    Dan Crowley seems like the perfect addition to Notts. He fits our system well and has developed in his role, but he’s also a versatile player who can adapt if needed. This gives Luke Williams a lot of flexibility. While it seems best to let him excel in a role he’s mastering, we can mix things up if necessary, and I trust him to perform any role commendably.

    What’s happening with UK football? It appears to be a terrible time to be a team supporter. The better things become for Notts, the worse they get for other clubs. It’s refreshing to see us doing well for once, the Reedtz are exemplary owners, but it’s disheartening to witness the game in such a dreadful state due to poor ownership.

    It doesn’t seem promising, which is why the proposed changes could greatly benefit the game and prevent a lot of distress. It’s unfortunate that their fans have to endure this, and it’s even worse for the former Notts players they’ve recruited.

    Chris Iwelumo is another that fits this connection between both clubs.

    I wholeheartedly wish for the successful acquisition of donations that will ensure the site continues to thrive. I am committed to supporting this cause and I would urge any other fans who come across this message to do the same. PON is not just a website, it’s a robust representation and a preserver of the club’s history. It’s a cause that is truly worth supporting.

    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.

    It wasn’t uncommon for Jimmy to go to a pub after games with some of the players. Several times I said hello and would ask him about his thoughts on Notts. He was a very friendly person, with a very thick Scottish accent which never changed. Yet he had his own way of speaking. Sometimes, I must admit he would speak so fast that I would just nod. You would feel rude in this scenario but just being in his presence felt incredible. On a night out in Notts, I once came across Jimmy with Brian Clough. They were both deep in conversation, so I never bothered them but it was a sight to see them. I feel very privileged to have spoken to Jimmy. Younger fans who would have missed this, go speak to Les Bradd or Don Masson, they will tell you stories which will make you see just how important he is to our club’s history.

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

    This is a wonderful goal, nicely worked! I’m very impressed having seen this.

    Perhaps it’s the manager who needs glasses, after all, he selected the squad and instructed them. It could very well be a case of the blind leading the blind.

    I’m not very familiar with UK politics these days, so I’m not aware of who Ed Davey is. Is he well-liked? I hope he’s not the typical self-serving politician.

    Thank you for sharing the ratings. I perceived Tobi to be largely positive when he came on, although he is a bit weak with heading and did give the ball away needlessly. However, I wouldn’t downgrade him for it. Similarly, I believe Kyle Cameron was perfectly fine.

    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.

    I wouldn’t classify myself as a film enthusiast, but I can appreciate most genres. My favourite actors are Nicholas Cage and Johnny Depp, both of whom are distinct yet excellent character actors. Secret Window is a very interesting film, as is Memento.

    I recall his stints with Notts, but I’m unable to comment on his performance as I didn’t view the matches. I wish the young man all the best in his transition.

    How this has quickly changed from the last posted round, just goes to show what a few good rounds can do.

    @Piethagoram Karl Hawley another 2009/10 League Two winner also played for Colchester.

    The introduction of some reform should significantly help in addressing the issue of overspending. There’s a case to be made for fans declaring their budget and how it’s being allocated. This could instil a sense of realism among fans and a better understanding that a club can’t continually spend money on signings, transfer fees, wages, and agents.
  20. AmericanPie
    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.

    It was heartening to see such an underdog achieve something truly remarkable. While I don’t actively follow their results and believe they will eventually be relegated, I hope they use this experience to build up their club. Despite being a London club, they are much smaller than one might expect.
  22. AmericanPie
    The young player performed well against us. His potential is evident and his skills were impressive. He’s definitely one to watch.
  23. AmericanPie
    Regardless of whether the fans care about the cup or not, this result is simply unacceptable. Conceding that many goals is disgraceful for a professional football club, much like Sheffield United.

    It’s disheartening to see Connell Rawlinson publicly criticising someone for merely expressing their thoughts. Whether he has the right to do so or not, some things are better kept private. However, considering the criticism he likely receives, it’s forgivable. Hopefully, Tom Williams won’t take it personally and will distance himself from any abuse. This would demonstrate that he’s not there to cause trouble but to share his thoughts. From what I’ve seen of his tweets shared here, Tom seems like a bright lad who hasn’t done anything wrong.
