Who is your Man of the Match v Harrogate?
Conor Grant gets my vote. I must admit, my decision is based solely on the radio and the game coverage that I have watched.

Stuart's Home Woes
I imagine there’s a lot more pressure on Stuart Maynard and the lads at home. I don’t think the KOP has been the same this year compared to our first season back in the EFL. I feel that togetherness left when Luke Williams departed and Maynard came in. I don’t think Maynard is doing much wrong and believe he’ll improve given time. It can be frustrating when managers make baffling decisions, but we’re not a million miles away from where we want to be. Our home form is likely due to the pressure of expecting promotion, the dip in form from losing key players, and the constant challenge of avoiding further injuries. I haven’t attended away games, so I can’t comment on the atmosphere this season. However, it felt special when we first came back up, and I feel some areas give half-hearted support. Maybe it’s just football and the sensationalism fading after promotion, but some clubs make match days exciting. It feels as though we’ve settled for a normal experience without much effort. From what I’ve seen, Notts have always looked like a promotion-chasing side. At times they’ve seemed lacking or indecisive, but all teams go through these phases. I hope that if we make the playoffs, fans will make Meadow Lane vibrant and loud with various chants. The quality of chants and player songs seems to have declined, becoming repetitive. As fans, our role is to give full-hearted support. Tactically, Maynard could sometimes make changes to influence games differently. Still, we need to accept that he’s learning. At this level, unless we spend heavily on a manager which affects the playing budget, we won’t find someone perfect in every aspect of their game.

Weekly chat Monday 21st to Sunday 27th April
There’s still plenty of energy in you, Tone, but I will take your advice nonetheless. I hope all is well with you and Mrs Tone. It’s nice to be back. I didn’t mean to sound frustrated or like I was complaining before. Now that I’m back, I’m roaring to go again. Maybe other members will join in eventually. I think topics like this are good for the community. Thank you, @super_ram and @Fan of Big Tone, for the supportive message.

Chicksen returns
I still hope he’s welcome to train and use our facilities to help his comeback. However, I don’t believe we should offer him a one-year deal. Would Woking do it? I doubt it. I wish Adam Chicksen all the best, and I hope his injury doesn’t lead to financial problems. Many players have other sources of income, and hopefully Chicks does too.

Pope Francis.
It’s sad to hear the news. I saw a clip of a young boy interrupting some ceremony or something similar, but Pope Francis didn’t seem to mind. He looked at the boy the way a grandfather might, with warmth and understanding. I hope he finds inner peace and rests easily.

I’ve been getting around more easily lately, but I still need to find somewhere to live as I’m planning to move in with my girlfriend. Today’s been a nice change, feeling more motivated to do things. I hope everyone else on PON is doing well. How’s everyone?

Dark Chocolate Toblerone UK manufacturing being discontinued
Do you like it, @Piethagoram? I’m not a fan of it, or even the regular version. The texture puts me off. I don’t like white or dark chocolate either. Milk chocolate is the only one I enjoy, and even then, it depends a lot on what it’s paired with. I was surprised when Poundland copied it with their Twin Peaks.
