yes, i have set some goals for myself and i usually keep them to myself. i want to travel a bit more. italy, australia and turkey are three places i aim to visit in 2024. italy could be a weekender, with the other two making a week holiday each. get more involved in my community. join a gym and stick with it.

i dont think aidan stone is the worst keeper we could have at the club but he does sink when he concedes and we rely far too much on him. our defence, including defending from the midfield needs to be better. i think we need to be mindful that at this level keepers will make mistakes, however frustrating it can be. we play with attacking at the fore front of out tactics at the cost of protecting the keeper. i believe stone can improve and be a useful option, i like sam slocombe but feel he is weaker with playing the ball out from the back. otherwise he should be the main keeper, with stone as his understudy. i fear some will be throwing tiernan brooks into danger, as if he is not ready or ends up making mistakes it could be a repeat of fabian spiess. i am all for giving brooks a try out or a few games as a run our to see, but i would avoid pinning to much pressure on him.

i think its something which will go along way to reminding some fans just how far we have gone. there is no doubt at home we are more confidence but away leaves improvements. the reedtz have outlined the reasons why we are to be thankful and i for one am very grateful for their involvement in restoring pride to notts.

i did not celebrate the new year in, because i was already in bed ready for work the following day. its been hell over christmas, we are so rushed off our feet and it has not helped that our parent company has enforced staff layoffs so it means those wanting to keep their job are having to take on overtime. something like 25-30 are being let go.

i dont think i can rate the players any better than @Super_Danny_Allsopp, or differently i should write. i think stone could be more capable with protection, but we will always invite chances whilst we defend as we did. those balls which we struggle to focus or defend, are just so inviting for teams to get hold off. richard brindley seems to be a good option, but only when he's not always starting. hes too inconstant as a cb.

i know, it might come across as i am expecting it but i want to say i am more hopeful that we can secure back to back wins. it would go along way to u turning the poor form we found, whilst giving everyone something less to worry about. i think morecambe will want to make a game of it but i have the faith that if we perform well enough a good result will come. try to avoid changes where possible, yes some of the players may be tired from the boxing day game but i think we have more than enough within the squad to rely less on what we have on the bench. consistency right now could be the thing to bring better form within the new year.

i thought all our goals came from good play out wide, which is pleasing. i do think we need to be careful about over playing this style, but the win was such a good result for us. defensively, we will need time but we kept a clean sheet and won 3-0. we need to take that!

i dont have to worry about paying my next m.o.t because its covered now. ????

it does not get much better the 2nd or 3rd time, but rewatching the goals makes me happier knowing that notts got a well earned win.

but that 20% of the ball they had, they used it well. ???????? i have no idea what he witnessed but he will be thinking about his job, one which i am surprised he still has.

its nice to see a german with a sense of humour about the war and other things, which british comedians might be nervous to cover what with the cancel culture. merry christmas everyone, hope you are good @Piethagoram

i have only known meadow to be how it is now, i have seen pictures of how it used to be and it looked very difficult. its hard to imagine so many fans packed into the stands at least in comparison to how much bigger the ground looks to be today. i do have nice memories of the current ground though, i do think we are lucky that derek pavis reinvested into the ground and did such a good job modernising it, it could have very easily become soulless after it, but thankfully i think we have one if not the best lower league grounds.

merry christmas everyone, enjoy the time with your loved ones.

well it is different but i know who would win if i had to choose. heres my nominations.... newpie @Sir Magpie @Callumpie and @Robbie__64. member @Ohh Tommy Johnson @menzinho @ARLukomski. team @TheSkipper @CliftonMagpie @Burnz3r0 and @Chris

absolutely, i remember seeing videos of random people just giving those in videos labelled Karen's hugs. It seemed effective, because clearly something related. i know some people just like to bark, but nothing beats genuine human kindness.

very big move for him, i liked him as a player and thought he did well for us. only issue is the way he was used. he should have been played outright as a striker. good luck to him.

i have seen a few rugby games with my dad on the tv, when england are playing and their whole setup is so simply executed that it barely impacts the game. the application of it in football is a farce, if something needs checking - do it. a lot of the issue for me is the incompetence of officials and the people operating it. im glad it has not expanded into the efl because many of the changes made this season force the games to drag on when its supposed to enable the game to flow. var could be a useful system to assist human error but its current application is not practical.

before my time too. ???? i have watched videos on youtube and i remember the notts county film that the old media team put out that mentioned it. i do like reading about peoples experiences and memories of games tho, as it tells you so much more about the clubs history. i would welcome it back.

Hull City 2-1 Sunderland Watford 1-0 Bristol City Exeter City 1-2 Wycombe Wanderers Fleetwood Town 1-1 Carlisle United Barrow 0-2 Stockport County joker Bradford City 1-1 Morecambe Altrincham 0-0 Halifax Town Southend United 2-1 Barnet

far better performance and something to be happy with, stockport are a good team and we played a decent game. its a shame we could not get anything from the game. i felt a bit frustrated by the way we gave the second goal, not so much cameron but tobi losing the ball rather clumsy.

we are playing better, a bit more thought needs to go into our decisions on goal but its good to see macaulay langstaff more involved with the ball. it gives him so much more to do. despite the better performance, the goal we allowed to go in was a major switching off moment and its disappointing. i am pleased with how we have responded since though.

this signing was a masterstroke and he very much fired us to the football league, with such a talented squad behind him but without his goals some of the games may have been different. i was not sure we would be able to replace kyle wootton, i felt very disappointed he left but macaulay langstaff and cedwyn scott have been such a breath of fresh air. i do hope to see them partner each other on the field a lot more once cedwyn is injury free.

having seen macaualay langstaffs interview i feel a bit more encouraged, he works so effortlessly and does not give up. we need to get back to playing in a way that turns the opposition defence inside out. i would love to see us perform well, slowing the passes down just enough to give us the edge. if the players work as hard as langstaff there is no reason why we cant. some stockport fans feel anxious about playing us, so it should be a great game.

i really love how luke williams thinks about things and his whole approach to management, he thinks everything through like a real leader does and quite fairly he holds his own hands up. i think he has done very well to guide us to 6th place and i just hope we can spark our exciting form to maintain this. what williams says is very true!
