  1. Jonathan Forte had an incredible ability to find the back of the net. He was a natural goal scorer with a keen eye for finding the perfect shot. His talent for scoring goals was matched only by his passion for the game, and he always gave his all for the team. Forte’s time at Notts County was filled with plenty of good memories, as he consistently delivered top-notch performances on the pitch. He was a true asset to the team and his contributions will never be forgotten.

  2. I suspect that the reason he features more after coming on as a substitute is to discourage other clubs from wanting to sign him. However, I imagine there is still a lot of interest in his services. He would be an excellent signing for any League One or Two team. I don’t understand why Oxford can’t make use of him - it’s their loss and hopefully our gain. His performance against Boreham Wood will have significantly increased the appeal of signing him.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. After John Bostock's stunning goal put us ahead, I had high hopes for the second half. Unfortunately, defensive errors proved costly and we were unable to hold onto the lead. However, credit must be given to Wrexham for their improved performance. While their physicality and tendency to dive can be frustrating, they played much better than in their previous highlights or at Meadow Lane. It's disappointing to come away with a loss, but hopefully we can learn from our mistakes and improve in the next match.

  6. I thought all the players did well against Wealdstone. It was a very efficient team performance, and it was clear from the moment the game kicked off that everybody in the Notts camp had one goal, and that was to win.

    The players were organised, and their performance was characterized by a high level of intensity and focus. They worked together as a team, defending and attacking as a unit, which made it difficult for Wealdstone to gain a foothold in the game.

    It was not only the starting eleven who contributed to the win, but the substitutions also made a significant impact. The whole squad was determined to get the job done, and it showed in their play.
