    Every club should be able to nominate 3 vloggers that are under their licence. They should be made to wait to release their footage after the official highlights have been aired and worked with, not against. @ARLukomski makes me feel closer to matches, just like PON makes me feel a part of the community and connected with what matters. I get what the EFL are doing, but by targeting fans in this manner they are removing what helps them to be more approachable. Good vloggers serve the club. Yes, there are some right idiots blogging, but the EFL/Clubs should embrace and support.

    @Piethagoram I am sorry to hear about your sister. You don't have to provide us with any updates on how she's doing, but I for one hope she pulls through this okay. I am concerned for you too, I hope you are coping as well as you can. How are you? @Fan of Big Tone I hope you and Mrs. Tone had a nice time in Whitby. The pictures certainly make it look quite brisk, but still inviting! @cheeky~k8 those are brilliant cards. I like that you take the time to hand-make your Christmas cards, that's a gift! This past weekend, I haven't done much, if anything at all. I am still recovering from my operation, which was successful. I didn't want to mention this before, but that is why I haven't been as active. I still get tired, but it's nice to not feel so short of breath. Plus, I can get around using my own two feet. I plan to spend Christmas away with my neighbors; they have become more like family.

    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.

    I completely agree with Luke Williams' call for more respect towards Dan Crowley and the team. It's so important for us as fans to remember that our club is made up of people, not just names on a sheet or faces on the pitch. Criticism can be helpful when it's constructive, but all too often it tips over into personal attacks and negativity. Dan Crowley has done some amazing things for Notts County already, and he deserve our gratitude and respect.

    At the end of the day, we all make our own choices and have to live with the consequences. It's a right old shame about Romello Nangle, though. He was a cracking young player, and always gave his all on the pitch. But, as they say, 'you reap what you sow'. If he's made mistakes, then he's got to pay the price. Still, I reckon he'll come out of this a stronger person. He's young enough to turn his life around and make something of himself yet. Let's just hope he takes this opportunity to reflect on his actions and sorts himself out.

    It’s embarrassing but I feel for their players, it’s tough for smaller nations to play against the likes of France etc. 14-0 sounds like something you’d see in a practice match.

    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.

    This is terrible, but at the same time when you cry during your sentencing and then you’re caught posing with smiles, it makes it harder to sympathise with. Yes, what she did wasn’t worth going to jail but the behaviour makes you wonder if it was more for the attention it got, rather than the awareness she spread with her anti-war messages.
  14. AmericanPie
    Yes, Ian McParland tells it like it is and isn’t scared to speak up. Sometimes you might disagree with his view, very rarely would you feel he’s out of line and most of the time I would agree with him. I think I’m one of the few who thought Charlie was a good manager and could have done a lot more for us.

    The bar looks brilliant, there’s a real trend with turning containers into homes and other useful things. I’ve heard that the Navi has a container where their car park used to be, right near the main gates. This should compete with that, hopefully the owners start to secure land around the ground. It’s always handy to plan ahead, plenty of projects like this could bring in revenue, much like the peddling centre.

    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.

    He appears to be a player who’s made the most of his playing time, I’d like to see him more in the league. It seems that Richard Brindley and Connell Rawlinson are ahead of him, but that said, I believe young talent is worth investing in. Now that fans have seen what Lewis Macari can do, I reckon he’d be a great addition to the squad and a future star who should settle in nicely within a season or two.

    I’ve not been on PON for a bit, but I’m chuffed to see the member of the month initiative back. I reckon it’s good for a community like this, some might feel overlooked but it gives folks something to aim for when posting. Everyone seems really nice here.

    I don’t recall him, there are many signings that slipped under my radar, but it seems like he’s performing well. Scoring 11 goals as a defender is nothing to sneeze at.

    Ipswich scored a real stunner here, what a goal that is, and the build-up is nice.

    I’ll be making sure to watch this match via the iFollow stream. I noticed from Luke Williams’ press conference that Notts have already sold out their allocation, which is quite impressive!

    Paul Mace is doing a good job covering Notts in his books, I am sure this will be a great read. It's something I do plan to pick up.
  24. AmericanPie
    Freddie Sears is only 31, right? That’s not old for a player of his calibre. I’m not very familiar with his injury history, but if that can be managed, he should be one of the top players in the National League.

    Luke Williams has done an exceptional job at Notts. It demonstrates that when a club is run properly and a manager is supported, they can achieve great things in the right environment. His time at Swindon would have provided him with valuable insights and a good start to his learning journey, but there’s no doubt that we are giving him a comprehensive education in how to succeed with the right resources at his disposal.
