  2. Good comments from Dan Crowley. He could easily be the captain. I am not suggesting he should be, as I like Matt Palmer in the role, but Crowley’s comments are those of a leader and someone who sees his importance to the side. It’s good he’s enjoying his football. I hope he manages to get double figures this season for us.
  3. None of them really caught my eye, but it was worth giving them a chance as you never know if you could unearth a gem.
  4. I have recently started a new job and will be starting at Nottingham University studying electrical engineering. My time might be a little less often on here or even with Notts, but I am excited.
  5. He was probably past his best when he ended up here, but it was good to have his name connected with the club, even in passing. He sounded like a true hero for Everton. Scoring 377 goals during a career is a huge amount of goals.
  6. Magpies are stunning birds, though it makes me laugh how often I’ve seen them pinching things, and not always ‘shiny’ ones. I haven’t heard what you mentioned before, @Wheelbarrow repair man. I find it very interesting. I didn’t know about the devil part; I would have thought crows were more like that with their creepy watching as a flock.
  7. It’s always a good sign seeing Notts setting records and beating past feats. It shows the club is heading in the right direction. I agree with others; maintaining an undefeated run makes you believe in promotion. If we can just keep going, who knows where we’ll be by Christmas? It would be great to see us actively competing for the championship.
  8. I think both teams would take a draw, but I don’t think either of us will settle for that until the referee blows the final whistle. I like the answers Steve and David have given. It’s good to see the thoughts of the Gillingham fans, and both seem to be on similar wavelengths, which gives us a clearer picture. It’s going to be a tough game, but I hope it’s entertaining with both teams trying to win it.
  9. Happy belated birthday @CliftonMagpie! I am sorry that I missed this yesterday, but I hope you had a good one.
  10. Great to see both players mentioned. It’s a good thing for Notts fans to see their talented players picked up in a team of the week consisting of all 72 clubs.
  11. Jodi Jones gets my vote because he was all over Bromley. He played exceptionally well and, after the two early goals conceded, he lifted his own performance to help turn things around for Notts. He helped others play to their best, but he was already in the zone before most.
  12. You balance your assets in football. We lost Kyle Wootton because he wanted League Football and we failed to gain promotion. It doesn’t seem like that with Jodi Jones. It feels like the club is moving and progressing with the squad. It feels like everyone is committed and patient about achieving promotion to League One. It’s going to be a fight, but with four spaces, it’s doable. I think we have a much better chance of staying up when this happens with Jodi in our ranks. It makes a change that we are retaining players and not having to rebuild every season. Jodi will see this, as I am sure Coventry kept most of their players and improved around them. So, I am delighted with his decision to commit.
  13. I would have liked to see Matt Palmer start. He’s such a good guy and speaks well. I like his attitude and think he’s perfect to be one of the leaders on the pitch. David McGoldrick has done well during Palmer’s absence, but I think Palmer is the right choice to take over. He’s a quality midfielder who plays extremely well in our system. When he’s out, like last season, we feel the loss. We’ve signed good players to fill in and do something different, which takes the pressure off Palmer, but he’s first-team material every day of the week. I hope his fitness continues to improve so we can see him get regular minutes. He’s such a vital cog in this Notts County team that he can impact the players around him even without the armband.
  14. Alex Bass looked very frustrated after we conceded early. I don’t think we had much of a grip on the expectations of how the ball would be played across such a dry pitch. Maynard mentioned the longer grass, but I am pleased this wasn’t used as an excuse to explain defeat but more highlighted as a reason behind a difficult start. The way our players pulled themselves together was very impressive. Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley really linked together to help put us back into the game. It was also great to see Matt Palmer starting. He and David McGoldrick offered calmness, which made our play exciting to watch. It was the best away game I have been to!

  16. It’s brilliant for Notts and Meadow Lane. The ground is looking better than it ever has. I like all the neat touches, from the new signs to the excellent pitch. For once, we are lucky, and the Reedtz continue to spoil us as they show they’re making smart investments for the club, which is having a huge impact on all the positive things we see.
  17. I feel sorry for Morecambe and teams of their size. I hope they don’t suddenly pull it together just in time to play us and make it harder. If tomorrow goes well, we could be building a nice little run of form.
  18. I am happy, well more than happy. Delighted and over the moon doesn’t really do it. Jodi Jones’s extension gives us peace of mind. I would rather have players under contract than allowing them to wind down. Also, the fact he feels he has something to repay us for, despite all he has done, shows his quality off the pitch.
  19. Welcome back to PON, @Wheelbarrow repair man. It’s good to see your name back on the site. Let’s crack on and make the Pride of Nottingham the best fan forum on the internet.
  20. Hello, @Jeff johno. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. I hope to see your username around the site.
  21. Hello, @Emma Duffield. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. I hope to see your username around the site.
  22. Hello, @Alan Carnell. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. I hope to see your username around the site.
  23. I think Stuart Maynard made the right call switching Jodi Jones to the right, but I wish we would try Cedwyn Scott up top on occasions. I get he’s strong and works hard, but he needs to find consistency, and I think he would do that more as a striker, just like Jodi shines on the right. Good insights from Maynard though.
  24. It’s going to be interesting to see how both teams adapt to each other’s style. The play might not be the most entertaining, but I have faith in our players. Leaving with a draw wouldn’t be the worst outcome. I would take it and focus on other games, but I see no reason why we can’t be clinical on goal. Their form seems up and down right now.
  25. He’s clearly level-headed. I like that he’s focusing on improving, and it’s that drive which will get the best out of him. I think the decision to sell Aaron Nemane might have paid off, as we are now stronger defensively, and it frees up the right for Jodi Jones to be more threatening on goal. I am very impressed and delighted that he’s agreed to a new deal.
