    All Notts can do is go out and win. If Wrexham wins the title, then so be it. For that reason, I hope nobody is focusing too much on that result.

    To expand on my previous comment, I would be approximately 4,823 miles away from Meadow Lane. With an ocean separating us, it makes it quite challenging to get there. However, I did manage to take a flight a few seasons ago. It's probably been about 5 or 6 seasons now.

    I'm curious to know - what's the furthest you've lived away from Meadow Lane? Where have you lived up until now and how does the place you live compare to where you grew up? I thought it would be interesting to share experiences and let's see how far and wide the Notts fanbase has spread!

    It sounds like the Wrexham defeat played heavily on the players' minds and caused a bit of a setback in play. Usually, I think a goalless first half isn't anything to be disheartened by. You have two teams in close contention with each other, one of which is desperately trying to secure third place. It sounds as if the win became a lot easier after the first goal went in. It sounds like a good win to me!

    Oh, this just sounds like something that people in science speculated on as a joke to see if anyone would buy into it. It has that conspiracy theory feeling, just like the idea that the Earth is flat, the Moon is occupied by aliens, and the Earth is hollow.

    As I haven’t been in the best of health and have therefore been unable to give much thought to Notts, this is by far the most useful thing I have read. It’s pretty much a catch-up for exiles like me.

    From what I saw in the highlights, Notts County's defense looked disconnected and made very poor mistakes that led to all three goals for Wrexham. It didn't seem like Wrexham was a better team, they just handled the occasion better. The most disappointing thing from my perspective is that Notts County threw away a perfectly good lead due to mistakes that could have been avoided. Notts scored two good goals, but Wrexham made them work hard for those goals. Wrexham made the mistake of handling the ball near the end, but they didn't get punished for it. However, Notts County's poor defending only punished themselves.

    Was that not Michael Petrasso? As far as I remember, Zeli Ismail scored a couple of penalties, but I don't think he ever played exceptionally well beyond the level he was expected to perform at.

    It's not really a matter of the other team being better, it's more about how they handled the situation and made the most of the support from their home crowd. I watched the highlights and all of the other team's goals made it seem like Notts County couldn't defend well. For example, the first goal was confusing because our player fell down too easily. On the second goal, nobody was guarding the far post and the goalkeeper had no chance when they were left wide open like that. The same player who fell down easily for the first goal also made a mistake for the third goal. Their poor defending was really apparent.

    It would have been great if the club had stayed in the top position, but the fact that they managed to close the gap and even briefly take the top spot, despite the odds being against them, is still a success in its own way.
  11. AmericanPie
    It looks like Luke Williams has found a good way to handle fixture changes by not letting them become a distraction. This allows the club to focus on what really matters, rather than getting caught up in a debate that doesn't affect the season.

    I have seen pictures of Meadow Lane, it was nice to see the stands brimming with fans.

    It's encouraging to hear positive news about the injury front. Hopefully, whoever starts in goal will be fully fit and ready to perform. If the regular number 1 is carrying a knock, it may be wise to rest him unless he is capable of fulfilling his role to the best of his ability. It's important to prioritise player health and well-being, especially if it means avoiding further complications or prolonging the injury. Ultimately, the team's success is dependent on the collective effort of all players, and ensuring they are in optimal condition should be a top priority.

    The club looks able to move forward, I am hoping this seasons doesn't go to waste but I would agree the club is in better hands now. Moving forward and growing in confidence here on should be easier than at the start of the campaign.

    Very enjoyable and good insight in to German food, one of these days I will have to take a holiday there.
  16. AmericanPie
    Very good insight into that period of the clubs history and of course the managers short stay at Meadow Lane. Where was Notts at the time he ended up getting the axe?
  17. AmericanPie
    Very amusing blog, several times I laughed out loud and I can’t believe I didn’t notice this sooner. Is the food good at German grounds? I imagine the beers fantastic.
  18. AmericanPie
    Superb pictures!

    @ARLukomski You may not read this, but I can safely say I will miss your coverage of the games with these videos.

    Superb article, Kyle Wootton is a force to be reckoned with and a player we have to enjoy whilst he’s here. He seems to fit well in Ardley’s tactics, I think that’s why he plays so much.
  21. AmericanPie
    Aldershot seems like a bigger result now that the leagues been suspended, if it resumes it could be here that decides between playoffs or automatic. I know, it’s a long way off.
  22. AmericanPie
    The wins just keep coming, winning 4-0 is a good achievement and a sign of the squad growing stronger together. I am looking forward to the highlights.
  23. AmericanPie
    There’s little to no panic over here so far, barely made the news. More mentions about Donald Trump visiting x, y or z.
  24. AmericanPie
    Good win, I know I’m m late to the game in terms of replies but inbox surprised you all didn’t hear much cheering to this result!
  25. AmericanPie
    I'll be listening to the coverage online via the PiesPlayer, I think Notts might be the team setup to be defensive. I can see them attacking from the word go, they might not be able to break us down easily but I think a side like them will have done their home work.
