I believe we need to recognise how much progress we’ve made and strive to stay grounded after disappointing outcomes. Defensive mistakes can be trained out of a team’s performance, as can the team’s style of play. Losing 4-2 to Wimbledon is a letdown, but we shouldn’t let it make us feel defeated. It’s just one match, and I’m confident that Luke Williams will be able to turn things around. If we can strengthen our squad further in January, we might see even more improvement. A skilled defender could make a significant difference. Not that our defenders are poor, but someone who is more alert, focused, and driven could be a game-changer.

I didn’t have the chance to see Ben Davies play in person, but I do recall his time with us and how he often emerged as a goal scorer. The 09/10 season was a delight to follow through the highlights, and I wish I had been able to attend some of the matches that season. Reading this article is fantastic, especially the comments, as they reveal how much Ben meant to Notts.

Notts needs to start shifting into fourth or fifth gear now, if they want to be in the running for the top 3 spots. Stockport County are starting to pull ahead and create a healthy gap. I don’t want to see Mansfield finish above us, we need to keep the pressure on them and a win against Wimbledon would be just the ticket. Wrexham are also starting to show they can finish in the top three, so we need to work hard in away games to make sure the club picks up as many points as possible on the road.

The fans forum was really productive, the bit where Luke Williams explains the short corners is hilarious! I don’t reckon fans need to keep questioning our managers, it was the same with Ian Burchnall. The game’s changed and I think Williams has shown a level of understanding that makes it daft to question his decision to play short corners at every chance. I’m chuffed fans enjoyed it and feel closer to the club, that’s really important.

Dan Crowley is a really exciting player to watch, he seems to have a lot of tricks up his sleeve and the way he turns around and then goes back to where he was previously facing is such a clever way to confuse the opposition player. Seeing players enjoying their football, it makes everything that much better. Finally, Notts County have a squad that fights for the fans, owners who care about the future, rather than the short term and staff who understand how unity makes a big impact.

Very handy to read all this, I’ve not had the chance to watch the fans forum video but going through this it seems like it was very informative and useful, with lots to look forward to. It’s nice to see the club buzzing, but also with owners who understand how smart investments work. Investments that aren’t a gimmick like naming tea bars after yourself.

I can’t stand for long these days, so I’m not bothered and the chances of me getting to Meadow Lane are slim. But when I do finally get back to Nottingham, I’ll choose to sit. However, I do hope that safe standing makes a comeback. There’s no problem with it when done right and fans can choose if they want to stand with others.

Their manager will undoubtedly be feeling the pressure. I find @Chris’s comments interesting, but I don’t usually pay much attention to the opposition as they can often resemble politicians, moulded by their own agendas and beliefs rather than being honest and humble. Notts played very well, even though I felt like Forest Green could go on and cause an upset. I think that second goal for them woke Notts up, thankfully we turned our performance back on. Finishing the game 4-3 is just a reminder that some teams won’t just lay down because we are leading a game.

Fair play to Neil Warnock, he seemed to enjoy the chant and that reaction is priceless. I wish him much happiness in his retirement.

I’m not sure how this escaped my notice, @Piethagoram, but that’s quite an impressive list. I believe there’s a portion I’ve never seen, so I’ll use this as a guide for future viewing.

Our away form has seen steady improvement since the earlier games. However, Colchester may prove to be a challenging team for Notts to score against. I envision the game ending in a 1-1 draw, not due to a lack of good play or opportunities created by Notts, but because Colchester performed well on their home ground.

The young player performed well against us. His potential is evident and his skills were impressive. He’s definitely one to watch.

Hello, @Morten Johansen. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. I hope to see you join in whenever you can. See you across the pond!

The game was incredibly exciting. There was a moment when I thought Forest Green might take the lead. Notts seemed to retreat after the second half began, but they came back fighting for the win when the score was 2-2. It was truly entertaining.

Luke Williams will undoubtedly demand better, but I believe he will be pleased with the win. I’m sure he enjoyed the game as much as anyone else - how could he not? He simply wants to see improvement at times. There’s not much that could have been done about two of the goals as they were well executed. However, we need to be more careful about conceding penalties.

A victory is a victory, no matter how it comes. It’s crucial not to underestimate the importance of showing the quality and character needed to win a game, especially when the opposition has managed to claw their way back into it. Scoring two more goals after such a setback demonstrates real quality.

The level of support shown during games has been truly impressive. I’ve been following the matches on iFollow and it’s clear that the Notts fans are giving their all. Their dedication and connection to the club is something that needs to be nurtured and supported. An increase in the fanbase could be a positive development, especially if we manage to maintain an average performance. There’s no doubt that it’s a fantastic time to be a fan.

I extend my best wishes to Ian Burchnall as he embarks on his journey. Taking on a coaching role in the Premier League can be inherently more precarious compared to a managerial position in the Football League. The turnover of coaches in the top league can happen swiftly and unexpectedly. If I were in his position, I might have considered seeking an opportunity with a League One or Two club, with the hope of gradually progressing towards a managerial role.

All games, in my opinion, hold significant value as they provide me with valuable insights. I express my gratitude to everyone who has engaged in playing games alongside me. This information is crucial for someone like me who is living away from their home country. Therefore, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you.

While the statement that Luke Williams despises cup games may not come across as particularly well-articulated, it does give off a somewhat immature impression. However, it is worth pondering what has become of the individuals who expressed their dissatisfaction with the EFL Trophy owing to the participation of Premier League U21 teams, or their belief that it is merely a tinpot cup.

It's set to be yet another challenging match. Although we're aiming for a victory, securing a point for continued enhancements shouldn't be overlooked. I'm not particularly well-acquainted with the Salford squad, but I remain hopeful that our team's quality will help us navigate through any potential challenges. In terms of player selection, fielding our strongest team will be crucial. With Jodi Jones returning to the fold, Notts should be fully prepared to face the match ahead.

It's frustrating to see teams like Accrington Stanley come into matches solely focused on playing defensively and securing a point. While they may have delivered a tidy performance, it's clear that they lacked attacking intent and didn't trouble our team much aside from the set piece they scored from. It's disheartening to see missed chances and shots straight at our goalkeeper without no real test. On the other hand, I'm proud of our team for playing with spirit and quality. Refereeing decisions can have a significant impact on the outcome of matches, and it's disappointing when the performance of the referee falls short. Inconsistencies and poor decision-making can mark the overall quality of the game. However, Notts did well and It was a superb win.

I hope it will be a good match between two teams eager to earn those crucial 3 points. I will be streaming the game with my iFollow season ticket. I may not be as close to the action as some of you, but I will be cheering Notts on. Notts have a good chance of moving up in the League Two table. I believe that prospect is enough to see the season start to flourish towards the hopes we all had of having another promotion season. The league is quite competitive, and I am sure Tranmere Rovers will want to spoil our party, but I have confidence that defensively we will be better than what I watched from the Grimsby game. It would be nice to see Macaulay Langstaff get his name on the score sheet. I can see the game finishing 3-1 in favour of Notts, but I am unsure who to predict as the scorers.

I like Richard Brindley. When he first joined, he looked like a superb right-back, more for his attacking play, but it did seem like a position that suited him. In the games I have seen this season, I believe he has given his all, and it’s been a sort of revelation to see him play as the middle centre-back in a pairing of 3. He has shone, and that bit of freedom he gets in games may give him the confidence to further improve. His form in this area could help Notts defensively, as it does seem to suit him.

The Tranmere game is a good opportunity for Notts to get into a position in League Two, where performances and results will make the most impact. I will be watching the game from across the pond, hoping for 3 points.
