    That was a massive goal for Nick Tsaroulla! You could see how much he wanted it, and his work rate throughout the game was immense. He’s been a brilliant signing, so composed on the ball but also aggressive in his defensive work. His comments about the team’s resilience are spot on, too. We’ve had games in the past where we’d have let a lead slip, but now we’re looking a lot stronger at the back. The fans have played their part as well, away support was class again, and it’s great to hear players like Tsaroulla appreciate it. Hopefully, this is just the start for him in front of goal because he’s got the ability to contribute even more.

    Well done to David McGoldrick, his goal was a very cheeky effort and his whole performance was top-notch. Who's leading PON's MOM now?

    Good players will come, but we need to make sure that players are given more than a few cameo appearances. Junior Morias was always reportedly injured, but when he did play, I thought he looked quite useful.

    Awful news, I am hoping that Jordan Chiedozie recovers well and pulls through.

    The club's approach to recruitment is good, it helps Maynard. He doesn’t just sign players for the sake of it, he looks for the right fit. Traoré and Jatta offering different threats is exactly what we need, especially when teams sit deep. Also, great to see Whittaker getting some recognition, he’s got a smart football brain. Defence has been a concern with injuries, but McDonald stepping up has been huge. Really positive vibes around the club right now.

    Traore’s signing seems like a smart move. His stats from Scandinavia are impressive, and he brings a mix of pace, power, and skill to our front line. Montague’s comments suggest he’s got a good work ethic and strong link-up play, which bodes well for his integration into the team. The fact that he’s left-footed is a bonus. While there’s always some risk with new signings, his experience across multiple leagues should help him adapt. If he can replicate his form from Norway, we’ve got a player who could make a real difference. Here’s hoping for a smooth transition and some exciting goals!

    The interview shows why Jack is such a promising talent. He’s taking responsibility for improving his accuracy and making better decisions in attacking areas. For someone playing as a holding midfielder, his ability to arrive at the right time in the box is impressive. That goal might just be the first of many for us this season.

    Happy birthday, Neil! Your passion and commitment to Notts County made us all believe again. We’ll always remember the incredible journey you took us on.

    I love the FA Cup and all the stories that come with it, but this match against Peterborough United will really test us. It’s great to hear about players like Jodi Jones making progress, we’ve missed his spark on the pitch. The update on Dan Crowley and Scott Robertson is promising too, but it sounds like it’ll take time. Stuart Maynard’s focus on preparation, especially practising penalties, shows he’s leaving no stone unturned.

    Welcome to Pride of Nottingham, @Peter Speers. You should find it incredibly insightful and a good place to be.

    Didzy’s been the heartbeat of our attack this season. What stands out most is his ability to stay composed in high-pressure situations. Whether it’s converting a penalty or threading the perfect assist, he rarely puts a foot wrong. His age might make some think he’s nearing the end, but his performances suggest otherwise. He’s shown incredible fitness levels, and you can see he genuinely loves playing for Notts. It’s also clear that his presence boosts the squad's morale. Younger players must learn loads from him, and his experience is helping us keep pace at the top of the league. If he stays fit, I wouldn’t bet against him being pivotal in a potential promotion push this year.
  12. Countyman
    Will you be posting about potential strikers or other positions we might strengthen @ARLukomski? Notts should focus on players who are versatile enough to cover multiple positions. For instance, a winger who can also slot in as a wing-back would give us more flexibility, especially during those inevitable injury crises. The January window’s tricky because good deals can be rare, but the recruitment team has been spot on lately. Hopefully, they’ve already identified targets who fit into our style of play and can hit the ground running. It’d also be smart to look for younger players with potential resale value.

    It’s always sad to hear about a club like Partick Thistle struggling financially. Scottish football is such a different world to what we’re used to, but the challenges are similar, balancing the books while trying to be competitive. I can’t help but think that more should be done to ensure clubs stay afloat, like salary caps or better revenue sharing. Thistle has a loyal fanbase, and it’s the supporters who always feel the impact of poor financial decisions. As a Notts fan, I’ve seen how easily things can go wrong and how long it takes to recover. Hopefully, their board can find a way to turn things around without losing their league status or club identity.

