  1. Notts County put on a fantastic performance, securing a well-deserved victory. The team displayed incredible determination and skill throughout the match. Conor Grant, Alex Bass, Matty Platt, and Jacob Bedeau all played exceptional roles in the win. Their contributions were invaluable to the team's success. David McGoldrick once again showcased his goal-scoring prowess with some truly outstanding finishes. His clinical ability was a key factor in securing the victory. Overall, it was a brilliant performance from Notts County. The team's hard work and dedication paid off, and they thoroughly deserved the win.

  3. Sven-Göran Eriksson was more than just the Director of Football at Notts County; he was a visionary. His brief time at the club was marked by both success and transformation. Winning the League Two Championship and securing promotion to League One were significant achievements, but it was his integrity and commitment to the club that truly stood out. His decision to waive his payoff to facilitate a takeover demonstrated his character and dedication. The minute's applause this Saturday will be a fitting tribute to a man who left such a profound impact on Notts. His legacy will be remembered not only in the club's history but also in the hearts of all who admired him.
  4. The lads showed real heart and tenacity to come from behind and secure what could be a pivotal win in our promotion push. McGoldrick was sensational with both goals. His second, in particular, was out of the top drawer. The defence also deserves massive credit for standing firm under relentless pressure from Swindon. Bass’s save towards the end was top-notch. This match was a perfect example of what we can achieve with a blend of skill, experience, and determination. It’s victories like these that can define a season.

  6. I’m really pleased with Notts securing George Abbott on loan. His track record with Tottenham is quite impressive, especially his leadership in winning titles with their Under 21 team. It’s clear that Abbott has the potential to excel, and his versatility can really boost our squad. I appreciate Richard Montague’s enthusiasm about this signing. It’s not every day we get a player who has featured against top clubs like Bayern Munich. I’m looking forward to watching him develop and hopefully become a key player for us this season.
  7. Dan Crowley is my Player of the Month. He's been superb and classy throughout the early part of this current season.
  8. Notts just needs to control the game and manage every minute, ensuring there are no defensive slip-ups. I can see the game being played like the opening-day game against Tranmere, but now we have a bit more quality ready to shine. The starting eleven would probably do much better, so I hope Notts can score a goal or two. As for Swindon, I wouldn't underestimate them, but I think our form is currently better.
  9. Pukka pies are about the only thing I would eat at a football game if I were desperate. The hot dogs are rather bland, so if the club were to look for a nicer replacement, a German sausage could do the trick. It's money the club is missing out on and would be one of the easiest things they could change. The tea bars should have the demand to cater to fans and make money without charging ridiculous amounts.
  10. Wes Thomas played for both teams. He retired after playing for us, but in 2015, he was a Swindon Town player.
  11. It must be disappointing for him. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be, but I really hope he recovers well and can continue with his career. There were times when he was brilliant, taking on players for Notts. I wish him all the best.
  12. What a brilliant move by Notts to sign Lucas Ness! A young, talented defender with a great track record at Charlton Athletic. His experience with 40 senior appearances and multiple Player of the Month awards shows his calibre. I particularly appreciate the detailed planning from our management team, making sure Ness gets enough time to recover and fit in seamlessly. With the injuries in our current defence, Ness’s inclusion is both timely and smart. He’s well-suited for the right centre-back role and has the versatility to cover other positions. Can’t wait to see him bring stability to our defence and maybe even score a few headers!
  13. I think more credit should go to the owners and Jason Palmer’s continued work on the legacy of his predecessor, Jason Turner. Yet, I think it’s a good read and makes some interesting points. It’s true that things will filter down; having a Premier League club in your city will bring attention to any football. Notts would do well to continue the family elements we have offered over the years, because one family member could easily turn into a dozen. Rather than five casual fans, you could have five families of new passionate fans.
  14. I don’t think Notts needs to overthink the game or worry about Grimsby. I agree, training and match preparations are important, but equally important is managing the game as it unfolds. Notts needs to defend as a team, and we as fans should start giving some players some slack.
  15. It’s good play; the speed split Spurs apart, but that shot was a waste of what was an excellent move. I don’t think it could have been any more straightforward. There seemed to be no pace or weight behind the strike. I could have caught the ball in my sleep.
  16. Easy answer: don’t call back unknown numbers and try to research any that do. If the number was important, it would have left a voice message or tried to call back. Just take some simple steps to protect yourself. It’s easy to fall victim to scams, but if you put in measures to limit the risk, the better off you will be.
  17. By charging in, Dion Kelly-Evans does himself no favours. It’s a poor challenge. He gave himself little time to change his mind or to pull out. As fouls go that result in broken legs, it’s not as shocking as Roy Keane’s challenge, but it is a terrible tackle. It deserved a straight red. I also think it would be fair to extend the suspension due to dangerous behaviour. To ban him outright is just madness.

  19. I was going to ask when the next round would be online, as I was a bit worried about missing it again. I will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the update.
  20. I thought Jodi and Crowley were a class apart again today. It was great to see Matty Palmer come on as a sub after his injury woes, and I thought he really made a difference. Also, it was great to see Tsaroulla come on as a sub - he looks a class act and gave us more threat down the left. I felt sorry for Scott, he is not a left winger and it showed. Our defensive frailties are not due to personnel but formation. A 4-2-3-1 would solidify our defence whilst allowing Jodi the licence to utilise his attacking nature. This has been needed even when LW was here, although our free scoring often masked the issue. Possession is irrelevant, as we have shown in every game since SM took over. We have a playoff squad with a relegation manager. Good performance and character though. Good squad now and Matty Palmer is back.
  21. This is a very good insight into Grimsby. I like this feature and how both of their fans came across. It sounds like they might do much better this season than before, ideally not against us.
  22. David McGoldrick’s journey is truly inspiring. Despite limited playing time this season, his focus remains unwavering. His role as a mentor for young talents like Jatta is invaluable, offering wisdom drawn from years at the highest levels of football. McGoldrick’s positive mindset, even when benched, highlights his maturity and understanding of the game’s dynamics. His enduring passion benefits Notts County immensely. Here’s hoping he gets more opportunities to shine in upcoming matches.
  23. It would be great to have some players back from injury or those facing pre-season challenges. It would be a big boost to see Nick Tsaroulla in action. The team seems a bit short-handed at the moment due to absences. It's important for Notts to secure a good result tomorrow. A strong start to the season would help calm the nerves.
  24. What's the deal with Nick Tsaroulla? The media team could give us an update as to where certain players are at, those hampered by pre-season. I'm looking forward to seeing him in the team, from what I have read he's a very good player and should take the left side once available. I have nothing against Adam Chicken but his form seems lacking. Is Scott Robertson also injured? Notts seems quite closed lips on who is out. I'm hoping some of the signings don't repeat the Will Randall and Junior Morias path, wasted potential. With the squad we have, the club can't afford to have players out for prolonged periods. It would help to see the best players available tomorrow.
  25. I think Stallard's analysis of the match against Shrewsbury Town is spot on. It’s disappointing to be knocked out on penalties, but there are so many positives to take from it. I was particularly impressed by our first-half performance; we played with such confidence and control. The second half was tough, but it's part of the game. Stallard’s comments about the substitutions make sense too; they were necessary for the long-term benefits of the squad.
