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..

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.

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.

Every successful team needs a player who can be a leader without the armband. He’s such a good guy and works hard to maintain his place. He offers much more than just experience, which I think was shown towards the end of the season. His composure and ability to help influence the game make him a key squad member. I love watching him do his turns; how other players don’t catch onto it, I don’t know. But at 35 years of age, he has shown he can still feature as and when we need him. I am pleased he’s agreed to this new deal.

Good luck to him against Oxford. I think the step up might end up disappointing Ruben. I hope for his sake he’s made the right decision to join them. I thought he might have left for Derby or gone back to the Dutch leagues.

I wish Ruben all the best. I think after his night out with the lads, it seemed like a final goodbye because he just went for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s still not hungover.

He sure knows how to have a good time and let his hair down. He drank some strong alcohol too. No wonder he was extremely drunk. Ha ha ha!!

It’s a shame to see such a good player go, but Notts can find a replacement. I think we have found one in David McGoldrick, although he may not be a long-term solution. I am happy, yet still sad to see Ruben leave. I would like to thank him for his contributions, laughter and amazing skills which brought delight to us Notts fans. I wish him well at Oxford United.

I am pleased with the current situation, and I am leaning towards the belief that everything will end successfully. Based on my observations, I believe that our latest member will play a similar role to Ruben Rodrigues, but he may also be able to play as a striker. We currently have four skilled strikers, and Macaulay Langstaff will be our primary point of focus.

I would be delighted if some quick, skillful midfielders and defenders joined our team. Alternatively, if we intend to add more depth, we could have some of our young players fill the remaining positions. I am thrilled that David McGoldrick is joining us as we push to return to League One.

I am still undecided about this. I think he could do wonders for us, but the main issue is how he will fit into the team. I hope he proves to me that it was a good decision to bring him back and that we manage to keep Macca for the full season.

It must be hard for the players to respond to setbacks but good players do manage to find their way. Restarting his career again at Notts showed how much of a waste Oxford were to not make the most out of his services. I agree with @Chris that he’s a promotion hero. So glad he signed for us!

Jodi Jones is a fantastic player and I’m glad he’s on our side now. He has a lot of potential and I’m excited to see what he can do. His dribbling skills are exceptional and he has the ability to beat defenders with ease. He has already shown glimpses of his talent this season and I think he will only get better as he settles into the team.

This is great news for Jodi! He’s been a key player for us this season and deserves this opportunity. He has scored many goals and assisted his teammates with his creativity and vision. He has also shown great leadership and work ethic on and off the pitch. I’m delighted that he has been called up to the Malta national team and I hope he enjoys this experience.

A detailed list of players from all walks of life in the Football League, gaffer! I wish Notts could sign Zac Williams - he’s going to be a big player in the Championship or even Premier League one day. Adam Senior and Tom James would be useful additions. I think the club will surprise people with lesser-known signings though. They have a lot of information at their disposal that we fans simply do not!

Congratulations and good luck to Tiernan Brooks as he represents Ireland U21 in their friendlies in Austria!

The description of Tony Hateley’s return to Meadow Lane gave me goosebumps. What an unforgettable moment that must have been for all the fans in attendance. To see their hero return to the club and lead them to success must have been an incredible experience.

I believe Notts will do well because of the strength and unity of their squad. Luke Williams deserves recognition for his contributions to the team. I’d also like to thank Simon Clark for writing about this topic. It’s always inspiring to see teams bounce back after losing in the previous year’s final. It demonstrates their resilience and determination to come back even stronger and achieve success.

Langstaff has truly been a phenomenal hero this season. He has scored some truly remarkable goals and has provided endless entertainment for all those watching. His performances have been nothing short of spectacular.

Super Sam in middle of our goal! Happy to see him stay, he's a fantastic keeper and has a wealth of experience.

Rawlinson is a class act, both as a player and as a person. He’s always been loyal and dedicated to Notts and he deserves this reward. He’s been a key part of our success and I’m sure he’ll continue to be. He’s got the experience and the mentality to help us challenge for the title next season.

This is brill news, isn't it? His know-how and spirit are spot on for moving things ahead. Well chuffed he's got a 2-year deal. Great news!

I’m happy for you and your family, Adam. You’ve faced challenges but have shown strength and courage. Macaulay is lucky to have such caring parents and siblings. I hope he grows up to love Notts County as much as you do.

This is a fantastic signing for Notts County. Jodi Jones is one of the best players in the league and he’ll only get better with more experience and confidence. He’s got pace, skill, vision and a great attitude. He’s a joy to watch and I can’t wait to see him in action again. 

This is signs of a top, top player. Langstaff’s performance is nothing short of amazing. He has consistently delivered outstanding performances on the field, showing incredible skill and precision. His talent and dedication are truly admirable, and he has proven himself to be a top-tier player.
