Matthew Dennis has been playing really well. He’s done a great job since joining the team and I think he really deserves the award. It would be amazing if Mai Traore starts playing his best too. Then we’d have three strikers all scoring goals and causing problems for other teams.
I’m really happy for Dennis. Winning League Two Player of the Month is a big deal and he’s earned it.

I’m not really sure. I think it’s nice when the team stays the same because they get used to playing together. But sometimes making changes can help, like bringing in fresh legs and keeping the other team guessing. Our squad is strong and things are starting to go better now. We’re getting more confident and playing well.
It’ll be interesting to see how much better we’ve got since the beginning of the season. I think we’ve come a long way.

At the beginning of the season, things didn’t go very well. It looked like we were going to have a hard time and maybe not win much. But now it feels like we’ve got past that and we’re doing better.
The loan players seem alright. I think they’ve helped the team a lot. I do wish we had signed a few of them properly, though. Still, the players we’ve brought in seem different and could really help us this season. I’m glad with how the club is going. I know not everything will be perfect, but I try to look at the good stuff and not just the bad. That’s what being a fan is all about.

I think Jack Wilshere would’ve been amazing at Notts. He was such a good player and even if he got injured a lot, he still had loads of skill. Even if he was a bit fragile, he could still help in the big matches. Just let him rest when it’s not important and bring him out when we really need him.
He’d tear League Two apart with the way he plays. It would’ve been cool to see him in a Notts shirt, showing everyone what he can still do.

Hello, @Graham. Welcome to the community and PON. I am a recently new member and I love being a part of the site. I am quite young but treated with respect which makes it all the more enjoyable.

Hello, @danielpie1862. I am recently new to the site, but I hope you continue to join in and keep increasing your post count. Its good to read different fans thoughts.

I hope Martin Paterson starts talking more about how the team plays and what went well. That might help the players do even better. He should still say what needs fixing, but not in a mean way. Just be fair and clear. If he does that, he won’t need to say he’s being honest. We’ll be able to tell by how Notts play on the pitch.
It’s better when the football shows the truth, not just the words in interviews.

I made a new one and I’ve got a few more that I’m still working on. I’ll finish them soon. I’ve got ICT on Wednesday, so I’m hoping to get a few more done before then.
I was thinking about making some Notts-themed display pictures. I noticed some members don’t have one, and I’d like to help if they want one. I think it would be fun to make them look more football-themed.

@Fan of Big Tone, It’s totally fine. I can show my teacher that someone’s using a graphic I made when I have ICT next. I don’t mind if people use them or ask for one. That’s what I made them for really.
I just don’t want anyone taking them without saying where they got it from or giving credit.
Here you go. =)

Now’s a great time to keep Jatta and Dennis playing together. They work well as a team and could help us score more goals. The problem is, we don’t have many choices if one of them can’t play. Unless we put a young striker on the bench, there’s no backup.
-
I’ve been making some userbar ideas. I’ve done three so far, all in different colours. I’m planning to do some with players on them too. I think they’ll make people’s signatures look more fun and show a bit of who they support.
The only other thing is going back to school. I’m not really looking forward to that.
-
I think the message from the club was okay, but it didn’t really say much. It felt like they were trying to keep things open about Jatta and didn’t talk enough about the players we actually need. It sounds like Jatta wanted to leave, and maybe that’s why the club didn’t go ahead with the extension. That could be why they said he had a back problem, even if it wasn’t that serious.
I don’t think the club would have been that bothered unless someone was really trying to sign him. It feels like they only acted because something was going on behind the scenes. It also seems like the message was just to calm down the fans who’ve been causing trouble. It doesn’t really help the rest of us understand what’s going on.

If you see one you like, feel free to ask me to change it! I can make it match your favourite player or give it a new look. You’re welcome to use them on PON, but if you want to use them somewhere else, please ask me first. I’d like to know where they’re being used. I don’t own the logos, so I’m not saying they’re mine. But I did make the userbar designs, so please don’t copy or share them off PON without asking.
I’m happy to give permission, I just want to be told first.

Notts County Home & Away

-
He was really good when he first joined the team. He looked sharp and played well. But now the midfield is packed with loads of players, so it’s hard to see when he’ll get a chance to play. I don’t think he was quite the same last season after his injury. Being out for a while must’ve made it tough. He still tried his best, but I bet someone like him just wants to be on the pitch.
I hope he finds a new club soon where he can play more. He deserves a proper chance.
-
It’s kind of strange how loads of players who were missing have come back all of a sudden for the EFL Trophy match. Some of them, like Mai Traore and Will Jarvis, we haven’t even heard much about lately.
I know the club said Scott Robertson might be back, but it still feels odd how they’ve gone from being out to suddenly playing. Is it just me who thinks that’s a bit random?
I really hope they do well and show what they can do. We need everyone fit and ready so we can keep going strong.

Last year at school, my teacher gave me a task to make old-style internet graphics like signatures. I looked on Reddit and saw that forums like Pride of Nottingham had cool userbars in people’s signatures. They look a bit retro, but I think they’re really cool.
I saw one made by @CliftonMagpie and it has a modern twist. It looks smart and I really like the style.
If anyone wants one, I’d be happy to make it for them. Just let me know.
I’ve already made one with a Notts County theme, but I can customise them to anything you like. I’ll share it if people are interested.
I can do the logo, the writing and the design idea. I’ve seen some examples on Reddit and I’ll make mine the same size as Clifton’s, 500 by 35 pixels.
