  1. In my opinion, Neal Bishop would be better suited to a coaching role rather than a managerial position. However, I am not an expert on the matter and it is ultimately up to him to decide what role he would excel in. I do believe that if he finds the right role for his skills and abilities, he will do well and I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
  2. A well-deserved nomination for Luke Williams! It's clear as day that his management style has led the team to experience such a successful run. It's his humble nature that stands out, always crediting the team for their collective efforts. We, as fans, really appreciate that.
  3. Good appointment by York City, I think Neal Ardley enjoys working in the National League. He might prefer bringing a team up to speed, rather than taking charge of a league team that may struggle. You get far less time in the EFL, so working in the National League gives him more room to develop and improve the team. I can see him doing well with York and helping them reach their full potential.
  4. I personally wouldn’t read too much into MK Dons and their injuries. We have to prepare for all scenarios as they may suddenly make a return to action. Defensively, Notts needs to block, tackle and clear the ball away from danger. Careful tackles though, as I imagine they may try to gain free kicks in dangerous positions on the pitch. This is one of the games which I have a lot of cautions about, as I think they are good enough to punish us for making any simple mistakes. If we can be 0-0 at half time or at least not have conceded, I will feel a lot more comfortable. It’s important for Notts to stay focused and not let their guard down.
  5. Luke Williams is right, the travelling fans to the MK Dons game can make a big impact. I sound like a broken record, but it’s the liveliest I have known Notts fans for years. Their energy and enthusiasm are impressive, and I am looking forward to seeing how the club does against them on Saturday. The support from the fans can really boost the morale of the players and give them that extra push to perform at their best.
  6. Adam Chicksen is the player I think should be given the start. He can beat his man and did so several times last season. He tended to get caught out nearer the end when he was running on fuel and needed a break. Yet his commitment was to continue to play, supporting Luke Williams and the team by not requesting a chance to take a breather because he knew we had few options for cover. Williams made that decision, so I hope he makes the right call here.
  7. I am glad the next three games are live. It gives those fans unable to travel a boost and could be a nice thing for our community if we continue to do well. I am sure we will, but those streams will sell like hot cakes if we have the chance of remaining top.
  8. When you have a player like Macaulay Langstaff, it’s an easier decision for the manager. When you see how he performs and gives his all, then in his interview, he speaks of others before his own performance. It’s difficult not to think how lucky we are to have such a striker at the club. He’s been a massive part of taking Notts from being a playoff contender in the National League to promotion and now top of the League Two table. Obviously, it’s down to the team too, but Langstaff firing us forward is a massive benefit. He’s such a threat to the opposition in any game, so it’s pleasing to see him work hard.
  9. Hello and welcome to PON @JC1966.
  10. Welcome to PON, hello from me @zaradek.
  11. It's such a sad loss and absolute terrible news, at 55 you would never expect it to happen. My thoughts and condolences go out to Ian's family and friends.
  12. It will be a tough test for both teams, but at least Graham Alexander is acknowledging how well we did last season and how Notts has started so far. It’s going to be a lively game. I think MK Dons might be the first team to try to maintain the ball like we do, so the battle for possession will be really interesting to see how it unfolds. I am sure that with Luke Williams, along with Aden Baldwin and Adam Chicksen having experience of what their ground is like, we can go into it a bit more prepared.
  13. Yet again, Langstaff has proven himself to be a vital asset to our team. His relentless drive, knack for scoring crucial goals and unparalleled tenacity make him the fulcrum of the squad. His warrior spirit has undoubtedly propelled us to the top. Keep shining, Langstaff!
  14. Good luck to Tyrell Waite. Ilkeston should be a good fit since he’s already played for them.
  15. He should do okay with Wolves. I don’t really care about him, but it is an interesting move. He seems to come up smelling of roses.
  16. Good loan signing, interesting how this will work with them being managerless.
  17. Yes, it’s good to see the attendances so far this season, and I would also echo that I hope it continues. It makes a difference on match days; it’s not too busy but about the right balance for our match days.
  18. I thought nothing of this until they announced their loan arrival. It’s a strange decision to bring in a player when the manager has been sacked. I wonder if the two things have anything to do with each other.
  19. Oxford United fans should be patient and give Ruben Rodrigues more time to settle in. He didn’t instantly set the National League alight, but he’s a player who thrives when surrounded by quality. This season should be viewed as a project, with the aim of figuring out how best to utilise Rodrigues’ skills and help him perform at his best. With the right support, he’ll have no trouble proving his worth in League One.
  20. I have always enjoyed seeing the Faces of PON. It’s a fantastic fan gallery, and I appreciate the effort that goes into everything at the Pride of Nottingham. @Chris, these are superb. I am delighted that you are back taking pictures. You provide a great service to the fans, so keep up the good work.
  21. He should be a good addition, but I had hoped we would sign someone with a bit more experience. Whether he gets much time to feature is a different question, but I do agree that we need to give some minutes to those who haven’t featured. Unless they’re solely here to make up the numbers, which I strongly doubt.
  22. It’s an oldie by today’s standards, but a classic. Right now, this is how Notts makes me feel.
  23. Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @Banquo.
  24. Brennan Johnson isn’t worth more than £10m; he’s a decent young player but very overrated. Spurs have a habit of taking Forest players and bringing more out of them, but at that price, I am just not sure. I would rather have a Dele Alli type player.
  25. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but back the boys and make sure we lift them when it’s needed, regardless of whether they are performing well or not as we have been doing so far. I am delighted to see us go top, I know there’s a lot of work required to maintain it, but I believe we are capable if we play like we have been doing to secure an automatic promotion place. Notts just needs to keep working together as a team, and hopefully, the clean sheets will follow.
