  1. As much as the competition is about winning, it's also about making lasting memories on the prestigious stage. With Williams steering the ship and the likes of players such as Morias, the match against Shrewsbury is set to be an eventful one. Here's to a spirited match and, hopefully, a win to remember! COYP!
  2. This was a match that truly showcased Notts County’s grit, commitment, and spirit. It was heartening to see every player stepping up, taking responsibility, and playing their part in securing the win. Williams’ management of the substitutes, especially considering the physical strain on the players, was particularly commendable. Junior’s pressing was of the highest quality, and his energy seemed to lift everyone around him!
  3. Although I primarily read and comment on the articles here, I also browse the forum and find many insightful posts from good contributors. I’ve cast my vote on this.
  4. We’re currently experiencing a typical transition, and unlike past League Two seasons, teams are securing the most beneficial results at home. Crawley might pose a challenge tonight, but Notts must strive to create opportunities. We need to improve defensively, but I also believe we need to stabilise our backline and only make changes when compelled by injury or suspension. Notts has the potential to defeat any team in this league at home, especially at the fantastic Meadow Lane stadium during night games. Let’s hope for the best outcome and performance tonight.
  5. Wendy’s story is a touching testament to her lasting affection for Notts County. She shifted her allegiance from Forest to Notts at a young age and has steadfastly maintained it through various stages of her life. Her commitment isn’t just fair-weather, flourishing in times of victory and fading during defeats. Instead, Wendy’s support for Notts is steadfast, a type of resilience that truly embodies the spirit of our club.
  6. What a fantastic read about Ben Davies! His journey through the football world is truly inspiring. His time at Notts was marked by some stellar performances and memorable moments. His passion for the game and his ability to connect with fans made him a favourite. It’s always a pleasure to reminisce about players like Davies who have left an indelible mark on the club. His contribution to the team during his stint was significant and he will always be remembered fondly by the fans. It’s players like him that make football such a beautiful game.
  7. Wes Thomas, who played for Crawley Town, was a speedy and effective striker. I believe his departure from his football career left a void that we felt.
  8. We have to accept results like this, there’s no use in dwelling on it. As frustrating as it can be, I think we all recognise the need for a stronger, more organised presence at the back and I don’t believe pinning our hopes on Lewis Macari is the right move.
  9. Infusing the concept of fan connection into marketing strategies is a paradigm shift that others should learn from Notts County. It's not just about winning new fans, it's about making sure each fan feels the thrill regardless of where they are. This is what makes match day such an electric experience. And we appreciate that the leadership is striving to enhance that sense of camaraderie and connection further.
  10. Fantastic win last Saturday! That first half was a spectacle, absolutely left Bradford reeling. Crowley was on fire and the 'blitz' he mentioned, just phenomenal to watch as we surged ahead. I wholeheartedly agree though, managing the second half better is something we should aim at. On a positive note, Crowley's honesty about room for improvement promises an even better future. Success can sometimes engender complacency but it's clear we have a squad and specifically a star like Dan, who won’t let that happen. His understanding of the game, his hard work, and his commitment to improvement... it’s inspiring. Notts County's on an ascending trajectory and I, for one, am thrilled to see where we end up.
  11. This article provides a sobering reality check for us Notts fans. From trying to keep pace with top-performing clubs, dealing with rumours of Williams' departure, to preparing for a revamped Bradford City, the challenges seem endless. However, what's reassuring is that our team’s resilience isn't wavering. There's a determination to learn from past experiences, which is essential for growth.
  12. It's absolutely delightful how this article showcases Williams deflecting rumours that point towards him leaving our beloved club. Despite speculation sparked off by Rodrigues' statement made in the heat of the moment, it is impressive how Williams remains unfazed, making for a paradigm of a steadfast club servant. His commitment sparks a beacon of continuity we've been yearning for. Speaks volumes about the deep-seated connection he holds for the club, which I find truly commendable.
  13. Williams’ readiness to meet Crewe head-on speaks volumes of the resilience nurtured at Notts. Also, the potential for an exhilarating FA Cup run has added a delicious layer of anticipation. It's a testament to the heightened emotions, thrill, and unpredictability that make football the beloved global sport it is. The focus on strategic methodology and the dedication to triumph has provided an enlightening perspective into tomorrow's match.
