  1. Well said in the message. It’s high time that England excelled in major tournaments.
  2. He seems promising. I believe that having a balanced set of centre backs is beneficial, and it’s even better that he can also play in wider positions. From a defensive standpoint, this is the kind of signing you want when you’ve already brought on board three very competent centre backs. Alex Kirk could turn out to be an excellent acquisition.
  3. He did nothing to establish a connection with the fans or the club, nor did he strive to perform well enough to secure a place in the squad. His signing was quite wasteful, as his playing time could have been allocated to a player from the youth team instead.
  4. Brinds is a good player. I believe Eastleigh will provide him with a platform to advance his career. He could make a return to the EFL; he deserves to play league football.
  5. I’m all set for the England game tonight. I’m not expecting a strong performance, but we need to be defensively solid. The Netherlands has some talented attacking players who will punish us if we give them space. However, we could cause them problems defensively.
  6. Wycombe will likely approach the game in the same way we will, so there might not be much to take from the friendly. As fans, we don’t need to pay too much attention, just keep an eye on the trialists and see how they perform. There are a few who, if they perform well against Wycombe, might be offered a contract.
  7. It’s frustrating to see some people already calling for Stuart Maynard’s dismissal over a friendly match. I doubt many of those criticising actually attended the game. Even if they did, I don’t think they understand the purpose of these pre-season games. Worryingly, I suspect they will continue their criticism into the season, regardless of his performance. It’s starting to feel personal, but the friendly was a good exercise for Notts.
  8. He had the option to stay and potentially continue as captain or be demoted to vice-captain. The vice-captain doesn’t necessarily have to start games, but the club’s decision to let him go suggests they were content to part ways. I had a liking for Kyle Cameron and believed he could have performed better with a stable back three. I had similar feelings about Aden Baldwin.

  11. Welcome to PON @StanfordPie, PON is a very good site and community.
  12. I hope by now you have settled into PON, welcome from me @Morten Johansen.
  13. It’s truly tragic what happened to Tommy Lawton in his later years. However, his footballing accomplishments and earlier life weren’t all bad. It’s just heart-wrenching that he passed away without any family around.
  14. Hello, welcome @Bertinez. PON is a good site.
  15. Hello, welcome @i961pie. PON is a good site.
  16. With Italy now out of the Euros, it’s crucial for England to reach the final. Both Switzerland and Austria have proven to be challenging teams, with Austria showing a slight edge. However, if England doesn’t demonstrate their prowess by securing a spot in the final, it would indeed be a letdown.

  21. Hello and a warm welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @Pies79! We’re thrilled to have you join our community of Notts County enthusiasts. Here’s to many engaging discussions and shared moments of football joy!
  22. Well, he’s joining a team that has a recent and robust promotion season under their belt. Rod McDonald is another player who has tasted promotion, joining a squad that defied the odds to reach League One. Here’s hoping he can add a third promotion to his tally.
  23. As an observer, I can see that there are groups of people who obviously know each other, but unlike other communities, it’s not divisive or that they see themselves as superior. It’s about people getting along and making everyone feel welcome, which is refreshing to see. Communities are all about this, when you see people enjoying themselves and continuing the conversation, it’s wonderful.
  24. It may not be the largest space, but it could serve well as a fan zone. It’s important that all profits go back to Notts, as this will support improvements in other areas. The club is taking on a very ambitious project.
  25. It’s just like Notts to control the game, keep the pressure on, but then let in a goal. People are making too much of Stuart Maynard’s words about crosses. He might have just slipped up. Jatta might not be the best at handling crosses unless he can bring them down, as he prefers the ball at his feet. Some say he’s not good in the air, but I’d still have given him a chance. I won’t use a stressed head coach’s words to prove a point; it’s not that important. Some of our supporters on social media wouldn’t cope with being in management for even a day.
