I’m thrilled about the release of the fixtures. The opening games are very attractive and I believe there’s a high probability that we can start off strong and build momentum.

For me, Jodi Jones is the standout permanent signing for Notts County. He’s such an interesting and exciting player to watch on the pitch. His speed and agility make him a real threat to any defence. But I must say, I’m also delighted with the other three permanent signings. Will Randall, David McGoldrick and Dan Chorley all bring something unique to the team and I’m looking forward to seeing how they all perform this season.

It’s interesting that he may already have a friendship with John Bostock. I think once he settles and his confidence grows, along with the support of the fans, we may have signed a player with a good resale value. Not that this is the only consideration, but his quality could take us further with such a great squad.

The birthday boy has scored another point - the correct answer is Darren Ward. I hope to share another round shortly. When I say the time, something crops up, but I suggest keeping a lookout. Well done, @Fan of Big Tone. @Fozzy @super_ram, you need to be quicker guys.

This has the potential to be a massive signing for Notts. He’s a great player and comes to us with a far better squad than he was around at Morecambe. I think his coming here will be a big boost for Luke Williams.

I am also pleased by the arrival of Dan Crowley. He has the ability to help us gain promotion. The recruitment is finally allowing us to add the right depth, and I think this will be money well spent. He’s a very good player who can reach his full potential by playing in our squad.

Where? No, keep guessing.

@Fan of Big Tone Just to confirm, you’re asking me now if he played for Forest. Not re-asking me if you can ask the question? Yes.

@super_ram KOP side, near County Road. There are a few more than 39 steps, but it’s the closest you’ll get with Notts involved.

I can’t break the rules of the game though, so I am just sneaky with my wording at times. You can ask any questions you wish.

I would hope so, it's the aim of the game after all. ????

Round 13 clue: This player was born in a town in Nottinghamshire and began his professional career with a local club. He later moved to another club in the same county for a significant fee and made a large number of appearances for them.

When Cal Roberts was around Meadow Lane towards the end of last season, I assumed he was coming back to support his old teammates and friends. Maybe Aberdeen suggested that he find a new club? Scunthorpe United has built a decent team since being relegated from League Two.

Points Table: @Fan of Big Tone - 4 @Fozzy - 4 @super_ram - 2 @KB1862 - 1 @liampie - 1 I will think of another player within the next few hours and, post round 13 then. I'll aim between 6 to 6:30pm.

I have followed quite a few members. I didn't realise I had neglected this feature, but I have made sure that I have added all the members who are active and whom I am most likely to respond to.

I think Jim O’Brien brings many benefits to the squad; he’s a great guy to help with morale and his fiery passion is enough to spark others’ lights when playing. Even though it’s one deal, it feels great to have him renew. He’s shared a great journey with us and it’s great that he persisted playing. Seeing him carry Aden Baldwin off the pitch was a great moment, but so were his expressions and joy.

It feels like we lose far less now than we would normally do. It says a lot about our dressing room, club and morale in general. Although I wished Ruben had agreed to stay, I am pleased that we have Kyle Cameron on board along with Jodi Jones, Connell Rawlinson and Jim O’Brien. We just need Aaron Nemane to stay; roll on the Football League!

During the years I have supported Notts, we have had quite a few international players: Andre Boucaud, Jonathan Forte… I had more in mind until I started writing, but I don’t remember any of them getting the chance to play against England. It’s a massive game for Jodi; one he should be very excited about and I don’t think he will go into the game all star-struck. I think he will want to prove a point; I hope he manages to impress.

This is brilliant; it was interesting to learn about Tony’s backstory and his favourite moments. I wasn’t here for the Warnock era, but I know he’s a legend! Sign him up, Chris..

Yes, I still can’t believe we aren’t dealing with clueless owners who think we are there to be taken for granted. It’s weird to have two owners who very rarely say anything; not a complaint. It’s refreshing because it stops the doom and gloom merchants from piping up.

I think GP would prefer to keep you on the straight and narrow, rather than me. I have an innocent charm about me and I can imagine you being scolded right now. So, those sticks will definitely be yours, but not in the way you said. Behave yourself and you’ll be fine. Wait, did Granny say to dock a point? ????

You got, quit complaining or I'll borrow some heavily sticks to whack you good and proper @super_ram.

David McGoldrick is going to become a legend here at the club; he’s already proving himself to be a great guy. The club’s introduction of him walking with the background music, very FIFA or PES-esque, was really good. I think some players at his age may slow down, but their experience can’t be taught. He did well with Derby; I see no reason why he won’t be a success with us.

I didn’t see your comment earlier, but the answer is Jim O’Brien. I used my words against you all for once. @super_ram wins this round.

As Jim says, now with David McGoldrick, we have all the experience needed. Connell Rawlinson worked hard, as did Jim. I do agree that it was probably his best season despite some fans having opinions that I won’t repeat. I don’t think it was a fair reflection, but Jim tirelessly puts effort into the pitch and he’s right; we have the quality needed to go forward.