  14. Luke Williams' insights are indeed valuable, and his comments on Dan Gosling are much appreciated. There's no need for him to elaborate much, as most football enthusiasts are likely familiar with Gosling and his contributions to the team. Given his age, he is at a point where his peak performance and experience will enable him to excel, so it will be interesting to see his progress. Reflecting on Williams' remarks, he consistently provides a warm perspective on how he envisions a player's role and what we might anticipate. On paper, this appears to be an excellent signing, despite some concerns about injuries due to Gosling's past sidelining. However, he is expected to recover and become a significant influence on the team.
  15. Gosling seems incredibly eager to play for Notts and that's exactly the spirit we need. His respect for the club and its management, combined with his readiness to challenge himself in a new league, says volumes about his attitude as a player. A club can have all the talented players in the world, but it's the passion, drive, and determination that often makes the real difference. I, for one, am very excited to see what Gosling brings to the team.
  16. It's fascinating to see Notts County's journey through the Football League in such a tangible way. We're about to mark a historic milestone, our 5000th match, another feather in our already illustrious cap. Seeing our past landmark games brought back a lot of memories. Whatever happens in the Gillingham match, we're already a part of a historic tradition, and that’s something to be proud of.
  17. There's just something poignant about reaching this extraordinary milestone. It's as if Notts has journeyed through time, weathered countless storms, and yet stands stronger and prouder than ever before. The homage to our past is definitely something I hold dear to my heart, as it serves as a reminder about the illustrious figures who've graced our club, they're not just footnotes in history books, but giants whose studied stride and masterful plays have breathed life into Notts County.
  18. The PoN site is a superb online resource. As someone who doesn’t engage with social media, I’ve felt somewhat adrift. I have a preference for reading over watching, hence this site and the official one are two crucial components for me. It’s heartening to see the community making a comeback after what must have been a challenging ordeal.
  19. It’s indeed beneficial to be aware of the menu and activity streams. I’ll certainly utilise them during my site visits. The ‘all content’ activity stream is a particularly nice feature.
  20. I found the content of the article to be spot on, and I shared your indignation upon discovering that the site had been compromised. I’m immensely grateful that the site is back up and running, and it appears to be loading more smoothly than before. The decision to not only relocate but also enhance the site was a wise one. Although I don’t typically participate in forum discussions, I felt compelled to do so after receiving an email notification about this incident.
  21. I couldn't agree more with this piece. The support of Notts County fans is what sets this club apart. Our cheers, chants, and roars make the experience of football so much richer, not just for us but for the players too. We're not just spectators, but active participants, and that’s the beauty of our relationship with the club. This symbiotic relationship is what makes football at Notts County so extraordinary.
  22. Hats off to McGoldrick for showcasing such a veteran display. His fierce attitude and exceptional football skills shone bright throughout the game. Despite the shift in momentum, the way he held his ground is a testimony to his superior game sense. This victory will surely send waves of motivation across the club. It's not just about being at the top of the table, but also about maintaining that position. The road ahead is long and tough!
  23. I must nod to our opponent's flair and adaptability. Their response to us taking a 2-0 lead, even though initially rattled, was inspirational. Each team had standout moments, I appreciate this thrilling encounter. It was a glimpse of football at its best - unpredictable, intense, and truly entertaining.
  24. I couldn't be prouder of Notts County's performance. The tremendous teamwork, resilience, and ability to respond under pressure was indeed commendable. It had its fair share of heart-stopping moments, but the grit and determination of the team helped secure that win. Seeing Langstaff and Crowley light up the first half and Bostock and McGoldrick step up during the critical moments of the second half demonstrated the squad depth and balance we have. Kudos to the entire team on maintaining the unbeaten streak!
  25. I can't help but admire and appreciate the indomitable spirit and tenacity exhibited by the Notts players on and off the pitch. It's clear that their success stems not just from talent but also from their rigorous training, a strong mindset and an unwavering 'no-excuse' mentality. Crowley's comments reveal the ethos that is driving their performances.
