That must have been quite a painful experience, making his comeback to football all the more significant. I hope the upcoming season treats him well.

If the stock is available, I envision many fans donning this shirt on match days, which I believe would be spectacular. Imagine the brilliance of seeing fans in The Nest and KOP all wearing the same shirt, particularly the latest one. I understand it’s a costly expense, which some might not be able to afford, but I can’t help but picture how fantastic the stands would look with fans in this shirt.

It’s always distressing to see a valued member leave your club. Connell Rawlinson has been a solid defender for us over several seasons and has contributed to Notts’ success. As we’ve improved, it’s regrettable that his skills haven’t been able to match the pace. Despite this, he departs Meadow Lane as a beloved figure.

I believe the current prices are for premium events, so I can’t envision the club charging Notts fans these rates on match days. At least, that’s what I’ve heard, and it seems logical. It wouldn’t make sense to charge Notts fans those prices for league games. Therefore, I’m quite content with The Nest. It’s genuinely a nice place.

I sincerely hope we can retain him for this season. Advancing to League One could be a significant milestone. Although a substantial transfer fee could further Notts’ progress, I believe he holds greater value to us. I’m hopeful that Notts will turn down the offer and that Macaulay Langstaff remains content and dedicated to us.

Being a part of the Pride of Nottingham has boosted my confidence. There are so many members whose views on Notts matters I eagerly await. It certainly fosters a sense of community. When I joined as a young teenager, I mostly kept to myself. However, being invited to moderate was one of my proudest moments here.

Curtis Edwards’ comments have been very positive. The more I hear and read about him, the more excited I become about his signing. He appears to be a strong player and his calm demeanour should complement his teammates like Matt Palmer well. Hopefully, Scott Robertson can also find some calmness with both of them around him.

It’s going to be fantastic to see Matt Palmer back on the football pitch. He’s a crucial part of the squad and he deals with that pressure effortlessly. His composure and determination on the field are impressive, so it’s no surprise he’s managed during his injury. I reckon in his mind, he was still playing every ball he saw. That passion is just second nature to him. Congratulations, Matt Palmer on your engagement.

Curtis Edwards is a competent player who has built his career abroad. His signing has taken me by surprise, but considering our ambitions and the peak of his career, it makes sense. Settling in Nottingham or returning to England seems like a logical step.

I'm not saying this to be negative, as I think it's a superb signing. It might not be the most glamorous, but don't doubt for a second what he brings. He's a quality player and speaks very well. Once he puts on our shirt and gets a few games, those doubters should love him.

This is precisely the kind of signing we require, not solely due to his experience or the number of EFL matches he’s played, but also his stature and mindset. The club is doing a commendable job in introducing voices on the field, Rod McDonald will undoubtedly interact effectively with his colleagues. I believe it’s a splendid acquisition.

The Reedtz have truly begun to revamp Meadow Lane, their efforts are making Notts fans proud and steering us back to the Football League. They are certainly not lacking in ambition. It’s wonderful to witness their investment and the tireless work that the ground staff are putting in. The club still has the vibe that it can achieve great things, so it’s an exhilarating time at the moment.

Without a doubt, our pitch is among the finest in the English Football League. We’re truly lucky to have owners who are putting their resources in the right places. They’re supported by an amazing team of ground staff. These dedicated individuals work non-stop to ensure we have the best playing surface possible. It’s truly wonderful to witness!

For all the good things the Reedtz family continue to do, the least we can do is support the team and hope for a good start. I fully back Stuart Maynard; he's a nice guy, and I hope the stronger defence shows he can lead the club forward. Either way, I'm excited and looking forward to the season.

Hello, @Scotty. It's good to be welcoming you to the community here. Please continue to get involved with PON. It's part of the fun!

The club has put in a great deal of effort to recruit the right players to address a few areas we fell short in last season. With a nearly revamped defence, our strength in both attack and defence is quite exceptional. Many League Two teams would likely be envious of having Nick Tsaroulla, and we’re fortunate to have him on our side now.

It's very sad news about Matija Sarkic. Rest in Peace.

Rest in Peace, Kevin Campbell.

