Welcome @Bertinez. ????????

It appears to be very appealing, indeed quite lovely.

There might be some truth to the Millwall rumours, although I’m uncertain if they’ve made an actual bid or merely shown interest. I don’t believe we should be concerned, but it could potentially lead to a flurry of bids. As long as Notts secures a favourable deal if anything does transpire, I’ll be content.

I’m not particularly keen on spending a substantial amount of money for a single match outside England. I prefer to stick to local friendly matches.

I believe he’ll be a key player in the squad. His quality in the English game might be a bit of a mystery, but you don’t compete in the tournaments he has without having a bit of skill. He’s clearly a steady influence in midfield, so hopefully, he’ll bring some creativity and forward-thinking to the team.

I’ll keep an eye out for the name Hayley Turner, it’s grand to see a Notts fan getting some recognition.

It wouldn’t shock me if we don’t need another defender, as Kyle Cameron might be heading out. I reckon another signing in midfield, on top of Curtis Edward, wouldn’t be out of place. The squad’s shaping up nicely, and I wouldn’t dismiss the idea of signing some young prospects to bolster our depth and cover potential injuries.

Curtis Edwards joining Notts County is exciting news. His history of playing in Europa League matches, including against Arsenal, should bring a lot of excitement to the fans. It’s great to see our board and recruitment team bringing in players with genuine pedigree. I’m really looking forward to seeing him in action at Meadow Lane. Welcome, Curtis!

Do you think it would be sensible to make another defensive signing? If Connell Rawlinson were to leave on loan or as a free transfer, it could potentially create some room. Personally, I wouldn’t oppose bringing in someone like Lewis Macari, who could be a promising addition for the future.

It’s inspiring to see how far he’s come, his journey through Crawley Town has been nothing short of spectacular. Aiding in promotion speaks volumes of his talent and determination. I’m thrilled he’s now with us and look forward to seeing how he contributes to our squad. His ability to perform in both offensive and defensive roles will be crucial.

Fantastic news indeed! Alex Bass’s outstanding season at Wimbledon is a testament to his skill between the posts. His arrival promises to bolster our defensive line significantly for the upcoming season. With his proven track record, Bass is set to be a tremendous asset for Notts County, and we can’t wait to see him in action. Here’s to a future filled with clean sheets and defensive prowess!

Brilliant news! Bass had an excellent season at Wimbledon. He’ll be a huge asset for us next season.

I find it encouraging to see thoughtful debates and open discussions here. I can understand why some supporters might want a change at this point, as it’s difficult to see how Stuart Maynard will turn things around, not that I’m against him. I’m just saying I can see their point of view. What I don’t understand is how some are unwilling to give him a chance and keep reminding people at every opportunity that they’re against Maynard and want a better option in charge. That seems wrong, as it’s like hoping for this to happen, and I can’t see how that would be helpful. Personally, I’m inclined to give him the rest of the season. If things are still looking grim then, it might be worth reconsidering, but with the defence strengthening and any budget being used to add quality and depth, he might learn from this. I don’t think the problem right now is just one thing, but a combination of factors.

@Piethagoram, sending positive vibes your way! Get well soon. It's communities like these that remind us how powerful compassion is. ????

Will the match be fast-paced? Many say that AFC Wimbledon likes to counter-attack and wouldn’t mind if we controlled the ball. This is quite different from Notts’ style. It might lead to a chaotic and fun game. Let’s increase our concentration, regain possession quickly, and create solid opportunities. Hopefully, Notts will emerge victorious.

Maynard's focusing on both our defensive structure and our attacking opportunities shows he's leaving no stone unturned. Reflecting on past encounters, understanding Wimbledon's play, and emphasising our strengths suggests Maynard has a comprehensive plan. Encouraging the team to be proactive in seeking goal chances while also ensuring defensive solidity resonates well with the unpredictable nature of League Two football. This blend of caution and aggression could very well be the key to overcoming Wimbledon's formidable defense.

Thank you, for all the welcomes. I think the content on the site is top notch and I look forward to contributing more.

The late postponement against Bradford was a setback, but Maynard’s approach to keeping the team focused and making the most out of a challenging situation is commendable. His belief in utilising the whole squad and keeping spirits high, especially with senior players stepping up, speaks volumes of the positive culture being built at Notts County.

I don’t think the referee made the correct decision. I believe if David McGoldrick felt he handled it, we would have seen a reaction from him and the Wrexham players.

Notts has high hopes that Jatta can make a difference. It might not be immediate, but he’s here and could be someone who might be more useful next season. Now he might need to settle in and get used to things.

We’re going to get a lot of rain this year, with not much sun. I hope this is wrong but I don’t see the weather getting much better.

The loan market should always focus on bringing in quality or something unique. I don’t think anyone could have predicted how successful some of the players we’ve had would become in their careers. We’re used to the ones who just disappear and their time ends up being forgotten, but sometimes you can use it as a way to test a player before buying. We had a defensive midfielder that was brought into the club from the non-league, I forget his name but he started off well.

There’s a nice piece about Notts in the Football League paper. It’s clear that the board sees Stuart Maynard as a great fit, which is reflected in this article. It’s a good read nonetheless.

There's cautious excitement in the air with the new management shake-up. While I hope for a win against Barrow, realistically, full transformation won’t happen overnight. Maynard's approach is likely focused on stability and graft, which means we might not see the flamboyant offensive play we're used to, but perhaps a more disciplined team that can grind out necessary results. Concentration during dead ball situations has been our Achilles' heel for too long, so I expect that will be a marked improvement this match. Let's bring the noise to Meadow Lane and push the lads to a hopeful 3 points against a stubborn Barrow side.

Absolutely, the extra preparation time is indeed a hidden gem. With a new coach like Stuart Maynard at the helm, this additional time can be invaluable. It allows for a more in-depth understanding and implementation of new tactics, which could very well give us the edge against Barrow. This could be the key to unlocking our full potential on the pitch. It’s an opportunity to refine our strategies, work on our strengths, and address any weaknesses. This is a chance for Notts County to rise to the occasion and show what we’re truly capable of. Onwards and upwards, Notts! Let’s seize this opportunity and make the most of it!
