Jacob Bedeau: 'Facing My Former Club Is Special, but Notts County Come First!'
Bedeau’s attitude is exactly what we need. He recognises the importance of facing his former club but keeps the focus on getting the result for Notts. I like how he speaks about staying switched on during possession, that’s something we’ve struggled with at times, especially against teams like Gillingham where we had all the ball but still came away with nothing. His experience at Morecambe in League One will definitely help us this season, and his calmness under pressure could be key in tight games. Really glad we signed him.

Match Preview: Morecambe FC Seek Redemption as Notts County Push for Promotion
Games like this are always tricky. Morecambe’s got nothing to lose, and their players will be fighting for everything to turn their form around. We’ve got to keep focused, especially after some of the injuries we’ve had. Missing players like Robertson and Jodi isn’t ideal, but we’ve shown we can still play well without them. With Bedeau and Crowley both having a point to prove against their former side, I’m confident we can get the result, but it won’t be easy. Morecambe will be scrapping for a point or more.

Stuart Maynard: Morecambe clash a stern test as Notts County seek to bounce back
Maynard’s comments about our performance and his positive outlook, even in the face of defeat, are truly encouraging. It’s evident that the team has been putting in a lot of effort and creating chances, even if the results haven’t always gone our way. Facing Morecambe’s aggressive style will be another challenge for our resilience and adaptability. However, we’ve consistently shown that we can rise to such occasions. The absence of Jatta is certainly a setback, but prioritising player health is crucial. On a brighter note, the emergence of young talents like Kameron Muir highlights the club’s strong foundation. I’m optimistic about tomorrow’s match and eager to see how we fare against Morecambe.

Jacob Bedeau Reflects on Time at Morecambe and Looks Ahead to Notts County's Promotion Push
Jacob Bedeau’s recent interview highlights his professionalism and respect for Morecambe, even amidst their challenges. His dedication to Notts County’s objectives underscores his character. It’s refreshing to see players who value their journey and leverage their past experiences to drive their current ambitions. At Notts, Jacob isn’t merely blending in; he’s excelling. His enthusiastic remarks about our playing style and the team’s potential are truly inspiring. I’m eager to see how he performs against his former club this weekend. Matches like these hold a unique significance, and I have no doubt Jacob will step up to the challenge.

Welcome to Notts Josh Martin.
It’s reassuring to see the club addressing the injury situation by bringing in new talent. Josh Martin appears to be a promising addition. With his Premier League experience and having been part of a title-winning squad at Portsmouth, he brings a winning mentality. His youthfulness suggests he’ll be keen to make his mark at this level. Whether he ends up playing on the wing or in a more central role under Maynard’s strategy, his presence should bolster our attacking options. Given that it’s a short-term contract, he’ll need to make an immediate impact. This move could prove to be quite astute.

Notts County Sign Ex-Norwich Winger Josh Martin on Short-Term Deal
Good to see the club bringing in reinforcements after recent injuries. Josh Martin looks like a solid pick-up. Coming from a Premier League background and a title-winning side at Portsmouth, he’s got that winning experience. Plus, he’s still young, which means he’ll be eager to prove himself at this level. It’ll be interesting to see if he slots into the wing or more centrally in Maynard’s set-up, but either way, we could use the extra attacking threat. It’s only a short-term deal, so hopefully, he makes an impression quickly. I think this could be a very smart move.

Match Preview: Unbeaten Notts County Face Gillingham FC’s Resilient Defence in High-Stakes Clash
This match against Gillingham is truly shaping up to be a proper six-pointer. With both teams in fine form and so close in the league standings, Meadow Lane will be buzzing. Maynard has done wonders with our attacking play, and the confidence in the squad. Gillingham won't be easy, especially with their counter-attacking prowess, but I believe in our ability to maintain our unbeaten run, particularly with Crowley, Jones and McGoldrick in such stellar form.

Stuart Maynard’s Optimism: Key Players Return as Notts County Prepares for Gillingham Showdown
It's fantastic news that McDonald and Ness are on their way back from injury. Maynard’s focus on both attacking and defensive cohesion has been evident this season, especially with the solid performances from players like Bedeau and Macari. It’s clear the pre-season work has paid dividends. Also, great to see the fans playing their part every game, creating that vital 12th man effect.

