Volleys...for the weekend
Those are some volleys! I think defences these days make it harder for players to score, but from time to time, you do see a good volley.

6000 Season Tickets Sold
Iβm not sure when Notts last had 6,000 season ticket holders, but itβs great to see such a high number. With the cost of football going up, it makes sense for fans to commit and reduce the fee from Β£24 per game. It also benefits the club by bringing in revenue that can be used for recruitment. Itβs good to see the club growing again.

Conor Grant Excited for Meadow Lane Debut: 'The Pitch Looks Beautiful'
I like how Conor Grant has come in and made an immediate impact. Scoring when new is never easy, and it shows he's got the right mentality. His comments about the pitch and excitement for the first home game really resonate with me. It's clear he understands the importance of connecting with the fans and taking pride in the club's facilities. His experience at other clubs, including a stint at a higher division, will only benefit Notts. I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops throughout the season and helps in our pursuit of promotion. His positive attitude towards pressure is refreshing and necessary for the challenges ahead.

Match Discussion: League Cup - The Shrews (A)
I donβt want to complain about losing on penalties. It would have been nice to win without going into them, but Iβm sure the players gave their all and they will be hurting after losing. I hear Curtis Edwards took his performance quite badly and blamed himself, even apologising to his teammates.

Conor Grant. Who is he?
Conor Grant looks like a good player. I have been impressed by his impact so far and hope we can make the most of what he brings to the team. Excellent write-up, thank you for sharing @Robbie.

Tom Daley Announces His Retirement.
One of the best divers, itβs sad to see Tom Daley retire from the sport. Heβs always worked hard, so I hope he enjoys his time away from it.

American Pie
Thank you for letting us know, @AmericanPie. I wish you well. I wondered why he hadnβt been active for some time. Itβs sad news that he canβt enjoy his mobility. Please let him know many of his friends here miss him. As for stubbornness, itβs an English trait most of us have.

Notts County Head Coach Stuart Maynard Reflects on Heartbreaking League Cup Defeat
Itβs tough to see such a promising start turn into a heart-breaking defeat. The first half performance was near perfect, and it felt like we had Shrewsbury on the ropes. Stuart Maynardβs comments on taking responsibility for Curtis Edwardsβ mistake are refreshing. It shows a great deal of leadership. Defensive lapses in the second half were a stark contrast to the fluid play in the first. It's a harsh reminder that football games can change in an instant. Penalty shoot-outs are always down to luck, and unfortunately, it didnβt go our way this time.

New signings coming soon?
Notts could do with another attacking midfielder if we are to have two playing in similar roles. We need someone different from the options we have, but still of high quality, not just for cover or depth. A striker would be nice to see come in, but I donβt want just any old player.

The Notts County Squad 2024/25
I think one or two players would be enough to add depth come January. The attacking midfield might need an addition if we are to play two players in this role. Unless Sam Austin gets more game time, the club could use players that offer quality and something different. I donβt think a keeper should be a concern. Alex Bass looks great, and Sam Slocombe is more than capable of covering. Aidan Stone could do better with the level of protection given to Bass against Tranmere.

Conor Grant Eager to Make an Impact at Notts County After Signing From MK Dons
Itβs fantastic to see Conor Grant so eager to get started at Notts. His reflections on the challenges he faced at MK Dons show his maturity and readiness to learn from past experiences. What excites me most is how he talks about the clubβs ambition and his fit within the team's style of play. I think this could be a turning point in his career, and with the support of the fans and coaching staff, he could really shine this season. Hereβs hoping he makes a big impact on the pitch!

Tranmere Rovers 0-0 Notts County: Magpies Dominate Possession but Settle for a Point at Prenton Park
I thought we were the better team out there today, despite not scoring. The midfield was excellent, keeping Tranmere on the back foot for most of the match. Itβs just a shame we couldnβt convert our chances. Bass was impressive in his debut, looks like a solid addition to the squad. Thereβs room for improvement, especially in the attacking third, but if we continue to control games like this, the wins will come. The second half was a masterclass in keeping possession. We just need that cutting edge to turn a good performance into a great result.

Stuart Maynard Confident Ahead of Notts County's Season Opener Against Tranmere Rovers
Interesting insights from Maynard ahead of the Tranmere game. The pre-season defensive improvements are promising, especially the record after the 60-minute mark. The new signings filling critical positions in defence should significantly improve our stability at the back. Cedwyn Scott being handed the number nine shirt is exciting; he could add a lot of firepower if he stays healthy. Maynardβs meticulous approach, including scouting Tranmere and nearly finalising the starting eleven, suggests the team is well-prepared.

The Mount Rushmore of Notts
Jimmy Sirrel, Les Bradd, Tommy Lawton, Jimmy Logan. These would be the faces carved into my version of Mount Rushmore. I could easily add two or three more, but I wonβt get carried away and have narrowed it down to what I consider to be the most important.

Addressing the Lack of Content
Once organised and in a routine, the benefit will be felt. Donβt fret, do what you can, and if anyone complains, remind them you have a life to live.

Squad Numbers Confirmed.
Pretty standard squad number release, no genuine surprises or shocks. Thereβs room for other additions if the club chooses to recruit further, either now or later on. I could imagine some higher numbers might come down next season depending on performances.

Matchday programmes scrapped
I havenβt bought a programme for years now. I just donβt see the value, and they quickly become paper waste. If it was more like a magazine, I might reconsider, but the last time I bought one, the paper was worse than toilet roll, and there were more ads than good content.

Away kits revealed
The orange kit is a very plain shirt. Itβs still nice, but I wonβt be buying it. As for the other, it looks blue/purple, which seems to have a nice pattern and design. It depends on the actual shade of the colour. I generally donβt like purple.

Forest Sign Grealish lookalike Jota Silva
He looks like a weaker imitation of Jack Grealish. I do think the pair share an uncanny resemblance. I donβt think Grealish would be bothered about the comparison. Jota Silva is a decent player, but I think Grealish is far better. I donβt get all the fuss over the off-topic comments. It sounds like effort was made to encourage people to respond.

Match Discussion: Game 1 - Super White Army (A)
Tranmere will want to start their season well, and being at home, I suspect they will work hard to make it a tough test. I will be interested to see how we start and if we can get going early. I think there will be some nerves for both teams, and thatβs perfectly normal. Our key players should be Dan Crowley and Jodi Jones to supply the chances. I wouldnβt doubt Sam Austin making it to the starting lineup; he injects a lot of energy going forward. Though I do suspect Jatta and Cedwyn Scott.

So What Changed ? Lambs To Magpies.
βThe Lambsβ doesnβt quite hit the mark as a club nickname. With the alteration in kit colours and other clubs carving out their own identities, it seemed logical to transition to βThe Magpiesβ.

The future of my YouTube channel
Your post touched me deeply @ARLukomski. I can see how much thought and emotion youβve put into your YouTube channel. It's completely normal to feel burnout, especially when you're putting so much of yourself out there. I agree with what others have mentioned about taking a break. Maybe a hiatus is what's needed for you to find that spark again. You might come back with a fresh perspective and renewed energy. Remember, it's not about the quantity, but the quality and authenticity of your content. Your fans appreciate your genuine approach, and thatβs what makes your channel special.
