Jodi Jones could face England after Malta call-up
Jodi has earned his place in the Malta squad with his performances for Notts. I’m sure he’ll continue to impress. He has been a model professional and a team player throughout the season. He has also displayed his intelligence and awareness on the pitch. He has improved immensely under our coaching staff and I’m proud of his progress. I believe he’ll be an asset for Malta as well.

Where are they now : Kwame Thomas
I’m sorry @super_ram, but he wasn’t very good. He didn’t deserve the second yellow/red card, but he didn’t do anything noteworthy. There are young players who may not have his talent but would work much harder.

The Icing on the Cake: Macaulay Langstaff’s Our Game Player of the Year Award
Langstaff is a legend, he’s been unstoppable this season. He’s scored some amazing goals and he’s been a joy to watch. He deserves all the awards he’s getting and more. He’s a true Magpie and I’m so proud of him.

Connell Rawlinson: "My heart will always be with Notts County"
So happy for Connell, he’s earned this new contract with his performances and his attitude. He’s been a solid defender for us and a great captain. He’s shown his love for the club and the fans and we love him back. He’s got the ambition and the ability to help take us to the next level.

Where are they now: Greg Tempest
I believed that the club would be better off without him and Hayden Hollis, as neither of them were good enough for where we were at that time.

ARLukomski Captures Notts County’s Triumphant Return to the Football League
I never miss his vlogs and feel that he conveys the sentiments of the majority of fans. Although there have been challenging times when he seemed distant from Notts, I trust that the Wembley event made a difference and that we can progress as a club. It’s a shame he doesn’t post on here as much now.

Notts County’s Return to Football League: A Story of Triumph and Transformation
There is a good chance that the club could achieve back-to-back promotions. The biggest test will be recruitment in the summer. The question is whether the club can sign good League 2 level players. The club has already signed players who are better than the National League and most of them are good enough for the next step. There are even a handful of players who would be good in League One, which should be the club's target for the next 2-3 seasons.

Notts County triumphs over Chesterfield and reclaims title as world’s oldest football league club
It's disappointing that the club hasn't put up a match report yet. While they may be busy, a report is a crucial part of a media team's job. It should have been written during the game and posted immediately after the final penalty was taken. However, it's good to know that the report is to the point and detailed.

Match Discussion: Play Off Final - The Spireites
The game had its highs and lows for both teams. While some Notts fans may view the entire performance as poor, it's important to consider the performance of other teams such as Chesterfield. Fitzsimons, in particular, had a comedy hour with his blunders. He went from being decent to a crumbling fool. Notts had spells where they looked likely to win and times where they struggled, but that's just football. There were plenty of chances for them to win. It's not realistic to expect Notts to play as if they were at Meadow Lane. The performance was good enough to win and the penalties were all well taken. It was to our benefit that Fitzsimons couldn't catch a cold or save a penalty.

Celebrating Excellence: The Winners of the Pride of Nottingham 2022/2023 Awards!
All the winners truly deserve the praise. I think Matt Palmer has been outstanding and Macaulay Langstaff is simply superb.

Match Discussion: Play Off Final - The Spireites
Losing to a rival like Chesterfield would be disappointing, especially after all the questionable actions they took during the COVID pandemic. I want our players to be a powerful force on the field, working together and seizing any opportunities that arise. On paper and in terms of statistics, we have the stronger squad, but our work rate and focus on the day must match our potential.

From a two-goal deficit to Wembley Final: Notts County’s dramatic win through Aden Baldwin's eyes
It was just our misfortune to be forced into conceding due to the high defence and then fail to deal with a simple pass across the goal @super_ram. The second pass put Aden Baldwin in a precarious position. Witnessing it unfold in person only amplifies the disappointment, but undoubtedly those watching at home were leaping for joy along with the majority of fans in the KOP when the goal was scored.

Notts County earns support from Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, who aims to show support in promotion bid
I’ve noticed that this has sparked some ridiculous remarks on Twitter. I’m not convinced that Ryan Reynolds is making everything about himself. He has done some commendable work since taking over Wrexham and their supporters understand this due to the improvements they’ve seen. In my opinion, some of it is just a combination of nonsense and jealousy. I have respect for Ryan and Rob for demonstrating unity and I hope they continue to do so because football is about coming together.

Jodi Jones reflects on his 'amazing feeling' after scoring winner for Notts County
Jodi Jones is not just a super substitute; he is good enough to be starting. I hope Luke Williams realizes that Adam Chicksen’s performance has not been the same since Joel Taylor left. While I like Chicksen, it is difficult to justify his inclusion in the starting line-up when his dip in form is not related to fitness but rather his performance. I believe Jodi would have a greater impact and hope he gets the chance to play at Wembley.

Match Discussion: Play Off Semi-Final - The Wood (H)
Boreham Wood’s behaviour during the match was highly unprofessional. They seemed fully capable of playing without resorting to such antics, which only served to provoke the Notts players. Kyle Cameron appeared to react negatively at times, confronting their players on several occasions. This kind of behaviour should be ignored, and I believe players like John Bostock dealt with it well. Ruben Rodrigues was largely absent from the game and seemed to use his injury as an excuse for missing opportunities. While he may have injured his ankle, one doesn’t simply start running again. He needs to put an end to that. In fact, I thought we performed much better without him on the pitch. Sam Austin proved to be a player who made an effort to advance the play. Winning the match 3-2 in our favour seemed unbelievable and I am thrilled with the result. However, Boreham Wood’s conduct left a bad impression and they need to work on their professionalism on the pitch.

Notts County One Step Closer to English Football League Return After 3-2 Win Against Boreham Wood
It was absolutely amazing to see Notts come back and score 2 goals to even the score. When Ruben Rodrigues missed the penalty, I was worried it wasn’t going to be our day. But despite all the emotions, Notts kept their cool and pushed for the win.

Match Discussion: Play Off Semi-Final - The Wood (H)
I'm excited for the game, but I'm starting to feel anxious. When we lost to Swindon Town in League Two, I didn't think I could feel that emotional about another Notts game. But if Boreham Wood manages to win, it would be even worse. Some of the best moments I've experienced as a fan have been in the National League. I know it's not all bad, but I'm worried we might lose some key players if we miss out. I hope the players are focused and determined to avoid what happened against Dagenham & Redbridge and Wrexham. I won't turn on the players and will support them no matter what.

Notts County's exceptional season doesn't guarantee play-off success, warns manager Luke Williams
We have been the favourites for promotion all season, and finishing second with a record number of points doesn’t change that. Luke Williams has done a great job of playing things down and keeping the pressure off the players. His mind games are a clever part of his management skills, but we all know that we are expected to go up no matter where we finished in the league. That’s the reality of our situation and we can’t change that. What we can do is focus on our preparation for Sunday and make sure we are ready for the biggest game of our lives. Williams will be making sure the players are working hard on their tactics and fitness, while also keeping them calm and confident. It’s not easy to balance those things, but that’s what makes him a good manager.

Macaulay Langstaff and Les Bradd: A Relationship Built on Goals and History
Yes, I used to think Kyle Wootton was irreplaceable, but Macaulay Langstaff proved me wrong. He’s not the same type of player as Wootton, but he fits perfectly in our system. That shows how good our recruitment is, finding players that suit our style and philosophy. 42 goals in a single season is unbelievable. He deserves all the awards, praise and recognition that come with it. What a legend!
