Match Preview: Can McGoldrick Fire Notts County to Victory Against Bromley?
i think it will be a good enough game, i hope they play defensive as it will test our creativity and all we need is one chance if we play as good as we cand defensively. if they are physical or borderline dirty, i am sure notts will be able to focus on playing football. its going to be an interesting 90 minutes.

Stuart Maynard Prepares Notts County for Tough Bromley FC Clash
i hope the comments about protecting the players does not go against us, i can see referees allowing more go, i used to hate seeing jon stead fouled only for the referee to act like he pulled his own shirt. its not like any of our players are diving. i do like stuart maynards comments about the game though, it will be good to see the returning players back.

Jodi Jones Reflects on New Contract and Future Ambitions with Notts County
hes just quality, i love his response to signing the new deal. it shows how focused and committed to notts he is. the moment he signed for us, it has been nothing but exciting and its a real joy to watch him play for us. to see his contract extended gives me hope we can get back to league one and then who knows?

Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Ravens (A)
the thing about if bromley sit behind the ball, then we need to be smarter and draw them out. work rate, i am sure the players will put a shift in and i dont underestimate any team, but i think we have a good chance to continue our form. pressure will be on us to maintain it, but they wont want to lose and will need to play some of the best food against us to make the game more favourable for them.

World Suicide Prevention Day
i think its very important to be there for people, even if they are not friends. if they seem like good people and deserve to be supported, i will try to make a difference. i have never had an issue with depression but i can understand how it causes hard times for people. i am more switched towards being happy and seeing the brighter things, the only time i used to feel low was during school. i had no friends, nobody would talk to me and i did feel lonely. its why i will always try to be friendly towards people because i believe it makes a different. suicide is horrible, it leaves loved ones in limbo and can cause further depression.

Where are they now : Noor Husin
considering southends issues, this is great news. i liked noor husin but he needed to improve much quicker than he did for us. defensively was my main concern.
-
Where are they now : Greg Abbott
he was a bit of experience and someone the players could get behind, with derry being the more techinical minded. its a shame it did not work out for shaun derry but i did like greg abbott. i am glad hes still involved in football.

its brilliant news, i am delighted that notts has extended jodi jones stay with us. i think its excellent business for us, which should be a boost to the squad. jodi clearly loves playing here and he seems very happy being settled. he comes across as a player who enjoys that and enjoying his football. its massive news, no doubt jj is one of our very best players in recent years.

How Notts County’s New Signings Are Transforming the Squad for League Two Success
defensively notts are looking much stronger, i like seeing everyone try to get the ball back as if we must have it. there is an urgency to this which previous seasons we have not quite done. i mean, its been there to a degree but often we would be happy to sit back and not press, now we press first and usually win the ball back. it takes the pressure off and although it requires discipline it does save energy. i like how calm we pass it around now, we make teams have to use their energy.

Opposition View: Bromley FC Fan Steff Bale on Facing Notts County and Life in the EFL
steff bale has shared a great amount of information about bromley here, this is the best opposition view of the season for me. i like how london fans also choose to support a smaller club, i was not aware of that. i can imagine its cheaper and easier to get tickets, so fair play.

Jodi Jones Nominated for Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month
hes been in fine form and always gives his best, i think he was brilliant in the fleetwood game. without him, i think we would have dropped that point. he gave us that surge needed to make sure we rescued a point. we could have won it by the end of the match!

Notts County Stay Unbeaten as Stuart Maynard Reflects on Gritty Accrington Stanley Win
the players and stuart maynard have done very well so far, i am encouraged by the start but i am more pleased that it shows our owners were right to back maynard. he might acknowledge the support which backed him, but there was a lot of unneeded pressure and the signs right now show hes perfectly fine in the role of head coach. i am so pleased that the lads are now more his players and have the results to show for all the hard work involved.

