  1. Luke Williams isnโ€™t mistaken, thereโ€™s a considerable journey ahead and weโ€™re aware that heโ€™s thrilled deep down, yet heโ€™s preserving the professionalism weโ€™ve all grown to appreciate. He wonโ€™t dwell too much on leading the league, but heโ€™ll aim to keep a favourable position and when the time is right, I believe weโ€™ll see him coax more from our team. The players and coaching staff have made remarkable progress, itโ€™s delightful to anticipate another thrilling season, but Iโ€™ll adopt Williamsโ€™ approach and concentrate on each task at hand.
  2. Cheltenham seems to be in trouble. Theyโ€™ll need to recover quickly after this season. I donโ€™t see their fortunes changing anytime soon.
  3. The podcast discussed several ways to hold the ownership accountable. Itโ€™s positive that fans can prevent changes to their team colours and club crests. It would be good to protect grounds from being sold by dubious owners and force councils to listen to fans regarding planning permission.
  4. The tweet is somewhat misleading. Itโ€™s a team effort, and while heโ€™s a good player, the teamโ€™s improvement isnโ€™t solely because of him. Heโ€™s a talented player who will likely play at a higher level in a few years. I doubt heโ€™ll return to this level anytime soon.
  5. Iโ€™ve never met Jimmy, but I would have loved to interview him. Iโ€™ve spoken to famous people for my work, but none of them really interest me. Jimmy Sirrel would be in my top 5 dream interviews. I enjoy hearing fans share their experiences with him. He was an excellent manager, arguably the best the club has ever had.
  6. Notts put on a great team show. Although both sides could have reduced individual errors, the game wouldnโ€™t have been as exciting. The second half was particularly enjoyable with action at both ends. As a Notts supporter, itโ€™s pleasing to see the team play well and maintain control. Forest Green also played seriously and showed quality.
  7. I greatly admire Luke Williams for his candour and relentless pursuit of perfection. Although he stated earlier this season that he doesnโ€™t place too much emphasis on performances, itโ€™s evident that he takes great pride in the teamโ€™s performance. Conceding three goals wasnโ€™t necessarily a negative for us; most supporters will recognise the closeness of the match. However, the pivotal moment was when the score was levelled at 2-2. If Forest Green had scored their three goals in a different manner, Luke might not have been as vexed.
  8. This is quite amusing, but I canโ€™t help but wonder if Blade fans will choose to purchase their eyewear elsewhere? The UK does have a tendency to take umbrage at things like this. There seems to be a distinct lack of humour these days.
  9. The entire situation seems to have been blown out of proportion, and I donโ€™t believe an apology is warranted. Iโ€™ve seen the tweet, and if Tom wants to project maturity, he should refrain from endorsing frivolous comments. It would reflect better on him if he chose to rise above it, but considering some of the tweets heโ€™s been receiving, itโ€™s all proving to be quite beneficial for his public image. Thatโ€™s why I find it hard to believe that heโ€™s genuinely bothered by what Connell Rawlinson wrote. Itโ€™s all rather petty; one would expect better from Rawlinson, but heโ€™s entirely within his rights to tweet whatever he pleases, as long as itโ€™s not offensive. Taking offence to being told to โ€˜stay in your laneโ€™ seems rather thin-skinned and weak-minded for someone who dishes out analyses and opinions that could potentially provoke others.
  10. Iโ€™m keeping a close eye on them; if they manage to stay afloat, it will be an achievement even more remarkable than their promotion. Theyโ€™re in the midst of a real struggle, facing extremely challenging circumstances. If I were a Luton Town supporter, my hope would be for investment to develop the club. If they were to be relegated, bouncing back would be a formidable task in its own right. I extend my best wishes to them.
  11. Hello, @Niederbayern Pie. The Pride of Nottingham has plenty of discussion and content to keep you entertained. Join in and share your thoughts. Welcome!
