  1. While it is true, remember that the more minutes the youngsters get, the more they will learn and grow in confidence. It’s hard to judge a youngster when they are just settling into the team. I thought all the youngsters looked capable of playing alongside what I would consider to be a much weakened Notts side. Experienced players like Adam Chicksen, Sam Austin, Rod McDonald, and Kellan Gordon all helped the youngsters. Chicksen was the first to respond to Riley Reynolds. The ball from Reynolds was perfect. Yes, it was a simple pass, but he didn’t hesitate and knew exactly where Gordon was.
  2. Kellan Gordon gets my vote. He had a good game. I thought he played a big part in us winning it.
  3. It's moments like these that make you appreciate the work done at the Academy. Kameron Muir stepping onto the pitch at 15 years old is not just a win for him, but for the entire Academy setup. To have the right guidance and mentorship at that age is crucial, and it’s obvious that Jake Henry and his team have done wonders with him. What stood out to me was Kameron’s calmness throughout the whole experience. For a lad that young to take it all in stride is impressive. The fact that he’s so grounded will help him go far in his career. Really looking forward to seeing how he progresses from here, hopefully, this is just the start.

  5. I think it’s unlikely. It will take a special player to beat it, and I don’t see Macaulay Langstaff coming back to Notts, at least with years on his playing time to beat the total. He might come back when he’s over 30, but no time soon. I also doubt anyone will outscore Langstaff for some time.
  6. I think Meadow Lane will be buzzing. Stuart Maynard has called upon us to be the 12th man, and we need to make sure we don’t get on top of our own players because Gillingham may want that. I hope the majority can keep it positive, even if we hit a snag like we did against Bromley. It won’t be any easier against The Gills, but we need to make sure we are good going forward and solid at the back. We have to want the ball.
  7. It’s a loss. I’m glad fans realise this because he has been great since joining the squad. I would rather start Edwards instead of bringing him off the bench. I think he’s more influential starting, but it’s sad that he will be out for a few months.
  8. Crowley has really emerged as a linchpin for the team. His contributions on the pitch, scoring and assisting in crucial games, have not gone unnoticed. It’s refreshing to see a player so grounded and focused despite the success. His reflections on last season’s shortcomings and the understanding that they’ve learned and grown from it show a mature and strategic mindset. The stability provided by the coaching staff and the clear playing philosophy have undoubtedly made a huge difference. It’s fantastic to have a player like Crowley who loves the club and remains steadfast amidst external speculations.
  9. It’s amazing how quickly the tickets sold out, a true reflection of our passionate fanbase. The Wembley final is still fresh in my memory, all the drama, the highs, the lows, and those crucial penalty saves. The lads showed immense character that day, and it's fantastic to see that spirit carrying forward. As we look ahead to Chesterfield, it’s not just about reliving past glories but also measuring our progress. I believe this game will be a real test for both teams, and I’m eager to see who comes out on top. Let’s bring that same energy and fight to Chesterfield!
  10. That was peak excitement! Going 2-0 down so early had me on edge, but credit to the lads for fighting back. Jodi Jones was immense today, winning and scoring the penalty that kick-started our comeback. Crowley’s goal right after the break set the tone for the second half, and Jatta’s finish was clinical. Bass making those crucial saves kept us in the game. Also, Jones' second goal was a beauty, and it's great to see him fit and firing again. The team's resilience is a sign of good things to come. I’m more optimistic about our promotion chances now than ever before.
  11. Jodi Jones' contract extension is fantastic news for Notts. His performances last season were nothing short of spectacular, and it's clear why he became a fan favourite so quickly. His ability to adapt to different positions on the pitch, especially moving from the left to his more natural right wing, has been pivotal. Jones’ versatility gives the team a lot of options and makes our attack more dynamic. I'm particularly pleased with his willingness to improve and develop his game, especially focusing on scoring more goals. It’s great to see a player so dedicated.

