    Judging by today’s performance, it’s clear that there’s potential for further improvement. Stockport County has proven themselves to be a formidable team in this league. I don’t particularly enjoy bringing budgets into the conversation as they don’t provide a fair basis for comparison. It’s the performance that truly counts. Being the home team would have certainly given them a leg up. So, it’s encouraging to see signs of progress despite this advantage.

    If we take today’s performance as an indicator, I believe we can keep getting better. Stockport County is a strong team in this league. I’m not fond of discussing budgets as it’s not a fair comparison. Performance is what truly matters. Being the home team would have given them an advantage, so I’m happy to see signs of improvement.

    The only explanation could be that they view the statistic as a point of pride. Perhaps they believe it indicates progress, or, more delusional, they might think the officials are of a higher standard than they actually are. I’m not sure, as stats can be interpreted in various ways.

    Hello! Great to be welcoming you to the Pride of Nottingham @StanfordPie. It's nice to see you are already joining in, make yourself at home.

    We need to recognise our current situation and put an end to the drama. If the players can address what’s hindering us, a positive outcome is all we need. I doubt this will happen against a strong Stockport County, but I’m weary of the constant negativity as if we’re facing relegation.
  7. Joshua
    We needed a faster player in defence. Hopefully, with his addition and further development, we will see more from him. Lewis Macari is an exceptional talent, and I’m delighted that he has joined us permanently.

    It’s just me and my parents, no real change but a day where we try to just chat, watch a film or two, and enjoy snacks.

    Go ahead, if I’m not already on the list, feel free to add my email to it.

    I’m scared of losing, and so would most people given how well Stockport County are performing. It would be fantastic to achieve something, and I agree it could boost our confidence. I don’t think we need to fret if we lose, but hopefully, we’ll see signs of progress and determination.

    I stayed at home over the weekend, I didn’t visit Harrogate. I switched off the radio after they were 2-0 up. I didn’t have the drive to bear any more than that, which is unlike me. On Sunday, I caught up with my college work and just relaxed. I had a quick go on my Playstation.

    I think all supporters will gain, but it’s nice to see more improvements to the ground like this. Some stewards might grumble that some people are taking too long to move. Just be patient and wait.

    Recruitment will solve most problems. It’s not too hard and some players might leave. I believe we can manage with the team we have, but we need changes. Any new additions will push someone down the order. I value all players and it’s sad to see anyone go, but to improve, there are one or two defenders who aren’t necessary.
  14. Joshua
    I wouldn’t turn down either, but I don’t think the odds are very high. I think Forest might not be too concerned about their wages now that they’re in the Premier League, but they would likely want to protect their valuable assets by not letting them drop too far down the league. I think there was more hope that someone would come in for Harry Arter towards the end of his playing career if he performed well with us.
  15. Joshua
    I’ve noticed this isn’t the first time it’s happened, and I wish the club would ensure that two post-match responses are never missed in a row. I don’t mind losing, but when the club doesn’t allow the player giving a post-match response to answer direct questions that may arise, it seems like excessive protection. It’s more about the club not wanting the players to admit we’ve lost or are performing poorly.
  16. Joshua
    He’s not a poor player, but there are certainly better ones out there. I think some of our fans prioritise flair over ability. If a player can show off and produce a few moments of brilliance, it often seems to overshadow their weaknesses. I wish Calvin Miller all the best, but I’m relieved he’s not with us.
  17. Joshua
    I wonder if the club is taking note of some of these players mentioned here. I’m hoping we can secure a reliable defender in January.
  18. Joshua
    Even then, Neil Warnock comes across as a genuine bloke. It’s unfortunate he didn’t stay here longer.
  19. Joshua
    It’s never smooth sailing. I sympathise with Luke Williams, but he’s making errors too. I concur with the suggestions to stabilise the back three and attempt to resolve the issues. If the players aren’t receptive, he needs to replace them with those willing to make the necessary changes. The first choice should be to work with a consistent back three if possible.
  20. Joshua
    The Tories seem to consistently make life more difficult for people, but the Nottingham Council isn’t blameless either. They rescue companies that are losing money, funds that could be put to better use elsewhere. Robin Hood Energy is one such company that received inadequate support multiple times despite its constant financial losses.
  21. Joshua
    I believe we should be fielding players who are trained as centre backs, rather than just slotting them into the position to give them playing time. Richard Brindley looked competent in the centre when he was first placed there, but we keep changing his position. I feel there needs to be some consistency.
  22. Joshua
    Best of luck to Michael Doyle. I understand the remarks about him being a football mercenary, but he should excel as a manager as long as he doesn’t abandon his post at the first sign of success.
  23. Joshua
    They can be quite distracting and, to be honest, it’s silly to have the same advert looping all around the stadium. I hope Notts opts for a more traditional look, with different adverts that switch positions. I just don’t want to see a whole row of the same advert.
  24. Joshua
    Why have they put the season on hold? Pausing the season gives the impression there’s going to be a thorough investigation. Is there some sort of corruption happening?
  25. Joshua
    No Kyle Cameron? That seems like a significant change in the squad. I hope it turns out to be a good decision. Since Cameron isn’t even on the bench, I don’t know if he’s injured or just been told to rest. I would have made John Bostock the captain, but let’s hope Macaualay Langstaff can energise the squad and score a goal or two.
