  1. Getting back to winning ways and keeping our strong home form is just what we need from the lads. It’s important to build confidence and keep the momentum going. The Crewe result was a setback, but there’s no need to panic or feel worried. These things happen, and it’s part of the journey. We’ve still been showing signs of progress. Once everything clicks into place, I believe we’ll find that consistency we’ve been looking for. That’s what will help us climb the table and really push on. It starts with tomorrow’s match. Oldham are a solid side, but if our players work hard and focus on creating chances, there’s every chance we’ll get a good result.
  2. Jatta and Jones would still be crucial. I would keep Jarvis if he is for real, and Dennis could push on with regular games. Palmer should handle the step up, and Ness needs fitness to show what he can do. We would need depth elsewhere, especially at left wing back and in central midfield.
  3. The middle of the back three is a key area and Rod has helped us find balance. His positional sense is good and he is rarely dragged out of position. He also shows a calm manner that helps younger players like Bedeau grow into the role. I am not panicking about Platt’s injury; it gives us time to map out how the trio should work when he returns. The spine of the team is looking stronger with Rod in the middle, not simply because of form but because his all-round game supports the whole unit. If he keeps performing, Notts have a reliable base to build on.
  4. Back the club’s plans to invest in the academy and facilities as well as the squad. The Reedtz brothers want to build Notts for the long term. That matters. A coach can reach higher when the club grows off the pitch too. We must stay critical where needed but trust the process and back the vision.
  5. Notts fans have seen big talk before, but this feels different. Writing off a loan is rare and signals real patience and a plan. It reduces financial pressure on next summer's budget, which means the manager can focus on getting a rhythm with the squad rather than chasing last minute loans. It also sends a message to players that the owners are serious about building something sustainable, not just a quick win. We should hold them to that, and we should support sensible signings that fit the plan. Promotion is a long road, but clear, careful steps like this help us move in the right direction.
  6. Joe Palmer’s words resonate with the pride we all feel as Lifeline members. Knowing that our support funds Premier-standard facilities reinforces the tangible impact of our commitment to Notts. The gym and improvements like safe standing areas prove that our club is progressing, preparing players optimally while respecting fans' experiences at Meadow Lane. It's initiatives like these that create a more dynamic, enjoyable environment, attracting more fans to games and new members to Lifeline itself. Let’s keep this momentum, ensuring the foundations we lay today serve every purpose possible for seasons ahead.
  7. Continuity is the word here. Five head coaches in six years has unsettled the squad and the fans. The Reedtz brothers deserve credit for trying to create a plan, but the club needs to stick to it. Selling top players hurts, unless you replace them with better ones quickly. We cannot keep chasing cheaper options; we need quality in key areas, especially goal and attack. The academy should be a real route, not a revolving door for loans. If MP gets time to build a spine and a clear attacking identity, Notts can grow into a steadier side. It is not a promise of instant promotion, but it is a careful path forward.
  8. I want to feel confident week to week. It’s not enough to win games by luck or last minute goals. We need a plan that shows in every match, from the first whistle to the final whistle. That means defending well, moving the ball quickly, and finishing chances with calm. The Fleetwood game gave a hint of this when the team stayed compact and pressed at the right times. If we can repeat that level of focus across most fixtures, the mood around Meadow Lane will improve and the results will be steadier. Fans will stay patient if the team looks organised and purposeful.
  9. Dennis deserves a lot of praise for how he has settled in. His finish at the back post was instinctive and shows he’s got that striker’s knack. It was also encouraging to see Gordon grab the winner, because we need players stepping up from the bench. I thought Norburn worked hard in midfield even if he wasn’t as effective on the ball as usual, but he kept us ticking. The defensive unit did their job late on, and Bedeau in particular made some important interventions. It feels like the squad is starting to find a balance between attack and defence, and if that continues, more wins like this will follow.
  10. Great to see a new face @NCRichie! We’re all about keeping things friendly, fair, and full of Notts chat. Welcome to PON.

  12. Best of luck to him at Barnsley. They're making a big fuss in the media about him signing, almost like it’s the biggest deal ever. If I was one of their fans, I’d be raising an eyebrow. He's a decent player, sure, but they’re carrying on like he's in the prime of youth. He’s not 25, lads.
  13. It does seem like the next manager might already be working elsewhere. It would be great if Notts could bring in someone from a strong setup like the Danish Under-21s. As long as the new coach is given proper support, I think they’ll have every chance to get the best out of the team we’ve got.
  14. Rest in peace, Dick Edwards. He should be remembered for everything he gave to Notts County.
  15. You’d be daft not to keep hold of your gold. Canada is putting money into building its infrastructure and finding new ways to earn, which makes sense. But having no safety net is a bit naïve. I think it’s true that the UK stores gold for several countries, and most of it doesn’t even belong to us.
