  1. Max Power is a formidable force, too advanced for League Two but not quite up to par with some of the players he’ll be competing against. I would have expected him to remain in the Championship. He can’t be earning much more, otherwise it would be a complete waste.
  2. I don’t recall this, as I would have been too young at the time, but I am aware that we played them. It must have been fantastic to travel to Italy to witness us assist in the inauguration of the Juventus stadium. I’ve found this topic quite intriguing.
  3. Hello, @JOHN BOND. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. Thank you for sharing your post on the young trialist we had.
  4. Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @Laura Griffin. Hope you stick around.
  5. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Corinthian88. It's likely we won't see you often but please do drop by when you have an interest in Notts.
  6. We often fall into the trap of blaming individual players instead of the team as a whole. Yes, Connell Rawlinson made a poor judgement early on and wasn’t in the best position when marking, but no one else had the foresight to cover the gap. This is something we should instruct our faster players to do. I also believe that Luke Williams recognises that Rawlinson has a role within our squad but should perhaps consider which teams he would be most effective against. Richard Brindley in the centre of the back three works well, but we need to practise for situations when the defence is split like this; someone else can provide cover.
  7. My weekend revolved around watching Notts at home and then attending a family function on Sunday. Nothing particularly exciting; I wish I could have watched the game live at Stadium MK.
  8. I don’t believe it’s a poor signing; he’ll outperform most players in this league and it’s up to Wrexham to integrate him effectively. I believe he would score goals in our team due to our ability to create chances, but will he fit into their setup? I believe so.
  9. I appreciate Luke Williams’ consistent recognition of the fans’ support and his defence of the players. Macaulay Langstaff won’t always find the back of the net and sometimes defensive lapses will lead to conceding a goal. MK Dons had several good opportunities, just like Notts, but the draw was a fair outcome. Well done to Williams for giving Adam Chicksen playing time in Jodi Jones’ absence.
  10. Dan Crowley has been exceptional from what I’ve observed so far. He’s a player of class and his role within the team suits his abilities perfectly. I’m hopeful that he’ll add more goals to his tally, but that should come naturally. His contribution has been significant in our progression since our promotion from the National League.
  11. Kyle Cameron is a commendable player. While some supporters may concentrate on the errors of our players and use them as a basis for criticism, instances like this demonstrate his quality. In my opinion, he was one of our standout performers against MK Dons, contributing effectively to both defence and attack.
  12. I am pleased that we demonstrated the determination to equalise. We played some good football, and I thought our build-up play was a thousand times better than MK Dons. Their goal left me feeling disappointed because we failed to close what was a direct route to the goal. It certainly feels like we handed them the goal, but I am pleased to secure the point. Ideally, we would have closed the space and protected Aidan Stone, meaning our goal would have won the game, but it is what it is. MK Dons had no chance of saving that shot from Kyle Cameron. I must say, @Chris called it spot on. Their keeper seems like a good shot-stopper but poor from a distance. Yes, Kyle’s effort was difficult to save, but we had a few chances which went wide that I felt they had no hope of saving had the ball been on target.
  13. I like a laugh, but I think this is a bit too silly, and as for the interview, it just seems pointless. I don’t want to sound too critical, but when I keep thinking why? It does make you wonder what the point was. I guess I just prefer professional, sit-down interviews.
  14. Kyle Cameron’s strike was great; it flew into the goal, and some of the fans near me were crying out for Notts to take a shot from a distance. I think Aden Baldwin thought about it himself a few times. I wished he and others had because their keeper looked easily beaten from them.
  15. I missed this week’s round because I was away, and I thought I had replied yesterday. To my disappointment, it is not the case, but it gives someone else the chance to go top. I’ll reclaim my place next week.
  16. It doesn’t bother me, but if I were at home, I think I would still want to see it if I couldn’t be at the game. I can see why some people might find it boring, but the game markets itself. Sky will be looking to attract casual football fans as well as fans of both teams who aren’t at the game.
  17. Neal Bishop will have his reasons; I doubt anything serious like a falling out has happened. It may be down to results; it could be that Bishop feels he needs a change and wants them to pick up. Who knows?
  18. Has anyone decided to purchase the stream? Have you, @Fan of Big Tone? Or are you happy just to sit next to the wireless - I mean radio?
  19. I don’t mind; I can see the logic behind Adam Chicksen starting, and I understand that other players have had to wait, so it makes sense for Adam Chicksen to be the player who starts. Personally, if Luke Williams has enough faith in Will Randall to start, then that’s fine. He may bring something that MK Dons haven’t prepared for, so there may be benefits to him starting. Like I said, I don’t mind. I’m just eager to see the players do well and protect our unbeaten run.
  20. I am thoroughly impressed with how well Dan Crowley has been playing lately. His form has been a significant factor in why Notts are winning games, and he fits in seamlessly with the squad. I wholeheartedly agree with the comments about the quality we have in midfield. I would also like to mention that we have a strong defence, but we could use someone a bit more robust at the back, like a younger Connell Rawlinson.
  21. I thought Luke Williams deserved the Manager of the Month award, but at least he acknowledges the team’s efforts. I don’t think he or the players will be disheartened by not winning the award. I just hope that we can work hard to secure further nominations in the future. Williams is incredibly gifted, and I have no doubt that he will continue to excel.
  22. Macca worked tirelessly to get the ball into the back of the net. He always looked likely to score, and once he did, it was difficult not to see him getting a second. He could have easily had a hat-trick, but credit to him for praising the team. His celebrations are always something that sends fans into a frenzy of excitement.
  23. MK Dons may be a difficult team to face, but I would rather play them now than before the Doncaster Rovers game. The players must fight and work hard to make sure something positive comes from the game. I don’t care about winning as such, provided the performance is good and we don’t lose.
  24. Ruben Rodrigues was hardly the best performer all the time. What he was, is a very good technical player that could produce some magic that could change the outcome. Oxford United fans need to be mindful of this and just support him. I would hate to see him end up like how Jodi Jones was treated. It was wasteful, but thankfully we captured the better player.
  25. Macaulay Langstaff is a warrior and a fighter for us. I am looking forward to seeing him score more regularly, and even if he doesn’t, I appreciate what he does on the field. Imagine if he just scores braces this season!
