he does sound like a good fit for what we need, he will be around good players and i am sure that will see curtis edwards at his best. i have seen no end of positive comments for his ability on twitter from woking fans and people who have seen him play. i am glad hes here.

so, pleased that hes near a return and that his recovery has gone well. also congratulations to him and his partner on getting engaged, doing that in new york city will have been a special memory. i cant wait to see him back on the pitch but only when hes 100%. hes one of the most consistent players we have had for years!

i am not only excited about the season ahead for us, but everything that is happening on pon. we have a great community, with many regular posters and general members who make it such a fun site to be a part of. @Chris its great to have you back, your passion and love for the club is shinning. i am looking forward to reading more fan written articles, those always are of quality. @TheSkipper, @Simon Clark are excellent writers. not just then but everyone who has contributed to date.

this is a nice surprise for a signing, someone vastly different but also experienced and that will make the opposition teams we face unsure about curtis edwards. plus he may bring in a different approach or style to his game, which will be a blessing because usually we have players who are very similar. i am delighted with this arrival.

cedwyn scott and jodi jones should be able to help rod mcdonald settle at notts, he sounds like hes ready to get going and i think its a very good signing. the height in the defence now, should be we are better at dealing with set pieces and the aerial threats.

good player, decent turn of skill and pace. i prefer him as a striker than midfield but he has done well since leaving us.

last time i messaged him, he mentioned that he wanted to visit his family in the uk and visit other places. he might be making the most of his retirement and health issues by taking this chance whilst he can. at least i hope so.

he looks handy and tall, which should help with the aerial threats. i am pleased to see we have brought in some experience at the back because it should help the defence out.

honestly, we are very lucky right now. we have great owners, the club is ran well with passionate staff and we have one of the best groundstaffs in the football league. they have done an amazing job, they do every season but this is just extra special.

the more you read and watch about him, the more it makes you appreciate his ability and how it seems to be the perfect fit for us. we just have to get the best out of players and with the squad we are building, i hope we can give him the game time needed to shine. i am sure he will, but its much like how we need to give adam chicksen the chance to repeat his promotion season form with us.

so pleased with how we are adding defensive strength with the addition of a competitive wing back. this is another excellent addition to the squad, notts are building the excitement very nicely.

i am confident that we have signed a quality keeper, he speaks very well and his previous experience is impressive. its going to be exciting watching the team play, as if we are solid at the back that must give encouragement and some freedom to the players who are attacking.

i am very happy with this signing, he seems very promising and should do well for us i feel.

to fall ill and die at the age of 26, its horrible news. i hope his family find peace.

i noticed tweets by alan shearer and ian wright, its a very sad day. rest in peace kevin campbell.

hello, welcome to pon @Izzie Dyer.

welcome to pon @Scotty.

it should be great for business, not just notts and forest but for other potential events. there are a lot of sporting events where fans will sit in a nice area and drink, so the importance is there to making somewhere people will want to gather. unfortunately for me i prefer quieter players and would find it to much, i dont like the changes made to the navi personally due to this reason and if i go for a pre match drink i will only consider the embankment.

oh i know, the results were to be expected but the sacking for me was not. my comment was more about the people in charge of the clubs hiring and firing.

sacked by nk slaven belupo for only winning 1 game in 7, their owners did not stand by their decision much did they? good luck to him with this move.

i hope we can pick up from the mk dons performance, away from home we have generally been better i feel. we have given good accounts of ourselves but the issue is the silly mistakes and decisions which lead to gifting goals away. i dont rate luca ashby-hammond, but would get behind whoever ends up in goal. i think he does suit the ball at his feet, but his commanding, distribution and positioning are not strong points for me. also i think jatta should start ahead of mcgoldrick, i think he offers much more and we may benefit from having some experience come on later in the game as a way to manage things.

it horrible to see how his illness is taking its toll on him, he does not look well and his face is unfortunately showing signs of how unwell he is. its very saddening but this was a real nice thing to see. i wish sven many more happy days and hope he continues to make what time he has matter. its a reminder that we all need to make the most of our lives. i am very humbled by how brave he is.

luca ashley hamnond is not the answer, he is not ready and generally shows poor positioning. yes, he is better with his feet but even his distribution leaves questions. there have been several games where he has shown his inexperience by just kicking the ball out when having a paddy that he does not know where to kick the ball. if nobody comes forward for it, boot the ball up field and not for the closest throw in possible. sam slocombe has been generally good since coming back, but the ball to his feet is not something that suites him well and we should avoid trying this if he is selected. its all about right the timing. if we want to lose the experience he brings and go for better feet, aidan stone is just fine but he lacks the confidence to seeout clean sheets. besdies, i think we are better choosing a keeper and sticking with them, much like the defence. the main thing is making the most of having the ball, we cant just sit on high percentages and knock it around at the back. at some stage the defence must realise they are better working the ball into an area where someone can continue to take it further and the midfield needs to run with that. if we lose the ball, just try to regain it asap or block it. provided we learn to defend our own net better, the more likely we will be to get some good results. it wont happen like a miracle at this stage tho.

its all confidence at this stage and the fact the season is one we must grind out, i see errors and issues happening. i still dont blame stuart maynard, the players cant help themselves and until we have the time to really strengthen and sort out some of the obvious gaps then things are what they are. its really disappointing to see some fans, a very small minority seem to take joy at away games that we are so poor. maybe its their way of coping but its just hostile and very atmosphere ruining to hear silly comments throughout a game. I enjoyed the game itself more than hearing them. the goals we gave away were extremely poor, i dont think we should be too harsh on scott robertson because hes still young and has largely done well. if we were winning people would be overlooking some of these mistakes and the majority i think would be less critical, its a real shame how this season has ended up but sometimes it happens when you realise you are not good enough for the higher end. the fact some people still believe we should be we are good enough for promotion to league one, but say we are rubbish makes me want to pull my hair out. we are not ready, there is a chance we could have been but not since luke williams left and even then we seemed to coasting out of the frame of it.

i think this season would end up better remembered if we could beat the team that sent us down, we were doomed them i know but the way some of their fans took joy in seeing us relegated and the way their players did similar makes me hopeful that we can go get all the points. if our players can do that, i think its one thing positive about the ending of this campaign. if we can finish as strongly as possible, it gives us a good chance to pick up in the next campaign. swindon dont have much to play for themselves, so hope our players see how important the win could be for those who watched the club fall to the lowest point in the clubs history. i doubt they will end up seeing eggs on their faces this season, they should be good enough to stay up and i wouldn't wish them relegation either. i just hope to win them, so we can nudge ourselves back up the table a bit more. its the difference between a respectable league finish and being average.