Match Report: Notts County’s Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley Lead 4-2 Comeback Victory Over Bromley FC
What an extraordinary match! The way we turned things around after being 2-0 down in the first six minutes was nothing short of spectacular. Jodi Jones' penalty was crucial, and you could see it lifted the entire team. With Jones, Crowley, and Jatta pulling the strings, our attack looked phenomenal. Special kudos to Alex Bass for his key saves; he was a rock between the sticks. This level of performance from returning players shows how important squad depth is. If we can maintain this form, we're in for an exciting season. Hats off to Stuart Maynard for instilling such belief and resilience in the players.

Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Ravens (A)
Many think Bromley might make it difficult, with their pitch not being the best. I do wonder if Notts will be able to play their usual game or need to revert to something more in the air. I think our strongest squad has what it takes. It’s good to know we have Jatta, Crowley, and Jones all back.

BREAKING: Hearing over Man City's 115 Charges to begin Monday, 16th Sept.
I think Manchester City will get away with most of the charges. I can see the Premier League thinking it’s a win to get them on one or a few rather than all of them. Which makes you wonder why charge them at all? I don’t have much confidence it will be handled fairly.

Folkestone v Billericay sending off incident
Silly, 3-0 up and you choose to do that. The referee had to act in the manner he did; it’s foolish.

Jodi Jones - New contract
It’s great news that Jodi Jones is settled and has signed a new deal. It gives Notts a lot more than just a bit extra on his transfer fee. We need to keep in mind that some teams might not offer a fee that reflects what Notts would want due to his injury history. However, if we can progress and offer him new deals as we do, I think he’ll be far more inclined to stay put.

Jodi Jones Reflects on New Contract and Future Ambitions with Notts County
Jodi Jones is showing how mature he is. It’s easy to get distracted by offers and interest. That desire and ambition can really turn your head. But what I have taken from reading this is that Jodi is focused on where he is now and how he can help Notts to the next level. The contract is all positive, a sign of commitment, but his words show even more signs of that.

Cedwyn Scott
It's concerning to hear about Cedwyn Scott's limping, and I hope it's nothing serious. As some have pointed out, he's been played out of position, which might be impacting his performance. It's also important to remember that he's still recovering from a previous injury. Let's hope for his quick recovery and a successful return to the pitch, possibly in his preferred role as a striker.

Attendances at The San Sirrel
It's fantastic to see the growing attendances at Meadow Lane, reflecting the positive impact of the Reedtz brothers' leadership. The club's progress is indeed commendable, and the continued growth in support is a testament to this. It's great to dream of higher divisions, but let's also remember the unique charm of the close-knit community we once had. Here's to hoping for a successful season, a good FA Cup run, and sustained growth in attendance, regardless of the outcome.

Excellent article on Notts v Accrington by Tom Reed
Tom Reed’s article in Terrace Edition is a fantastic read. It beautifully captures the essence of Notts County, blending tradition with modernism. The creation of “The Nest” is a brilliant initiative, enhancing fan culture and engagement. The club’s commitment to the local community and its data-driven approach to player success are commendable. The description of the KOP stand’s unique atmosphere adds to the charm. Tom has done an excellent job highlighting the club’s values and vision.

Jodi Jones Nominated for Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month
I will be awaiting news on Friday to see who Sky Sports has named as the winner. I am hoping that Jodi Jones does well, but how many times will they choose him before they feel it’s too many times? Will there be a story for them after? I hope it is chosen on merit. Good luck, Jodi.

Notts County to Honour Sven-Göran Eriksson with Minute's Applause
Sven-Göran Eriksson's contribution to Notts County is a chapter of the club's history that is as memorable as it is significant. His leadership and vision brought remarkable success, propelling the club to new heights. Overseeing Notts County to win the League Two Championship was a testament to his exceptional skills. But beyond the victories, it was Eriksson’s character that left a lasting impression. Waiving his payoff to assist in the club’s transition showed his respect and commitment. This Saturday’s tribute serves not just as a moment of reflection but a celebration of a man who truly made a difference. His legacy will continue to inspire for years to come.

Lewis Macari 'I'm Loving It Here at Notts County'
Enjoyed reading about Macari’s reflections on his time with Notts County. Switching from Stoke City must have been a significant change, but it’s evident he’s adapting well. His focus on defensive stability is exactly what we need, especially after last season’s issues with clean sheets. His comments on wanting to contribute more and play every game show his passion and dedication. It’s also interesting to note how he reminisces about the hectic nature of his transfer last year. Macari’s journey highlights his resilience and commitment to becoming the best player he can be. Excited to see him in action this season!
