Joshua

I am prepared to see how he does in a team that is built to succeed together, rather than individual stars aimed at pushing a team like Salford City closer to their highest position in the EFL. He looked a real handful, so I just hope he can help keep us in League One and, in time, push us further.

Good signings. I am happy with the transfer window, but I would have liked serious competition for James Belshaw. He is a good keeper, but sometimes a little slow and prone to focusing on the wrong part of the game. I am happy with him as our number one, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think Harry Griffiths is going to challenge him.

I won’t say anything bad about Kelle Roos. He tried and did his best. It’s a shame that Notts has wasted money on his wages and then had to terminate his contract, but it shows that sometimes recruitment isn’t perfect, and that’s normal. Roos was decent around the club, but he wasn’t going to be our number one. I do think the club should have signed another keeper before the transfer window shut.

Ollie Cooper has been very classy since arriving, and I think he deserves it, even with an honourable mention for Cal Roberts.

The older players mentioned in the article were before my time, but I still understood the point Graham was making. Every generation seems to have a few players that supporters remember differently from the rest. It is not always the player with the best statistics either. Sometimes it is somebody who produced one moment that stayed with you or simply played in a way that made going to a match more exciting. That is where Cal fits for me. You know there is a risk that he gives the ball away, but there is also a chance he does something nobody else on the pitch has seen. Modern football can become very organised and careful, so having someone willing to break that pattern is refreshing.

Hello, welcome @KatrinaPIE. You’ve found Pride of Nottingham, enjoy the community and share your voice.

Some very good players have been mentioned, but I agree with those who think the club will wait until January. We usually spend money in the transfer window, and I am not expecting or demanding that we do. It is just that we signed Jatta in January, along with Mai Traore and Will Jarvis, all for respectable fees at this level and in League One. I think the club will be looking for the right player to bring in. Still, there are many on this list who I would love to see join us.

Rest in Peace, Dickie Bird. One of the few names I am aware of from the cricket scene, and I think it speaks for itself that.

I watched the match through the red button on Sky and thought Notts started well. It felt like one of those games where we would score early and then take control. Crewe had a few tidy moments, but I wasn’t worried until they scored from a corner. That goal seemed to unsettle us and change how we played. Crewe had a good spell for about ten to fifteen minutes after their goal. During that time, we looked sloppy and struggled to get back into the rhythm of the game. Once Notts found their footing again, they were clearly the better side over the full ninety minutes. Crewe were physical, with elbows flying, pushing and falling to the ground, but they did offer something going forward. They looked sharp on the counter, and Martin Paterson needs to find a way to help Notts stay solid by attacking more, rather than letting the pressure build through corners. It was gutting to lose to a penalty, especially when we had two clear shouts ourselves that could have changed the outcome. James Golding and Jack Lankester were lucky to stay on the pitch. Golding should have been sent off after three separate offences. He elbowed Scott Robertson, shoved Jodi off the ball, kicked him on purpose, and pulled Alassana Jatta’s shirt so hard he couldn’t move. The referee saw it was a foul but didn’t show a card. Lankester also hit and kicked Robertson, then tried to make it look like Robertson was the one at fault. I hope Notts reports both incidents to the FA. Positives: Good performance away from home Tyrese Hall is starting to settle in Jodi looked back to his best Nick Tsaroulla scored a brilliant goal Notts played the better football overall Negatives: Gave away a soft penalty Lacked sharpness in front of goal Poor marking for Crewe’s first goal Slow to respond after conceding early on

I think it's better to look at the gesture in terms of what it means for the club, rather than how it might affect us as fans. That gives a more balanced and fair view. When you take away the emotional side and focus on the club itself, people tend to think more clearly. It helps to see things as they are, not just how they feel. I believe it's a positive move. I don't see it as a way to silence fans or stop criticism. The Reedtz brothers are clever businessmen, and writing off £10 million shows they care about the club before anything else.

I hope we can move on from the Gillingham match and show that we’re improving, especially at home. It’s important to start picking up wins again and build some confidence. Notts don’t need to say we have to win ugly or play well every time. I just want to see progress and let the football speak for itself. Crawley should be a good test for Martin Paterson. I think they’ll make the first half tricky, and we’ll need to use the bench well in the second half to keep control and push for the result.

It’s hard to read some of the things being said about the Reedtz brothers, especially after everything the club has been through. We’ve had so many setbacks and disappointments over the years, and now we’re finally in a place that feels hopeful. Even though the season didn’t start well, I’ve always believed the squad has real quality. The players care, and you can see that in how they play and how they carry themselves. It’s not just about talent, it’s about heart, and I think we’ve got that. What matters most is that the club is in the hands of people who understand football. They might not always get every decision right, or know the perfect route to success, but their commitment to making things better is clear. I believe their long-term plan will pay off. I find it frustrating when people call for them to leave just because we’re not climbing the leagues fast enough. We’re not owed anything, we have to work for it, together. Progress takes time, and I’d rather build something strong than chase quick fixes.

Shola Ameobi. Before he joined us in 2017, he was playing for Fleetwood Town. Even that felt strange at the time. It was hard to believe a former Premier League striker like Ameobi had ended up there.

I’ve only ever known one train station in Nottingham, and I don’t like what they did to it when they fixed it up. It used to look really nice, but now it feels like they’ve mixed in new styles that don’t match the old building. It looks a bit messy now. It’s easier for taxis, parking and dropping people off, which is good. But they’ve messed up how the station looks, and that’s a shame. Trying to catch a train there can be really annoying. Sometimes they change the platform just five minutes before it leaves, and it makes everything stressful. I don’t understand why Nottingham is so bad at this. Other places seem to manage better.
