There has been talk about something not quite being right. It's a shame that some people thought his performances were about him not being good enough for League Two, but how were they to know Cedwyn Scott has been struggling mentally? I wish him all the very best. I hope he can come back happier. His injury has caused him some issues, but I am sure he will come good. I wonder if his depression is also impacted by the loss of his friend, Macaulay Langstaff. Either way, it's not nice, and I send him my fullest support.

AFC Wimbledon are a decent team. From previous encounters, we know we can't write them off. Even if we take the lead, it has to be protected. I hope we are more creative in midfield than we have been recently, because that always helps players get chances on goal. Notts can play nice fluid football, but when you have wingers like Kellan Gordon floating in good crosses and others with decent passes, you can't rely on one or two bodies to put those chances away. We need to make space and take any opportunities that present themselves. I think there will be more than 2 goals in the game. Provided we don't draw 2-2 and get the 3 points, I will be happy. We need to start winning our home games again.

We are defensively stronger than in previous seasons, but it does seem to be at the expense of having another option up top. I thought the balance going into the season looked good, but then we lost players and relied on loan signings to fill the gaps. George Abbott has been a masterstroke of a signing, but Jevani Brown is yet to show why we needed him. It might seem harsh on Brown, but we don't seem to want to play him much, just as a player to come on from the bench. I'm sure he's had time to get his match sharpness back. I do think we are defensively better, which is good. I think we can build from the back and play some good football. I hope in January, we can get another winger for cover and a proper replacement for Macaulay Langstaff to balance out the squad. Defensively, we don't need anything but cover. With Adam Chicksen looking to be on his way out, he would need replacing, regardless of whether Abbott could cover on the right.

Cedwyn Scott masks his struggles well, as I would never have guessed. I think it's a shame that he has taken so long to open up about it. Don't misquote me, it's good he has, but the moment it becomes a problem, I would hope any player would know the majority of fans would only want him to be happy and that Notts would support them. I guess Scott tried to be brave and keep it inside. It's good he's come out and is seeking the help needed.

A solid win for the ladies' team. Really pleased to see them beat Crewe's team.

It’s great to see the competition in the votes, especially with George Abbott coming out on top. Special mentions to Kellan Gordon and Alassana Jatta, who were strong candidates and deserved votes as well. Well done, George Abbott.

I think realistically, it would be between Kellan Gordon and George Abbott. Not that the team didn't play well, but I thought they were exceptional. I think Abbott just about edges it. It's good to see his commitment to doing well. He's taking the loan opportunity and putting in the work.

@Wheelbarrow repair man Did you see the following message when trying to return to your topics? If so, this is likely the issue. Somehow the URL changed, but the gaffer has fixed it.

@Chris, the community URL has changed to /forum/. This could be the reason why WRM is experiencing so many issues. I just noticed.

Please don’t feel like your topics being moved to the appropriate forum is you being targeted. We are just trying to make sure the community runs as smoothly as possible. If you are having issues, it’s worth reaching out to the gaffer. Just like Liam has said, I would be happy to help and I am only a PM away if you need it. Once you get the knack of what goes where, you will find we don’t move content. If you have any questions, please do share them. We aren’t moving them for the sake of it.

The Faces of PON has been going strong for years, and it's fantastic to still see so many familiar faces the gaffer encounters, along with new fans. Looking back at older galleries, it's great to see how our fan base has grown and how special it is to watch some of the more recognisable supporters grow up. Well done, @Chris!

Well done, Dan Crowley. Kellan Gordon received a fair share of votes, but there’s no arguing with the numbers Crowley earned.

It was a tight encounter, and it’s disappointing that Stuart Maynard didn’t adjust the formation as needed. A bit of criticism for him, but it was clear something needed to change in the game, not just rely on substitutes.

Good match report. I wish we had more attacking options on the bench because the game could have been turned around. We don’t need to panic, but some fans are worried about the impact on the Chesterfield game. If we win that, the worry will be for nothing. We need to work on being less predictable in front of goal.

Notts tend to start well but struggle after being caught out. The goal was questionable, but it stood, and that’s when you want to see the team respond. We didn’t, and it knocked our confidence. If we had levelled before half-time, we might have turned it around. Games like this and Gillingham could be the difference between automatic promotion and playoffs. Jatta tried hard, but we needed two up front to counter Port Vale’s defence. Bringing on Robbie Cundy was bizarre and seemed desperate.

Kellan Gordon stood out for me. If we had more options in the box and better quality on goal, more fans would appreciate his crossing. It wasn’t that his passes or crosses were off; it was a lack of attacking support. I thought he was very good.

Happy to see Alex Bass voted as the Man of the Match for PON against Carlisle. I like how the votes have also gone up. Hope we can continue to encourage fans to have their say. It’s what the community here is for.

Those 3 points are crucial and very important for us. They keep us right in the mix of the top three, and the longer we stay in the running, the more belief will grow within our fan base and the club itself. It’s still early days, but we have handled the season very well so far. We must continue this to keep up such an amazing start. I am delighted we came back with the win. I wish I could have been there!

I voted for Jatta because his opening goal gave us the confidence to push forward and get a second. Without his touch of magic and the wonderful assist from Alex Bass, we wouldn’t have started so well. It’s harder to vote based on audio commentary and match reports, but I still say Jatta gets my vote.

Notts just has to work hard and stay sharp. It should be a good pitch to play on. I expect it will be a tough game, but we must dig deep and keep the ball out of our net. If we can attack with confidence, we should be able to manage defensively.

Jodi Jones is a big loss for us. If he reads comments from our fans or on the Pride of Nottingham, I hope he knows we are all with him and want to support him as best we can through his injury. We could have had worse news, but any type of break is never good. It’s good how he’s taken it and is focusing on what matters. He’s an exceptional player, a class above League Two, and I wish him a safe but speedy recovery. It will be great to see him back in the team. I am sure we have cover, and when he does return, he will make a huge impact on the team. His return could come at a vital point when we need someone of his quality.
