  1. All we can do is give our utmost effort, and I’m confident that we, the fans, will support the lads and cheer them on vociferously. It would be splendid if we could secure another 2-0 victory away from home, but I’m uncertain about how Colchester United will perform against Notts. I’ve watched a few of their highlights, and it seems they’ve been unfortunate to concede some goals, while others have been a complete disaster. However, when you’re up against a team that’s near the top of the league, it naturally motivates the opposition players. I don’t anticipate an easy or routine match; I foresee a challenging first half and an improved second.
  2. He’s a player who, I believe, lifted Notts’ game last season. His unique style and intense energy off the bench set him apart from our other players. This season, we haven’t seen the best of Sam Austin yet, but he’s performing well. I hope he gets more opportunities in the starting lineup. When he starts, he shows great potential. However, as a substitute, he seems to take a while to adjust to the game’s speed. His confidence is evident in his play, and I agree with his sentiments on its importance.
  3. As for Dagenham’s new signing, while Freddie Sears may be past his prime, he should still prove effective in the National League.
  4. There’s undoubtedly a belief that we have the potential to excel. Without explicitly stating it, if our growth continues, I don’t see why we couldn’t enjoy another successful season. However, there’s still a considerable journey ahead. Luke Williams is well aware of this and our aim is to maintain our form as best as we can. Winning matches instils a certain mindset within the team, which becomes second nature and almost instinctive. Therefore, by Williams taking each match as it comes, we remain grounded and able to concentrate on what truly matters.

  6. As for the EFL Trophy, that result is truly embarrassing! What a complete shambles.
  7. Jesse Debrah seemed like a promising prospect to sign, but there are plenty of options. As long as we’re winning, it’s not much of a concern. Hopefully, by January, we’ll have someone lined up because Ollie Tipton and the other lad seem far from ready for our first team.
  8. During his first loan, I was quite fond of Sam Graham, although he did become somewhat nervous and prone to mistakes over time. I hope he does well. I’ve noticed it’s only a short-term deal, and I don’t believe it’s conducive to his development to not be settled with a club that will play him for the long term. I hope he finds his footing in the National League.
  9. What some individuals fail to recognise is that what appears simple isn’t always so. A beautifully executed pass that splits the opposition and accelerates just at the right moment as it crosses the halfway line can be deceiving. It’s likely a bit too fast to keep up with!
  10. The e-book launch by Paul Mace sounds intriguing. I wish him all the best. If any fans purchase it, please do leave a review and provide some feedback as I might consider reading it myself.
  11. As for films, I don’t have a particular favourite as my preferences vary depending on my mood. I’m quite fond of most Pixar and Dreamworks animations, as I tend not to enjoy some of the more serious genres like horror. While I can watch them and find some enjoyable, I generally prefer content that is more family-oriented. Star Wars could potentially be one of my favourites. Interestingly, I actually prefer the films that were released after the original trilogy.
  12. If this licence can be enforced and owners are made to adhere to stricter rules, it could significantly alleviate the debt issues we often see. Sometimes, owners may have a tendency to gamble, throwing caution to the wind and overspending in the hopes of achieving promotion. There’s much that can be done, but this is certainly a positive beginning.
  13. I’ve never met Jimmy, but I’ve read a lot about him over time and it’s clear that many fans respect him greatly for bringing some of the best moments to Notts County during their years of support.
  14. I don’t recall him at all, does anyone else remember any of his appearances?
  15. I don’t think they need to visit the opticians, but the tweet is amusing, like the blind leading the blind. Perhaps they should ring up the ghost hunters? To rid themselves of their troubles.
  16. This is an excellent article, brilliantly penned by @TheSkipper. I believe Notts, under the Reedtz, has truly welcomed its fans. Winning games naturally brings joy, but we’ve demonstrated this season that even when the tide is against us, we continue to support our players and club wholeheartedly. The atmosphere at Sutton was testament to this; despite not seeming likely to gain anything, the fans were phenomenal. As @liampie drove us back, we all discussed the positivity of the support and how it inspired us to attend more away games. This trend has continued at home games and it’s simply remarkable. If Notts County wishes to expand its fanbase, this mutual relationship needs nurturing. The club has been fantastic and seeing Meadow Lane filled to capacity is truly heartening.
  17. Oh… swears****** I need to make the clues significantly more challenging. I might avoid using birth dates and opt for more cryptic hints. Well Done @Fan of Big Tone. You may need to bring a sleeping bag @Fozzy, Tone is really asserting pressure. Did @super_ram even wake up for this round? ????????
  18. All that is important is securing a victory, with commendable performances serving as a positive indicator. I would be content with an unattractive win, but that wasn’t the situation against Forest Green. We emerged victorious because we merited it and outperformed them throughout the entire 90 minutes. David McGoldrick has been exceptional and his goal was neatly executed.
  19. Round 16: Clue: Can you guess the professional footballer, who first saw the world on a day in early September 1991, and last showcased his skills on the pitch for a team located in the North East of England, often seen patrolling the left side of the field?
  20. Regrettably, I had to put in extra hours at work yesterday and couldn’t share a new round. However, I’ll ensure to do so between 5:30 and 6pm. My questions and hints are already prepared. I just need to share them. This is your heads up. @super_ram @Piethagoram @liampie @Fozzy @KB1862 @Fan of Big Tone
  21. Hello and welcome to PON, @Niederbayern Pie.
  22. Hello, @Middlesex Magpie. It's good to be welcoming you to PON.
  23. Tobi was very poor in his distribution and defending. He's a great guy but doesn't get a free pass from me for those areas. Stone was very poor too.
  24. As for Connell Rawlinson, I don’t believe he was out of line, but his tweet was unnecessary. Does he need to apologise? In my opinion, no. I’ve seen tweets that would make apologising difficult. It’s not fair to take offence at a player expressing his views, then defend your own or engage in offensive remarks. This includes liking such comments; it just puts you on the same level. The tweet shouldn’t have been posted, but it wasn’t offensive. The outrage seems to be more due to the attention surrounding Tom’s work.
