  1. Cedwyn Scott has shown real courage by speaking openly about his struggles, especially in a sport like football where mental health hasn’t always been prioritised. Stuart Maynard’s comments about supporting him, both on and off the pitch, show just how much the club cares for its players. Footballers are often seen as invincible, but they’re human too. It’s heartening to see Notts stepping up for Cedwyn during such a difficult time. I wish him all the best in his recovery and hope we see him back doing what he loves soon, but only when he’s ready.
  2. The atmosphere at Meadow Lane can be electric. With a full house, the support could make a real difference. Stuart Maynard’s tactical choices will be interesting, especially with returning players. Let's make the Lane a fortress!
  3. Reading Steven's memories took me back to some iconic matches. Football is all about these cherished moments, isn't it? Let's hope Notts creates some unforgettable memories for us on the pitch this Saturday.
  4. Kellan Gordon has the chance to further impress. Given that we do have other options, he will need to ensure that he continues his current fine form. I do agree that he has a good technique when it comes to crossing, but his work rate impresses me. I am pleased he believes Notts can push on. That attitude is important, along with the work ethic.
  5. It’s great to hear Maynard emphasising squad depth and tactical flexibility. The injuries to McGoldrick and Grant are worrying, but it sounds like we’ve got a solid plan in place to manage them. Bass’s performances have been a real highlight so far, and it’s refreshing to see a keeper who not only commands his box but also contributes with his kicking. Maynard’s approach of not always playing from the back makes sense, sometimes you’ve just got to mix it up and keep the opposition guessing. Looking forward to seeing how we line up against Port Vale, especially after the Carlisle win!
  6. Alex Bass really showed his quality last night. That late save to preserve the clean sheet was top class, and his handling of crosses throughout the match was excellent. He commands his area with confidence, and that relieves so much pressure on the defence. Carlisle had some dangerous moments, especially late on, and without Bass in goal, things could have turned out differently. He’s been consistently solid this season, but last night’s performance really stood out for me. Definitely Man of the Match material!
  7. I am pleased that both players got acknowledged in the team of the week. It’s nice to see Notts players getting in, and the selection bodes well for the club amidst its signs of progress.
  8. I don’t see the sense in the decision, but with him now moving closer to home, he will need to hope the move pays off. It’s not good to see because he had every chance of turning things around at MK Dons, but he’s up and left. Not much respect for a manager who does that so early in the season.
  9. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he doesn’t get distracted whilst out injured. We need him coming back match-sharp and able to impress upon his return. I am sure he will continue to be quality.
  10. Alex Kirk looked half decent. I thought he stood out, but the rest seemed rather average, to be honest. I wasn’t all that impressed with the lad from Derby. I don’t remember his name, but he’s not mentioned in the list.
  11. It’s a bit of a farce, and I am sick of seeing complaints about the number of tickets given. Chesterfield probably knew this would happen. Teams have no interest in allowing large numbers of travelling fans to attend when the numbers become significant. 999 tickets sold, let’s get on with it and make it count.
  12. Our attacking threats from set pieces have been a key strength this season. The way the team has worked on different attacking strategies is commendable. It’s not just one player carrying the team; we have multiple players stepping up and making crucial contributions. I feel confident going into the Gillingham match. They’ve had a solid start, but if we play to our strengths, there's no reason we can’t get a positive result. It’s great to see Meadow Lane turning into a fortress again!
  13. It finished 2-0, credit to Accrington's defence and the outstanding performance by their keeper. Some of his saves were top class, which kept them in the game to some extent. Notts had plenty of time to choose where to attack, and at times it was a real joy to watch. It was 90 minutes of good football with many positives. I hope Alex Bass can start getting the clean sheets he’s aiming for.
  14. It's hard to pick just one player for the good start we've had, as everyone in defence has worked hard. Jacob Bedeau has impressed, but he's among many talented players brought in this summer. I hope he, Matty Platt, and Lewis Macari build a strong understanding, but I also know it's important for him and the others to feel settled.
  15. I hope the loan turns out to be useful. It’s hard to see where he’ll get regular game time, as cover is what Notts needed most. I hope he’s ready to fight for the team and his career, rather than wasting the opportunity.
  16. I wouldn't compare him to Ryan Yates, but his importance to our team could be similar. His ability to go for the ball and get stuck in was key to stopping Accrington.
  17. Welcome to Pride of Nottingham @Emma Duffield! A great place for Notts County fans. Glad to have you with us!
  18. Welcome to Pride of Nottingham @Alan Carnell! A great place for Notts County fans. Glad to have you with us!
  19. Well done, Jodi Jones! His exceptional attitude and determination are truly something special. Oxford made a mistake in letting him go, as proven by all the awards and recognition he has earned since. I am so pleased for him.
  20. I've heard it before, but it's not something I usually think about. It's an interesting fact. I wonder how much of the game Motts helped to create?
  21. I wonder who has had the most? It's interesting to know, something I hadn't considered before.
  22. Jodi Jones gets my seal of approval. I think he has been great so far and among some very worthy candidates. I think Jones deserves my support, even though it seems that Dan Crowley is winning.
  23. Rest in peace, Sven. I know it was expected, and I don't mean to talk out of turn. But it's still very sad news.
  24. I don't believe Twitter accounts as much as I believe the press. I only believe Notts when things are confirmed. I don't believe Cedwyn Scott would leave or be currently wanted.
  25. Curtis Edwards' shift to a more advanced position truly highlighted his versatility and adaptability. The change, implemented by Stuart Maynard, showcased Edwards' ability to step out of his comfort zone and deliver a commanding performance. His seamless transition is a testament to both his skill level and the support from his teammates. What impressed me most is Edwards' humility despite his stellar performance. Not everyone can recover so well after a tough cup match. His reflections on the team’s dynamics and his ambitions for the future clearly demonstrate his commitment to both personal and team success. With such dedication and talent, Edwards is poised to become indispensable for Notts.
