pleased to see adam chicksen listed as a notts player here on pon, unlike the club itself. clearly hes on the way out, and its such a shame because he could fit our system quite well if stuart maynard could get the best out of him. i do agree he has flashes of brilliance and struggles, i think its confidence but i dont think we owe him anything. i also would not expect woking to sign him permanently knowing he has the injury. its unfortunate for chicksen, but i do wish him well and until his contract expires he is a notts player.

he was not the worst manager, i do not get the hate towards neal ardley he stuck with notts during a point where nobody was being paid and he was a good person for helping place notts back on track. ian burchnall gets too much credit for the change in philosophy and recruitment which happened above his position. he did well to coach the team, but he was far from perfect. people said ardley would setup in hope for a draw, burchnall was worse because he would remove any hope of getting a point by bringing defenders at the cost of forwards and to do anything you needed changes at the other end. i do dislike the way he left, and his interviews because i thought he was quite dull and boring. as for saying fond things about his time here, its nice but we have moved on. he needs to let it be, as any credit of where notts are now from his time is very limited.

hello, @DizzyBala. welcome to pon. i hope to see you joining in and having fun here. pleased you are a part of our community.

rest in peace, pope francis.

hello, @JDaykin. welcome to pon. thanks for taking the time to join us, i hope to see your thoughts on notts.

its been a long season, but it does feel like it has flown by at the same time. i think reaching the playoffs should be classed as success, even tho we spent a lot of time in the autos. we shown that injuries could be managed, poor form was only temporary and the squad never gave up. now we have to be optimistic and get behind notts, as if we can create the right atmosphere it could give us more going into those last games. wembley bound i hope!

they put a video out showing the worst decisions of the referee ahead of the game, how can a club get away with being this unprofessional? a manager or player cant bring the game into dispute but a club the size of real madrid can. its mad!!

david mcgoldrick i thought performed the best in both halfs, conor grant was brilliant in the second but i think it was really between didzy and george abbott.

i voted and i am surprised to learn i am the only one who did for that player. 😛

several cup finals here on for notts, i do like how we have not given up on automatics. i think the pressure of feeling like we were slipping led to some of the issues where we just did not get the results we thought or should have got. i have the feeling we wont know until the very last game where we will end up, if its autos or playoffs. i cant think of anything more notts than that. colchester, bradford and doncaster are the remaining games i see as being a challenge. salford, cheltenham, harrogate are games i feel quietly confident about. yet knowing notts we might be a bit hit and miss, still clinging near to the autos until the final game.

welcome to the pride of nottingham, @NcfcWak. just as a pointer, i have linked you to two important forums. one where all the general notts talk gets posted and the other for match discussions and man of the match votes. https://prideofnottingham.co.uk/community/forum/9-jimmy-sirrel-stand/ https://prideofnottingham.co.uk/community/forum/10-match-talk/

i think they are thinking ahead because they hope we can maintain the form to get promoted. the appointment sense to give him the chance to get familiar before the next window causes a rush in terms of talking to players. really the club could appoint anyone and i think the majority would do the role well because they will be following a solid blue print given to us by the reedtz. welcome to meadow lane, roberto gagliardi.

it was a great team performance and mk dons had no answers to our attacking play, it was very good to see our replacements for dan crowley and aaron nemane showing how much stronger the club are without them. money well spent in my eyes, and will jarvis was outstanding.

well done to charlie whitaker, time to extend his deal. 👍

esc is the escape button to me, so i hope hes good. 🤣 question is, how does @Piethagoram feel? i think sam slocombe might be retiring or at the very least moving on next season. i personally think hes good enough for the backup, but this would be the long term solution and could mean no need to focus on keepers in the summer.

the opening goal from the free kick from reece james was class, i did not know he was capable of taking them or placing them so well into an area no keeper would be able to save. it was the perfect opening goal, and i think the performance was quite good. a couple of moments such as the near miss when jordan pickford called for the ball but the defender continued and it led to latvia shooting wide but acceptable.

it really depends on how we start and how the opposition does themselves, but it is a must win game. i think notts has to be careful and its important to avoid playing like we did against salford. teams you feel notts should do better against often sees us struggle. i can see the game being similar to the morecambe game where its largely uneventful and even at the end of the game. i would hope its not a draw but i can see it, newport are never a simple team at their ground.

he is a game changing player who could help lift scunthorpe back to the efl, when hes in form hes just on a different level and was always a joy to watch when he played for us. hopefully his injuries are lessening and he is managing to find this consistency through staying injury free.

maybe they should have waited for him to get the axe? unless shrewsbury were desperate to avoid paying compo and let him go without a fee. 😅

people also try to make out that they dont have enough money and want to sell the club, when it seems the billionaire who joined them in the ownership of wrexham is just future proofing their ambitions of reaching the premier league.

when did the site start working again? it had been on the nottinghamshire football site instead. i dont know the fan who created it but its well researched. its good to see it back.

i always liked mark fotheringham, with better players who had pace around him he would have been apricated a lot more at notts i think. his skill and technique was very good for a player and although surprised he later joined fulham i can see why they would opt for a player like him.

i dont think a lot of the stick sam slocombe gets is fair, i can understand why people might think hes past his best or prone to mistakes but much of this is caused by us not playing to his strengths. expecting him to be comfortable to pass the ball with his feet, when this has never been a strong point is just a flaw in the tactics and i have been much happier to see that slocombe does not have to play it out like this. the mistake he made in the last game came from him being passed the ball, blame should be on both him and the defender, i think it was lewis macari and even though slocombe had time with a wandering striker its not the best idea when limited options are on. as backup and to fill in, hes completely fine. he should be encouraged not constantly dismissed or called out for his lack of ability because hes has been a good servant and some fans just dont like him for whatever reason but it does become a player easily blamed.

i spent today picking up my mums shopping, i stayed for sunday dinner and then took mum to go see my aunt. i drove then to go see my dad, we went out for a drink. i did not have anything strong, just pepsi but it was nice to see him out. i have next week fully off, so i will need to find things to do in order to keep busy.
