Great read, @TheSkipper. I think you have perfectly written how the new players are fitting in with Notts and how they have strengthened the team. I wonder if more fans feel happier now in hindsight with the recruits? I remember people complaining on social media about Curtis Edwards being a ‘squad signing’. I do think Robbie Cundy is looking more like someone who will be pushed further back once other players become fully fit, but he’s done well at this level. He was a bit poor in the League Cup game against Shrewsbury, and I’m trying to be polite.

Great insight into Bromley! For those of us attending the game, it will be interesting to see how well Bromley defend and how Notts react to their play. They have done well since coming up, and I was pleased when they got promoted. Notts shouldn’t find the game too hard, as I believe we have the quality and players to cause them trouble. If Notts are strong defensively, it could be like the Tranmere game.

Our away performances so far have been reasonable. The win against Swindon Town gave us the boost we needed. It would be ideal to get another win on the road, but I think this would require some key players to be 100% fit for selection. Players like Dan Crowley and Jodi Jones. I think the squad would be fine without them but much better with them. If we are to create scoring chances, we need to make sure our strikers aren’t fatigued or tired. I would definitely have David McGoldrick starting, but I am hopeful Jatta will make his return.

Can anyone else name more players? Let’s stick with one for now, but I have a feeling this might lead to more soon. Adam Coombes ✔️ Myles Weston ✔️ Richard Brindley ✔️ Conor Parsons ✔️ Lartey Sarpong ✔️ Kyle De Silva ✔️

We are back for another round of MAGnets! This time, we will be playing Bromley FC at Hayes Lane on the 14th of September 2024. The player I will start this round with might not have been the best technically, but he was a top person off the field and always had a smile on his face. He currently plays for Rochdale, but before he played for Notts, he played for Bromley. It's none other than Tobi Adebayo-Rowling. Let's stick to naming one at a time for now, please. So, we can see how many members can contribute to this. Here is the match discussion too. Will be added once live. Please feel free to join in, but let's stick with one guess to start things off. This might be a harder round!

I'm very happy for Jodi Jones, but I'm surprised that Dan Crowley wasn't chosen. I think Crowley has been just as good, or even better, but maybe they didn't want to choose two players from the same club. At least Jodi was chosen, and it's important for him to represent Notts. So, I'm very happy about Jodi's selection, but I'm also a little surprised.

Stuart Maynard is doing a very good job. We have balanced the absences and have shown that the squad has depth, even with some players leaving. I think the start is important, because maintaining this level of performance would help Notts to progress and stay at the higher end of the table. I am not getting carried away, as I know that form can change. However, I am encouraged by how strong we are defensively. Notts County has also proven that they can score goals.

The result and clean sheet are very important. I agree. I think the unbeaten start is often overlooked. It shows that the pre-season worries were nonsense. Accrington Stanley weren't at their best. We played well and were determined to win. It was a professional performance. They seemed to be struggling to create good chances, at least not enough to threaten Alex Bass seriously.

I liked your quoted message @Chris, it was nice to see the photo of @magpiejue and her mum. The Faces of PON is a really good thing.

This is a great article about Paul Devlin, a former Notts player. I like reading about former players because it helps me understand their impact at Meadow Lane. He seems to be a popular player among fans, and I've seen him interacting with fans on social media. I've seen him play for Birmingham City on Sky Sports, and he looked skilled and difficult to play against.

I was thinking the same thing. It's better to address any potential negativity proactively. While the club shouldn't always do this, we've started the season quite well, so I believe addressing this issue is beneficial. The board's statement provides insight into their thoughts, and most fans will appreciate it.

I'm really excited for the game against Accrington. Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley have been playing fantastically, and our defence has been rock solid. They've been working hard to shut down opponents and keep the ball out of our net. I'm particularly impressed with how well our defenders have been communicating and positioning themselves. With Jodi and Dan in form, we have a real attacking threat. They've been creating chances and scoring goals at a consistent rate. I'm confident that they can continue to perform at a high level and help us secure a victory. I'm also looking forward to seeing the crowd get behind the lads. The atmosphere at Meadow Lane is always electric, and I know the fans will be cheering us on from start to finish. If we can play to our potential and get the crowd behind us, I believe we can achieve a positive result.

I agree with Liam. Notts weren't outclassed. We had a lot of possession and defended very well. Both teams had chances, but Notts were able to score, and that's football. I'm happy for Stuart Maynard about his start to this season. I really want him to succeed and get more support. If we can continue and more fans come, we could create a similar atmosphere to the one that helped us get promoted from the National League. The club is progressing nicely. It's good to have this positive feeling around Notts.

The result was pleasing. Notts came back and showed determination in defending and attacking. We kept Swindon Town off, who really wanted a result. It's good to see Notts work hard to win. We don't always have to play beautiful football. This league is about getting results, and we did that yesterday.

I don't think David McGoldrick needs to worry. He scored two important goals and helped Notts win. He's been good so far this season. I thought he started last season well, but he drifted off towards the middle when we struggled. We can win without being at our best. I agree, he didn't have a bad game at all.

Please feel free to finish this by naming as many other MAGnet players between Notts and Swindon Town. I meant to do this yesterday, but real life got in the way. Updated List of Players: Colin Calderwood ✔️ Stephen Darby ✔️ Mark Yates ✔️ Kaiyne Woolery ✔️ Brian Kilcline ✔️ Drissa Traoré ✔️ Wes Thomas ✔️ Alan Sheehan ✔️ Matt Palmer ✔️ Paul Rideout ✔️ Thank you to everyone who has guessed so far. Please look out for future topics as we take on teams away from home.

George Abbott seems like the kind of young player who will do well playing for the first team regularly. If we can give him a chance to get comfortable and grow in whatever role he plays for us, it will be interesting to see how it turns out and if he can help us become a promotion contender. I am quite happy with this signing, even though it is a loan.

I have not been watching, but I have seen the news and I am pleased for Team GB. I agree with the comments about how it is inspiring to see such a good turnout and results in terms of medals won.

It has been a bit lacklustre from Notts' perspective, but I am happy overall. George Abbott sounds like a promising player, and if we can make that work, it will be exciting to see. I think it has been a fairly average transfer window in truth.

Good luck in retirement, Paul Hart. You have been a big part of football and giving young players a chance.

They will take longer to proof things in the future. I do feel a bit sorry about the mistake because it does become a laughingstock.

A good footballer will score goals in this Notts squad. It is about ability and if they can understand our play well enough to create chances. He seems very athletic and strong. I am not very interested in his previous record. I am only concerned about how he will perform at Notts. It is a loan, so if he does not commit or do well, we lose nothing. But we could gain if he does thrive in our environment.

He seems switched on and ready to start playing for our first team. Notts is a great club to learn and get experience. He seemed very good, so I hope he enjoys his time here. His first game at Meadow Lane will show him what our fans are like.

George Abbott is a good loan signing. We can help him play for the first team. If he does well, he can go back to Spurs or find another club to play for. He seems very talented and should do well.
