Anti-Red

Stuart Maynard's dismissal came as a surprise, but I think he was dealt a rough hand by not having his assistant properly replaced. The good and the bad is that he never looked like he was adapting well, and I believe the decision was the right call. His replacement seems to have taken just as long as Maynard would have to make a substitute, which suggests there might be some issues to work through. I hope, for our sake, that it’s not too late and we can focus on the new season. It’s important that the team gets a fresh start and we can move forward positively.

I’d hate to imagine the reaction if things go wrong. AFC Wimbledon are a good team and in decent form. No matter how many goals they’ve scored away from home, they’ll know a lot about Alex Bass, and we might need to rely on him heavily to get something from this game. I’m hopeful we’ll win, but I dread the worst-case scenario if the Maynard critics start speaking up.

The FA may have made a good decision given the options. I’d much prefer this appointment than some average, clueless Englishman who would look out of his depth after just three games in charge.

A few years ago, some fans might have questioned it, but that’s not for us to do. In this day and age, we can only hope that the darkness he feels will turn into happiness, joy, and things he enjoys. So, best wishes to Cedwyn Scott. Your wellbeing comes first, and if anyone questions you needing time, forget them.

Hello, @Jackie May. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. Enjoy the site.

There's no denying the first half was poor. Compared to Morecambe’s team effort, we struggled, even though we looked comfortable on the ball. There was no organisation going forward, with players ending up isolated or trying to go it alone. The second half was much better.

It’s a bit of a guessing game right now, but I hope Notts can show me we can win these kinds of matches, which would give me more confidence in Stuart Maynard. We need to aim for the best finish possible, so games like this will be a real eye-opener. If it ends in a draw, it wouldn’t be the worst result.

The success of this season depends on how Notts handle games like this. Until the match starts, we can't know how tough Bromley will be, but all the training and preparation aim to make it a success, I hope. I’m not calling for Stuart Maynard to be sacked, but it’s games like this that would give me more confidence in him.

I don’t really like it, I feel the shirt is too dark. Similarly, I’m not a fan of shirts that are mostly white. There’s a fine line to walk, but I applaud the club for striving to be creative and distinctive. Moreover, I find the sponsor’s emblem on the front quite displeasing, as it’s overly bright for our home shirt.

I’m not fond of it, I believe the shirt is excessively black. I also tend not to appreciate shirts that are predominantly white. There’s a delicate balance to be struck, but I commend the club for their efforts to be innovative and unique. Additionally, I find the sponsor’s logo on the front rather unattractive, as it’s too bright for our home shirt.

I reckon you can't take the bookies' odds too seriously, maybe under the trees, but we've been more unconventional lately. Stuart Maynard might be the first choice under the Reedtz, which would be a thrilling start. They tend to like the unfamiliar, but I hope we hire a more conventional manager who knows English football well.

I'm feeling rather nervous but excited ahead of tomorrow's match against The Wombles, they're a frightfully tough team, but I believe we've got what it takes to come out on top. Our defence has been looking slightly better lately, and if we can capitalise on our chances up front, I think we could be in for an entertaining afternoon. COYP!

Ah, Romello Nangle - what a character! I remember him from his time at Notts. He was always a bit of a wild card, but he had a lot of heart and gave his all on the pitch. Shame things didn't work out for him in the end, and it's a shame he's resorted to crime.

Read the article and shared it with my mates. In all honesty, I was a bit doubtful about the next season, but hearing about the strategy from Macaulay himself, I feel like we can expect some good games.

What a fantastic achievement for the Notts County Academy! This is incredibly heartening news for everyone associated with the club. The increase in funding will undoubtedly enable greater opportunities for youth development. Congratulations to Dan Leivers and his whole team!
