  1. It’s good to see Meadow Lane so busy, with the stands being so full. I do think the club is missing a trick by not trying to pack the family stands with free or cheap tickets, to get more younger supporters watching this Notts squad play. They will soon become fans of the future. If we can keep getting 10k, not only will it be good for the budget, but it will also show that we are not a small club like some other fans think.
  2. What a manager we have at the helm of Notts County! Luke Williams’ focus and hard work, along with the coaches and staff, are all proving to pay off. Going top, especially at home, is a special feeling. I am sure it means something to the squad and players; it must be enjoyable to hear the chants when you are playing during a game. Accrington Stanley may have lifted their game to it, but I thought it had the opposite effect, with us pushing further.

  4. I am hoping for another home win for Notts, but maintaining our undefeated run is the most important thing. Accrington are familiar with League Two, but I doubt they know much about us. If they were to watch footage of our games, it would be difficult for them to devise a game plan to stop us from growing in confidence at home. Playing away would be more challenging because they will be accustomed to their pitch and Notts tends to start slowly, but at Meadow Lane we are surely the favourites.
  5. While Notts’ statistics may not be the most impressive, they are far from the worst. Some may complain that we play boring football, but the truth is that we are performing very well. Our style of play is largely responsible for our success, and there is no need for concern or fear. The statistics may be somewhat misleading and ultimately unimportant.
  6. It is important to appreciate the contributions of Luke Williams. He has made a significant difference to the team, and the coaching staff are crucial to the success of the club. It is refreshing to see him speaking openly and honestly, which is characteristic of his style.
  7. Yes, it is certainly possible that Notts could enjoy back-to-back promotions and achieve what Luton Town has accomplished. This is also true for other strong League Two teams such as MK Dons. While I would be thrilled to see Notts playing in the Championship, I am not in any particular hurry. I would prefer to enjoy seasons where we have a realistic chance of promotion, rather than being a team that struggles to survive in a higher league. In my opinion, League One would be a good middle ground. After spending a few seasons there, we should be able to establish a strong squad that can move forward.
  8. I’d be interested in learning more about this game. Have we ever had a rivalry with them?
  9. Concerned about Charlton? I think we should be more apprehensive about Eastleigh making a move for him. That’s likely why they let go of Lee Bradbury. They aspire to emulate our success despite their poor start to the season.
  10. It’s wonderful news for Jodi Jones! I’m thrilled for him. He seems to return from his international duties with renewed vigour. It’s beneficial for both him and us.
  11. Eastleigh should have given their manager more time to improve things. It’s regrettable that they decided to dismiss him so early into the new season.
  12. The artwork is fantastic, truly a remarkable piece.
  13. It’s unfortunate what happened to Cedwyn Scott, such an unexpected incident leading to his injury. He’s shown promise both as a substitute and a starter, often being in a position to score for us. I sincerely hope his recovery doesn’t take too long.
  14. Do let me know if this is feasible, please. I’m also open to the idea of making a personal donation, but I don’t mind doing it online.
  15. Hello! Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, we are good community and are very friendly. Glad to have you @Andrew Edwards.
  16. Hello! Welcome to the PON site, we are glad to have you @Gary Adamson.
  17. The game began promisingly, with effective passing that opened up the play. Tranmere appeared decent in their attack, demonstrating ample speed and causing an early worry when Jennings shot over. However, defensively, we remained composed and collected. The performance was commendable. John Bostock was consistently excellent throughout the match; his quality was evident in his daring passes that others wouldn’t even attempt, thereby increasing our threat by repeatedly putting Jodi Jones through. Matt Palmer also performed well, with Richard Brindley providing solid defence. The second half was outstanding, even with us being down to 10 men. I don’t believe Tranmere deserved anything from the match; Notts dominated from beginning to end, although they did provide us with a challenge.
  18. His comments left me both shocked and surprised. Such remarks are not characteristic of an intelligent individual. He either lacks concern or is aware that there will be no consequences for his words. His behaviour is unacceptable in the game, and it’s fortunate that he has retired.
  19. I believed that the commencement of the match was pivotal. From the moment the game began, we demonstrated our desire for possession and applied pressure. John Bostock’s performance was exceptional, his astute passing and ability to decelerate the game significantly enhanced our forward momentum. All players performed admirably, but several could have been named Man of the Match. For now, my choice would still be Bostock, although others such as Richard Brindley and Aaron Nemane were equally impressive.
  20. In my view, the journey thus far has been largely positive. I’d like to see the team concentrate on becoming more robust and controlling matches with the same resolve we witnessed against Doncaster. There’s no reason why we can’t be among the leading teams in this league.
  21. Is there any news, or has the deadline passed? I wasn’t expecting us to sign anyone.
  22. I’ve watched the rebooted series, my parents don’t find it as humorous as the original series, despite it featuring the same cast. However, I quite enjoy it.
  23. If the weather permits, I’ll be heading to the park with some friends for a game of football. Some of them I don’t see very often due to leaving school, but we’ve decided to meet up for a kickabout. Like everyone else here, I’ll be at Meadow Lane tomorrow!
  24. I hope it works out for them, I don’t know much about the football there but it does make me curious as to why Red Bull decided to purchase them.
  25. Richard Brindley is perfectly capable, I do believe he offers a lot going forward and protects the ball better than Aden Baldwin and Kyle Cameron, but Brindley has the pace to outpace the opposition. He fits into the centre-back role very well, it’s where I think we need to let him settle in. Keeping him in form will help him adapt further into the role.
