    He seems like a good player. Spurs fans have said great things about him. He looks like a young player who is ready for the next step in his career. He doesn't seem nervous or unprepared. The way he talks, how Spurs fans talk about him, and his appearance are all encouraging.

    I don't trust The72 and FLW too much. They often write clickbait articles. However, Ken Aboh and Dajaune Brown might be good players to consider. If we sign one of them, they shouldn't be guaranteed a starting spot. They need to work hard to earn their place on the team.

    I think we should go all out against Swindon. Press them high, force turnovers, and create chances. We need to be wary of their set pieces, but if we can dominate possession and score early goals, we can control the game. The team's recent form gives me confidence that we can get the win. Let's make it happen!

    It's encouraging to hear Maynard's optimism despite the challenges of the transfer window. While we've yet to secure an away win, the recent victory over Grimsby has given us a much-needed boost. The club's aggressive approach to the transfer market, coupled with Maynard's emphasis on squad depth and quality, suggests that we're heading in the right direction. Hopefully, the remaining signings can help us solidify our position and achieve our goals this season.

    Good luck to Matt Smith. When he left Salford, he said it was with a heavy heart, and now he’s retired. I wasn’t aware he came into football late, at 20, I think I read.

    Awful news. It’s such a shame that his ACL continues to be a problematic issue for him. He worked hard to recover after his injury problems with us, and I hope he gets the medical care he needs.

    This article really opened my eyes to the life of Tom Keetley, a player I’d heard of but didn’t know much about. His record-breaking feats for Notts are legendary, and it’s incredible to think about how much he achieved during his career. Scoring 39 goals in one season is something most players can only dream of, and it’s no wonder he’s still held in such high regard by the club’s fans. However, learning about the struggles he faced after retirement was quite sobering. It’s clear that footballers in his era didn’t have the same support systems that players do today, and his story serves as a reminder of how important it is to plan for the future beyond football. Keetley was a true legend, both for his on-field achievements and the lessons his life teaches us.

    This bit of business is very promising. The defence now looks the strongest we have had in years, and there’s the prospect of much of the back growing together over a number of seasons, provided we keep them. It’s good to see the club striving to be solid at the back. Lucas Ness should be a good addition.
  11. NottsCountyKev
    Good questions. I think Fleetwood might give us a very tough home game. They won’t want to face their first loss of the season, but I believe we have a strong squad. I hope we don’t settle for a draw and can impress enough to win.
  12. NottsCountyKev
    Stuart Maynard seems to have a clear vision for Notts County this season, and it's great to see. The team was dominant in possession and defensively sound, which is a strong foundation to build on. While the game against Tranmere didn't yield any goals, the opportunities were there. Maynard’s point about needing better execution in the final third is spot on. It was a challenging match, but with a few key players out and a debutant in Conor Grant making such an impact, the signs are promising.
  13. NottsCountyKev
    I think a draw is a fair result, even though we had the better chances and more possession. Tranmere defended well and kept us from scoring, but we also showed a lot of promise. The team looked cohesive, and Bass did an outstanding job in goal. It's early in the season, so there’s plenty of time to work on our finishing. If we continue to play like this, I’m confident we’ll start putting away games soon. Our midfield was especially strong, and it’s clear they’ll be a crucial part of our game plan moving forward. A bit more work in training, and we’ll start seeing the results we want.

    It could be a miserable day for fans. If Notts do well, the doubters and constant fault-finders will be upset that they have to wait to continue moaning about the club. If the club doesn’t do well, they will be out in force. If we draw, it won’t please most, even if it is a good match. I think we should all be hoping for the best. Tranmere wasn’t that good last season, and with the improvements Notts has made, we should be better. It all depends on how well their new players fit in.
  15. NottsCountyKev
    Swindon’s owner, Clem Morfuni, seems very dedicated to improving the club. Increasing the budget has allowed some impressive signings like Grant Hall and Will Wright, both strong defenders. Injuries have been a problem for Hall, but if he stays fit, he could be among the best in the league. Their new wing-backs, Longelo and Sobowale, bring some young energy to the team, and Harry Smith offers a different attacking option with his height and presence in the box. Despite all these positives, the tension between fans and the board is worrying. Success on the pitch often depends on harmony off it.
  16. NottsCountyKev
    MK Dons’ attacking depth looks formidable this season. Despite losing their top scorer Max Dean, the arrival of Callum Hendry offers hope. Competition between Hendry, Harrison, and Dennis should ensure no shortage of goals. The midfield creativity from the likes of Connor Lemonheigh-Evans, Tommy Leigh, and Alex Gilbey is top-notch. With such talent behind the strikers, they should break down defences easily. However, defensive frailties cost them dearly last season. New signings Sherring and Offord must step up. Williamson's possession-based style is attractive but needs to be backed by a solid defence. If they get it right, they are obvious favourites. But caution is needed; overconfidence could be their undoing.

    Happy to see Scott bounce back from his injury. His determination and readiness for the new season are promising. It's also great to see him stepping into the number 9 role. His resilience after that injury is commendable!

    Welcome to Meadow Lane, Carter Foxe. It’s wonderful to see another young player sign their first professional contract.
  19. NottsCountyKev
    It’s beneficial when the club releases videos like this, providing an opportunity to learn more about Ryley Reynolds. He appears to be a highly promising player, and I hope he demonstrates a strong enough character to push for more game time. The same goes for all the younger and fringe players. Competition is the best way to achieve good form.
  20. NottsCountyKev
    I’ll be keeping a close eye on the updates, keen to see how things progress and which players excel. This should be the time when the starting eleven begins to take shape, and hopefully, we’ll witness that. For those heading to York, I hope the weather is pleasant and you enjoy the friendly match.
  21. NottsCountyKev
    I heard a while back that Walsall and Swindon Town were showing interest in him, as reported by local newspapers. I’m not sure how serious or genuine those interests were, but I would have thought he’d have been signed by now. He’s a talented player, but it’s unfortunate that if we were to be promoted, he would be quite far down the pecking order in the squad. If he stayed to play this season, his opportunities would likely be limited.
  22. NottsCountyKev
    I don’t expect Notts to win every friendly match, especially ones like this where the home team has the advantage of familiarity. We essentially have two squads for each half of the game, plus substitutes who come on to see how they perform. I haven’t seen any indication of trialists playing in the game.
  23. NottsCountyKev
    As a season ticket holder, I have friends who casually support Notts who might consider this offer. They usually attend when the weather is pleasant or when the team is performing well. It’s more of a social event for them. This is definitely something casual fans should think about.