  13. Can't help but feel optimistic about the new season. The signings during the summer have been spot on! Alex Bass has strengthened our goalkeeping position significantly, and the defensive duo of Jacob Bedeau and Matty Platt seems like a perfect match, bringing both physicality and intelligence to the backline. Midfield depth has been bolstered tremendously, with Curtis Edwards and Jack Hinchy showing they can control games. I particularly love how Conor Grant transitions the ball from defence to attack. It's an exciting time for us fans. The squad feels well-rounded, and there's a real sense of optimism around Meadow Lane.
  14. Steff Bale’s reflections on Bromley lend a lot of insight, particularly regarding their solid defensive line and key players. It’s interesting to note that Bromley has managed to blend experienced players with young talent effectively. Notts will certainly need to watch out for their pressing game, especially down the flanks. With the tactics driven by modern analysis and a calm approach from the manager, Bromley seems well-prepared for the challenges in League 2. Notts will need to leverage their attacking strengths and maintain focus right until the end to overcome Bromley’s resilience. It’s set to be an intriguing game.
  15. Paul Devlin came to Notts County and earned the admiration of our fans with his performance and dedication. He moved through the ranks and eventually played for Birmingham City. Devlin continued to impress with his goal-scoring ability and hard work. His international appearances with Scotland were the icing on the cake of an already impressive career. Devlin's story will continue to inspire football fans and players for many years to come. He is truly a legend.
  16. I have to echo the sentiments shared by many, Stuart Maynard has done an outstanding job. It’s brilliant to see Notts County maintaining their unbeaten run despite some key absences. The tactical awareness to break Accrington Stanley's man-for-man press was evident and executed flawlessly. David McGoldrick continues to be a standout performer, and his leadership on the field is paying dividends. Young George Abbott’s performance also gives fans a lot to be excited about. His maturity on the ball is beyond his years. The crowd’s support at Meadow Lane is the icing on the cake. Keep it up, lads!

  19. What struck me most about Edwards' reflections was his humility and gratitude. Despite a fantastic performance, he remains focused on hard work and team success. His advanced positioning on the pitch clearly played to his strengths and added a new dimension to our game. The way he’s adapted to his new role and settled into life at Notts County speaks volumes about his character. Also, hearing about the fans' support at Meadow Lane was wonderful. The connection between the players and the supporters is crucial, and it’s great to see Edwards acknowledging that bond. I am optimistic about the future with players like him leading the charge.
  20. I feel sorry for Sam Stubbs. It sounds like his injury is seeing him go out on loan. I hope he gets his career back on track.
  21. Chris and Alex have done wonderfully well. They are prepared to put the club first and have shown strong leadership. The fact they don’t crumble to the fans, especially those who call for the manager so often and complain that it’s embarrassing when the club does, shows their focus on making sure the club achieves its goals not in the short but long term.
  22. I thought Notts were class throughout the game. I felt very impressed that nerves never seemed to be a problem. As for Grimsby scoring, it was a consolation goal for the travelling 1,400 odd fans that took the trip on Thursday afternoon. They were pretty quiet most of the time, but that dedication to attending the fixture deserves respect. We should have all gone home very happy. Isn’t it good not to have any complaints about the referee? For once, it was Grimsby fans calling out the official. Stuart Maynard has the chance to get this out of the squad more often, and it shows how the squad are settling in together.
  23. I can’t imagine working in football, especially for the club you support. Whilst it could be the dream job, I think there are aspects that could make you end up disliking football. It’s not an easy thing to do for work, but good luck to him.
  24. A lot of teething problems, hopefully the club will improve it. It might take a bit of time, but since Notts are unlikely to switch platforms again, it should be fixed.
  25. We shouldn’t worry. Our players will always be linked with other clubs. The main thing is to have hope that the club can discourage offers. Having players near to their expiry may tempt clubs to wait, or they might put in lower offers. I would be more pleased to see the club extending the contracts of the players they deem to be important.
