  1. Watching the match, I was particularly impressed with how Notts County handled the dual threats of fatigue and an energetic opposition. Initially, it looked like fatigue might cost us the game, but when the substitutes came on, they added a new layer of aggression and dynamism. Full credit to Williams for his smart substitutions! The match had a high tempo throughout, resulting in a few casualties on our end, but the lads managed to push through and clinch a win. It's clear to see how much this victory meant to everyone, not just for the morale, but also for the solidarity it fostered.
  2. It's hard to swallow such a hard defeat and the subsequent brutal assessment from our coach, Luke Williams. Yet, perhaps it’s the transparency we need to catalyse changes in our performance. The lack of composure and control during the first half was evident, and it's time for a review of strategies. Looking at Wimbledon, we need to emulate their fantastic energy and upright performance. On a positive note, Aaron Nemane's goal gives us something to celebrate amidst the harsh realities. Here's hoping we make a comeback stronger and more determined.
  3. Such an insightful read! Highlights the resilience of the team and the leadership of players like Dan. Here's hoping we get our injured players back soon.
  4. Williams astutely recognises Wimbledon’s unity as their strength, making them a tough opponent. He also emphasises the need for Notts County to connect with their fans, subtly highlighting the importance of public support. This shows his empathetic leadership style, considering both the opposition and audience expectation.
  5. It wouldn’t be suitable to have safe standing in the middle of the KOP or at higher levels. It should be in a location that’s easy to access and safe, away from other areas. A spot behind the goal and upwards wouldn’t be a poor choice. The lower left KOP Pavis side might not be too bad. The same could be applied to the Pavis, on the lower right KOP side.
  6. Is it likely that Dan Gosling will have his first start? It seems doubtful, but we’re in a good position to perform well away from home. The back three, Kyle Cameron, Richard Brindley, and Aden Baldwin, are a given. Remember, Jodi Jones is suspended!
  7. Encouraging news, many fans who attended seemed happier. However, it’s crucial that we invest money to benefit from the larger crowds Notts are attracting. The club has always had the potential to draw good crowds, it just needed owners who would let the staff do what’s necessary.
  8. The pub is a brilliant plan, the KOP's been longing for something of this sort for ages. If the club and owners keep putting the earnings back in, the facilities around the entire ground will only get better. It's a lovely upgrade!
  9. It takes a strong leader to openly accept the shortcomings. What we saw in the first half was commendable. Williams' vision splendidly executed. But the stark difference in the performance in the second half was jarring. On a positive note, it gives a clear area of focus, to maintain that momentum and not to let it fade. Looking forward to the next Notts match.
  10. Playing at Wembley, a childhood dream for countless footballers worldwide, Jones has achieved this remarkable feat not once but twice. His fond recollections about waiting to get Saka's shirt through Madison show the humble human behind the successful footballer. The mention of his great nan, an ardent supporter despite difficulties in travelling, adds another layer of poignancy to this incredible journey. Each time Jones steps onto the pitch, he personifies resilience and relatability. Indeed, Living the dream.
  11. Wow, 5,000 is such a huge number! It's great to see that we're reaching this milestone considering the current state of the club. However, when Saturday comes, I really hope that Notts stays completely focused on the game itself. We can still celebrate regardless of the outcome, but by removing any doubt and staying focused, it shows a strong commitment. And of course, a positive result would make the achievement even more special, but winning isn't everything. Whenever I think about how Notts County almost didn't exist, it fills me with gratitude for what we have now.
  12. Impressive is the term that perfectly captures his accomplishments thus far, but the recent outcome presents a challenge. It is crucial for him to prioritise defensive prowess, and if he manages to achieve this and witness an enhanced performance in that aspect against Swindon, it will demonstrate his ability to address such disappointing results. Every aspect of his conduct, communication, and diligent efforts is truly gratifying to observe. I am optimistic that Luke Williams can bolster the defensive line, as encounters like this one often have the potential to shift the momentum, and unnecessary negative remarks are unwelcome at this juncture.
  13. I consistently cast my vote, but it seems that people often make significant errors when they do, resulting in challenging times. Leading a country is an arduous task, and the Conservative Party (Tories) seems to appeal to both affluent and misguided individuals as their supporters. England requires a leader endowed with strength of character, benevolence, and unwavering determination. Unfortunately, none of the present party leaders possess these qualities. In my opinion, Ed Davey is utterly untrustworthy, incapable of even safeguarding an empty pint glass, let alone guiding our nation.
  14. I agree, we need to consider where we've come from and where we currently stand. We managed to score and put up a good fight, despite the problems we faced defensively, which were difficult to watch at times. John Bostock is an extremely important player in our team, who remains composed and isn't easily dispossessed. We definitely missed his presence, and although I believe he should have been in the starting lineup, on any other day, the outcome would have been different. Colchester United played exceptionally well, and they deserve credit for that.
  15. Well, it was difficult to watch at times. Defensively, we made a real mess of it, and any other day we would have won. John Bostock is such a crucial part of what drives us forward, and his absence was felt at the back. On the positive side, we are currently in first place, and we usually bounce back strongly after these kinds of setbacks.
  16. Reading about Austin's perspective on Notts' success was enlightening. His emphasis on understanding the level of competition and focusing on their own game shows a mature approach to football. It's clear that he values hard work and dedication, both on and off the pitch.
  17. Fly high and rest in peace, Colin Murphy.
  18. Hello @Benji, get involved and have fun on PON.
  19. Hello @Ryan Raynor, get involved and have fun on PON.
  20. Jodi Jones’ journey in football is a shining example of determination and adaptability. His transition from international to club football shows his knack for adjusting and excelling in varying conditions and styles of play, which is no small feat. Jones’ observations on the physical aspects of international football, particularly the different playing positions, provide an intriguing look into the tactical intricacies of the game. His unwavering dedication and commitment to football are truly inspiring and suggest a promising future for both him and Notts.
  21. Great job! Notts performed exceptionally, and I must admit that Salford's performance was lackluster, though they had their moments of brilliance. In my opinion, any team that refuses to surrender even when trailing by two goals with only ten minutes left deserves commendation. Dan Crowley's performance was outstanding.
  22. Notts showed great resilience to come from behind and secure a good point away from home, Kyle Cameron leading by example with his second-half strike to get us the draw. I can't be disappointed with the outcome, we tried and it wasn't to be.
  23. I completely agree with Luke's emphasis on the importance of home victories and fan support. Meadow Lane is certainly an inspirational ground and one can really feel the atmosphere when the team is performing well. It's great to see Williams recognising that the fans have a role to play. We all do our bit to cheer on the team, after all.
  24. I hope we can avoid any upset if the worst happens. I don’t want to write Notts County off, but a team like MK Dons will always be the favourite at home, and it will take some time for Notts County to overcome this. We are a great side that is improving, but I do worry that they will just be the better team on the day. I would take a draw without any complaints.
  25. I suspect that Notts County will try to sell out their full capacity for this game, which always looks impressive with the Sky cameras around. I am looking forward to recording the game, just to see what the pundits and host have to say about our club. It will make a change from putting up with BT Sports, who only started talking positively about us last season when we were doing phenomenally well.
