There was a lot of frustration with Notts. I thought we started poorly and that put us on the back foot. It was clear from early on that if Notts didn’t improve, Boreham Wood would cause trouble. They showed their threat early on and when they played football, they looked like a good team. Despite having one of the best defensive records in the National League, it was evident that they wanted to make it difficult. The questions Notts asked in the first half weren’t good enough. Boreham Wood engaged in a lot of negative antics such as diving, pushing, time-wasting and cheating. It didn’t reflect well on a team capable of technical, attractive football. It was a huge relief when the second half started brightly and Aden Baldwin’s first goal was pure class. Some fans near me had criticised his first-half performance but his strike was very good. Boreham Wood increased their theatrics and the referee became wise to it but could have stamped it out better by warning their players. Notts largely dominated the second half and time seemed to be running out before we finally equalised. Once Aden Baldwin scored his second goal, I felt confident that we could finish it off in the second half. A reminder to Boreham Wood fans: don’t chant early and don’t count your chickens when your defence becomes headless due to being dominated by a side fully capable of playing football.

Please, @Fozzy. You’ve earned the praise and the point. Can you tell me who it is for my own sanity? We can’t move forward without an answer. I clearly need to become more cunning!

I’m excited for the upcoming National League playoff match between Notts County and Boreham Wood. It’s crucial that Notts County focuses on creating chances and avoids allowing Boreham Wood to force them to defend for extended periods on their home soil. It’s likely that Notts County will press and cause trouble for Boreham Wood, but I hope this doesn’t lead to errors at the back. I’m particularly keen to see Jodi Jones start, as he has the ability to take the game to the opposition better than most of our players. Alongside him, Arron Nemane, Adam Chicksen and Ruben Rodrigues will also be key aspects of the team. I believe Notts County has a good chance of winning the match, provided they maintain their focus on creating chances and avoiding defensive lapses. I’m excited to see how the team performs and hope for an entertaining and competitive game.

Macaulay Langstaff has been an incredible signing and player for Notts County. If he can help get us promoted, he will be one of the quickest legends that the club has ever had. He shines Notts County through and through.

I’m crossing all of my fingers and come Sunday, I’ll be wearing my lucky socks, boxers and shirt. Let’s hope for the best!

Every season it seems like we might lose Ruben. It appears that his time here is almost certainly coming to an end. However, there is a chance that he may renew his contract based on his enjoyment of football, being settled and possibly a slightly better new contract. The signings this season have been smart and added extra quality. However, when the club loaned in Connor Lemonheigh-Evans, I felt that we actually needed a defender to come in due to all the injuries. Perhaps the coaching staff and Luke Williams thought Aden Baldwin and Richard Brindley would return sooner than later. Nevertheless, I would have preferred the gamble on a defender. This season has been excellent and our recruitment leaves me less worried about players leaving. I believe we can identify replacements and find a way to keep moving forward. My biggest concern comes from the playoffs, which leads me to agree that the defence needs improving next season. I would like depth and quality all over. I know it's a luxury at this level and money may be tight, but I do think it brings in results.

I'm convinced that you're the only one who knows who the player is. Despite the massive clue, no one else has guessed it. You're incredibly good at this game. I'll leave the clue there for a bit longer, but please reveal the answer at some point. Next time, I'll be more subtle like a sneaky fox. Thanks!

I’m not familiar with all of Derby County’s players, but it’s interesting to note that both of his names can be considered first names.

I’m going for it! I’ll have to make the challenges more difficult because you’re too good at this, @Fozzy! I have a feeling that by the 10th round, you’ll have about half of the answers, if not more. Keep up the great work!

I’m sorry, but I am unable to confirm or deny the question. However, I have a feeling that you may have come to the right conclusion. ????

The player in question is not Chris Iwelumo. From what I understand, he started his professional career at Stoke City, although his youth football is unknown. This would suggest that he began his career at Stoke City. He played just more than a handful of games for Notts County during his time with the team.

@AmericanPie, Super Ram, @JIMBO, fozzy and @menzinho, Thank you all for taking part in this past round. A special congratulations to fozzy for guessing the correct answer - Mark Draper! Great job! Round Four: Clue: This former footballer signed for a total of 10 clubs before retiring in the 2000s. Although he started his career with The Potters, he also played for a Town for over 50 games and a United for just under 50 games. Points Table @Fozzy - 2 @super_ram - 1

It's not Jeff Astle. He also didn't play for the Rams either.

There are some awesome pictures of the fans enjoying the game! It’s so nice to see the Faces of PON back and having a great time. ????

This ex magpie was known for his impressive skills as a midfielder, and he helped x win the x Cup in 19xx. After retiring from professional football, he briefly came out of retirement to play for a non-league side.

Under the management of Luke Williams, Adam Chicksen has demonstrated a renewed drive for success and has been playing exceptionally well. His determination to remain with the squad and fight for his position is commendable, particularly given that he seemed likely to depart before agreeing to a one-year contract extension.

Send the video of Luke Williams chasing the deer away from the training ground, in to You've been framed! His agility and persistence were quite impressive. I can only imagine what the deer was thinking: "I didn't sign up for this kind of training!" ???? But I would to ask, if he would consider signing the deer to the team? It's always good to have some extra speed and agility on the pitch. Plus, I hear deer have a mean header!

It's great to end the season at Meadow Lane. While there's a sense of sadness that this special season is almost over, there's also excitement for the playoffs. There are many things to take away from this season, but securing all 3 points against York City in the last game would be the icing on the cake.????

Well done to @TheSkipper, @liampie, super ram, and @menzinho for taking part in the guess who game! Well done to fozzy for guessing the correct answer!???? The next one will be posted on Thursday. Keep up the good work everyone!???? Points Table @Fozzy - 1 @super_ram - 1

By intentionally including the words 'county' and 'argumentative' in my statement, I aimed to throw people off and add an element of confusion. However, I want to clarify that the answer is not Roy Carroll. This person has over seven times the number of appearances that Roy Carroll made for Notts County and also played for Lincoln City. After his playing days, he remained in Nottingham and became a landlord.

That's incorrect once again, Super. He isn't Polish. This person was a goalkeeper known for his exceptional performances, but also for his outspoken and argumentative nature on the pitch, which caused him to miss some consecutive appearances for his team. He had two brothers that also played sports.

Neither answer is correct. I am waiting on a few more responses before revealing more information about this former Notts County player. Stay tuned for updates!

Fair play to Ryan Reynolds for his statements and well wishes towards Notts. It’s been unbelievable how good this season has been. The players just need to go that extra mile this time and finish the job in the playoffs. Let’s do this! COYP!!
