before the trews bought notts, i would make sure i had proof to show the reedtz just how much good they did and just how them buying notts at this point after munto collapsed could see them push on further with their data and restructuring. i honestly feel we would be a championship team if this was the case.

i dont like psg, they lost their soul when they got took over and became a franchise type of team. i really hope chelsea can win because it looks better for the premier league and it shows you dont have to be like psg.

hearts recently sold jorge grant to salford city. did you ever get to see grant play for them @theAnticlough? the last time i saw a picture of their ground, it looked a lot different. now it looks very nice and much longer. i do wonder if meadow lane is steeper and that makes it look different?

i think looking at the squad these are our options based on being here for some time, which is why i think matt palmer is the clubs choice. curtis edwards is quieter than matt palmer, and he has not been the same since he got injured. i know people say this about palmer but you can still see him being very important to the first team. whereas edwards looks at least to me a squad player who is capable of stepping up further when hes in form. obvious candidates matty platt, jacob bedeau, conor grant, jodi jones, alassana jatta, [matt palmer] provided we can keep him and get more from him, i think lewis macari could be a good call in the future, i would say the same about scott robertson but paring him as a starting 11 looks unlikely and i do think macari has the most potential.

so what does this actually mean? has the fa or whoever spoken about how they plan to move forward now?

welcome to pon, @Triton 61. its good to be saying hello to you and i hope you enjoy joining in with our discussions.

hello @theAnticlough, its great to see you fitting in and joining in with the notts talk. its nice to see! welcome from me too.

i had a feeling he would want to go to a league one team, but i am surprised a team like barnsley ended up being his destination. i thought he would choose a team a little more local and i think part of me was worried it might be mansfield since he has played for every other club in the east midlands.

yeah, it would be nice to see it being used as an extension to what is happening. some things might not be right as a conversation, such as more personal things and that is where the status feature could thrive. i did not know about it until tone shared about his running, or i had forgot about it. i have used it to check in with people too.

good to see the pictures and video of the players training, i hope its not as hot there as we have it because i would find it hard to train in the heat. its great to see the lads pushing themselves, and its nice that martin paterson sees that our fitness levels are important for the success he wants to bring. fc kaiserlautern sound like another great test.

most players his age by now are released by united, so he has something about him and being loaned out last season gives him plenty of experience. i dont read much into it when the club says they beat off bigger clubs, as i think its more about the player wanting to be a part of the right environment and i think we do offer a lot for a young player. hope he enjoys playing at meadow lane and in front of us notts fans. we will make him feel at home.

@Simon Clark, its okay, because jatta will snap their legs if they try it. 😂 no i would agree, it might be best to see how the game goes and bring him on from off the bench if its safe.

i hope he does not find himself without the chance to play, because we need to be ensuring those with fight starts games and with the amount of games it could be worth rotating at key teams so we reserve our better defenders for the big games and allow players like sonny to come in when we are playing teams were we can make a few changes without much concern. i think its a good signing, i hope he does well.

i like that he backs his players with their challenges, we are not a dirty team and although i have not seen the tackle itself. the way football is going you wont be able to tackle at all. i think aside from that being silly, martin paterson says all the right things the right things. i like that he wont back down or treat friendlies as games we cant win. i just wont get excited if we do, because i know they are about fitness more than anything.

trialists and not the full xi, i get what you are saying but without our strongest squad its hard to see anything negative. i know you are not, but my point is that we looked stronger with some of the changes. i hope it does give us more to think about, as it sounds like we should have been more alert in the first half. their second goal looks questionable for offside.

i think most fans want the squad to have players who come through the academy within their first team, i do wonder how many teams these days do this but without pushing and giving them a chance in the squad, its unlikely. its something i feel disappointed about because we just allow the potential to be wasted.

things change, but i dont really care as much now hes left. i dont think his message really helped to take the impact off notts and whilst i do question his comments arriving at notts for his second spell. i am pleased hes not going to be playing against us. a different player would be getting stick and i do not wish for that which is why i do not care.

brilliant poems @Michael D Pie.. 👏🏻👏🏻 @Chris ask fans to record parts and put it together like you once tried, i am sure people can record good enough audio on their smartphones now.

i think people are reading more into it because of this. part of me does wonder if notts did not want to take him jatta now, for whatever reason. i dont think its to sell him but maybe to keep him?

i am saddened to read this, kim is a well known figure. i used to see her often at home games and it was nice to see her in passing at away games last season. she is a larger than life person, who does a lot for the supporters club. i really hope she manages to do everything she wishes for, and i hope the treatment helps.

nice! slowly but surely we are getting ready for the new season.

he did very well with solihull moors, i think hes ready to make a step up to league two and i think he could do well for oldham. hes a player i would not have minded in the squad, but i am not worried or dwelling on the fact he signed for a different club. if news came out saying he was on our radar and we missed out on him, i might feel a bit disappointed.

one plus, is that the b team will benefit from having alassana jatta within the team but will it impact his pre-season? he should be fine, he misses the first few games anyway. i just find it funny that people are speculating hes on his way out just because of it.

i like conor grant, i think he looks like a good player and hes one of those who looks to be always thinking. i think if martin paterson can form a good relationship with him as our head coach, he could be one of the players who would benefit. i was not all that impressed myself with the number 9 in the alfreton game. he did some neat things, but he did make some bad passes. i dont think we should go too heavy in experience in the attacking midfield position. i would rather stick with grant and have someone else with pace coming in.

i hope we put on a good showing and it will be interesting to see which trialists make the trip, since notts has said some are going. a bit disappointed jatta could not make it, is the visa issue due to going to germany or is the visa he gets from playing for notts? if we win, i hope fans dont get carried away. we put a good showing on last time but fell short late on.
