Nothing beats the thrill of an away win - especially a dominant one like this! Good pictures.

Macaulay Langstaff's successful first couple of FL goals have established him as a formidable presence on the field. His striker's mentality is clear, patient yet assertive, always seeking scoring opportunities. His affirmation about doing something right even without chances reflects his determined outlook. His unyielding confidence, even during tough times, is truly commendable. Langstaff embodies the qualities football requires: composed yet dynamic, patient yet relentlessly focused on improvement.

I appreciate John Bostock, it’s nice to hear a player speak well of a former team. I do think it was a topic that he didn’t quite want to discuss but he answered the questions excellently.

Whilst I understand the frustration with not being able to retain a clean sheet, there shouldn’t be any negatives about this game. I am not suggesting fans shouldn’t discuss the goal or other matters, I don’t deem that to be negative. Yet saying we played poorly after winning 3-1 is baffling. I thought Notts grew into the game, they performed excellently as a team and we looked steady. At no point did I feel they would score, but they did. We have to accept that, mistakes will happen from time to time but provided we play well and work hard the points will keep coming. Have some faith.

Great performance, Notts grew into the game. The first goal was excellent, I thought the free kick should have gone straight in but I can see and appreciate what they were thinking. I thought the squad put in a real team performance today. Whilst Doncaster looked like a park team and were thuggish at times, I thought Notts handled the situation well. The referee was a clown and should have booked them more than us but we overcame his poor officiating. Credit to Luke Williams for his decisions on the line-up and for getting Notts to lift the intensity of their performance.

Continuing our unbeaten run is important, but more than that, we absolutely must start turning draws into victories. We've shown our prowess in possession; the next step is to convert that into clear scoring opportunities.

I fully agree with the sentiment of not underestimating Doncaster Rovers. Despite their poor start, I believe they won't be an easy opponent. It's essential for Notts to start strong and maintain the momentum throughout the match. An early goal should help set the tone for the rest of the game.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I am glad that Luke Williams is strategically pulling out players who are showing signs of strain. It's early days, so best not to risk exacerbating any injuries. Better to miss a few friendly matches than miss pivotal league games.

Good luck to Southend. It must be very stressful for their fans.

Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @BeestonPie.

The squad is establishing a level of understanding with the new players. Pairs of players, such as Dan Crowley, are serving as anchors further up the pitch, connecting others into the games. It's looking promising for when we play teams at our own level.

Much better, I thought the youngsters did well. It was Luther on the left wing in the second half, wasn’t it? He controlled things well but looked like he had no confidence taking players on or crossing the ball. I felt for him. The centre back actually did much better. I was pleased by the performance because Notts looked the better team.

If Luke Williams can get a good response following the Stoke City game and get the players to improve their concentration, I hope those fans who were disappointed with the Stoke City result don’t go to the other extreme, especially if Notts manages to win. We have to keep in mind how much money has been spent this past season just to survive the relegation drop from the Premier League. Win, lose or draw, I just want everyone to enjoy it. Let the players have their moment against Forest and don’t call out players during the game.

From our point of view, Notts made it very easy for Stoke City, and the number of mistakes, even in a friendly, was alarming. However, it’s not the end of the world. I don’t see those errors happening as frequently against players closer to our own level. Just imagine how other teams felt when we played them last season; it’s virtually the same effect.

Langstaff really provides us fans with some insight into what’s happening behind the scenes. I appreciate his involvement, it's comforting to see he’s as invested in the upcoming season as we are.

Well deserved! Congratulations to Dan Leivers and the entire team.
