    George Abbott looks like a very good signing for Notts. I like that we have our attacking options but are also signing more defensive-minded players. Winning the ball back and quickly passing it into areas where we can attack the opposition should help us create more chances. Since it's a season-long loan, we don't have to rush him until he's ready. I'm sure he'll make a solid impact on this Notts team. We're looking stronger than ever now.

    He seems like a great guy. It made me laugh when he mentioned looking into our gates. Players must be tempted to do that, but more importantly, it shows they understand how they fit in and helps the manager see how to get the most out of them. I think it's a very promising loan. Welcome to Meadow Lane, George Abbott.

    It's reassuring to know that the bids have been turned down. Keeping hold of Dan Crowley and Jodi Jones is very important. Every player has their price, but I remain hopeful that new contracts will be signed. Winning against Swindon Town and maintaining our strong start will boost our confidence. Aiming for promotion shows we are heading in the right direction, and it's crucial for players to enjoy their game, which we provide. Let's concentrate on achieving the results we need rather than worrying about losing players. If we get the results, they are likely to stay.

    Stephen Darby played for Swindon Town on loan in 2010 and came to Notts for a season in 2011.

    Stop complaining and get back to work!

    I don't understand why fans would be bothered about a one-off shirt. If this happened with an English team right now, with the cost of living, I think it would cause a media storm.

    @TheSkipper, that sounds great, mate! Does this mean you won't be sharing who you have met and funny stories about how people react to these celebrities? ???? I had a scan on my leg yesterday, received the results, and need to have another operation at some point to reset it. I likely need to see a specialist, but I am up and about and able to walk. I didn't think I would say I missed work, but I do.

    I am cautious of teams that desperately need a win. Swindon are in that exact situation, and so far, things have gone mostly in our favour. I think the game could unfold similarly to the Fleetwood match. While I hope it's not a draw, I believe they will try to make it difficult for us to play our usual game. Notts will need to be creative and outsmart them, so it will come down to finishing any good chances.

    Jatta is a goalscorer, there's no doubt about it. With the right approach, he will score goals that will help us secure wins. He's a very good player, and I enjoy watching him outskill players who should be more agile than him. For his size, he's a beast on the ball.

    @Robbie, It could be a disaster if machines were used to equip armies and fight. Someone will eventually make it happen, which would force every nation that could afford it to try and do the same. It's a terrible idea that wouldn't improve the world. Peace seems much easier than creating human robots.

    I didn’t know that Lou Macari had attended Meadow Lane. Notts should get a photo of the two of them because it would be good to encourage that connection. I hope Lou enjoyed it, and I bet Lou Macari enjoyed having his grandfather watching.

    Speculation and rumors will link almost all of our players at some point, but I wouldn’t worry. I also don’t believe these fake accounts. As @Robbie and @ARLukomski have mentioned, it’s false news.

    It makes sense to join a fixed tariff. However, if prices were likely to go down, people would be locked in. Unfortunately, prices won’t go down. The UK needs to control energy prices. Martin Lewis is brilliant with his financial advice.
  14. CliftonMagpie
    On paper, and based on current form, I think Notts would be the favorites. However, anyone can beat anyone in League Two on any given day. It’s important for Notts to control the game, be creative, and be defensively solid. Swindon have some tall players who are good at set pieces, but I’m more confident knowing we have the calm Alex Bass in goal. It should be a very technical game where skill will make the difference.
  15. CliftonMagpie
    I voted for the player who I think has been the most consistent. I think all three players who were named deserve it. But I prioritised their impact on the game, their performances, and how they have generally been when playing for Notts.
  16. CliftonMagpie
    Lucas Ness should be a good addition. In time, I hope he proves that he was a good signing. I like that we have sorted out the defense and not settled for what we have. I don't think we need any more defenders or midfielders. I think Sam Slocombe and Aidan Stone are good enough as backups. I just wish we had another option up front. But I welcome Ness to the club.

    I don't eat food at football games. It's either not very good or it's too expensive. I usually eat before the game. At away games, I will get something at a service station. I wouldn't mind Notts upgrading their hot dogs, but I doubt they will. German football seems fairly priced, both to attend and to eat.
  18. CliftonMagpie
    It's not good news. I felt sorry that he felt forced to do interviews while he was unwell. He gave others his time even during his remaining time. Rest in peace, Sven!
  19. CliftonMagpie
    I hope we managed to keep their services, but I believe the club can find replacement players. Selling late in the transfer window wouldn't make sense. So, I hope we can keep them for longer. But every player has a price, and Notts will decide if any offers are good enough.
  20. CliftonMagpie
    I was very sad when I heard he died. Sven-Göran Eriksson had a wonderful season at Notts. He helped bring in good players and lifted the club's profile. I think he woke up a lot of the sleeping fans. Hopefully, most have continued to support the club. This is just a small part of Sven's legacy at Notts.
  21. CliftonMagpie
    Oh dear, at least it’s not a broken leg! That’s no fun, but I can imagine an ACL injury is quite painful. I wouldn’t want to be in Geraldo Bajami’s position. I assume it was the same knee, but without news, who knows? I just hope it doesn’t force him into early retirement.
  22. CliftonMagpie
    Well done to the juniors. I hope they continue and pursue their football careers. It would be great to see more future England women internationals from Nottingham who have played for Notts.
  23. CliftonMagpie
    Matt Smith has been a decent striker at various levels. I thought he played dirty against Notts before, but retirement is a sad time for any player. I hope he finds something to do with his spare time.
  24. CliftonMagpie
    So, we have teams allowing their shirts to clash, and another forgetting to bring them in the first place. What is going on with English football? Can you imagine turning up to a game with injuries, claiming you had no kit, and the officials saying, "Well, let’s postpone it, lads," and then everyone heads off to the nearest pub? What a joke. The 3 points should go to the team ready to play, or they should ask to borrow the other team's away shirt.
  25. CliftonMagpie
    It’s amazing, yes, but also very uncanny, and because of that, I won’t be sleeping well until I get those images from the video out of my mind. I’d like to kick one over, just to see how it gets back up, if it even would. I’m not looking forward to feeling like I need to sleep with a weapon for the day the machines take over.
