    Yes, it appears to be a nice design. I particularly like the menu area as it has a very modern look. I’ve noticed a few issues, but they’re easy to overlook. However, the club’s request for fans to report issues might be something they regret, given how particular some people can be.

    Hello, @BiggestPieInGlasgow. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham! It's good to be welcoming to the site here.

    Hello, @Up the Maggies. It's nice to say hello and to be welcoming you. PON should be a good place for you to come and chat Notts.

    Cracking signing, Curtis Edwards fits the role rather well. Slotting him into the midfield should be straightforward, I can envision him potentially rotating with Scott Robertson or coming off the bench to steady the ship. Very heartening news.

    Top-notch interview with Stuart Maynard, it wasn’t a walk in the park stepping in after Luke Williams departed for Swansea. He had a raft of things to get acquainted with, but the remarks from the players and staff about his pleasant nature and what I’ve observed of his coaching have been encouraging. I always hoped he would reach this point and not end up being shown the door by those fans who voted with their feet and voices. Hopefully, he’ll be all smiles by the season’s end.

    Solid update, I wish the site all the best with expanding the team and I value the efforts of everyone involved. I’m keen to see future enhancements to both the site and team.

    This news about Meadow Lane is brilliant! We've needed these upgrades for years, especially a new drainage system to avoid waterlogging. Matt Hallam's team worked miracles under difficult conditions, and their hard work has definitely paid off. This investment is not just about improving the pitch but about bringing our club closer to the top tier of football excellence. It shows the club’s ambition and sets a strong foundation for future success. Thanks to everyone who made this happen!

    Such sad news. Willie Carlin was a fantastic player and always gave his best. RIP Willie.

    Focus on getting better and looking after yourself. Try not to stress about Notts too much, although it’s commendable that you wanted to be there, @Piethagoram.

    I hope Connell Rawlinson isn’t in the starting line-up; he tends to make errors. While I value his dedication to Notts, I’m not convinced he’s up to par anymore. I’ve felt this way even before last Saturday. I mean no ill will, as I’m sure he does his best, but we need stronger players. Our current form should motivate all players to prove their worth for a starting spot. This suggests we could recruit better talent. When Notts concedes goals, it often dampens the team’s spirit, and it’s hard to predict the outcome from there. We seldom show the resilience needed to bounce back. I’d suggest Adam Chicksen for centre back since he hasn’t been effective on the wing and might benefit from a more defined role to regain his place in the starting eleven. Apart from that, I’d keep the team mostly unchanged and work through the errors.

    Sam Austin stepping up to acknowledge the fans in such a heartfelt manner is precisely why this club feels like family. It isn't just about the 90 minutes on the pitch; it's about the ongoing support, the shared highs and lows, and the collective drive towards success. His adaptability across positions showcases his commitment to the team's cause, something that we, as fans, replicate in our support from the stands. Let's rally behind Austin and the squad for the challenges ahead!

    The comparison between the current state of affairs and the Fullarton era really puts things into perspective. It's a reminder of how far we've come and the obstacles we’ve overcome. Yes, the situation isn’t ideal, but turning our dissatisfaction into boos only adds to the pressure on our players. They need us now more than ever. Let’s channel our energies into positive support and help reignite the spirit of Meadow Lane. We’ve weathered storms before; we can do it again together.

    Football is a big gamble, but many aren’t ready to invest over several years and establish measures to enhance their financial situation. Teams like QPR spend heavily to reach the Premier League and depend on the parachute payments for support. It might be time to abandon this approach in favour of methods that ensure teams can maintain their operations if they get relegated.

    Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, it's good to have you here @TruroPieSi.

    Loved seeing Grealish and McGregor play for Notts. It's those kind of loans that make me support the idea, despite the downsides.

    Crewe will pose a challenge, but the last time we faced them in a cup game earlier in the season, we didn’t field our full squad. This could give us some unexpected advantages. I’m unsure if they fielded a strong squad, but on paper, I like our chances, especially with the match being at Meadow Lane.
  17. thommo
    Newport is a tough away game. They’re strong on their home ground, and currently, most League Two teams could likely beat us. Our morale seems low with little sign of improvement. An early goal and a strong performance would be ideal, but it seems unlikely.

    Playoffs

    I still have hope, but I think it’s only going to get tougher. Notts needs to turn things around and hope for good results. They did at times earlier in the season, but I fear that at this stage, teams are fighting for form and the better teams will continue to vie for the top spots. It might be beyond our reach, but remember, we gained promotion last season. Next year, they can regroup and try again.

    Notts’ performance declined after Gillingham’s equaliser. I think Gillingham’s push for a second goal, and then a third, either before half-time or soon after, shocked the players. We left everything too late and missed our best chances to make a real contest of it. I’m somewhat disappointed with the squad overall, but it’s hard to single out individual players when I know they’re trying.
  20. thommo
    It’s great news for Jodi Jones. He’s earned it, and I agree that he should have been recognised earlier. Right now, he’s about the best thing in the Notts squad, though he can’t win games on his own.
  21. thommo
    I think a lot of it is just overreactions, but some fans are just grumpy folks who love to complain and criticise players. It’s easier to do that than to stick with the squad and understand that we’ve been punching above our weight. With the injuries, managerial loss, and other changes, the momentum has shifted.
  22. thommo
    Solid in defence and creative in attack, Stuart's vision could be just what the Magpies need. Can't wait for the next match!

    I saw a news report on this a few days ago. They interviewed an elderly woman about when she wanted to be repaid. She said, “Today’s fine”. I thought she was right. It’s high time they received their compensation and this issue was put to rest. Let the victims live the rest of their lives without this burden. They’ve suffered enough.

    He’s a brilliant young talent. I hope we integrate him more into the team. Gradually introducing him into games as a substitute would be a good start. From what I’ve seen, he seems ready for football, so I hope we give him that platform without hastily sending him out on loan.
  25. thommo
    Norwich fans seem impressed, which makes it more exciting. Luke Williams might have been reluctant to start younger players for some reason, but I think Stuart Maynard will see the value in playing Jaden Warner. Some young players are just ready for football, and he could do a job for his parent club, which means we should play him.
