  1. Welcome to the site and group of Notts County faithful, here on PON @Bee.
  2. It’s truly heart warming to see your children expressing their love and appreciation for you by writing this note. This simple yet meaningful gesture is a beautiful way for them to show their feelings and will undoubtedly be cherished by you. It’s moments like these that create lasting memories and strengthen the bond between a parent and child.
  3. I believe I am sitting in the natural fan zone, which I think is the green area.
  4. Regardless of the outcome, this season has been a fantastic journey and one that I’m confident we can build upon. I believe both teams will be determined to win, which could potentially hinder the quality of the game. However, I hope that one team will take control and open up the game, making it more thrilling to watch. I have no objections to Notts passing the ball back as long as they create good scoring opportunities. It’s important to remember that during the first 20 minutes, both teams will be sizing each other up. After that, the game truly begins. My hope is that Notts will go into halftime with a lead. Unlike Wrexham, I believe this would calm the game down since it’s being played at Wembley and force Chesterfield to be more aggressive in their play. This should result in a more end-to-end match.
  5. At least he has good intentions in going there. Some of our fans tend to nit pick over trivial matters and a few would even argue with themselves over insignificant things. In my opinion, if Ryan Reynolds wants to support Notts, that should be the end of it. No one should complain because imagine how the players would feel knowing he wants them to achieve promotion.
  6. It is important for Luke Williams and Notts County to sign Jodi Jones on a permanent basis. His talent has the potential to attract more fans to games and, more importantly, help the team win crucial matches.
  7. There are some great photos in the gallery. It's nice to see Notts fans having a good time after all these years. Games like the one on Sunday remind us why we support Notts.
  8. Even though we were down 2-0 against Boreham Wood, we rallied with determination and spirit to triumph 3-2 in extra time - an incredibly moving win.
  9. This Sunday, Notts County will be facing off against Boreham Wood at Meadow Lane. Notts finished in the 2nd position in the league, while Boreham Wood secured the 6th spot. However, Boreham Wood managed to defeat Barnet, who finished 5th, in their playoff eliminator game. There are a couple of key players to keep an eye on in this match, including Matt Palmer, who maintains a composed demeanour and acts as a link between the defence and offence, and Ruben Rodrigues, who is well-known for his ability to unlock play, create opportunities, and take shots on goal. Notts has a strong track record when playing at home, and with the game being broadcast on BT Sports and a sold-out crowd expected, fans are hoping for a solid performance. My prediction would be, 3-1 to Notts, with goals from Macaulay Langstaff (twice) and Adam Chicksen. This is certainly a match that is bound to be exciting!
  10. A warm welcome to you, @JohnTheBost! It’s great to have you with us.
  11. I hold a great deal of respect for supporters of other teams who extend their well-wishes to clubs and fans with whom they have no direct affiliation. It demonstrates the existence of sportsmanship between clubs and the presence of good-natured opposition fans.
  12. Macaulay Langstaff has demonstrated remarkable prowess on the pitch. While he could still benefit from some guidance from Les Bradd, there’s no disputing that he’s the premier striker below the Championship tier. With his aptitude for driving the club up the leagues, it would be splendid if Notts were able to fully harness his potential while he’s with them.
  13. Jodi Jones has brought a lot of quality to the team and I believe he should play more frequently. If he did, he would definitely be up there as a top contender. Sam Austin has also been very good and looks to be a solid acquisition for the club. However, the player who gets my vote for Signing of the Season is Macaulay Langstaff. He has had an outstanding season and has made a significant impact on the team.
  14. The Wrexham game was everything you could want in a season where both teams were fighting for first place. It was a thrilling match with high stakes and gets my vote as the Game of the Season.
  15. Macaulay Langstaff’s effort against Wrexham gets my vote for Goal of the Season. It was a fantastic display of skill and determination.
  16. I absolutely agree that Matt Palmer deserves to be named as Player of the Season, his performances have been consistently solid and it's clear to see that from how frequently he's played. As a starting player, his minutes are unmatched and that speaks volumes about his importance to the team. While he may not always grab the headlines or score the winning goals, his efforts are a big part of why we win games. In my opinion, he's just as important as Macaulay Langstaff, if not more, and a huge reason why we're a title-challenging side.
  17. It’s really tough to see Notts County hit 106 points and still not be able to gain automatic promotion. The playoffs can be a depressing route, but at some point, it has to work out in Notts’ favour. If we look back at the early 90s playoff games, we can see how Notts improved from losing out to Brighton. This squad has a real character about themselves and they know how to fight for it. They’ve achieved the highest points tally ever in English football without winning the league, so they definitely have what it takes to succeed.
  18. It was great to see Jim bag a hat-trick in the game. His experience and skill on the field are truly something to behold. He’s a real leader on the squad and his influence is undeniable. It’s interesting to compare him to Michael Doyle, who was vastly over-appreciated in my opinion. For some reason, Jim doesn’t seem to get the same level of recognition despite being a much better player. It just goes to show how subjective these things can be.
  19. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is a mouthful!
  20. I couldn't agree any more with @TheSkipper and @Chris. Throughout this season, both clubs have benefited from the close competition and the setbacks faced earlier on seemed to give Notts the extra push they needed to succeed. Although there were some initial doubts, the team's incredible performances, record-breaking achievements, and ability to apply pressure to their rivals have been truly inspiring. Simon has done a good job highlighting the team's shift in strategy, moving away from big-name signings and instead opting for unproven players. These tactics have proven to be successful, with promising performances and a renewed hope for playoffs success.
  21. I don’t think we can be too harsh on the players for the first 45 minutes, while it is important to set realistic expectations. I felt more let down by the performance against Wrexham than I did by the game against Woking. In my opinion, the first 45 minutes yesterday were far better than the first 60 minutes against Wrexham.
  22. The first half did not meet the standard set this season, but fans should expect this from time to time. Earlier in the season, we had some scrappy away wins that felt like we had robbed the home team, mostly because chances came late on. When this squad clicks, the level of threat increases. I thought it was only a matter of time before we took the lead. Woking did not pose much of a threat; they had good build-up play but seemed nervous when they got goal-side. Any other team on their day would have tested Sam Slocombe more. Sam Austin was class from start to finish and deserved the man of the match award.
  23. Hello, I don’t always welcome new members, but it’s nice to see you joining the community. It’s a pleasure to welcome you, @Dry Nelson Ray.
  24. Although it is a well-written article, it seems to be excessively flattering, as is often the case in American journalism. I believe its primary purpose is to criticise Wrexham and to generate interest due to the Hollywood hype.
