Late Drama Unfolds as Notts County Falls Short Against Stockport County
If we take todayโs performance as an indicator, I believe we can keep getting better. Stockport County is a strong team in this league. Iโm not fond of discussing budgets as itโs not a fair comparison. Performance is what truly matters. Being the home team would have given them an advantage, so Iโm happy to see signs of improvement.

Luke Williams on Notts Countyโs Journey So Far: โWe Cannot Stand Stillโ
We need to recognise our current situation and put an end to the drama. If the players can address whatโs hindering us, a positive outcome is all we need. I doubt this will happen against a strong Stockport County, but Iโm weary of the constant negativity as if weโre facing relegation.

Lewis Macari on Adapting to Notts Countyโs Playing Style: A New Way of Playing
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 Iโm delighted that he has joined us permanently.

Match Discussion: Game 23 - The Hatters (A)
Iโm 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 donโt think we need to fret if we lose, but hopefully, weโll see signs of progress and determination.

Notts Countyโs Luke Williams on Team Performance: โWe Cannot Be So Scared to Play Footballโ
Itโs never smooth sailing. I sympathise with Luke Williams, but heโs making errors too. I concur with the suggestions to stabilise the back three and attempt to resolve the issues. If the players arenโt 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.

Where are they now - Michael Doyle
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 doesnโt abandon his post at the first sign of success.

Match Discussion: Game 22 - Sulphurites (A)
No Kyle Cameron? That seems like a significant change in the squad. I hope it turns out to be a good decision. Since Cameron isnโt even on the bench, I donโt know if heโs injured or just been told to rest. I would have made John Bostock the captain, but letโs hope Macaualay Langstaff can energise the squad and score a goal or two.
-
Where are they now? Alan Sheehan
I'd completely overlooked him. He's the sort of former player the club should consider inviting back for a match, given his intriguing seasons with us.

message to readers and inactive members of pon
Such is the nature of football, fans come and go. The crowd where I sit has changed significantly since I first started attending games, so itโs no surprise that PON has experienced similar changes. I hope the members who have left know they would be welcomed back and encouraged to share their thoughts.

Notts Countyโs Kyle Cameron: Determination Ahead of Walsall Clash
We stand with you, our leader, our captain. In Notts, we have faith! Itโs time to forge ahead and get the season back on the right path. Hopefully, weโll start this Saturday and strive to build some consistent form. There will be some errors, but as long as weโre winning or learning, progress will follow.

Luke Williams Confident in Notts Countyโs Ability to Achieve Sustained Success
Luke Williams is truly commendable, always shielding his team and providing explanations that soothe everyone. Letโs rally behind the team and recreate the magic of the seasonโs start. That was a remarkable time. Letโs see if we can instigate a change with uplifting chants and exceptional support.

Should the Reedtz buy the land in which Meadow Lane is built?
Personally, Iโd prefer if the club owned the stadium and land outright. Considering the problems other clubs have faced with owners exploiting the stadiums, itโs a worry, but I think itโs better for the club to own its assets. Ultimately, itโs up to the Reedtz to decide. If theyโre not interested in buying, I respect that. If they do want to buy the land, I hope theyโll consider ways to ensure the ground stays with the club, regardless of who owns Notts County.

Match Discussion: Game 21 - The Saddlers (H)
Iโm hopeful that Notts will kick off with energy and maintain it throughout the game, which I believe would boost the playersโ morale. While a clean sheet might be a stretch, I do hope weโll see an improvement in our defence compared to the Shrewsbury Town match. This game presents a great opportunity to earn 3 points and stay in contention at the top. A loss could see us fall behind in the playoff race. My prediction is a 2-1 win for us.

Feargal Sharkey and the water companies / environment
Most companies care more about their profits and board. They donโt even care about their workers, so why would they care about us? Feargal Sharkey is a typical Dickensian character.

Luke Williams on Nurturing Notts Countyโs Future Star, James Sanderson: โIโm Very Enthusiastic About What He Could Achieve'
Itโs brilliant when a young player excels. The academy is doing a lot of good work, and I agree, Notts needs to make it worthwhile. Otherwise, itโs pointless. People might say none of them have been good enough, but the only way to know for sure is to give them game time to develop their experience. If not, itโs just untapped potential and somewhat a waste of time. Iโm also wary about setting unrealistic expectations, so I hope our young professionals just concentrate on their game.

Luke Williams on Notts Countyโs Performance: A Tale of Two Halves
The second half was far from dreadful, largely due to our impressive performance and the four goals we netted. This might create unrealistic expectations, leading people to believe we can consistently deliver such high standards throughout a full match. However, even top-tier teams like Manchester City donโt always shine for the entire 90 minutes. Were we good? Absolutely. Could Notts have performed better? Undoubtedly. But this is a fair reflection of the nature of football.

Notts County: A Tale of Two Novembers
Tommy Lawtonโs transfer to Notts County highlighted the urgent need for fair wages for footballers in those times! He truly paved the way for a new era!

Dan Gosling's Arrival Infuses Notts County with Experience and Excitement
Dan Gosling should adapt quickly to our style of play, given Bournemouthโs attacking approach in the Premier League. It might be a bit different without Matt Palmer, but thatโs not necessarily a bad thing. Even though itโs a short-term contract, Iโm trying not to get too excited.
-
Dan Goslingโs Excitement for Notts Countyโs Progression: A Boost for Magpies
His honesty is commendable. I appreciate that he refuses to collect a wage for merely warming the bench or missing match days. It speaks volumes about his character and, in my opinion, makes him more of a true footballer because he simply doesnโt care. Thereโs a stark difference between being a team player who waits for their chance and someone who actively takes money for doing nothing, draining the fans and the club.

Lincoln City Emerges Victorious in Gruelling Encounter with Notts County
If we had won, people would have hyped it up, saying we defeated a League One team. However, since we didnโt, I believe itโs a blessing in disguise. It helps us avoid the expectation of defeating every League Two team and the subsequent disappointment when we donโt, which I find quite irritating.

Notts County Welcomes Premier League Veteran Dan Gosling
While some supporters may focus on his age, we have ample speed and the quality he brings will be far more advantageous. Iโm absolutely thrilled with this signing, even if itโs only for a month.

Aden Baldwin Reveals Notts County's Grit in Epic FA Cup Win
Aden Baldwinโs comments on the performance are accurate, but the result is the key takeaway. The goalkeeping needs to be more assertive. Based on Aidan Stoneโs performance, you wouldnโt think we were near the top of the League Two table. This time, it was him who added to Nottsโ difficulties. Hopefully, he regains his confidence and starts to improve. A very good result nonetheless!
