Football is about learning while you play, and sometimes this season it has looked like promotion might not happen. Then we go on a good run and it feels possible again. There are still lots of games to play, so there are plenty of points to win. Harrogate will not be the only team to show where we are weak. I think back to the matches against Gillingham and Barrow. Those games really showed us a lot and made us think.

Burton Albion 1-2 Blackpool Joker Luton Town 2-1 Rotherham United Accrington Stanley 0-0 Bristol Rovers Cambridge United 2-0 Barnet Grimsby Town 1-1 Chesterfield Braintree Town 2-1 Truro City Hartlepool United 2-0 Wealdstone Woking 3-1 Boston United

Stoke City 2-2 Coventry City Wrexham 1-1 Charlton Athletic Doncaster Rovers 0-2 Barnsley Exeter City 1-0 Wigan Athletic Bristol Rovers 0-0 Gillingham Harrogate Town 0-0 Oldham Athletic Morecambe 1-3 Sutton United Joker Truro City 2-1 Altrincham

I like the drama and excitement that is built from the FA Cup, a lot of good League Two teams who have gained promotion to League One in the past have enjoyed successful campaigns in it. I am yet to see Notts reach the 3rd round, so it would be nice if Martin Paterson can get the most out of this squad.

Birmingham City 2-0 Hull City Joker West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Preston North End Blackpool 0-0 Wycombe Wanderers Doncaster Rovers 1-1 Northampton Town Grimsby Town 4-1 Gillingham Newport County 0-1 Cheltenham Town Altrincham 0-0 Woking Brackley Town 2-1 Gateshead

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.
