  1. There isn't any recorded appearances on any statistical sites since 2021-22.I somehow merged a different comment with this, whilst using my phone. I can say for certain that he's still playing.
  2. I believe it’s crucial to remain positive and concentrate on the league. With the right approach and nurturing, the academy will flourish over time. If our youth players aren’t making the team, then we need to do more, and that should be our long-term focus. For now, let’s concentrate on our comeback.
  3. Mason Bennett, he was a real asset for Notts and it’s unfortunate that he sustained an injury so early into his loan spell with us. Now, Burton Albion has the opportunity to harness his talent. I wish them both the best of luck.
  4. Neil Warnock is an exceptional Football League manager. His retirement will undoubtedly cement his legendary status. It’s admirable that he chose to assist Huddersfield Town in their time of need.
  5. It’s uncertain whether he has had any appearances since the 2021-22 season. Ask away please, @Fan of Big Tone.
  6. Round 14 Clue: Born in Leicester, Leicestershire, on a day when the leaves were falling in 1992, I began my journey in football with a scholarship contract at a club renowned for its black and white stripes. @Fozzy @super_ram @Piethagoram @liampie please join in.
  7. Haydn Hollis is a player who comes to mind when considering links to both teams. Haydn’s dedication to Notts was commendable, and I believe he would thrive under the guidance of a manager like Luke Williams. It’s unfortunate that the fans turned their backs on him.
  8. I’m excited to be returning to Meadow Lane and I believe we’ll hold our own against Forest Green. I do hope they don’t force us to attack the KOP in the first half, as it seems like a tactic they might employ to throw us off. Regardless, I’m confident we’ll rise to the occasion and ensure the game is energetic. I hope we can maintain our vocal support even as the weather gets chillier. It truly makes a difference at matches, and I reckon the FGR fans will need to bring their A-game to make an impression. Jodi Jones could shift to the right, with Adam Chicksen stepping in on the left. If we keep the rest of the lineup unchanged and focus on feeding Macaulay Langstaff, we can seize our opportunities and give them a run for their money.
  9. The concept of garlic beer does sound rather off-putting, especially as I’m not particularly fond of beer or lager to begin with. The thought of how foul garlic beer might taste is quite daunting. It seems that many individuals of my age are increasingly opting not to drink. The idea of honey in beer did initially strike me as odd, but at least it adds a touch of sweetness.
  10. I’ll be initiating a new round at 6pm today @Fozzy @super_ram. Alternatively, it might be later @Fan of Big Tone - I look forward to seeing you all at the agreed time. I trust you’re prepared for the challenge ahead.
  11. It’s commendable that the Notts players are diligently improving their fitness and performance levels. This certainly gives them an edge when other teams begin to tire, allowing them to maintain their momentum. As the season progresses, this could prove crucial, with teams potentially losing focus and fitness. Dan Crowley is currently in exceptional form, and he deserves credit for his efforts.
  12. It’s gratifying to evaluate our squad and appreciate the team’s quality. It’s heartening to observe the abundance of talent within players who are on the cusp of breaking into the first team, all eager to make a contribution. The morale within Notts’ squad is not just impressive on an individual level, but as a collective unit. This is particularly evident following matches like the one against Salford.
  13. Why did Oldham Athletic sack David Unsworth? Because they finally realised he lived up to his name and was truly "unworthy" of the position! ???? I'll be available throughout the entire evening, so please don't forget to show your appreciation for the service by leaving a tip for your waiter or waitress. I fail to comprehend the reason behind their initial decision to choose him, but it is evident that they now require a more capable manager. Perhaps they could entice Ian Burchnall from Wolves to take charge, adding a touch of humour to the situation! ????
  14. I have a preference for reading stories such as this one, where teams make history, rather than solely focusing on the elite. It is my hope that they can defy the odds and secure their place in the higher tiers. It is truly refreshing to witness teams like them competing at the top level.
  15. During a discussion with a friend prior to the season, they expressed concerns about Notts facing difficulties in replacing Ruben Rodrigues. However, Dan Crowley, who possesses a completely different playing style, has emerged as a more refined and polished player, destined for even greater success. One remarkable aspect of his game is his extraordinary awareness, coupled with consistently exceptional performances. He effortlessly executes actions that would be a challenge for others, making everything appear natural. His swift passing, intelligent movement, and ability to find space remind me of Messi. The impact he has on our attacking prowess should not be underestimated. He is truly a fantastic acquisition, and his presence has strengthened the team, even though it may not have been the case if we still had Ruben.
  16. It is disheartening to receive news of the player's passing, but at the same time, it is intriguing to read about their efforts to emulate their idol. It offers a captivating glimpse into their performance and journey.
  17. It is anticipated that the exit will be swift, but no one should feel surprised or let down by it. I believe Luke Williams cannot expect the lineup he fielded to produce remarkable results. Players tend to perform better when they have had the opportunity to play together and establish a sense of cohesion. While some welcomed changes were made, they have ultimately weakened the team. Considering the number of fixtures already demanding attention, this particular event does not garner much enthusiasm in terms of attendance either.
  18. Junior Morias may not live up to all the hype surrounding him, but it's important to note that we have only witnessed him briefly, and that too in just one game. It was a match where Notts performed poorly. It's a well-known fact that strikers often struggle when the rest of the team doesn't perform up to par.
  19. I'm certain that we might have overlooked a target or two. The main difference between us and Wrexham is that they have released a significant number of players and are in need of strengthening. On the other hand, we didn't have to do this as much, so I'm not too concerned about them failing to secure new signings. If anything, it could be seen as a fortunate situation for us.
  20. Colin Murphy isn’t a name with which I’m overly familiar, but regardless, he was a member of our club and it’s saddening to hear of such a loss. I extend my sympathies to his family and friends, may Colin rest in peace.
  21. I’m endeavouring to keep you in suspense, but I will corroborate this with @Fozzy and @super_ram to attempt to equalise the competition. ????
  22. That’s a valid point. I believe their stronger signings have been the likes of Mullin, Lee, and Palmer. These are impressive signings, which, in my opinion, Fletcher doesn’t quite match. However, I do recognise the experience he brings. I just feel they need to infuse some speed and a touch of youth into their side.
  23. I was explicit enough, but I was referring to the future. We are demonstrating our progress as a team. Having reached this stage with only one loss speaks volumes, but who knows if we can go an entire season unbeaten in a few seasons’ time?
  24. Notts has consistently demonstrated their ability to compete against any team, including teams like Salford. The anticipated return of Macaulay Langstaff, Matt Palmer, Jodi Jones, and Aaron Nemane to the squad certainly strengthens their chances of a win. Their individual skills and collective teamwork could potentially tip the balance in their favour. I’m looking forward to an exhilarating match! This isn’t the place to be making such statements; it’s one of those things that simply mustn’t be jinxed. This is a pivotal match, and Notts must disregard their home form, as should you. ????
  25. It’s unlikely to occur, but just imagine if the Saudi league weren’t so stringent with their gambling laws and Paddy Power were the sponsor of this team. ????
