  1. I understand that playing on a pitch where the grass is torn up and the roof is closed can have some impact. However, if we are to accept that the players are truly exhausted, it’s worth noting that the competition will only get more challenging the further they progress. Gareth Southgate could face additional criticism if he doesn’t alter the starting lineup soon. I’m unsure how one can commence a competition of this magnitude with players who are reportedly tired. Some might be two games in, and while it has been warm in Germany, they are professional footballers. I would give anything to be in their shoes, and I can’t envision complaining about fatigue. I would simply relish the opportunity to play football at such a high level.
  2. He may well stay at the helm for a longer duration than his stint with England, but I’m not convinced he’ll achieve as much success as he could have with the Three Lions. That being said, I believe it would be a beneficial appointment for Wales, as long as he remains focused on training and game preparation, rather than being distracted by other matters.
  3. It’s wonderful to welcome you, @Jake. It appears you’re carrying on your family’s tradition. It’s fantastic to learn that you’ve secured a season ticket for the forthcoming season. That’s the initial step towards becoming a devoted Notts fan. We experience highs and lows together, but rest assured, you’ll receive a warm welcome from all. Have a fantastic season! Enjoy every moment!

  15. Players who recognise the support of fans often find it boosts their performance and helps them settle in. This can significantly contribute to making a player feel at home. I believe this is a strong signing, offering not just quality but also a unique element to our team. His ability to play on either flank complements our current setup, especially since Jodi Jones and Aaron Nemane are versatile enough to switch sides whenever necessary. He seems like an excellent addition who’s quite grounded.
  16. I believe it’s a great signing for Notts. Securing a goalkeeper with Alex Bass’s reputation, even for a fee, shows smart recruitment. The club has done well to bring him on board. While such deals can sometimes turn out poorly, this one is complete and looks promising. A three-year contract is an ideal duration for Bass to develop further in his role. Moreover, I’m confident that Tiernan Brooks will benefit from working closely with Bass, rather than being overshadowed. It’s an opportunity for Brooks to learn and improve.
  17. Are you worried about something? Stress can affect anxiety, as you've explained. If it's happening all the time, then it's probably not just a panic attack. But you might be showing signs of one. It's best to get checked out, mate. I hope it's nothing serious.
  18. British football, with its physicality and speed, is quite different from the continental style, which focuses more on technique and tactics. Both styles have their own strengths. British football is exciting to watch because of its fast-paced nature and physical challenges. Players are often praised for their stamina and strength, making the game intense and thrilling. This style can be especially effective in high-pressure situations where quick goals are needed. On the other hand, continental football is admired for its emphasis on skill and strategic play. Teams focus on maintaining possession and precise passing, creating a more controlled and thoughtful game. This style allows for creative plays and often results in beautiful goals that showcase players' technical abilities. Both styles have their merits. British football's energy and passion can overwhelm opponents, while continental football's focus on finesse and strategy can outsmart them. Each brings something unique to the sport, making football a diverse and captivating game.
  19. That's a great story. I don't have a claim to fame. I haven't met anyone very famous, butI once spoke to Alan Smith, I was much younger, and it's not a big deal.
  20. It's a large amount for a team that the manager, Luke Williams, would need to spend wisely. I don't think it's a serious transfer target, but until an offer comes in, we shouldn't worry or add to the rumours.
  21. The club might be able to offer better prices by collaborating more with Magpie Brewery. They should maintain their current selection but also introduce some local beers for variety. However, the high prices could exclude many fans. The Nest shouldn’t be exclusive to the wealthy; it should welcome all supporters. The necessity of charging for standing room is questionable. While the club can find ways to generate revenue, it seems unreasonable when there are complimentary venues that are just as pleasant. Our goal should be to unite our fans in one place, all eagerly cheering on the team.
  22. Italy appeared quite ordinary again, and Albania might have posed a greater challenge had they shown more urgency at times. It was an engaging match with some solid opportunities towards the end. The announcement of added time seemed delayed. The referee appeared eager to conclude the match once the four minutes of added time, plus a bit more, had elapsed.
  23. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, we are a friendly bunch @Stephen May, Your views on Notts would be welcomed.
  24. Leigh Curtis seems to be causing a stir with his journalism, suggesting Derby County might be interested in signing Macaulay Langstaff. While Luke Williams may hold him in high regard, it’s unlikely Langstaff would move to Wales to join him. It’s more probable he’d prefer to stay closer to his family, which works in our favour. Besides, if Swansea City could meet our owners’ likely asking price, they would probably have more established Championship players to consider. Macca isn’t likely to leave without a fight; I believe he’ll stay with us for a while longer.
  25. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Jake. Are you a big Notts fan? Don't be afraid or put off from joining in, we are all keen to see new members take part.
