Meadow Lane needs to be the foundation of success for Notts, we take a lot of fans to away games but I strongly believe its at home where the club should enjoy the most success. Fans going to home games seeing wins will breed a positive feeling to away games, but you need a strong squad and quality on the bench to get any ball rolling. I still feel Neal Ardley is learning about the squad he has.

He won't do himself any favours, he would have known what he was taking on and that Macclesfield hadn't got the funds due to financial difficulties. I suspect he's just trying to jump ship whilst his managerial stock is at its highest, I can't see many taking him on.

Winning football matches breeds confidence, it settles the nerves and would allow the players to express themselves without fear. This season is all about stability and establishing ourselves as a National League club, if this can be done right then a few good season of steady building may lead to a brighter future. Until then I am taking each game as they come. I refuse to get over excited about results, whilst I don't get upset when they go wrong either.

Welcome to PON @GazH, get stuck in lad.

I don't see how things will improve until Kane Hemmings replacement arrives, Neal Ardley threw all his attacking options on against Barnet and that wasn't enough.

@ARLukomski you should become a betting man with that form.

I thought Barnet played very well, they made the most of their chances and you can see the difference between them and us. They have an established squad who play for each other, ours are still getting used to it. I am only disappointed about throwing the lead away.

Solid centre back, great signing. I am very pleased with it.

Welcome to PON @ISupportTheNotts

Excellent discussion @menzinho, out of interest which of the trialists would you sign or want to see Ardley take on?

I feel like discussing Notts more without feeling the need to get angry, I should vent some of this by pinning a picture of Alan Hardy on my dart board. The club will feel like home again soon. This is the natural change after a takeover, the good work just needs to continue and some fans need to be patient. We can't rush success, or expect promotion without earning it. Do it right and Notts could end up like Lincoln or Luton.

It's a shame Matt Tootle and Kristian Dennis have both picked up injuries. If Nathan Tyson signs and a new right back, there is at least the need for a younger, pacer striker to join.

Safe He looked a great keeper back in the day when the standards were much higher.

Neal Ardley will remain as manager, now is the time for Jim O'Brien to sign. I suspect he will be given a one-year-deal.

It was time for Jon Stead to have a fresh challenge/to retire, as it was for Notts to find a new striker. I hope the club can sign a target man.
