in the clip of the fans, that is @Chris at the bottom right side. i like reading your thoughts on what fans and is posted on social media, i agree with what you say. its good to see more fans warming to stuart maynard. at times it has seemed personal, ever since the bbc did the piece about him giving up his bt technician job. some of those comments seemed unfair and it did take me away last season from wanting to discuss notts. i think the signs are there, we just need to have faith.

i am pleased for stuart maynard because you can see the improvements made so far this season and with our strongest 11, we look so much better on the ball and in defending. i know there were groans and concerns after Shrewsbury but even that had positives to take away from the game. doing well against a league one team is positive especially fielding what would be considered not our strongest squad going 2-0 up. the game against grimsby, the squad worked so hard for each other, it was very pleasing.

i have read stories that mentioned inappropriate texts, which could be anything but my first thought were along the lines of alan hardy. i hope its not the case. i dont know why you would bully or be mean to someone via text. it seems more likely serious than that.

shows you cant take things like this all that serious when they cant be transparent themselves, it looks like the account might have deleted the post or account. thats not good if so.

this is great, the notts foundation does a lot to help people. its one of the best parts of the clubs community schemes.

i did not rate him, i thought tobi adebayo rowing was going to be exactly the same but i thought he improved after his first season. both could not defend, struggled with heading the ball and passing. strange how we looked for players with height that had limited ability on the ball.

he can focus on his acting now. ????

hello, welcome to the pon site and community @Andystarscream.

it was a very good performance by curtis edwards, he seemed to be all over the place when we needed him and for all the running he did. you would not believe he was 30, its great to have someone with his passing ability and work rate in the team. he fits in so well and just offers something different. very clever on the ball!

great pictures, @Chris. its great to see your photos and the faces of pon.

i think the subscriptions and donations are very worth while causes, i have several prints and i keep telling myself i should get a few more for my home. i think is is a great idea! i do need to support the sites upkeep. ????

i thought notts made the game look very routine, from the moment the game kicked off you could see how the training had impacted how we played. such good quick football at times, where we would be patient when needed. i know we can only beat what is put in front of us but how poor were grimsby defensively? @Chris was spot on about their keeper. grimsby did look good going forward but not enough to make it look like there was anything more than just chances. i am not disappointed we conceded, not when we play like that and i did not see much wrong with our goals. i might be wrong, but grimsby fans calling the referee, i dont think he made any difference to the game. i dont know why our fans are praising them for the noise they made, they was silent for most of the game. it was a good amount for a thursday night and i respect that, but they could have been more involved. just like the grimsby town defence i suppose. as for the notts players, i dont want to single out any individuals because it was a great team performance.

most enjoyable 90 minutes watching notts i have seen, i dont remember the last time we played with such control and authority over a team. grimsby looked okay when attacking, defensively a shambles and their keeper looked awful. so pleased that we earned our first 3 points of the season, i hope more good performances are to come. its good to see stuart maynard enjoying a solid win too.

i thought this was new for a minute. ???? i was asking myself why we needed another defender. im not that bothered that we missed out or did not sign him, i am happy with the defenders notts have brought in and think with time they will settle.

surely they could just have a place to report and ban these numbers from calling? its partly why i only answer the phone to numbers that are not withheld. its annoying how nobody seems to be trying to cut these types of scams out.

its key that we dont over play him or use him in a way where he tires, because he cant do it alone but can be such a big part of our squad. not just because of experience but the way he reads games, how he gets people playing around him and whilst i have commented on his performances last season which i thought he lacked consistency. this so far he has done very well with the minutes given to him. 600 games is not something to be taken lightly.

i am looking forward to the game, it will be a nice early game under the flood lights and a chance to see the pitch under them. i do think we need the points but i am not worried provided we dont lose. i mean it would not be the worst thing but right now we could do with a boost. a win would do that, it would give the squad confidence and more importantly encourage stuart maynard.

i do think david mcgoldrick role is more as a rotational player and helping to see out or making an impact off the bench. i think at his stage in his career, he is doing well and has started much better than he ended last years campaign. we need him at his best and i think overplaying him is not the solution, so i am happy to see that he will wait to influence the games. his experience is useful but it should guarantee him a start even if he earns the most.

the fans had been displeased with his role as the manager, the way the team crumbled to stockport county must have been the last straw. there is a vlog on youtube that shows how the games effect dwindled the crowd from really positive to virtually empty.

its great to have someone like jodi jones in our team and he does deserve this, i think its incredible that he has come back so strongly from his injuries. hes a player our younger fans can look upto, and with players like him at the club it will also attract supporters. i am glad he won the award.

i dont think it has anything to do with forest as to why notts are establishing connections with local companies, its something the club used to do and i think joe palmer sees the sense in making the connection because the eyes that notts has on it since winning promotion from the national league. i think much of the surge in our fan base comes down to the way our owners invision the club. the fan zone has been a brilliant idea, which is helped by the travelling fans who come to watch their team take on forest. i do also think that fans wanting to watch local football might see the club as being an alternative to forest. so there are some benefits. its a good article, but it gives forest a bit to much credit in my eyes. rather than notts itself.

@KB1862 my comment is aimed at sky who are over sensualising the save, its not mind blowing.

you have to be stupid not to slow down when running that fast, sliding in like that. dion did rash challenges whilst he was here, fouls that looked silly afterwards. i dont believe he did mean to break or injure the gateshead player but he did make a silly decision to fly in. i think if he meant to do it or not is irrelevant, the fact he ran at such pace where you have little control and a lot of momentum is very reckless behaviour.

i am pleased to see two fans answering, it gives a bit of contrast between what grimsby fans are thinking. its a very good opposition view for that reason. i think both fans come across well, but i think we will keep jodi jones.
