  1. I don't think David McGoldrick deserved Man of the Match. Even he seemed to disagree, shaking his head at the decision. Will Jarvis was quiet in the first half, almost unnoticeable, but much better in the second half. Charlie Whitaker was excellent until he was subbed off, which was a puzzling decision. Whitaker would be my pick for Man of the Match.
  2. Rest in peace, George Foreman. It's truly sad to hear about the passing of such a great boxer.
  3. Blaming the referee distracts from the fact that Notts simply wasn't clinical in front of goal. If Notts had created more chances or converted some of them, the referee's decisions wouldn't have been such a talking point. While there were some questionable calls, we need to win matches by scoring goals, not relying on penalties. At times, it felt like the focus was too much on drawing fouls in the penalty area instead of taking shots. Notts weren't terrible, but they looked more like a mid-table team than one pushing for promotion.
  4. After Alan Hardy put the club up for sale, BBC News did a segment where Iris Smith from the Supporters Club spoke on camera. They also spoke with a scruffy man in a suit reportedly from The Trust. I don't want to sound personal when I say scruffy, but his hair was a mess, and he looked as if he sleeps in his suit. He didn't say much of interest, and I don't think his opinion is relevant to the general fan. I am sure he's a nice person, but aside from his scruffy appearance, he did not seem to know a lot about Notts, at least about what was going on right now.
  5. Yes, George Abbott was class yesterday. If we had maintained the first half's level of control, the game would have been seen out better. But credit to Fleetwood; they made a real game of it and gave us a scare when they took the lead. Good side, we just needed to be a bit more organised at the back.
  6. I would have hung onto Josh Martin, at least by extending his stay until the rest of the season. Jevani Brown needed to play more regularly in my eyes, but for some reason we just didn't give him enough time in my eyes. He arrived out of favour, low on morale and both players just seem like a wasted opportunity.
  7. David McGoldrick gets my vote, another fine display of his experience and talent.

  9. It's important that youngsters get played, so I do hope he thrives during this point where he will be played due to the injuries within our team and by the point we are back to full strength he will be ready to fight more having become settled within the first team. It is good that players around him are supporting him, he could be the future of this team. So, I hope he continues to improve and enjoy his game time. A few goals would be nice too, especially if he had the chance to celebrate them.

  11. Notts could have easily fallen into Peterborough's game plan, given their speed and quality. They executed it well at the start, building momentum. However, Cedwyn Scott and Matty Platt responded brilliantly by scoring, putting us ahead. I didn't think this was possible early on, and while Notts had to be patient when attacking, they performed superbly against a team that could easily be lower Championship level. I don't want to give Peterborough more credit than they deserve because Notts looked capable of winning, but the substitutions didn't help. The only major concern is the potential injury to Platt.
  12. Is this a record amount of votes? Keep voting everyone!
  13. I voted for George Abbott because I think he put in a solid shift. He performed better than most players on the pitch, including Peterborough's team. I thought his goal was just the icing on the cake of what was an excellent performance.
  14. I wanted to vote for Nick Tsaroulla because he has worked so hard since joining the squad. However, I chose George Abbott because I feel he's been more consistent in games.
  15. Feeling excited about today's game! Peterborough will be wanting to please their home support and Notts can make that an advantage by controlling the midfield, staying tight and passing the ball carefully. We have a lot of positives going into the game and a good cup run would be great, but first we have to prove ourselves worthy of being in the 3rd round. Their manager has made comments about us being a good team, but already seems to think they have progressed before the game has played. We have to show them that we can't be underestimated.
  16. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Jon Lowe. It's great to have you here, I you hope enjoy PON.

  18. It sounds like a very good idea. I think there's potential to make the newsletters stand out and encourage people to visit the site. I really hope Notts fans connect with it because PON deserves it.
  19. He is a good player. I hope signing for Woking has given him a new lease of life in the time he has left in football. His time at Notts will always be remembered for the brilliance he brought to the pitch.
  20. Partick Thistle will hopefully survive. It shows the current situation in football, not just in the UK but worldwide, where clubs are struggling to balance their books. It's not always due to recklessness, but changes in attendance and other factors. It's a shame, but I hope they survive.
  21. The squad and performance don't worry me. I just hope we give a good account of ourselves and provide a real challenge. Early rounds of the FA Cup might be undervalued, but since it's the first time we've reached this stage in a while, I'm going to make the most of it. I think Peterborough might rest some of their players, but we still need to be at our best. I wouldn't rush Dan Crowley into the first team, but bringing him on would be good to see. It depends on his fitness levels.
  22. I understand the decision, but I doubt anyone would seriously leave Twitter permanently because there will always be more people on Twitter. All it's doing is diluting the support base. The only exception is if Elon Musk continues to ruin Twitter X.com.
  23. It feels like the start of the year again, wondering when the summer would come, but now it's winter and much gloomier. It's likely to stay this way for longer, so buckle up, keep warm, and make sure to stay inside when it gets worse if you can.
  24. I agree, the sponsors chose the right man of the match today. Even without their support, George Abbott earned my vote as well. I think he should be the PON Man of the Match against Newport County, but we’ll have to see what the voting says.