  12. Hello, @Middlesex Magpie. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, I hope to see you join with us.
  13. Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. It's great to have you here, @Morten Johansen.
  14. It's great to have you here, @Ryan Raynor.Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham.
  15. Impartially, I find myself aligning more with @liampieโ€™s views as they resonate more accurately with my own opinion.
  16. Itโ€™s a delight to witness each of our four players finding the back of the net. Itโ€™s gratifying to see Dan Crowley reaping the rewards of his stellar performances. Macaulay Langstaffโ€™s goal will undoubtedly serve as a significant morale booster for him. Luke Williams is correct; he has goals in him, and we must accept that he wonโ€™t be scoring as prolifically, but reaching double digits is entirely achievable. As for John Bostock and David McGoldrick, their class is undeniable, and itโ€™s pleasing to see both of them on the score sheet. The pass from Jodi Jones to McGoldrick was spot on!
  17. As supporters, we naturally hope for a victory, but it would be unwise to dismiss Forest Green outright. Iโ€™m not intimately familiar with their team, so I canโ€™t assess their potential threat, but they should be well-prepared to face us. The anticipation for the game is palpable.
  18. My knowledge of Forest Green Rovers is somewhat limited due to our time in the National League and their tenure in League Two. However, it would be a mistake to assume that the game will be a walkover and that Notts will secure a win before a ball has even been kicked. The outcome depends on numerous factors - if we perform well, a favourable result should follow. My hope is for competent officials who can effectively manage the game and curb unnecessary yellow cards. A stern warning early on usually suffices. Our strategy should be to utilise Macaulay Langstaff effectively and attempt shots from outside the area. If they adopt a defensive strategy or aim for a draw, we need to apply relentless pressure.
  19. As Neil Warnock embarks on his retirement, we wish him all the best. It would be beneficial for a platform like Sky Sports to secure him as a pundit, preventing him from accepting another managerial position. This arrangement would allow him to continue enjoying football while having more leisure time. His rants, undoubtedly more entertaining than a grumpy Roy Keane, would be a welcome addition.
  20. In the realm of international football, skilled players often enjoy more time with the ball. This is particularly true for Jodi Jones, whose encounters with superior players not only challenge him but also contribute to his growth as a footballer. He has seamlessly reintegrated into League Two, demonstrating impressive skills on the field. Undoubtedly, he is a crucial asset to our team. His performances are a delight to watch, and it is our hope that he continues to find joy in playing for Notts.
  21. Leeds United 3-0 Watford Swansea City 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday Cambridge United 0-2 Port Vale Portsmouth 2-1 Lincoln City Morecambe 0-1 Swindon Town Joker Stockport County 1-2 Wrexham Gateshead 2-0 Maidenhead United Oldham Athletic 0-0 Oxford City
  22. Jesse Debrah is a talented player, but life goes on. Port Vale have acquired a very capable defender who should be a valuable asset in League One. Itโ€™s important to remember that some players, particularly younger ones, choose League One as itโ€™s just one step away from the Championship. Having spent time in the National League, heโ€™ll be keen to progress, and thereโ€™s always a risk associated with League Two. If he can make a good impression in L1, it could be a significant boost for his career. I donโ€™t blame him for making the move.
  23. Being an Exeter fan must be tough at the moment, given their 9-0 defeat. Itโ€™s a harsh reality check and a disappointment for their supporters.
  24. The goal was the result of an excellent passing move. The ball was played into space, and as they advanced up the pitch, more space opened up, leading to the goal. While the goal itself may not have been spectacular, the quality of the passes leading up to it elevates it.
  25. The problem is, theyโ€™re not a team that can readily replace their talent. Theyโ€™re likely to face difficulties, and appointing a new manager wonโ€™t instantly rectify their creative problems. Itโ€™s a tricky situation because unity is key at this point. After all, any incoming manager will be limited in what they can do until the transfer window opens.
