  1. I still believe Notts are capable of securing a playoff spot. This run of fixtures will determine if there’s any chance of automatic promotion. I hope those fans who are worried can accept that we just haven’t been consistent enough for that. However, there’s no reason why our form couldn’t improve. The next five games are crucial.
  2. Hopefully, Stuart Maynard and his team can keep up the winning streak at Meadow Lane. Being at home might make things a bit easier for him, but taking on a club full-time is still a new challenge. I’m confident he’ll do well. The recent coaching videos suggest they’re a vocal team during training, which is promising.
  3. Strong unity, Maynard's strategic focus, high morale... Feels like a fresh start's brewing at Meadow Lane. Bring on Barrow, let's turn anticipation into points!
  4. Just brilliant! Langstaff's journey: non-league to League Two, is a tale of hard work, dedication, determination and skill. His positive influence on the team is noticeable. Here's to continuing the good form in 2024!
  5. Macari's transition from a loan to a permanent player is an intriguing development. He is a shining example of a young talent with bags of potential. His fear-instinct and the 'football in his family' factor, as expressed by Luke Williams, constitute a lethal combination on the pitch. Exciting times ahead.
  6. The respect Williams has for Weaver's enduring presence in the industry really stands out. It sounds like he is using Weaver's success and consistency as a benchmark for his own coaching journey. A show of great humility and ambition.
  7. Williams speaks so positively about the academy and its work at Notts County. Always believed that nurturing homegrown talent would lead to greater success on the national stage. Very excited to see what the young lad, James Sanderson, brings to the game.
  8. Williams's concern for Dan Gosling is remarkable. It's refreshing to see a manager who genuinely cares for the longer-term health and fitness of his players, even in the face of adversity. We should all applaud his commitment to player welfare. In addition, the comments about the academy really underline his belief in home-grown talent. This investment in future generations, nurturing players from within, is how we'll build a robust and versatile team. There's something heartening about a manager who, in the face of challenges, takes visible pride in the club's youth system.
  9. Hello, @samantha louise. I am also pleased to be welcoming you, PON is a nice community.
  10. Hello, @magpiemad. Keep adding your comments to the content here. You will be made most welcome.
  11. Hello, @Laura Cameron. I find PON easy to dive into when I have the time. You will be welcomed and made to feel at home here.
  12. junior Morias’s recognition and acceptance of the team’s competition is praiseworthy. His acknowledgement of his teammates’ outstanding performances shows his sportsmanship. His faith in the manager’s decisions and his ability to stay upbeat, even in disappointing times, show a maturity vital for any professional player.
  13. I’m thrilled to see Morias acknowledging and appreciating the fans’ support. This special bond between the players and fans creates a lively football atmosphere. It nurtures a sense of unity and belonging, reinforcing our mutual passion for the game and the club. Morias’ recognition underscores this authentic connection.
  14. In the recent match with Crawley Town, Jim O’Brien’s adaptability and spirit shone. Despite initial struggles, the team showed resilience. Individual performances were strong, but the collective effort was key. O’Brien’s post-match comments were honest, humorous, and warm.
  15. Love the point Dan made about ‘family’. It’s a clear demonstration of how football isn’t just about the individual, but the synergy of the entire team.
  16. This is why Luke Williams has all the signs of becoming a successful manager. He’s adept at understanding the broader context and his insight into how to move forward is unparalleled at this level. He’s spot on, without undermining anyone.
  17. McGoldrick demonstrates that not only is he a top player with undying spirit, but he's a valuable asset to Notts. His performance was just the right mix of bracing football play, quality scorings, and useful guidance to the team - a complete package! Baring teeth to challenges and ensuring a win is what exemplifies his 'winning mentality'. Looking forward to more games where we can relish his presence!
  18. As a long-time Notts fan, I completely resonate with this piece. The support and camaraderie among fans are akin to a force of nature - and it can indeed have a significant impact on the field. It's something that can't be quantified but can be strongly felt, both in the stands and on the pitch. That mutual respect and shared passion is why I'll always be shouting my support for Notts County!
  19. The draw was satisfactory, with no cause for disappointment. Rather than dwelling on the goal they scored, I prefer to concentrate on our missed opportunities. It wasn’t our day, but we certainly made it challenging for MK Dons.
  20. I don’t foresee Tranmere Rovers making significant progress just because they’ve dismissed their manager. This season, they seem unlikely to achieve their ambitions. They appear to be a team with players who, for whatever reason, aren’t performing at their peak.
  21. It was truly a heart-stirring moment watching Cameron being mobbed by his ecstatic teammates and cheered on by the jubilant fans. It reaffirms our belief in the beauty of football and the spirit it invokes among players and fans alike. Kyle's humility and dedication is not just inspiring but deeply refreshing in the world of football.
  22. In my opinion, Tshumanga may not perform well at Fleetwood. I don’t think he would fare much better in League Two either. It’s possible that he will return to the National League before long. While he has potential, I don’t think it’s something that clubs will see as being of a high standard, especially when compared to the better players he will come up against.
  23. It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Ian Hamilton at the young age of 55. It is truly a tragedy to lose someone so young and our thoughts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
  24. Ruben Rodrigues is a talented player, but he can be inconsistent at times. Oxford United may need to come to terms with this fact, as they shouldn’t expect him to be a world-beater. However, he is technically very skilled and if the club backs him, it could pay off in the long run. But if they expect him to always perform at his best, they might be disappointed.
  25. It’s interesting to hear about Kian Johnson, the young keeper who left Doncaster Rovers and joined Dubai City FC in the UAE. It seems like he saw this as an opportunity to play professional football in one of the best places in the world. Although it’s not clear if he knew Luke Williams or if he was doing him a favour, it’s great to see young players taking chances and pursuing their dreams. I wish him all the best in his career.
