It's a good read and very positive about Jatta's career and skill. It will draw more attention to him as a player, but that's something Notts will have to handle now that we're recruiting better players.

Every year since I was a child, I have noticed product packages getting smaller. I feel consumers aren't as savvy as they should be. If more people spoke up and companies focused less on squeezing as much profit as possible, and instead sold products that flew off the shelves, it would be fairer. I understand there are outside factors, but most of it ends up being at the expense of the consumer.

It just goes to show how important it is to spend and invest wisely in your squad. I'm not surprised, as Notts have only been back in the EFL for one full season so far, and it takes time to catch up. This highlights the importance of higher gates at Meadow Lane and commercial efforts around the club, like early season ticket adoption, The Nest, and other revenue streams.

It's promising to see the club thinking ahead, but the appointment doesn't mean much to me at the moment. I'll reserve judgement until I see how he settles into the role and what he can bring to the team. The position seems straightforward, and he will have the backing needed to succeed. It's also encouraging to see the Reedtz family sticking to their network, which helps them deepen their understanding and build a routine for knowing what works. Although the role is new, previous experience should help. To me, though, it feels like a standard appointment.

The defeat against Colchester United was a setback, but it can be overcome with a strong performance against Salford. If Notts continue their current form, I think they can hold onto a playoff spot. However, achieving automatic promotion would require more consistent wins. Salford showed they could break us down and make things difficult at their ground. Although I wasn't there, I watched the highlights, and it was clear that Notts struggled to adjust to their gameplan. Hopefully, lessons have been learned since then, and I expect a very different match at Meadow Lane.

Tyler Miller's signing appears to be good cover. If he proves to be a strong addition and the club secures a longer-term deal, I'd be pleased to see this area addressed. With Sam Slocombe dealing with a back injury, there is a risk of being left without a first-choice goalkeeper, which could be a challenge. I think this signing is more about preparing for the playoffs rather than pushing for automatic promotion. It's great to see our fans already welcoming Miller and making him feel part of the team.

I know Colchester's ground is in the middle of nowhere, but it's quite a nice stadium for a modern one. It's easy to reach, leaving is hassle-free, and the match atmosphere isn't too bad. I wish I could be attending, but I'll have to wait for next season now. Notts should be able to maintain their current form. I think a lot depends on keeping David McGoldrick available and ensuring the players defend like they can while minimising mistakes.

I vote for @DangerousSausage to become the Pride of Nottingham's official April Fools planner. The good old days when PON used to create them were fantastic, especially the Jake Bugg prank, which Nottinghamshire Live picked up before realising it was an April Fools.

Will Jarvis gets my vote. I thought he showed real class in taking on players and getting shots off. David McGoldrick also played well and took it upon himself to try to break the deadlock. However, I felt Jarvis played as though he was sending a message to Stuart Maynard. If we can see performances like this from him regularly, he could be vital in the race for the play-offs or automatic promotion.

Happy Birthday, @super_ram. Share the cake amongst us! Hope you had a good birthday.

Notts were disappointingly poor today, especially in defence. Colchester United weren’t much better, but they defended well. Notts only played in spells, and a stronger side would have taken all three points. I’m not sure why we waited so long to take off Curtis Edwards. He put in the effort but wasn’t really in the game. We needed more energy on the ball, and while he had some good moments, his decision-making let him down. A draw was probably fair, but without Alex Bass, Colchester would have caused us far more problems. Midfield felt empty at times, so it wasn’t just the defence struggling. Rod McDonald got caught out for the equaliser, and Matt Platt and Zak Johnson should have done better. I don’t blame Bass – a defender should have marked the scorer.

Kellan Gordon or Conor Grant would have been worthy of recognition, though Grant faded in the second half. Notts County struggled defensively, and the absence of Jacob Bedeau was clear to see. The backline looked shaky for much of the game, and without Alex Bass in goal, things could have been far worse.

Granny Pie was a wonderful lady who made PON such a fun place to visit. She brought joy and warmth to everyone around her, and her spirit truly brightened our days. Although she is greatly missed, her legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew her. I am sending my love to Chris, Super, and all the family during this sad time. Please know that you are in my thoughts, and I hope you find comfort in the memories you shared.

I am not really into ice hockey or Nottingham Panthers, but with them being the nearest team I do occasionally look out for them and I do hope they do well.
