    I agree with others. Aidan just lacks confidence, just as other members of the team do. It will pass after a set of good results.

    A fantastic 12 months of success for our great club. The progress that we have made during this time is absolutely remarkable, but also well deserved, setting records on the way. Not only winning promotion, but in a position at the end of 2023 to challenge for back to back promotions. Roll on 2024.

    I believe the Champions league should be for one set of Clubs, Champions only of their national Premier leagues. When they increased the number of clubs that could qualify they devalued the competition & it became just a money making exercise, and it also finished up devaluing the Cup completions because the big clubs field their weaker teams now.

    Like with every Notts fan, I've gone through every emotion following this Club. This club has something special about it. The history, the successes tinged with the failures, the ups, & the downs, Witnessing milestones like 3k, 4k & 5k league matches Privileged to see 3 great Managers and witnessing us going from the Fourth to the First Division. And last but certainly not least, being part of this great and loyal fanbase that have played their part in the success of the club. Long may it continue.

    I believe in Luke Williams & I am convinced that he will get us out of the blip in form, & turn things around in the new year. To be still in sixth place and challenging for a play off spot halfway through the season. I'm sure many Notts fans would have settled for that at the beginning of the campaign.

    I believe this is a great signing for Notts. Lewis is an exciting young player that has loads of potential to grow, and I look forward to seeing his further progression in the black and white.

    Macaulay has written himself into Notts County folklore with his goals that got us back into the Football League. I just hope that he will stick around at Meadow Lane for a few years because he can certainly make more history for Notts & help us to climb that Football pyramid.

    Agree: Our attacking prowess has always been our strength and has been masking our failings in defence since the beginning of the season. That's why I'm confident that once we have sorted out our defensive shortcomings, we can push on after the new year. We really need a good start to the game on Boxing day.

    Merry Xmas.

    I used to go to the matches for a while with my elder cousin. He was a big Notts fan. It was through him that I became a Notts supporter.
  11. Robbie
    A Merry Christmas to you all.

    I have such great memories of our grand old stadium at Meadow Lane. I can remember when we played Everton in the FA Cup at home on a wet day in March 1984, standing on the Cop getting wet through. The ground was absolutely packed with 10K Everton fans. We lost to an Andy Gray header he headed in only a few inches off the ground. When I was a boy I would stand at the front of the Cop, behind the goal. When I grew taller, I would watch Notts standing on the County Road side or pop side. There was a large step at the back of the lower tier that you could get a good view from standing at the half way line if you got a place there. Spent many years standing. Never sat down until it became all seater. How many of you remember our old ground and where did you watch the games. Did you prefer to sit or stand?
  14. Robbie
    Definitely. And another important change that has crept into the game is the Head Coach not picking the players to bring in to his club. It's right that the Manager should consult others over recruitment, but the Manager should have the final say over who to recruit.
  15. Robbie
    Lovely Story. I'm so pleased to have found P of N Community.

    Notts Country is a founding member of the Football League and now has 5000 league matches behind them. What a fantastic achievement and what a legacy to have. I'm so immensely proud of my club.
  17. Robbie
    Cooper's sacking is just an example of the way Football is going since the Premier League was formed. A Manager has a bad run of 10 games or less & there's a clamour, pushed by the media, & pundits to replace him. On the other hand, in the lower leagues of the EFL, Managers are poached by higher league clubs to the detriment of those lower clubs. The rest are always playing catch up, & it's difficult enough to climb through the leagues, without losing a good Manager & then appoint a good replacement. Luke has done wonders for our club & I'm sure there are other clubs keeping their eye on his progress. It would be hard for Notts to replace him if he moved on.
  18. Robbie
    Thanks for the welcome.
  19. Robbie
    Agree. The officials in Rugby & Cricket seem to be clued up and work with their VAR system much better than the Football officials do. I thought that VAR was supposed to eliminate most of the mistakes by the Ref but it is clearly not doing that at all. VAR is actually causing even more controversy.
  20. Robbie
    Again, expert analysis by Mark. I agree that we are lacking inspiration on the pitch at this time. I believe that confidence leads to an inspired performance & confidence is clearly on the low side following a poor set of results. I do believe that we could do no wrong by signing a player with a presence on the pitch, who's prepared get stuck in, a bit of a hard man, tall, strong, & can lead & inspire others on the pitch, a Brian Kilcline type. I'd also sign an additional defender, defensive midfielder & additional attacker. I also believe our tactics should be a little different for away matches being a little more defensive & rely on the quick break more.We have shown that we can create & score goals playing in different ways. We will always be a threat to any side with our forward line. In the end it is Luke that has to get things right, and I'm confident he'll do that.
  21. Robbie
    Yes Piethagoram, I think the best team lost when we played Brescia in our first Anglo-Italian final at Wembley. McSwegan should have buried that chance in the 1st half, the handball by their player that should have been a pen & Charlie Palmer's effort that was blocked on their line in the dying seconds of the match from another long throw from Andy Legg. Then of course there was Steve Cherry's unfortunate mistake that led to their winning goal.
  22. Robbie
    I've reserected this thread because VAR is in the news again, and I'm asking what's the point of VAR? The whole system needs a total revamp, because in it's present state, it is not fit for purpose. The authorities should even consider suspending it. Every match that uses VAR there is controversy over a decision by the Referee or the VAR team. There is confusion over interpretation of the VAR rules. VAR is missing critical events in a game, then the authorities say VAR cannot rule on that incident VAR is becoming a total farce and changes need to be made. I believe VAR should be either allowed to rule on more incidents and the VAR officials given more powers, otherwise trim VAR down to goal line decisions and ruling over yellow and red cards only. World football really needs to address the VAR problem and the FA need to be leading on this too.
  23. Robbie
    Neil Is one of the great managers that this Country has produced and we were blessed to have him as our Manager between 1989 & 93. Leading us from the 3rd Division to the Ist in successive seasons was a tremendous feat, I remember it well. It was an exciting time for our club. And he's still passionate for our club too.
  24. Robbie
    The signs are that It looks like it's going to be a really good attendance for the vitally important Boxing day clash at home to Rovers. The drawing power of this team under Luke continues. Really hope this game will prove a turning point for us to get back on track after our recent poor form. .
  25. Robbie
    I will be pleased to be part of this. I am in.
