    His time has been marked by spirited and passionate performances, but now is the right time to part ways. This does not diminish what he has achieved during his five-year tenure. Thank you, Connell.

    Curtis Edwards seems like an outstanding fit for Notts. It’s clear he is not just focused on individual success but also on contributing to the team’s overall performance. His comments about preferring a deeper playing position suggest he’ll be pivotal in both defence and attack. I look forward to see how he performs. His experience and mindset might be the key to a successful season for us.

    It was a good straight run, with good passing but the goal is standard and even if it was scored with any other players not many other than those fans of the players would be talking about that.

    It’s a big match for both clubs, the winner will gain crucial points and would it mean there would be pressure on both which sees the match fizzle out to end as a draw? I reckon Notts should be in a better position going into the match but if they start slowly, it could be a different match altogether. I just want to see an entertaining match between two good teams.

    I didn’t reckon it was a handball, I still don’t after seeing the highlights but we must accept it and carry on with what we can control. I don’t want VAR to affect the game at our level and when you have points of discussion like this, it will always lead to that debate.

    He’s a good player on his day, he works hard and gets stuck in. I don’t believe he’s an exact replacement for Matt Palmer but that’s a good thing. His qualities are impressive and what he does similar to Palmer is effective. Those two could be a very strong pair in the heart of midfield.

    I reckon there are aspects to both scenarios that make loan signings good and bad. It’s more about using common sense and bringing in players who have the skill and attitude to do well. Some, even the seasoned players, don’t make an effort because they are merely on loan. But when you sign someone who wants to prove themselves, usually out of favour like Jodi Jones, you can get the best out of them. He’s the prime example of how it can be successful, as he enjoyed his time here so much he signed on a permanent basis and his time here wasn’t a benefit to others. Not that I’m against that, it just counteracts giving our own lads a chance but the likes of Jack Grealish, Callum McGregor and Ryan Yates are good examples of why this does work albeit that Yates’ being recalled did harm the progress the club was making at the time.

    Maynard's adaptability shines through in these unforeseen circumstances, taking the extra training time to improve the squad's understanding of his system. It's a silver lining that could have a tangible impact on the field. His focus on a collaborative club atmosphere, extending beyond the pitch, is what builds the foundation for long-term success. With a manager like that, I feel like the players are going to be as confident and as prepared as they can be, which is all we can ask for ahead of a tough game.
  9. Sirrels County
    Jim O'Brien’s openness in this interview is precisely why I have faith in our team. The clarity and steadiness he has brought during this unpredictable time is crucial. Acknowledging the need to tighten our defense while still pushing our style of play demonstrates a well-considered strategy. Of course, Stockport won't be easy, but I'm confident we're prepared for the challenge.
  10. Sirrels County
    The decision seems illogical, but I can somewhat understand given their recent poor form. Without intervention, they could easily slip into the bottom three. They’re currently on 14 points, with a slim 5-point cushion. The appointment they’ve made only exacerbates the situation, which is quite disappointing. I can’t envision many Forest fans wanting Steve Cooper to leave.
  11. Sirrels County
    It’s encouraging to hear that Kyle Cameron is available for selection. I hope he returns with the determination to lead the defence as we know he’s capable of. A strong partnership could form between him and Aden Baldwin if they communicate effectively and make sound decisions under pressure.
  12. Sirrels County
    I’ve never been particularly fond of Christmas films. While I can watch and find enjoyment in them with others, there aren’t any that I eagerly anticipate each December. My preference leans more towards westerns.
  13. Sirrels County
    I agree with Williams about Stockport County's impressive run this season. They've been standing out as a tough team to beat. But rather than being intimidated, our team, guided by Williams, should take this as a motivation and challenge to step up our game. Resources and strategies are important but ultimately, it's the grit and determination on the pitch that will dictate the result.

    If the land is designated solely for sports use, then housing developers might not be interested in purchasing Meadow Lane unless the Council makes a notable reversal. I suspect that most of the land would be challenging to build on due to the high risk of flooding. While I’m not opposed to the idea of owning the land, I believe it will become a necessity once we regain our status as a Championship team.
  15. Sirrels County
    I’ve made my votes and I’m pleased with my choices. Best of luck to everyone!
  16. Sirrels County
    Crawley might be a tough opponent. I don’t expect them to start poorly, and I think the real action will happen in the second half. The first 45 minutes might be a bit dull, with the excitement picking up after the break. That’s just how football is sometimes, but a victory would be a nice change after Saturday’s loss.
  17. Sirrels County
    Adam Chicksen's return is a much needed silver lining, especially at such a crucial juncture in the season. Williams is right - the team lacks the necessary intensity, and I believe Chicksen could help remedy that. Here's looking forward to a turnaround in our performances.
  18. Sirrels County
    I really appreciate Williams' brutal honesty about the team's performance against Wimbledon. Not afraid to admit where we went wrong, he highlighted the lack of intensity and control that severely hampered Notts County's play throughout the match. It is clear, however, that he has the team's best interests at heart with his constructive criticism and letting the disappointment be known.
  19. Sirrels County
    Can’t they just sink it and blame it on a stray Russian missile or a rogue drone?
  20. Sirrels County
    For the team, I’d nominate @Chris. For members, I’d choose @Piethagoram. Both are straightforward nominations.
  21. Sirrels County
    I think Notts will be under a lot of pressure, so I can understand more about how Luke Williams is handling things. In my opinion, AFC Wimbledon would be happy with a draw. I anticipate a tough match and I just hope that whoever starts performs well because we’re at the point where wins and draws are most important.
  22. Sirrels County
    Well done to Cedwyn Scott and the Wrexham owners. I don’t mind the banter between our two clubs because there’s a level of respect from most people.
  23. Sirrels County
    Think we're all missing a key point here, the pressure on Notts County. Williams is doing an excellent job preparing Notts both for the pressure and the intensity of the game. While he acknowledges Wimbledon's formidable line-up, there's no sense of intimidation. Instead, a clear-headed approach towards facing the challenge. Maintaining performance levels throughout the full match is surely one way to turn the pressure into an advantage.
  24. Sirrels County
    Intriguing to learn about the challenges of recruitment and squad depth and how they are handled. Well done to Williams for sharing insight into this.
  25. Sirrels County
    Superb piece! It's terrific to witness Jodi Jones' trajectory from Notts County to international football. Bravo to him on another Wembley appearance!