With only five games left, it would be pleasant to end up in the middle of the table or slightly above. Given that we have more games away than at home, I believe we stand a good chance of securing some victories. It’s always a surprise to see how much better we perform on the road these days. I anticipate a tight game as they are familiar with our style of play, which could pose a challenge. However, if we dominate the attacks, I believe we have the quality to pull off a surprise. I have high hopes for Macaulay Langstaff and Alessandra Jata. Personally, I wouldn’t field David McGoldrick or John Bostock from the start as their performances have been problematic. Their brilliance hasn’t been on display for some time, and considering McGoldrick is likely our top earner, we should expect more from him. I believe we are more likely to see this if he comes off the bench in this game, rather than playing for 70 minutes.

It is hoped that Rishi Sunak will soon become a forgotten figure, much like a humorous cartoon. The upcoming elections are likely not something he is eagerly anticipating. It is my hope that this time, people will cast their votes with wisdom.

I found the game enjoyable. MK Dons took their opportunities, even though they didn’t seem particularly impressive until they scored. Their goal was beautiful, but it was a pity that their player behaved so unprofessionally with his celebrations and antics. He should have been sent off, not just for that, but also for several fouls he committed during the game. I didn’t see them causing us any trouble, and I thought that us scoring a goal just before the end of the first half would give us a boost going into the second half. It seemed like the players had been spoken to, as they came out with more determination. I also disagree with Stuart Maynard. I thought we performed better in the second half than in the first, but overall it was a good performance. Aaron Nemane can be a shadow of himself, but when he gets into the game, he’s unstoppable. I wish Jodi Jones would work on his crossing, as many of them tend to be overhit and end up being wasteful. Adam Chicksen setting up Jatta was a real highlight. That was a great goal to celebrate. It was typical of Notts to collapse at crucial moments, with individual mistakes costing us the full amount of points. The players should take confidence from having played well against MK Dons, a team that believes they are much bigger than they actually are.

This is a positive development that demonstrates the unity found in sports, not just football. It’s truly extraordinary to give Sven the opportunity to lead the team he supports.

In my opinion, Notts needs to play intelligently. It was fascinating to observe how much ball possession Notts had in the match against Crawley. I don’t believe that having 80% or a high amount of possession is a bad thing, but Notts needs to utilise it more effectively. If we are taking risks to advance and consequently losing the ball more frequently, then so be it. Notts just needs to be more strategic in their approach to the game. I hope Sam Austin stays in the team, and I believe most players should start from the Crawley game. We need Jodi Jones to really push forward and attempt to take shots when the play opens up. This advice applies to all the players.

As a manager or head coach, you have to be cautious about certain decisions. I wouldn’t entirely blame Maynard, but there’s a point to be made. Robertson came with a fiery reputation, and if you see players losing their cool in games, it’s best to substitute them. The sending off was Robertson’s fault, and it turned the result against us. However, Maynard might need to consider these situations. If several players are already on a yellow card, it’s harder to decide who to take off to avoid suspensions. If you leave someone on who has a yellow card, then you risk them being sent off. Notts had three players on a yellow card: Robertson, O’Brien, and Slocombe. O’Brien is experienced enough to ensure he won’t be sent off, despite his physical style of play. Slocombe wasn’t likely to see red. Robertson, being young and fiery, always seemed a risk that would warrant a tactical decision to take him out of the game. Crawley had five yellow cards. Forster and Gordon, who both looked highly likely to receive another card, were taken out of the game. Lolos and Mukena remained, and then Maguire received a yellow card after coming on. I repeat, I wouldn’t completely point the finger at Maynard, but it’s a fair argument that we should have considered substituting Robertson.

Scott Robertson’s dismissal was a big blow to Notts, whether he deserved the second yellow card or not. In his position, he needs to be cautious. Some blame might fall on Stuart Maynard for not substituting him, but who else do we have who can fill this role without it being a weak spot? It could be argued that whoever replaced him could have been targeted for being out of position. That’s why we need a larger squad with more depth. It’s very disappointing, but I’m happy for Sam Austin. He’s earned his spot and has been patient. Right now, he seems to be a threat to the opposition and adds a positive dimension to our game.
