Aaron Nemane put on a top-class performance against Chesterfield at Wembley, proving to be by far the best player on the pitch. His dribbling skills and pace were simply exceptional, leaving the opposition's defence struggling to keep up with him throughout the game. Watching him run at their defence was a joy to behold, and it was clear to see the impact he had on the game. Nemane's ability to take on defenders and break through their lines made him a constant threat and kept the crowd on the edge of their seats. To put it simply, Nemane was class on the day, and his performance was crucial in securing the win in what was a tense game. We look forward to seeing him play in more games and continue to show us what he's capable of.

It's refreshing to read about footballers who remain grounded no matter what level they play at, and Macaulay Langstaff is a perfect example of this. Despite having the talent and potential to play at higher levels, he's committed to Notts right now and that's something to admire. Langstaff seems to remember his roots and has a strong work ethic, traits that are crucial for success in any field. If he continues to work hard, there's no reason why he can't play higher up. It's great to see young footballers like Langstaff setting an example for others, proving that humility and persistence can take you a long way in life.

Jodi Jones is an intelligent footballer who seems to be very switched on whenever he's on the pitch. I had the pleasure of watching him play in the playoff final on TV, and he was nothing short of a game-changer. He's very confident in his ability and natural on the ball, traits that make him stand out from other attackers. Jones has a habit of taking on defenders and making things happen, and his ability to create chances out of nothing is a testament to his footballing intelligence. When he gets going, he's very exciting to watch and has a knack for lighting up the pitch. It's clear to see why he's rated as one of the brightest talents in the game today. Jones has a bright future ahead of him, and I'm looking forward to seeing him continue to shine in the years to come.

It's not often that you come across a midfielder who can make a real difference on the pitch, but Matt Palmer is one such player. He has all the attributes of a top-quality midfielder - focused, determined, and a leader on the ball. Palmer seems to be the difference between winning and losing, and his contribution is often what sets his team apart. His technical skills are matched by his tactical awareness, and he's equally adept at defense as he is in attacking. It's no wonder that Palmer is the type of midfielder every club wants in their squad. It will be interesting to see how his career progresses over the years, but there's no doubt that he has the potential to go on to achieve great things in football.

Johnny Forte was always a favourite among fans for his uncanny ability to score goals. It was a surprise to many when Kevin Nolan made the mistake of not giving him more playing time. Forte's performances on the pitch were always top-notch and it's a shame the reason for his lack of appearances was never made public. Some speculate that there may have been behind-the-scenes disagreements or other factors at play, but we may never know for sure. Regardless, Notts County could have definitely benefited from Forte's inclusion in the team and it's a missed opportunity that may haunt the club for some time to come.

I am still excited from Notts County's incredible promotion to the EFL after that dramatic penalty shootout win over Chesterfield. What a day that was! I'm so proud of our team and our fans for never giving up and showing so much passion and spirit. I wanted to share with you how I celebrated this historic moment for our club. I watched the game at home, I had a few people over and shown them what a non superbowl event was like. We had a great time singing and chanting as the game unfolded. The atmosphere was electric and we were all nervous but excited. When the final whistle blew and we had done it, I couldn't believe it. I hugged my friends and neighbours alike, tears in my eyes. We admired the celebrations on the screen from Wembley stadium for a long time, cheering and clapping for our heroes. Then we went to a bar nearby and had a few drinks and more songs. It was one of the best days of my life whilst living away from the UK. How about you? How did you celebrate Notts County's promotion to the EFL? Did you go to Wembley or watch it on TV? Did you have a party or a quiet night in? Did you cry or scream or both? Share your stories and photos here and let's relive this amazing achievement together! COYP!

Notts County has had its fair share of unsung heroes both on and off the pitch. From the players to the staff, there are many individuals who have contributed to the success of the club. One player who has been praised as an unsung hero is Connell Rawlinson. The defender has been excellent alongside Aden Baldwin and has made crucial challenges to assist the club in it's bid for promotion. Off the pitch, Notts County has a dedicated team of staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes. From Head Coach Luke Williams to Assistant Head Coach, Ryan Harley, Kit and Equipment Manager Lewis Saleem, each member of the staff plays an important role in the success of the club. Who do you think is an unsung hero at Notts County? Both player and staff wise?

