Countyman

I just had to chime in here. The love for Notts County that Julie and her family displayed so vividly moved me. This story is really an ode to the far-reaching impact one shared interest can have: creating deep bonds across generations and fostering memorable experiences. The power of football, indeed!

It was certainly a game that won't be remembered for a display of attacking prowess from either side. With the potential we possess, I believe we could've been more demanding on their defence.

Hello to you @MagpieRoy and welcome to PON.

Certainly a tricky match, with Morecambe putting up a valiant defence. What struck me, however, was the sheer determination and creativity displayed by players like Nemane and O’Brien. Their spirited efforts to unsettle Morecambe's defence were commendable.

What an exciting match! Notts showed great resilience in coming back from behind twice to seal all three points. I left Meadow Lane very happy.

A big part of succeeding in football is about adapting to the different types of play one might be up against. One of the key factors that Luke Williams has discussed is teams playing a deep block against us. This is an inherently defensive strategy, suggesting that the opposition respects our attacking prowess. While it's a compliment in a sense, it also presents a new challenge for the team. Can we maintain our direct, attacking approach while still finding ways to unlock a staunch defence?

Pre-season has gone quite well. I like what I see and I think any issues with players working together will improve over time. There are already signs that players are linking well and good results will help Notts push on during the season. These games are all about preparing for the league and I think we look ready. Good write-up!

The preview by them is very good and well-written.

It’s good value for overseas fans and it’s also nice that UK fans can catch games outside of the usual kick-off times. This is a fair way to allow fans to watch without affecting their ability to travel to games.

Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @David Shipston. Good to have you here.

Blimey! Welcome to all four of you, I hope to see you on PON.

He is not a bad player and I imagine he has improved a lot since being on loan with us. I truly believe he is a great signing for Stockport County and would fit in well with most League One teams.

I thought this was going to be about the media team. Charlie Slater doing a season preview sounds like something worth watching. The brief clip is nice to see, with Macaulay Langstaff and David McGoldrick both smiling and looking excited.

He can play on either side of the defence, as a right or left back. He has pace and is fairly good at defending. I watched his training video and he looked impressive, forcing Jodi Jones to go wide before taking the ball from him. If his wages are not an issue, he would be a good signing. Perhaps this is why Ollie Tipton has been loaned out, so the club can invest more in other areas that need strengthening.

Brilliant addition to our backline! Tipton comes with a lot of promise and it will be beneficial for both him and Notts County. His versatility also brings so much depth to our defence. Can't wait to see him in action.

David McGoldrick’s exceptional performance was delightful to witness. His shot was flawlessly executed and soared precisely to its intended target.

While I don’t believe Alfreton performed exceptionally well, I wouldn’t describe them as “poor”. I believe the quality displayed by Notts made it challenging for them. Alfreton could have been more adept with the ball, but it was evident that the training Notts had undergone paid off. We pressed and were eager to regain possession, and the team delivered a fantastic performance. Macaulay Langstaff seemed likely to score given our direct passes to him, and David McGoldrick’s outstanding effort was a joy to behold.

McGoldrick's confidence is infectious. Love how he believes in his quality and the team's potential, just goes to show the positive spirit in the Notts County camp this pre-season.

It’s a good move for Andy Dallas; he should adapt well, but it might take time. Barnsley is a club that won’t rush him.

Hello, glad to be welcoming you to PON @George L. Don't be shy, join in and have a natter.

A big loss to the footballing world, especially that of the UK. Rest in peace, Trevor Francis.

Hello, glad to be welcoming you to PON @Steveyward.

Hello, glad to be welcoming you to PON @JustLikeJuve.

I already have my season ticket, so there’s no need to purchase them on general sale. However, if anyone reading this does not have their own, come down to Meadow Lane and help us pack the stands. @Fan of Big Tone, are you not a season ticket holder then?

I also think that Michael Doyle’s decision to focus on youth football is a good one. It could be an excellent opportunity for him to get his career back on track.
