    It would be a huge help right now, but thankfully, the club has some fans who are showing their support in tough times rather than making things worse. Stuart Maynard really needs a win. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring his first home victory, and we can progress from there.

    Stuart Maynard hasn’t been praised enough for his hard work. He’s listened to us fans and tried our ideas, but player errors have cost us. It’s not really his fault. Our form is shaky, and we risk losing our footing and slipping further. The match against Wimbledon is our chance to correct course. Winning boosts morale, while repeated losses can really damage team spirit and that’s tough to turn around.

    There were moments when we longed to see more of Sam Austin. He’s a skilled player and his occasional dips in form were understandable, given he was often plugging gaps in our team. Despite this, it’s tough not to think about starting him. He’s not afraid to take on opponents, he always pushes forward, and his main aim is to create opportunities. Since returning to the squad, he’s been truly impressive.

    I mainly use Facebook for family and catching up with friends, Twitter for news and PON. Of course, PON, BBC, Sky Sports, YouTube, Netflix, Notts County’s Official Site, The Football League, Premier League and other sports sites are my go-to online destinations.

    That seems like a brilliant idea, though I’m not quite sold on the name “memory club”. I reckon there are more imaginative options that could sound better. I hope it brings joy to the fans, particularly the older ones who doze off in the Pavis during matches. Just pulling your leg, it’s nice to see the club thinking forward.

    I don’t believe either team will keep a clean sheet in the match, but I do think there will only be three goals scored and it will depend on who copes with the stress better. Notts needs to concentrate and avoid conceding simple goals, like penalties and opportunities from bad marking. AFC Wimbledon are a decent team at this level, but I’d still prefer our squad. I hope the players can concentrate on the game and overcome any obstacles that come their way.

    I’m hopeful that this is just a temporary phase. Most supporters are fantastic, and while I don’t blame them for booing, I personally wouldn’t do it. I agree that we’re going through a tough time, but the situation with Jamie Fullarton was completely different. As a younger fan, it makes me appreciate where we are now and what our current owners are trying to achieve. We’ve had some bad luck this season, especially with the loss of Luke Williams, but I’m committed to giving my full support.

    Gordon Banks’ save was truly extraordinary, his ability to keep England in the match while making saves like that was remarkable. It never ceases to amaze me, England has had some outstanding goalkeepers over the years.

    The Notts Women’s team need to start improving their performance. I’m not sure how many teams in their division get relegated, but I hope they can turn their season around. Consistent losses and draws can always put you at risk of dropping into the relegation zone.

    The problem isn’t so much with VAR itself, but rather with the individuals who are officiating and supervising it. The mistakes are still due to human error, because of how incidents are interpreted. When a referee or match official can reach a different conclusion, it suggests that there’s still a lot to be done to fine-tune the errors that can arise from ambiguous situations in football.

    Hello, @ShannockPie. Welcome to PON. I hope to see you join in with our discussions.
  13. Joshua
    Jim O’Brien did provide a temporary solution, but I don’t believe we can depend on him or David McGoldrick to address our deficiencies solely based on their past experiences. John Bostock has the potential to be an excellent player. I believe it would be a top priority to help him regain his best form as he provides significant support in our defence.
  14. Joshua
    I don’t believe that dismissing Stuart Maynard would make a difference. The subsequent manager would have to work with the same team, and form isn’t something that can be altered swiftly without effort. A lot of this effort needs to come from the players themselves to begin seeing the necessary improvements. I’m not concerned about this season; my focus is on backing the club and hoping for the best.
  15. Joshua
    Given our current form, it seems highly unlikely that we’ll be able to fight for a playoff spot. I don’t think it’s going to happen and I’d rather see Notts strive to end the season as well as possible. We might manage to move up the table, but our main aim should be to finish above the mid-point if we want to attract good players next season.
  16. Joshua
    Are you catching everything that’s happening, @Fan of Big Tone? You might be supporting the wrong sport considering this. I hope you get better soon! As for me, I won’t be at the Notts game this weekend. I plan to find something else to occupy my time. On Sunday, I don’t have any specific plans, but I might see if anyone I know fancies a kickabout, weather permitting.
  17. Joshua
    We’re hopeful that Jodi Jones’ performance could kick-start the results Notts require, but we can’t rely on just one player. The defence needs to step up, but regardless, it’s been a good season for Jodi Jones in terms of attack.
  18. Joshua
    This is our first season back in the football league and there are several areas where we need to get better. Notts had a fantastic start which saw them climb to the top, but there are reasons for our current struggles. For me, it’s not about Stuart Maynard. I think Luke Williams leaving, in retrospect, is a tough situation to handle and even though Maynard seems like a good replacement, the players are undoubtedly under a lot of mental stress which could affect their concentration. Right now, we’re in a bit of a dip, but I believe Notts can start to climb again. However, it will need us fans who are ready to look past the disappointment.

    Happy belated birthday, @super_ram.

    The emphasis must be on improving our defence. I didn’t believe Sutton deserved their lead, but they secured it, and that’s what determines matches. I thought Notts did well to re-enter the game, despite the terrible errors at the back. It demonstrated some resilience, but regardless of the circumstances, Sutton knew they could retake the lead. They can revel in this victory; it won’t prevent their relegation. Terrible winners, but they aimed to turn our fans against our players, which was achieved with ease.
  21. Joshua
    The fan zone appears thrilling, and it demonstrates that the club isn’t just sitting idle. I understand that some people will naturally want this money to be invested in the squad, but over time it could generate funds to make a difference. There must be a balance between investing in the squad and infrastructure. The timing of this could have been better, but it’s a fantastic option.
  22. Joshua
    It’s tough to predict when our next victory will occur, but it can’t come soon enough. Bradford has made significant progress since our last encounter, but Notts must disregard recent performance and use it as a learning experience. If we want to prevent losing another manager, which would be an additional setback, this is the match that can demonstrate to the fans that their support is both valued and necessary. Regrettably, I foresee a draw, 2-2, due to our tendency to concede too easily.
  23. Joshua
    I appreciate that Stuart Maynard recognises the threat that Crewe poses with their ability to change formation, but we’re no different. We’ve looked good once we adjust and tweak things. I reckon if you sit back and trust that the tactics you started with are enough to finish a game, it can lead to disappointment. I’m sure strong teams can stick to their plan, but being able to respond to a threat is just as crucial.
  24. Joshua
    It’s encouraging to see him receiving commendation while at Rochdale. His experience there, along with his time in the Irish premier league, is valuable. We’re handling his development well, but there comes a point when we need to halt the loans and provide him with real match experience. I concur that I hope this happens more next season.
  25. Joshua
    He seemed tense in his latest press conference, but I believe the indications are encouraging. However, we need to start achieving better results. The performances are mostly satisfactory, and I have no complaints about how the defence has improved, except for the Gillingham match. I don’t hold Stuart Maynard responsible for that. I’m hopeful that we’ll defeat Crewe and maintain a good form, especially as the season is drawing to a close.
