Martin Paterson’s Black and White Army! Like I’ve said, when we’re being linked with the likes of Luke Williams, the Danish Under-21 manager, and others, it’s always going to feel like a letdown if the final choice doesn’t match what fans were hoping for. The Reedtz brothers haven’t let us down, though. Every time people question them, they keep pushing Notts forward. They’ve built something special. Maybe the one thing they could’ve done differently was back Stuart Maynard the same way they’re backing Paterson. But that’s easy to say now, looking back. It could even be that they’re putting more focus on the coaching team this time because of what happened before.

If the person given the job had proper experience in management, and not just a short time at Burton, then more fans might be willing to give it a chance. What I find unfair is how some are already turning on the Reedtz, saying they'll regret the decision. Others are claiming they aren't serious or are turning into another version of the Trews. That seems harsh this early on. Being linked with Luke Williams hasn't helped, and neither has the delay. It also makes people wonder about other head coaches who might have been available. For now, all we can really do is hope they've chosen the right person.

It wouldn’t be such a big deal, but one year there weren’t enough home shirts ordered. We were told they’d arrive before Christmas, but they turned up much later. I like Puma, but the club really should look at their performance more closely before signing another long-term deal. The idea of an exclusive shirt was solid, but it just wasn’t put into action well.

Belated birthday wishes to you @Fan of Big Tone, its good to see you are living the rewards of many years of hard work.

Ollie's addition couldn’t come at a better time. Having a player of his calibre express faith in Notts County’s project underlines that we are on a positive trajectory. His remarks about adapting to League Two’s demands are a reminder of the qualities needed to succeed. Our squad needs that experience and know-how he promises to share. Furthermore, it’s reassuring to know he values the role of supporters. Our loyal fans are an integral part of the club’s identity, and his acknowledgment of this strengthens the bond between the players and the stands. Not only does he bring a wealth of experience, but also a shared commitment to fulfilling the club’s objectives, making his signing quite pivotal.

Love how Tsaroulla took his goal, he reacted so quickly, and it was a great finish. But what stands out most is his attitude. He’s not just talking about his own performance; he’s praising the fans and focusing on how the whole team is improving. That’s exactly what you want from a player. Defensively, we’re getting better every game, and it’s clear the squad is buying into what Maynard is doing. The best teams find ways to win even when they’re not at their best, and we showed that fight against Gillingham. Tsaroulla deserves all the praise, but it was a full team effort. Feels like we’re building something special here!

Happy birthday, Neil! You made us dream big again.

Interesting move for Leicester City, but as a Notts fan, I’ve seen enough managerial turnover to know stability is key. I am not exactly sure how this appointment will turn out, I half expect it to end in tears, but he could do well. They need someone who they will stand by, so hopefully it won't end in disaster for them.

Martin Allen is such a character. I’ve followed his career since his days at West Ham, but his stint at Notts County was special. The way he galvanised the team to avoid relegation in 2011 was impressive, and his honest approach to football management is refreshing. This event promises to be a real treat, count me in!

I’ve been really impressed by how McGoldrick is handling this season. He’s playing with the energy of a much younger man but with the wisdom that only comes from years of experience. The way he described knowing he’d score the penalty, even after playing 95 minutes, just shows how much belief he has in himself. It’s great to have a player like him in the squad, especially one who cares as much about the team’s success as his own. His comments on clean sheets show his maturity, he understands that we need to be solid at the back to win matches, which is crucial. McGoldrick is the kind of leader we need if we want to keep pushing for promotion.
