Welcome to PON, @KatrinaPIE. We’re delighted to have you join Pride of Nottingham. This is a place where tradition meets community spirit, and where every supporter will feel welcome.

Yeah, it does seem like that, but I still think there are some good free agents out there. Maybe the club hasn’t spotted them yet. Some of the players are really decent and could actually join. I really hope the club sees that we need another keeper who’s played a lot before. Yeah, I get what you mean. After Matty Platt got hurt, Martin Paterson did say a few times that he wanted to find someone to help in defence. I think Theo Vassell could be a good choice for that. We should try to make the defence stronger, and also get someone good up front. I’m not sure all the players on the list would want to come, but it’s where I hope Notts could try a bit harder. It would be nice to see the club be a bit more brave with who they go after. This is what I was thinking. There were some good players Notts could have looked at before they called off the Swindon Town game. Some of them might not need loads of time to settle in. I think looking at free transfers could really help us. Jamal Blackman is a really good goalkeeper. But he might only want to join if he gets to play in the first team.

@McPie, I think Max Woltman, Theo Vassell and Jamal Blackman would be great players for Notts to sign. They seem like the kind of players we could actually get, so it makes sense. I really hope Richard Montague checks out the free agent list. But when I read stuff from the fans forum, it didn’t sound like the club was too sure about it. It felt like the board didn’t think there were good enough players out there. They also didn’t seem to believe we’d get a third goalkeeper, which is a bit worrying.

I’m interested in how Notts plans to go about this and how it will be done properly. If there are items in private collections, the club should try to buy them if possible. But what’s to stop them being sold again later if money becomes tight? It sounds good in theory, but it needs careful thought.

I’m happy to wait because I believe earning promotion to League One the right way is better than going up by luck or being unprepared through the play-offs. There will be good and bad moments, and it’s fine to talk about concerns. That’s why sites like PON matter. They help fans see things more clearly, which often gets lost on social media.

Notts are in good form right now, so why stop that? The players away on international duty can be covered for one match, which gives others a chance to step in and prove themselves. I know Jacob Bedeau is a key part of the back three, but Sonny Aljofree or Lucas Ness could fill in. As for Jodi, bring Will Jarvis back into the side. Why is he missing from League games so often? I think Notts should keep playing and build on the momentum.

Fraudsters will always be linked to the clubs they’ve been involved with, like Russell King and Notts. It’s something most people would rather forget. I hope he’s caught and given a proper sentence, not a soft one.

Hello, @Michelle Robson. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. I hope you join in posting and sharing your support for the club.

Hello, welcome to PON @NottaCounty2001. Hope to see you post and joining in.

I looked at some footballers who don’t have a club right now. They played last season in the Premier League down to League Two. Some might be too expensive or not realistic, but if the club could pay their wages, even just until the end of the season, I think it could help. I’m not sure if any are injured, but if they’re fit and ready to play, they could make the team stronger. Jamal Blackman has always been good in goal. I liked him when he was on loan from Chelsea. He’s 31 now and has lots of experience. I think he’d be a solid goalkeeper for us and would help out with the Kelle Roos situation. Theo Vassell is another player I think would be useful. He’s played in the lower leagues and is quite steady. He can play in all three centre-back spots, so he’d be handy to have in the squad. If we need more wing-back cover, Anthony Forde could be a good choice. He’s been sold for decent money before and has played well. If we use him the right way, he could do a good job. Some people say Notts need more attacking midfielders. Jonathan Lewis used to play for Barnsley and could be a good pick. He can play up front but is better on the wing. Nathan Redmond is also really good going forward. He’s 31 and last played for Burnley. It might be a bit of a stretch, but if we could get him, even for a short time, he’d be amazing. Max Woltman is a young striker who came from Liverpool’s academy. He went to Oxford United but didn’t really settle. He played for Doncaster Rovers on loan in 2023. I think he’d be a good signing to help him grow and improve. Victor Moses or Emmanuel Dennis would be dream signings. They’ve both played in the Premier League and still have some football left in them. They could become fan favourites like Shola Ameobi did. Wages might be a problem, but they’ve made good money already. Maybe the club’s goals and the chance to get promoted to League One could tempt them. If we want someone like Dan Crowley but with Ruben Rodrigues’ style, I’d love to see Lucas Andersen join. He’s Danish and very creative. He’s 31 and works really hard. He played for QPR before they let him go, and he’s also been at Aalborg BK in Denmark. He’s got a good background with teams like Grasshoppers, Ajax and Willem II. We probably won’t sign any of these free agents, but it’s fun to think about. If I was part of the team picking players, I’d want to talk to some of the ones I mentioned.

I’ll take it, it’s just a bit of fun really. I didn’t think I’d be near the top, but now I am, I want to try my best and finish as high as I can. Other people have picked up some good points too, so the table looks exciting. Anyone could move up if they get a good round of predictions.

Jacob Bedeau has a lot more to offer. By his usual standard, this was a quiet game. He needs to be stronger at the back, choose his space and stick to it. He should have been more alert for Crewe’s first goal. He didn’t play badly, but he wasn’t at his best either. Outstanding is quite a tinted glasses take on his performance.
