  1. Best of luck to Enzio. He often frustrated me during his time here, and it seemed like he was slowing down, but I’m grateful for his contributions. For instance, his performance in the League Two match against Macclesfield showed his fighting spirit.
  2. I respect Kyle Cameron, he’s an excellent captain. Those fans who doubt his abilities are missing the point. He’s clearly competent, and with our support, he should continue to improve. I appreciate his sincere responses.
  3. It’s a significant match for Walsall, and we may appear weaker if we don’t find a way to secure a win. We shouldn’t underestimate them, but we should be victorious against teams below us. That’s our main task, so hopefully, we can avoid any unexpected setbacks.
  4. Well, I thought I’d seen it all in football! A defender handling the ball while the goalkeeper has it in his grasp is simply astonishing!
  5. Based on Walsall’s performance, Notts should have ample opportunities and devise innovative strategies to advance the ball into attack zones. Aaron Nemane and Dan Crowley could prove difficult for them to handle if they can weave their magic. Jodi Jones could also add a spark to our game. While Walsall has some good players, they seem disoriented on the field and usually play with just one forward.
  6. We really are a good bunch of Notts fans, well worth your time! So, welcome and enjoy! @TT1970
  7. The players are good enough, but ideally we could use someone who is a leader at the back and can improve on what we have. It's fair to give players a chance and to defend them, but we do need someone who is always focused on organising the back and dealing with threats actively. Mistakes will happen, but they do need to be minimised.
  8. James Sanderson performed well, but we need to avoid overhyping his debut. The problem I see is people making negative comments if he plays and underperforms or just plays in a way that some fans can’t see he needs time. I do hope to see him in the team, but it will be seasons away before we have a youth player that is going to be with us for a while.
  9. Football is nothing without the fans, so I can’t understand why they would try to take something like this away from them. There has been a surge of people hoping to make big paydays by Google ads via YouTube. There was a young lad, who wasn’t very good at vlogging some time ago, he just made fans look bad and would brag about making good money from his terrible videos. To earn a reasonable amount, you really had to be getting good views. Views that are retained. I hope they should be strict with people who are doing it for the right reason, give knowledge and put effort in.
  10. Jim O’Brien has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. I wonder if he will bag a hat-trick before Christmas? Usually, one goal leads to a flurry of them from him.
  11. Those will haunt us for some time, three nightmarish goals gifted to Shrewsbury in a game we should have won.
  12. Wesley Burns is a very good Championship player, way too good for being stuck in a team like Ipswich. He would fit into any of the teams that bounce up and down between the Premier League. It was a beautiful strike and well-worked goal.
  13. Hello, @Darryl Chapman. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. We are a very friendly community.
  14. I hope we can begin to worry less, as we’ve noticed that we often give up too quickly, something we’ve been conscious of all season. I won’t criticise the players for the poor defence, I’m certain they’re aware and will be upset with themselves. I simply hope we become more resilient from this experience because we’re in an excellent position where a little more effort could yield results.
  15. The video complements the artwork beautifully, allowing you to appreciate the evolution of the piece as each part is drawn sequentially.
  16. We’ve seen a rise in the past and there’s no reason why we can’t see another in the future. I don’t believe the boss needs to make any special efforts to reach out. We’re in a strong position with many excellent members, though it would be lovely to see some return. @Super_Danny_Allsopp continues to post, but seems a bit less involved. I noticed he came back and posted on his wall, but didn’t get a response.
  17. Hello, welcome to our site and community @Strawb66. I hope you have fun on PON.
  18. I have faith in Luke Williams, but he needs to be looking for defenders come January. Junior Morias is a great lad too, I’m glad he got his chance and scored. It’s just a pity our defenders can’t hold their ground as well.
  19. I’m gutted that I made the journey from Manchester to endure the cold and watch that performance. That's what we fans do, isn't it? I’m at a loss for words at how poor our defence was. There were moments when it was truly astounding. It was the same team that conceded the goals we did. The highlight was the youngster who scored our second goal - he struck it brilliantly and deserves to be the talking point.
  20. Our defence was rather haphazard, leading to three easy goals for the opposition. The club needs to address this defensive issue as we’re not seeing any signs of improvement. Shrewsbury Town weren’t significantly superior to us. The main difference between us was our poor defending.
  21. Defeating Shrewsbury Town wouldn't necessarily be considered a surprising victory. They’re a strong team, but they could easily blend into League Two and be average or compete with us. They have some good players, but we mustn’t forget our own strengths. A successful cup run would be great, but first, we need to focus on tonight’s match and aim for a win.
  22. We talked in the pre-season about how Junior Morias would fit into the squad. With Cedwyn Scott’s injury, Junior has been given more of an opportunity. He’s got a turn of speed that’s frighteningly quick, which could come in handy. His goal was brilliantly placed, so we know he’s got the ability to score. I hope he gets more opportunities as he’s had a bit of bad luck with injuries.
  23. Crawley Town certainly posed a challenge, but once we got into our stride and David McGoldrick equalised, we were able to take control in the second half. Jim O'Brien's remarkable goal showcased his unwavering agility, effortlessly converting a challenging header into a seemingly effortless move. I’m really chuffed for him and hope he scores a few more this season.
  24. He was a deeply troubled singer, and fame wasn’t kind to him. I was glad when he finally managed to smile again. It seemed like he had turned a corner, which makes it all the more sad to hear of his passing. Rest in Peace, Shane McGowan.
  25. Just like the Man of the Match in football, it brings teams together and gives a player something to aim for or to feel valued for their efforts. I’m glad to see it’s back, giving everyone a chance to earn the recognition they deserve. I’m happy for @Piethagoram and @super_ram, two very kind and dedicated members of the PON forum. Congratulations to both of you, enjoy the campaign.
