  1. What an ending this game would have been if Macca had managed to direct his header into the net in those final minutes, eluding the MK Dons goalkeeper. It was an entertaining game between two good teams!
  2. The issue is that when a bigger club expresses interest in a player and the club refuses to negotiate, they weaken their position if the player decides to run out his contract. I would imagine that if the offer is lucrative, Harrogate should have accepted it or asked for a reasonable amount.
  3. I don’t want Oxford United to do well, but I do want Ruben Rodrigues to succeed. I just don’t think they are a club that deserves to be where they are. Their fans always act as if they deserve everything and have little patience when things aren’t going well.
  4. Now, the majority have said Adam Chicksen, but watch Will Randall stroll straight into the squad. For me, this would be the wrong decision and somewhat negative. Players have to wait their turn, but if it proves to be a good call, then that is all that matters. I would prefer Chicksen to get the minutes.
  5. I would exercise caution when considering becoming Fleetwood’s manager. I think Karl Robinson would be courageous to take on the role.
  6. Very sad, Rest in Peace Ian Hamilton.
  7. Luke Williams is certainly right, the incredible support from fans can make all the difference. Stadiums brimming with relentless energy can boost a team's spirit significantly. Also, congratulations to Jodi Jones on getting called up for the national team. It's a proud moment for all of us.
  8. What makes these moments extra special is the spectacular atmosphere that prevails at Meadow Lane, something that 'Faces of PON' captures brilliantly. The celebration and joy following our triumph over Accrington Stanley are memories to cherish. This sense of community and shared victory is exactly what makes supporting Notts rewarding. Glad to see that despite the worries, we held on to our nerve and came out as winners. Truly, these are the scenes that make the efforts worth it. Keep up the great work, @Chris.
  9. What an outstanding performance by Notts! They demonstrated true resilience and determination to bounce back after the setback of going level. The victory feels even more empowering, knowing that Notts are now at the top of the league table. The players put in a solid performance, and the entire squad showed their strength and depth. It’s truly a testament to the team’s character and ability to overcome adversity. Well done, Notts!

  11. Reading this, it's clear how much of an asset Williams is for Notts County. Despite the pressure and hurdles, he has guided the team brilliantly and the results are visible. From securing October's Manager of the Month award, leading Notts to victorious ends, to his adept handling of player management, it all reveals his deep understanding of the game. The humbleness of his approach and the respect he earns from his players are testament to his managerial acumen. We couldn't have asked for a better head coach.
  12. The comparison with Luton Town's success paints a promising future. With this in mind, Notts County marches forward with an optimistic blend of youthful exuberance and seasoned experience. Our manager's confidence instils a sense of hope and anticipation among fans. However, we acknowledge the challenges ahead. League Two is a new battlefield with established teams ready to test our mettle. All of this makes for an exciting season ahead!
  13. The changes that have been made are not noticeable if you didn’t know what the original looked like. Very good work.
  14. It was a very entertaining game, with little to complain about. Their goal couldn’t be stopped, and with 10 men, everyone pulled together to maintain the lead. The win felt very good and the performance was brilliant. Every squad member did well, some shone more, but it was a team result.
  15. Hello, it's nice to see you @JC1966.
  16. It’s the best performance so far this season. In the first half, Notts were class. They were very determined to win, and when McGoldrick scored, there was little point in going all-in for a second. The movement just allowed the game to open up and, to be fair, plenty of chances came. In the second half, there was a surge in play and domination by us. I am very happy with the win.

  18. It's a hard truth in football that any error, no matter how seemingly insignificant, can drastically affect the outcome of a match. The fact he's highlighting this shows his meticulous attention to detail, aimed towards perfecting their game dynamics. His stance on prioritising victory over style of play resonates with pragmatism. Football is, after all, a results-based business, isn't it? His intention to win on merit, by creating enough chances whilst constricting the opposition, is commendable.
  19. I am pleased Jodi Jones ended up being credited for his goal. It’s something that seems unimportant, but for a player to have goals to their name can be something that helps get the most out of them.
  20. I fear Southend will be the next team to fade and die. I really hope it’s not the case, and I wish them all the very best.
  21. Morecambe should be docked points instead of being given time to overcome the issue. I sympathise with them; it’s awful, but at the end of the day, if their owner isn’t willing to pay the players’ wages, they must be docked points. I don’t get the logic that owners have when they lose interest. The more damage they do, the less likely they are to get a good amount of money back for the club. They will never get their full investment back.
  22. I like Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. The character of Frank Spencer is someone most people can relate to. We have all met a ‘Frank’, who may not be over-exaggerated, but the similarities are there. It’s one of the sitcoms I could easily re-enjoy rewatching. A lot of the stunts Michael Crawford did are exactly what makes it timeless. It’s a very funny and well-written show.
  23. It’s going to be a good match, that much is certain. I can’t envision Notts playing in any manner that Luke Williams wouldn’t approve of. Tranmere may be struggling, but I suspect they will rise to the occasion when playing us on Saturday. If they cause any scares, that will be another story, but I believe Notts will give them trouble.