Tottenham Hotspur Loanee George Abbott Reflects on His First Start for Notts County: "Unbelievable Experience"
its really nice having a young talent like him at the club, where his focus on purely on enjoying football. i think this makes a large difference when you coming in and playing your first senior games. i think george abbott is a very patient and hard working player who looks like he could be a very important signing for the club even if hes on loan.

Faces of PON 24-25: Accrington Stanley (H)
great pictures mate, i am sure plenty of fans appreciate these. ????

Notts Alumni: Paul Devlin
i have seen paul devlin interacting with fans on social media and he seems a very down to earth ex footballer, who has a mutual love for notts. i never knew he had a trial with liverpool, it shows that there was thought he would go on and i think tamworth probably helped to keep him focused in having a career in football. his ability to play in different areas seems to have been a plus too, great to read this!

Match Report: David McGoldrick at the Double as Magpies Secure Confident Home Win
notts played very well, against a team that knew that their fouls and challenges would make it more of a challenge. i dont think they looked like scoring, we just looked calm and i never once thought notts would concede to accrington. their player smuggly trying to take on bass when the offside went up and he knowingly still tried to play on. bass was determined just as much as our defenders to keep a clean sheet. we cant get carried away tho, accrington played well but are in poor form and we just need to take the positives.

Stuart Maynard Optimistic About Notts County’s Strength Ahead of Accrington Stanley Clash
i think its great to hear fans chanting about the team being maynard, the pressure last season was not needed and it just made things harder. hes doing well, which goes to show what the board and the reedtz see in him as the head coach. i think the squad is more his now, where some of the players dropped their heads after luke williams departed. i think its why we allowed the likes of john bostock to go. the players that have come in are maynards and its great to see his confidence coming out.

Match Discussion: Game 5 - The Owd Reds (H)
i thought notts played very well, i think for 90 minutes the performance was very good. considering accrington wanted to slow down the game and tried to play negative football as a means to combat just how well notts played in all areas of the pitch. midfield was just as superb as the defence, i honestly felt calm and like we would not concede today. the players showed their determination and fought hard for a win. the second was just notts on cruise control and wave after wave of chances. i cant fault that performance, they made me leave feeling a buzz and proud. pon match report

Alex Bass Prepares for the Challenge Ahead: Notts County Keeper Focused on Maintaining Form
he is very calm and commanding, it must give the defence confidence when they know the keeper will come to catch the ball or push it away. along with his general presence, i think how he sees keeping clean sheets is important because he spoke about that when he signed and with time i think we could start picking more up.
-
Match Discussion: Game 5 - The Owd Reds (H)
i think its less of an headache with regards to mcgoldrick and jatta, one or the other will start and then most likely whoever is the sub will come on around the 70th minute. despite didzys goals against swindon, i am mindful about him being overplayed. he scored two very good goals, but i think the fact that he might push to further make his presence known and that would benefit home from coming on in the second half.

Notts County to Honour Sven-Göran Eriksson with Minute's Applause
sven and his time as director of football at notts was a rollercoaster of the season but having him around, with all the managerial changes i do think helped keep the squad together and focused on the pitch.

Opposition View: Accrington Stanley Fan’s Perspective on Facing Notts County
accrington stanley has always been a team that impresses me, as they have given us tough games in the past and play well as a team. i think they will see a different side to notts this season and i think it should be a good game. i do think keeping a clean sheet would be nice, alex bass has looked good and only beaten so far by very good efforts.

Stuart Maynard: ‘Smash and Grab’ Win Shows Notts County’s Promotion Credentials
i know adam hassell described it as a smash and grab, but i thought we had the chances to win. it was not like we didnt. mcgoldrick showed his class but the difference between the two teams were the defending. notts did well in this area and really showed a robust approach to handling swindon town.

David McGoldrick: ‘It Wasn’t My Greatest Performance, But Two Goals and a Win Are What Matters'
i think it shows we cant always play him and expect his magic, hes started this season well and is taking the chances given. it was good to see him start and score twice, i think this is what he brings when we rotate.
