Hello, @Niederbayern Pie. Welcome to PON. Glad you're here.

Hello, @Middlesex Magpie. Welcome to PON. Have a laugh and join in.

Hello, @Morten Johansen. PON is mixed from young to older, you don't need to be an expert on Notts either. None of us are. ????

I believe we should take a moment to reflect on our defensive performance. There are times when we don't appear to be strong in that area, whether it's due to a lack of focus or other factors. It's crucial that we acquire another centre-back who can bolster our defense instead of bringing in loan players who won't see much playing time. I'm confident that this was just one of those games and that we can bounce back.

Luke Williams understands! Hopefully, everything goes according to plan, and our team makes us proud. Colchester won't be an easy opponent, as not many teams are, but we have to believe that we are capable enough to maintain our strong start. It all boils down to effective game management.

It's getting close now, and I just want Notts to perform well. I believe David McGoldrick could make a significant impact for us.

It's not as easy as Notts has made it look. Luke Williams is right to give the teams we face their credit and acknowledge the difficulty they bring. That shows a lot of focus and respect, so going into the game, it should help us to focus on our own performance.

Aidan Stone deserved the clean sheet, and I'm pleased he has achieved it. The team's performance was commendable, as we maintained control of the game in both halves. Macaulay Langstaff displayed great effort, although he could have possibly scored another goal. Although their goalkeeper made some impressive saves, it wasn't sufficient to change the outcome. Our team is showing great promise and performing exceptionally well.

Salford can be a strong team if given the opportunity to take control of the game or capitalise on chances. However, if not given these opportunities, they tend to be rather ordinary. At their current skill level, they aren't quite ready for League One, so I view them more as a potential contender for the playoffs, and ideally a team that Notts should be able to beat. Nevertheless, football can be unpredictable, and since they're playing at home, it could really go either way on the day.

Notts performed well enough to win, it wasn't a fluke or due to opposition being poor. Accrington Stanley played well with their own right and made a game of it, they were organised and determined, and they created some chances. I felt disappointed when they scored because I honestly didn't think they would and it was a poor goal from our perspective to concede. They exploited our weakness in defence, and they took advantage of our lapse in concentration. They did well to get the goal, but I do think they settled at that point for a draw. They did not push for a second goal, and they seemed happy with a point.

I believe that we all have the ability to persevere, even if the outcome is not in our favour. It’s not a failure if you can move forward. I concur that some football fans can be excessively critical, but thankfully, such behaviour is not exhibited here. While I admit to being critical at times, I believe that it can be constructive and positive, as long as it is done with sincerity and in a healthy manner.

The current form of both teams is impressive, and they have a lot at stake if they do not emerge victorious. Notts must exercise caution and dictate the tempo of the game. Accrington is a formidable opponent, but so are we. I have a premonition that the match will end in a draw.

Luke Williams has got the players to lift themselves, we can be more creative and that will help with chances on goal. I agree with his statement, it makes sense and I am thankful for the acknowledgement of support during games.

Luke speaks so well that I feel confident in his ability and am looking forward to the new season. It was good to play Forest in a pre-season friendly. Notts did very well considering their squad depth.

I don't know much about how the youth setup works, but I appreciate the work that goes into it but I do think the youth leagues should reflect the teams final finishing position rather than the main teams situation.

It's not just tap ins, he's got a good finish but I do agree with how Notts plays when in control that he gets plenty of chances. I am looking forward to tomorrow and Forest, those should be good friendlies.

Luke says how he sees things and does well to keep us informed, I think the way he relates to us is similar to how he connects with the players. It's level sign of respect.

I seriously can't wait to see how Williams' philosophy and hard work reflects in the performance of our team on the pitch. The man seems to have a clear vision for success.

I thought that Will Randall played as a midfielder and on the wing. However, I know that he may end up as a full back for us. As for me, I voted for Jodi Jones, so it’s a bit late now.

Dan Crowley is a fantastic signing. He possesses remarkable talent and I believe he will exceed the abilities of both David McGoldrick and Jodi Jones. I am thrilled about this signing. ????

I was worried at first, but it has been a good time in the National League. I was 8 years old, almost 9 when we went down and it was very upsetting. However, that experience has turned out to be a positive thing because we have been much better off with our Danish owners.

Yes! Dan Crowley will be a fantastic signing. He’s amazing!

Think they're throwing money into transfers to get back up, it's hard to see how it won't pay off but then they signed Ross Fitzsimons didn't they?

Jim O’Brien has been a key part of our fight for promotion to the football league. Everyone wants a player like him who will give his all and show the passion that was missing from most of the squad when Notts was relegated. Our team has been much better with him in it. It will be sad when he retires, but that day will come. I’m just grateful he’s been part of our history.

He’s too talented for the National League North, but I’m glad we didn’t get him back. Our team relied on him too much and became predictable, which hurt us. It’s better for him to move on, but it’s sad to see him leave Aberdeen.
