    I think Cisse and Gill looked quality. It’s clear the club has high hopes for Cisse. He looks like he could be given time in League Two and thrive with it. However, I wouldn’t rush him. There must be several of them with high hopes, so I hope we can get the most out of them all.

    I understand why Andy Dallas has decided to join Barnsley. It’s a good opportunity for his career, and once the club gets out of its current mess, they should be back on their way to the Championship. That, for any young striker, is enough to turn heads. It’s a great chance for him.

    Rest in peace, Sinead O'Connor.

    Hello to all four of you, I welcome each of you to PON.

    David McGoldrick will be an essential player in our quest to achieve back-to-back promotions. While some fans may prefer to take things one step at a time, it is important that we have faith in the abilities of this squad. Luke Williams, in particular, is a real driving force behind the team’s success. It is heartening to see experienced players such as McGoldrick and O’Brien thriving under his guidance. Watching the training videos released by the club, it is clear that the team is focused and determined, yet still able to enjoy themselves and have a good time. Maintaining this balance between focus and enjoyment is crucial for success on the pitch. The smiles and laughter evident in these videos are a testament to the positive morale within the team, which can only serve to benefit us in our pursuit of success.

    Fans should be able to call for an internal review when they suspect things are starting to go wrong. The most important part of a club is its fans. Without them, the club is nothing and I feel for Reading. Much like other clubs such as Wigan and Southend, their fans don’t deserve it. I hope Reading manages to get out of their trouble.

    It’s good to see Notts back in the Non-League paper, but without being Non-League standard. They positively praise Notts, which is unlike BT Sports until they changed their minds.

    They would be better off focusing on teams that aren’t aware they essentially just want the clicks, rather than the reads. Their antics at the start of the transfer window, with all their speculation and ‘sources’, revealed them to be opportunists. Some of their writers might be fine, but I don’t trust them.

    It's not the news anyone wants to read, I feel for his family. Rest in peace, Trevor Francis.

    Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Steveyward.

    What I like about David McGoldrick is that he’s always talking to the players around him, he’s always smiling too! His homecoming gives us a fairytale type story and on the back of promotion from the National League last season, well it brings optimism with it too. I have enjoyed seeing him so far, I think once the season begins we’ll start to see more of the class he brings. His experience from his days in the Championship and Premier League is going to be a big boost for us.

    I find it suspicious that @super_ram first attended a Notts game at Meadow Lane, rather than at the Baseball Ground and some other random team. It’s starting to paint a very clear picture, that tells me he is indeed a secret Notts County fan first and foremost. This Super_Ram is trying to keep his secret going, but I have said it before we can tell he loves Notts more! Can we have a whip-round to buy him a proper football shirt? This is a lovely and excellent read, I am only pulling your leg Super!

    I’ve already sorted out my tickets, but I would encourage all non-season ticket holders to make sure they attend the Grimsby game. Their support will be crucial in creating a party-like atmosphere at Meadow Lane. @Fan of Big Tone, do you not go by yourself now?

    Hello, welcome to PON. It's good to have you with us @JustLikeJuve.

    It’s good to have people like Tobi around. He seems to have recovered from his injuries, and from what I’ve seen of him during the pre-season, my confidence in his ability has increased. He appears to be a great guy who will boost morale in the dressing room. Luke Williams’ comment about charging him on the coach for away games is amusing, as is the campaign to have him do every post-match interview. The media team might consider giving Tobi a camera to capture a behind-the-scenes look at the club.

    I did a bit of general cleaning and watched TV, as there wasn’t much on my mind in terms of what to do. Mrs Doubtfire was on, which is a classic film that I enjoy watching and did so again.

    @Chris Is it Brad McGowan? He played for Alfreton Town.

    After seeing the goal, Notts moved the ball well and Cedwyn Scott’s finish was very tidy. In time, we will have players splitting the opposition’s defence. I have full faith that David McGoldrick and Dan Crowley will be able to do this, but we must be mindful that this is still a workout focused on experimenting and trying new things. It was a good performance in terms of possession and retaining the ball, as this builds confidence.

    I remember when public toilets were free and didn’t cost anything to use. I think charging 40p is daylight robbery. It’s almost like a convenience tax.

    It’s just crazy that this can happen, not only because it could have been a terrorist attack, but also due to the risks involved for people.
  21. CliftonMagpie
    I haven’t watched it and I most likely won’t. I don’t find it particularly interesting. I don’t watch much football outside of Notts, so it’s not entirely due to the standard of the women’s game, but more because of time constraints and other priorities. I hope England does well, but I doubt I’ll watch many games.
  22. CliftonMagpie
    They appear happy, and I have a feeling that one of them may have requested the change. I am not certain why; perhaps John Bostock previously had the number? It could also be that the club requested the switch. Regardless, it is not a major issue.
  23. CliftonMagpie
    It seems that he has a good level of experience and brings a fresh mindset, picking up where Jason Turner sadly left off before his passing. I hope that Joe Palmer takes the time to connect with the fans and get to know the community, as this would benefit him in settling into the club. With the appointment of a CEO, the club is now fully prepared for the League Two season.
  24. CliftonMagpie
    It’s going to be a good test to see Notts playing Boston United. I hope that Luke Williams continues to give some of the youngsters game time. It’s always exciting to see new talent on the pitch. I’m also hoping that Sam Slocombe is close to making a return. Fitness is key in these pre-season games, and it will be a good run out for the team. Fingers crossed for a great match!

    Colby Bishop and Tiernan Brooks, I thought I had posted to this earlier.
