  1. I hope you enjoy every moment with your beautiful baby boy. Congratulations!
  2. Jodi Jones is a sensational player who can turn the game around with his skill and vision. He’s got a lot of flair and intelligence and he can score some stunning goals. He was one of the most exciting players in the league during his loan spell and I’m overjoyed that he’s signed for Notts County permanently.
  3. Jodi Jones is a brilliant addition to our squad. He’s got everything you want from a modern winger: speed, flair, creativity and end product. He impressed me a lot during his loan spell and I’m sure he’ll continue to do so. He’s a bargain at this price and a great investment for the future
  4. The reactions of both Charlie Slater and Mark Stallard are so relatable to us fans. It’s exactly what we want to see from people who are passionate about the club.
  5. Top-flight clubs have taken notice of Macaulay Langstaff’s outstanding performances. It would be a tremendous advantage for us to retain him for our first season.
  6. I thought it would be helpful to summarise the article to make it easier to understand. The club is proud of their achievement at Wembley on Saturday. Commiserations are offered to Chesterfield and thanks for their gracious messages of congratulations. The team displayed mental and physical fortitude in the play-off campaign. The players lifted the trophy in front of 22,500 supporters. Jason Turner’s flag was on display and his photo was held by the players on the pitch. The boardroom will be renamed in Jason Turner’s honour from the start of the 2023-24 campaign. The club has made progress off the field, with attendances at their highest in recent history. Season ticket sales have been strong and are expected to receive the highest uptake of their tenure so far. Renovations on the Meadow Lane playing surface are underway and a new state-of-the-art PA system is being installed. The club is going through the necessary processes to determine which players will still be with them when the new campaign comes around. Planning for life in League Two had begun long before promotion was secured. Several key figures from this season’s squad are out of contract but efforts are being made to maintain a strong nucleus of a side that has achieved so much. Promotion strengthens the club’s position in the transfer market and consolidates other areas of the club, including their academy which will benefit from a significant increase in funding. While it all seems very positive, reading between the lines regarding players out of contract suggests that some may end up on the released list due to rejecting offers. I hope I’m wrong, but that’s the impression I get. The majority of these players are important in my opinion.
  7. Many happy returns, Chris! I hope you enjoyed your birthday.
  8. I hope that Notts can do a Luton or even replicate what Neil Warnock did for Notts when he joined as manager.
  9. Yes, those are some good photos! Nice piece by the Nottingham Post.
  10. I truly hope that Ross Fitzsimons can turn his game around and improve. He has shown potential in the past and it would be great to see him reach it.
  11. It’s interesting to hear Williams’ thoughts on Wrexham and Stockport. It’s clear that he has a lot of respect for these teams and their performances in the National League and League Two.
  12. After four years, Notts County Football Club has achieved a good outcome. This could have been vastly different if not for the efforts of the club's owners and employees. The Reedtz brothers have invested wisely in hiring a proper coaching setup and making two managerial appointments, which has helped to steady the foundations of the club. Another huge benefit has been the recruitment policy. I have enjoyed watching the football played in the National League and the club has been successful in every season.
  13. The creativity and thoughtfulness that went into writing the note to their dad is truly heartwarming.
  14. There is no greater feeling than achieving a victory like that, especially after being 2-0 down and enduring the gloating of their players. Listening to their fans sing chants that, in retrospect, make them look foolish - yes, everyone does it, but they only did it while they were winning. Boreham Wood supporters could learn from us and sing more consistently throughout the entire 90 minutes.
  15. Compared to the standards of this year, the first half was quite dreadful and, at times, downright awful. However, when considering all the dreadful squads that Notts has had over the years, it wasn't that terrible. If Woking had scored, we might have had grounds for complaints, but the game was rather evenly matched. It's challenging to find fault with a 3-0 home victory, a clean sheet, and a satisfactory overall performance.
  16. I'm more surprised the club managed to secure the deal for his services, but I didn't think he would turn out to be such an important signing.
  17. If it's scrappy due to the weather conditions, so be it but it would be a shame to see the game called off. I can only see it happening due to heavy rain and the pitch not holding up, Meadow Lane has done well with that this season.
  18. The Notts squad stepped up, one issue about the performance is those who will moan if its not repeated, rather than just enjoying this win. All the goals were of excellent quality, I thought Notts could have scored more. They kept the tempo for the most part and made Chesterfield work. Very poor team, their keeper played a shocking game.
  19. Good write up @Alexlevy0908, thanks for sharing.
  20. There has been a lot of games recently, the form has mostly been good even if performances have dipped at times. It's a good point. Ardley has something to build on with the focus turning to Meadow Lane.
  21. This could be a deciding game this season, win it and gain some ground on the top 5 places.
  22. He has pressure on his shoulders which need not be there, what with the fans who think they know everything and a manager who hasn't used the media to tell what he can do to improve. The rumour going round about players who Ardley hasn't signed being forced out doesn't help to build morale. Bad PR all round but the fact Tootle has to address matters which the media seems uninterested says how shocking the news around this club can be.
  23. Come on lads, keep up the momentum and put in another good performance.
  24. Good game, Notts played well and looked lively throughout the game. I think if there was some better finishing, Notts could have won comfortably.
