    Over the weekend, I mostly channel-hopped, exploring what was on TV and trying to make the most of the films that were available. It’s not something I usually do, and I haven’t done it for some time, but with the rain over the past few days, I actually found it to be quite enjoyable.

    This appointment has been long overdue. The club operating without replacing Jason Turner will have been a setback. I realise the club will have wanted to pay their respects, which they did, but the appointment of a new CEO should have been in place for the beginning of the pre-season. I wish Joe Palmer all the best with his switch to Notts. I think the writer wants to make Joe Palmer sound appealing due to the loss of Jason Turner. It’s probably a case of putting in more effort as a way to win him over with fans. It’s very difficult, considering.

    Each friendly has given Notts a different type of test, which, from the manager’s perspective, reveals a lot about his squad. Now that Luke Williams is starting to settle the squad down, having a difficult game will give him food for thought. The team will provide instructions and feedback to the players when they rewatch the footage after the game. I don’t see it as a problem that Notts dominated but only scored once; credit to Boston for holding on and proving to be difficult.

    It’s inflation for you all. I had no problem paying 20p to use public toilets that are well-maintained and clean. I think it’s a good incentive to keep idiots from making them a total mess. Correction, I say I never had a problem, but actually, there were times when I just didn’t have 20p on me, which is quite frustrating. You dig deep in your pockets, busting to go, and thankfully find one. Now, you have to dig deeper to find two if you’re lucky. They want you to say that 50p would be easier, then before you know it, it will be 50p for a wee and £1 for the other. ????

    I bounce around the house, awaiting release back to football. I find the close season to be really boring and uneventful. I very much look forward to the beginning of pre-season, the signings, but not so much the rumours as they tend to always be made up. I mean, out of all the reports linked to us, none of them were correct to my knowledge. However, I am looking forward to the beginning of the season.

    This is crazy! Thank goodness nobody was injured or hurt during this. I never would have imagined this happening within the United Kingdom, not even at that level.

    I have caught the highlights of some of the games so far, but no full matches. I want to try to catch a few of England’s games. From what I have seen so far, I think it has been a bit subpar. England were lucky to get the VAR decision and then the retaken penalty, as without the technology it might have ended differently.

    It will be an excellent opportunity for the club to have a good run out against Boston United, who have a lovely new stadium. This match will provide a chance to see how the club compares against a team with a few familiar faces. I believe that Boston will give Notts the most significant challenge out of all the away pre-season friendlies. However, it’s important to remember that this is just an insight for the coaching team. I am hoping that Boston will try to park the bus, so we can finally see if we are creative enough to break down these types of teams without losing our composure. As for the squad, I am sure that Luke Williams has his team in mind. I agree with those who have expressed their desire for the youngsters to get a chance. I suspect that they will until the start of the season.

    I have seen a video of Joss training with Solihull Moors, and the players around him seem very happy. It reminded me of when we signed John Bostock. I wish him well with his new club.
  10. allardyces tash
    It makes sense to switch John Bostock, but I would have thought it could have been done before the first announcement of the squad numbers.

    It’s good to see that the new CEO has finally been appointed. I did wonder if one would be found before the season started. He sounds like a credible candidate. The article reads well, and I hope he continues to invest time in listening to fans. It seems like the club is going to tease his appearance, just like they did with the shirts. ????

    Adam Chicksen has touched upon many positive things. Returning to the Football League and repeating the push for promotion that we’ve seen us achieve in the National League will be a positive thing. It would be even better if we managed back-to-back promotions, but it’s a lot easier on the club if we finish as high as possible because this lifts the fan base. It would be good to be a better-than-average League Two team, but one pushing for promotion.

    I’m not against a young defender filling in the role, but I think Luke Williams is undecided if we need another CB or not. It’s clear that someone at the club is listening to the fans, but I’m sceptical about this lad or Nathan Claxton.

    Solid advice, especially for many of the younger people in this world now.
  17. allardyces tash
    It’s always good to be able to fall back on former clubs. I hope Michael Doyle enjoys working with the youngsters at Portsmouth. He has a lot of good qualities that should help.

    I’m pleased that Callum McGregor got his wish to captain his boyhood club. He always looked class when he played for Notts. It’s also good to see Scotland enjoying some success due to him and many other talented players. The Scottish squad he’s in now is probably the best he’s had for years. He’s not only a Celtic legend but a Scottish legend too.

    I will add Pierce Bird, there's quite a few obvious ones.

    I drink at the Embankment or Navi. Sometimes, I’ll grab one closer to the city centre, depending on the weather. If it’s sunny, there are plenty of good bars and pubs to go to. I don’t like the MLSB’s pricing or offering. I wouldn’t drink warm lager at half-time either.

    I think we might end up being surprised by how other teams give Oldham and Chesterfield a run for their money. I can see Chesterfield’s attempt at buying themselves out of the league failing, if I’m perfectly honest. I just have this feeling that they will bottle it and end up in the playoffs.
  22. allardyces tash
    I don’t follow any other clubs, at least not in football. I occasionally pay attention to England and Nottinghamshire cricket, but no other clubs in football.

    Follow @Chris’s advice, @Fan of Big Tone. There’s no way the computer can be salvaged from that. Do it with the hard drive, unless you can repurpose it. You can download free software that fully wipes the drives and prevents any form of data recovery. If you’re technologically minded, follow a guide on it.

    Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @BeestonPie. Join in if you get chance.

    Concise yet deep insight into what's going on with the players currently. The transparency Williams provides, especially regarding player injuries, is commendable. The minor injuries don’t seem to be a cause for alarm since they’re part and parcel of pre-season training. I appreciate the careful management of player welfare shown here, there's a long season ahead and it's important that everyone’s up for it.
