i enjoyed the weekend even despite the notts result, i enjoyed the game but left frustrated because of wimbledon. notts players did mostly well but did not quite manage the ending all the well. far more positive than negative tho. sunday i did the usual and fetched my mums shopping, she prefers it hand picked and fresh. some might wonder why she does not get home delivery but shes very old school and would do this herself without transport if it was not for me. i quite like doing it to help her and on occasions to top up what i need. after fetching the shopping i had sunday dinner with my mum and aunt.

much of my thoughts have already been expressed, i get that results have not been good enough but i think it is easier to blame stuart maynard than understand that there are a lot of different elements to this situation. its not an excuse to say the injuries are still having impacts and the players do need to work harder not to concede. its not like there is no signs of positives, the reward of sticking with maynard might just pull the players together if they see that fans are behind him. otherwise i fear they will give up mentally and that is more difficult to snap out of.

i hope you dont mind me having posted this @Piethagoram but i am pleased people are expressing support and concern. its not so much about me missing your posts but making sure you know we care. i dont want my messages to annoy you but i am more than happy to apologise in case they have.

welcome to pon, @Colin Phillips. i hope you enjoy the site and jump into sharing thoughts in the discussions.

its personal and not really for me to do it, so i dont want to over step things but i do care and look out for people who are members on social media. sometimes we just need to know that people care. i know this when i had my accident at work.

community is something that makes a difference, you see it on facebook, twitter where pockets of fans look out for each other and its no different on pon. its very important, i know it is to some of the others i know here. we dont just discuss notts but we get to know each other through the comments and that might take some by surprise but i would always encourage a community that supports each other than one that turns against itself.

i am not sure if i should or not post this, but i think there will be other members who wont know that care just like me. after incidents the last few years, i know a group of us decided to try to be supportive and express community care because it is what was shown to us. take care and know we do @Piethagoram.

not to be negative but is 26 seconds all they can come up with? why not use their socials to get fans to submit questions and therefore they could make them more meaningful to watch. i felt disappointed to get such a short clip. it does not tell me much either. i just realised the youtube video is the full one, still quite short but much better.

pon is my main go to, its the only site i have a quick access link to. i do watch youtube but the double ads and constant things they have done in order to block ads, despite me not having anything on my browser that does that has made me consume much less videos. besides all the good creators seem to be leaving, there is a mass exit of them doing so or employing people to run their channels and its not the same. facebook i used quite a bit, messenger more so at least to keep tabs on people and i have made it a goal of mine to message mr ram above me. bbc sport, sky sports, some of the papers like the mirror who from time to time do good football articles. twitter seldomly, but i only do it mostly to engage with pon and members outside. i thought it gave me a good way to get to know some of them that i really enjoy better.

i hope after the 90s minute and final whistle that we can feel happy knowing notts gave a good account of themselves. if afc wimbledon play well and win, so be it but i just wish to see more positive signs from our games. we are long overdue a solid performance and i am hoping that will be tomorrow. just hearing the kop feeling happier and the players giving their best. coyp!

@Robbie cloudy and pretty dull again bring on the warmer weather!

i think stuart maynard needs the win more than most fans who want to see him succeed do, it would be great to see notts return to doing the business. whatever we cant control, notts must try to stir towards what we can. i am fully behind the club, players and i just hope we can get a good result against wimbledon.

oh this is hard but i managed to come up with a player i remember @Piethagoram mentioning. he was a very good player i felt, someone i wished we had seen more of during his loan and after he was released from his club, i wished he had signed for us. lloyd sam

we have a good history playing villa, we might not always win but they seem to be great games between two good teams despite any difference in the playing levels.

well done to sam austin for acknowledging the fans and trying to put across that the players are trying and appreciate the support, its a step back to the unity we had at the start of the season. just like his words though, tomorrow is all about getting the result we need and most fans will appreciate his comments but others will want it to be expressed on the field. austin is a very good player, he deserves my support.

seems a promising period for british tennis players, hope to see some progress further with their careers especially the younger players.

i thought on monday and tuesday that the sun might begin to shine, its gone back to being grim.

regarding sam austin i think he has done well when given a chance recently, i do like seeing him come on from off the bench in the second half as teams are tiring and expecting us to be more focused down the sides. he finds the pockets of space in the middle and although he works well going wide, he has the ability to bring it back in and then give it to someone like dan crowley.

you can see the pressure building when you see his face, the team have to turn the season around and give him time because its them who are letting us all down not stuart maynard. given the chance i firmly believe he can turn around and whilst i drove to bradford only for it to be called off very close to the game. i think the time could aid us better having spent it training. bradfords pitch seemed no better the other day when they played on it.

i thought this was worth sharing here, as i agree with everything mentioned in the post.

i think we need to make sure that jake reeves is marked out of the game, hes the player i felt pulled all their strings at their ground and he is one of those players who can make others around him go that extra bit further. i am nervous, i dont see where our next win will come and i still remain nervous for stuart maynard as it seems unlikely people will stop finding fault with him. it would be something to see us at our best, well prepared and looking brighter but with the season being competitive i do not see it. wimbledon fans must be feeling confident, i just hope we give ourselves some credit.

like everyone else i am growing tired of all the complaining by fans, its nice that we can talk about things here and put perspective behind our thoughts. it feels on social media that everyone is soaking in the doom and gloom, that is probably just me but it certainly gets people talking on those types of sites. is winning games now the only way we can lift the spirit amongst the notts camp? first time i have felt like some notts fans are picking at the brothers, club and players without much reason. the trew and hardy era where very bleak and filled with false dawns and promises. i have faith in the reedtz, i just hope things improve so that we can go again next season. as i feel even if we managed to reach promotion we would struggle. we are not ready for league one football and some fans would just expect us to be in another promotion fight. instead we most likely wouldn't be doing that well against much better teams as things stand.