@ARLukomski I hope you understand how important your vlogs are to fans like myself. Since becoming a member of the Pride of Nottingham, I eagerly anticipate each new video. Despite being unwell lately, your videos have been a beacon of light and my only window into what regulars can see. Your hard work is both noticed and appreciated. Thank you for all your efforts, particularly this season. I am grateful to be able to relive the Wembley experience through your perspective and analysis.

The owners of our club are fantastic. I hope they have the capability to continue bringing success to Notts. It would be gratifying if this journey was just the start and by the end of it we might possibly be a Championship outfit.

The gallery is impressive. It was fascinating to see the Faces of PON.

I watched the playoff final on an American sports channel that picks up BT Sport’s games in the US. Honestly, I didn’t think Notts would beat Chesterfield who pressed for every ball in the first half. When Notts came into it they looked better but Chesterfield always looked dangerous until it came to taking the pens.

Do you see what I mean about Notts always performing best as the underdogs? Boreham Wood made it difficult in the first half but teams can't maintain that level of pressure for 90 minutes. Their mistake was relaxing at half time and not picking up where they left off. It switched them from being the underdogs to Notts because Boreham Wood failed to kill the game completely. It made it more lively. I strongly feel that Luke Williams would have told his side that the game is still winnable in his half time team talk. That early strike by Aden Baldwin turned the game on its head. Pulling level, when Notts' quality increased and Boreham Wood became more focused on defending, meant that Notts had to knock on their door relentlessly. Boreham Wood should have kicked out their antics and pushed for their third after our first. They could have made a real fans of it, but credit to Notts they turned on the class and they choked. The old saying that it's a game of two halves is true. Well done to Luke Williams and the players, they pulled it off and it was great to see the fans flood the pitch after that anxious first half.

I'm sorry to start this off in such a way, but I always feel as if Notts do better when they're considered the underdogs. Notts won't be; Boreham Wood are. It's a blessing that it's at home, but just remember that smart teams can sense when fans want blood and hearing comments directed at players for either a simple mistake or whatever is enough to make any opposition team play on it. Notts fans need to do their best to stay positive no matter what. This isn't a roll of the dice but a gamble which is unfair to a squad that has finished 2nd, scored over 100 goals and earned more than 100 points. Remember, nerves can hit anyone no matter what their profession. Stick together and be the 12th person on the pitch. With all this said, I feel my nerves slightly relaxing, but I don't stop feeling like my heart is in my mouth until the game is over. Notts has some very, very classy players at this level and depth that any team could inly dream of having right now in these circumstances. They will do us proud, no matter what.

Welcome to the site. You won't run out of discussions to add your thoughts to and there's a lot of very good content. I do hope that you will join in from time to time @nottsfan81. You don't have to be prolific at posting, but a team player is always nice. It's great to be welcoming you to PON.

There's no doubt that within Macaulay Langstaff's first season at Meadow Lane, he's rewritten history and etched his name into folklore. For the sake of wanting to keep him a little longer, I would say he's had a fairytale season, but it could become legendary! Provided he signs a brand new 10-year deal and sells any movie rights to his life to me. I'll act as his Hollywood agent.

I hope that come the ceremony, everyone turns up in their most stylish jet black suit. I'll be disappointed if it's anything less!

Superb feature, one which has clearly sparked a healthy response from the fans. It's like me stepping into a goldmine. So many excellent comments off the back of your well thought out and very enjoyable read @Simon Clark. Thanks for contributing it to the Pride of Nottingham.

There are many connections between Notts County and Sheffield Wednesday, with most of our former players making their way to your club. Paul Heffernan is one straight off the top of my head. Well, at least beside Jackie Sewell. Thanks for wishing us luck. I think being over in the US, I will need the positive thoughts as I might not be able to sleep come closer to the game.

A friendly hello, @Kellyand the @Prodigal Red. I hope you both join in and shard your thoughts with us.

This is very interesting! It seemed like a two-person contest based on when I last read the replies, but from out of nowhere @DangerousSausage is mounting a late surge. It could be a photo finish depending on when the voting ends!
