  1. 39% so far for Matt Palmer. I am a little surprised by this. Not because he isn't a very good player from what I have seen, but more so for the clear success that Macaulay Langstaff has had. It says a lot about the dynamic midfielder that he has quietly done his best and is reaping the praise from supporters on the Pride of Nottingham.
  2. Macaulay Langstaff is running away with this. I bet even a fortune teller could have made predictions of such praise. Mind you, scoring 42 in a single season is quite handy to know beforehand.
  3. I haven't voted. I wouldn't know where to start and it wouldn't be fair either, but I found this to be very useful. It's brimming with information useful to an exile like me. I encourage anyone who hasn't done so yet to make sure you vote and leave a comment. It's worth it!
  4. Just to mention, I have watched all the goals and therefore I am voting. I believe the free-kick by John Bostock was an excellent strike. It couldn't have been any clearer or better placed. It was so good.
  5. Welcome back, @Canadian. How are things going for you? I hope you've managed to stay up-to-date with Notts.
  6. I think you're right. That's why sites like the Pride of Nottingham do a great job. Jackie Sewell will always be a legend of the game. It was such a sad loss to the footballing world when he passed away.
  7. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @JohnTheBost! We’re glad to have you here and we hope you’ll enjoy the forum. How long have you been supporting Notts County? We’d love to hear more about your experiences as a fan.
  8. With an impressive 42 goals to his name, it’s no wonder I was compelled to vote for Macaulay Langstaff as the signing of the season. He has proven to be a brilliant asset to the club and an absolute steal of a bargain! Was yiur uncle aware of his background before making such a remark? In a professional setting or even on the internet, a comment like that would surely spark a flood of witty retorts! Considering he’s only one tier below our league, I doubt he’ll ever live it down.
  9. It can be challenging to choose between so many helpful members when the quality of posts is consistently high. In the end, I voted for someone who not only shares valuable content but also goes out of their way to welcome new members to the community.
  10. Even though the game wasn’t the most exciting, Boreham Wood earned their victory against Barnet with a final score of 2-1. At times the game was a bit rough around the edges, but Boreham Wood’s emphasis on offense ultimately proved successful.
  11. From Tommy Lawton, Jackie Sewell to Lee Hughes, Notts County has seen its fair share of talented players over the years. Who stands out as the best? What makes him so special to you?
  12. Notts County has a reputation for developing young players who go on to play for higher-profile clubs. Who are some notable players that Notts County has helped nurture, and what qualities do you think the club has that allows it to develop such talent?
  13. It is fantastic news to hear that Adam Chicksen has secured a new contract after an impressive season on the pitch. As a fan of his talent, resilience and dedication over the years, I am beyond thrilled to see that he has been deservedly rewarded for his efforts. Chicksen's contributions to the team have not gone unnoticed and his presence on the pitch has been instrumental in the club's success. With his defensive capabilities and excellent work rate, Chicksen has proven himself to be a valuable asset to the team. His ability to read the game, make crucial tackles and provide accurate deliveries from the left flank has made him a key player in the squad. Additionally, his well-timed runs into the opposition's half always put pressure on the defense and create space for teammates to exploit. His new contract will not only serve as a motivation for him to continue his hard work and push Notts County towards their desired goals, but it will also give fans like myself, an optimistic outlook for the future of the club. I am thrilled for the player, the team and the fans that Adam Chicksen has committed to a new contract. With his skills, experience and dedication, he has now well established himself as a crucial player in the squad, and I am excited to learn about what the future holds for him and the team.
  14. I am eagerly anticipating the forthcoming match between Notts County and York City, and I cannot wait to read the post-match comments. As a devoted fan, winning against York is the main objective, and I hope that the team puts on an impressive performance that captivates the crowd. A strong display can generate a feel-good factor that will carry the team into the playoffs. I have been impressed by the efforts of Luke Williams, and I am confident that he will lead the team to victory. With his leadership, along with the hard work and dedication of the entire squad, I am predicting a strong and positive scoreline in Notts County's favour. A 3-0 win.
  15. It's unfortunate that newspaper comic strips often lack accuracy and thorough research, but it is refreshing to see some actual data being presented about Notts County's fees for picking up other clubs' talent. While it may not be as significant as some of the larger sums seen in the market, it is still noteworthy that Notts County is spending more than other clubs like Stockport, Grimsby, or Barrow. This sheds some light on the financial side of the game and adds an interesting element to the discussion.
  16. Dongda He's pursuit of his profession is truly inspiring! I'm curious if he has any link to China that might explain his choice to work there, either through his birthplace or family ties? Regardless, it's a career path that many people would be excited to follow.
  17. Is it possible that the person in question is Jeff Astle?
  18. People who attend both home and away games invest a lot of time and energy into supporting their team. For me, it has little impact as I can't attend games, but it means having to rely on sources for news. Now that I have retired, I watch plenty of sports. I love basketball, but as a neutral. It's great to have the time to enjoy different sports and follow the teams that I love.
  19. I have considered paying for a season ticket despite living in the US, but I never have because it seems daft and possibly a waste of resources for the club. Instead, I buy merchandise to the tune of twice the amount, just to cover it. After COVID, I even gave some shirts to my neighbors who expressed an interest in UK football. Supporting the club in my own way feels good and I know that my contribution is making a difference.
  20. Next season is something to cherish and look forward to. I hope @Megan_Elizax you make some nice memories and gets to see Notts in another successful season. At the end of it all, maybe even framing the season ticket as a keepsake would be a great way to remember the good times. Here's to another year of football and unforgettable moments!
  21. I have recently changed my mood to satisfied and I must say, it feels great. Taking a step back and reflecting on the positive aspects of life can really make a difference in how we perceive things. It's a good way to react after games or just in general. Being satisfied allows us to appreciate the present moment and enjoy the little things in life. It's important to take time for ourselves and focus on our well-being.
  22. Football can be an expensive sport, but with the success of last season and this current campaign that is near the end, along with the new ownership, it seems like the money is well spent. As fans, let's just enjoy ourselves and support our team! After all, the memories and experiences we gain from watching our team play are priceless.
  23. Winning against Maidstone 5-2 was a great accomplishment. Credit must be given to the opposition for getting back into the match. Jim O'Brien played exceptionally well it seems and it's good to see Cedwyn Scott getting on the score sheet. The confidence must be high! In the next game against York City, any signs of nerves need to be cut out to ensure a strong performance.
  24. The playoffs shouldn't be feared. It all comes down to preparation, mental awareness, and rising to the occasion. Besides, it's an experience that should be enjoyed. Like you were saying to @super_ram, it's a good thing for players to have on their CV, even if it does say runner-up (For Derby but it applies to Notts). The experience of playing at Wembley should help the players step up their game, having been there before.
  25. After carefully eyeing up the stats, it looks like Notts could have won by more. It's interesting to see. Thanks to @Dan and @liampie for sharing the piece. Unfortunately, the title says it all.
