Welcome, @StanfordPie. It's good to see you on PON. ????????

Hello, @Robbie__64. Welcome to the site. ???????? It's good to see you have settled in well.

Hello, @Morten Johansen. Welcome to the site. ????????

Looking back, it’s clear how much progress we’ve made. It’s vital to curb the pessimism to make the most of the start Notts has had. The players need our support, so let’s cheer them on. Expecting consecutive promotions is challenging, but if there’s a way we can assist, we should certainly try.

Recruitment will play a crucial role in keeping our season on track, and as fans, we can contribute too. Let’s halt the negativity and focus on the positives. It’s okay to discuss past events, but we also need to look at the brighter side. We’ve made our way back to the EFL and are aiming for League One. Let’s take it one step at a time.

There's no denying that our upcoming match against Stockport will be a tough one. However, I'm confident that Notts possesses the capability to leave a lasting impression. Our recent performances haven't been up to par, making it all the more important for us to respond with determination and speed. We must capitalise on our strong points, draw lessons from our previous matches, and strive for a powerful display. In light of our current form, securing a draw would be a noteworthy achievement. It would not only put an end to our recent downturn but also uplift the team's spirit. It's essential to remember that each match presents a fresh chance to improve. With a positive attitude, we have the power to alter our course. So, let's remain optimistic and anticipate the best outcome.

Facing Stockport will undoubtedly be a challenge, but I firmly believe that Notts has the potential to make a significant impact. Given our recent form, it’s crucial that we react positively and swiftly. We need to harness our strengths, learn from our past games, and put forth a robust performance. A draw, in this context, would be a commendable outcome. It would not only halt our recent slump but also boost the team’s morale. Remember, every game is a new opportunity, and with the right mindset, we can turn things around. Let’s keep our spirits high and hope for the best.

It's impressive to see how Notts County's administration is prioritising the development of its youth players. Treating each player uniquely and assigning tailor-made training catering to their individual strengths is a commendable approach. I hope to see more such players like James Sanderson making a mark.

Great prospect, it’s very exciting with the number of young players we seem to have close to the first team. They do need to play and gain experience at our level and within our team.

I’m not too worried if we don’t sign a defender, because people are missing the point about working with what we have and getting better. If the answer was always to replace players, then there’s no point in training or coaching. You won’t get the best out of people, you’ll just buy better and stand still.

What if Notts couldn’t lease the land? What if the council said, we need to sell the land where Meadow Lane is? I’m not sure how we’d manage without good owners. A few bad apples in football shouldn’t make everyone so worried about us losing the stadium. How many grounds like ours have been knocked down or sold to other sports teams because an owner wanted to profit? Most grounds eventually go back to their clubs. I think every club should own their ground and land.

I can’t see why PON can’t do well in a world with social media. The Facebook page is popular, and fans on Twitter support it now and then. I don’t use either much to talk about Notts. I came from Twitter, but I find PON more laid-back. You could get health issues with some of the oddballs on social media. The “always right” and “you can’t have your say brigade”.

Morias’ reflective nature and ability to scrutinize his performance constructively set him apart from many in the sport. His humility to admit areas that need improvement and his relentless pursuit for betterment reveal his professional drive and commitment. These are qualities anyone can learn from, inside and outside the sports realm.

This impending stellar clash against Shrewsbury undoubtedly underlines the determination, zeal and mettle of Notts County. The sense of community and fervour that this match has invoked is quite palpable. Good on Luke Williams for instilling this fighting spirit in the team! Let's keep our eyes on the prize, gents.

O'Brien's comments on the team's victory over Crawley Town underline the empathy, camaraderie and teamwork that are clearly present in Notts County. Personally, I love his perspective on the game. He highlighted the team's resilience, his role in the match and even the importance of the goals by McGoldrick and Morias. His humility and his ability to understand the overall gameplan of the team is truly commendable. His reflection on the team's ability to turn things around after a difficult first half showed a lot of maturity. On a lighter note, his comments about his goal show his genuine sense of humour. It is this blend of camaraderie, humility, resilience and a sense of fun that make following this team a joy.

I felt a connection with him because we share the same first name. He was an exceptional player for Notts. It’s always special for fans to see someone who shows their love for the club and wears the shirt with pride.

I can't help but appreciate the honesty Williams laid forth in his analysis. The vision he has for the team came to life in the first half, and it was fantastic to watch. However, the second half could definitely use more focus. We've got potential; it's all about maintaining that brilliance throughout the match. And I do think that it's not just about winning, but more about how the game is played, your strategy, your execution. I loved Williams focusing on the need for consistent performances.

What a story this is! A London kid dreaming of playing at Wembley, and not only achieving it once but twice within six months. This exemplifies what ambition and hard work could result in. Jodi Jones is an inspiration. It’s common knowledge the gravitas Wembley holds in English football culture; every child who kicks a ball aspires to grace its pitch one day. It speaks volumes about Jones's talent and dedication that he finds himself playing there twice in such a short span of time. We at Notts County are fortunate and proud to watch him develop from close quarters. His tale of overcoming adversity through support from family and friends after his significant injury exhibits tremendous resilience. Cheers to more success!

Welcome @Callumpie. It's good to see you joining in. See you around the site.

It's interesting how football dynamics can change dramatically within a short span. Oxford United's situation is a clear example of this. From witnessing Liam Manning's departure to Bristol City to now hoping for a favourable outcome under Craig Short, the team has been through a rush of events. Short, despite past criticisms, might bring about a positive change in the team's dynamics. His experienced insight into management could potentially aid in regrouping the team. While it's easy to criticise based on past decisions, this fresh start might just allow him to redeem his image.

In the early days of the internet, this would be begging to be edited and remixed. It’s just his delivery of ‘we were rubbish’. He says it with enough exasperation and fury to power a power station.

Tiernan Brooks isn’t quite prepared to be the regular first choice yet, but he could be in due course. Fans may criticise him for minor errors, which are normal for a goalkeeper his age. Just as people find fault with Sam Slocombe, who is perfectly adequate at this level. As for Aidan Stone, he appears to be a promising prospect but needs to maintain a clear and focused mindset on the game. I don’t overly criticise goalkeepers, simply because they have the toughest job on the field.

This is fantastic news. Hopefully, the Reedtz brothers can reverse our trend of losses over time, as previously discussed.

It’s a firm victory, regardless of how we played. Both squads put in maximum effort, and I’m pleased that we’re advancing. That’s the main point. We should accept victories as they come, and once we’ve dealt with the injuries and other challenges, we can concentrate on getting better. The further we progress in the FA Cup, the better!