    I thought Nick Tsaroulla played very well and is proving that he's settled in. It was a great performance from him, so my vote goes to him.

    Yesterday was a good display of how far Notts has come. We held onto the ball well, played with confidence, and didn’t let Harrogate frustrate us. Jatta’s goal was the result of the team’s hard work, as we kept at them until the breakthrough came. The last few minutes were a bit tense, but our defence held up nicely and didn’t give them any easy chances. If we keep this up, we’ll definitely make an impression this season. Great to see the fans showing strong support, too!

    Welcome to the site and community, PON is a good place to spend your time @Bren Shep.

    Stuart Maynard’s approach to management has brought a refreshing change to Notts. His adaptability and courage in making tough decisions have been evident. The emphasis on strong defensive play, combined with giving young talents a chance, is a strategy that can take the club far. The initial scepticism around his appointment has faded, thanks to the solid foundation he’s building. Like any good manager, he’s learning from past mistakes and implementing changes that benefit the team. Injuries are always a concern, and while they've affected us, Maynard’s handling of these challenges has been impressive. As we move ahead, the focus will be on maintaining momentum. With continued support from the fans and management, the sky’s the limit for Notts.

    The two home losses to Gillingham and Port Vale have been setbacks. Our performances since then haven't been great, but steady results show that we are a team capable of doing well at this level. Notts will need to dig deep on Saturday; this is a match we should win, and I believe we can do it with the right selection. I still think that bringing in a striker in January could give us a much-needed boost. I don't doubt Jatta or McGoldrick, but an additional option would help ease the pressure on our performances.
  21. Countyman
    Completely agree with Stuart Maynard’s assessment, it wasn’t the most attractive match to watch, but it’s great to see the lads come away with the win. AFC Wimbledon’s defensive shape was tough to break down, and it’s matches like these that show the importance of being clinical from set-pieces. Platt’s goal may have been scruffy, but they all count! I also thought our defence handled Wimbledon’s pressure really well. Bassi was immense, and I think Maynard’s spot on with how calm he keeps the team. It’s games like this that test your mental toughness, and Notts showed they’ve got plenty of it.
  22. Countyman
    Platt’s ability to get that goal from Palmer’s corner was exactly what the team needed. I think it’s a great sign when defenders can step up and make a difference in tight games like this. His goal might not have been the flashiest, but it showed real awareness and hunger. It’s also encouraging to see him aiming to add more goals to his game. Getting two goals so early in the season from a centre-half is brilliant and could be a huge asset as we push for more results. Defensively, he and the backline were solid, and that clean sheet speaks volumes after recent home games. Well-deserved win!

    I’m really glad to see Rod McDonald finally getting his chance to shine. It must have been tough watching from the sidelines, especially for a player with so much experience. Injuries can really derail a player’s momentum, but it seems like he’s handled it well and is eager to contribute. His praise for the rest of the defence, especially Louis Macari, shows how close-knit the squad is, which is great to hear. We’ve got some tricky fixtures coming up, so getting him fit and integrated now is really important. Let’s hope he hits the ground running and helps us shore up the backline. Clean sheet today, anyone?

    It’s good to see Notts handling Cedwyn’s situation with such care. Mental health issues are often swept under the rug in football, but Maynard and the club have made it clear that they are fully supporting Cedwyn Scott through this tough time. As fans, we sometimes forget the pressure these players are under, especially when injuries keep them off the pitch for extended periods. It’s great to hear that Cedwyn has found the strength to talk about his struggles, and hopefully, he’ll return to the pitch when he’s fully ready. Hats off to the club for treating this with the seriousness it deserves.
  25. Countyman
    Palmer’s comments about the changes in the squad hit the nail on the head. It’s never easy to integrate new players, and it does take time for everyone to get on the same page. But having someone like Matt, who’s been through it all and remains such a steady presence, is massive for the club. His leadership style, leading by example, works well, especially when there are so many new faces in the dressing room. We’ve started the season well, but as Matt says, there’s still a lot of room for improvement, which is exciting because we know the squad has even more to offer. I’m really optimistic about where we’re heading this season.
