Macualay Langstaff Reflects on a Remarkable Year for Notts County
Macaualay Langstaff is continually getting better and his commitment to hard work is sure to yield results. The fact that he doesn’t fixate on goals or outcomes shows that he’s always focused on giving his utmost. It would be great if he could score a few goals tonight. It would be a nice lift for both him and us.

Luke Williams Reflects on Midseason and Expresses Respect for Stockport County
Hopefully, Luke Williams will get a break at some point. He’s a competent manager and the respect he displays says a lot about his character. He’s done exceptionally well for us, we’re truly fortunate.

Notts County’s Luke Williams on Team Performance: ‘We Cannot Be So Scared to Play Football’
I have great faith in Luke Williams, and I’m confident that he has the ability to turn things around. This is his first significant challenge at Notts County. We had a team capable of advancing from the National League when he joined. He just needs time to work out what’s going wrong and how we can overcome these issues. Yes, it’s more than just a headache, it’s frustrating, but we can’t start demanding a new manager, just as it’s unrealistic to expect a completely new set of centre backs. We’re sorely missing Matt Palmer, who brings so much control to our midfield. It’s not an excuse. The defence should be able to cope, but they’re simply not up to the task at the moment.

new led advertising
The club is committed to this, and I hope it does generate more revenue. I believe this is largely because the club is finding it difficult to get firms to sponsor a board at the moment. So, switching to LED could be a beneficial decision.

Luke Williams on Harrogate: 'Were More Unpredictable Than the League'
Notts' performance can be inconsistent, but that's just the nature of football. We can't anticipate consecutive promotions. League Two is tougher than the National League, but even so, underdogs can triumph. I simply wish for Notts to regain their discipline and determination to secure the outcomes we desire.

I’ve been capped by PoN
This sparked an idea in me that once a certain donation goal is reached, the member could be rewarded with a special PON cap. Imagine that! @Fan of Big Tone, this is fantastic, it really suits your blurry face. I hope you enjoy it!

Subscribing to Pride of Nottingham
Even though I have a job, I probably wouldn’t be able to commit to a membership tier. It’s astonishing how quickly money can disappear, but I will remember to make occasional donations because it’s the least I can do and I know Chris will appreciate it.

Where are they now? Alan Sheehan
I would always wish the best for someone like Alan Sheehan. We may have had difficulties during his time at the club, but none of it was his fault. We are indebted to him for the penalty he scored that kept us in League One against Oldham. I hope he accomplishes his coaching aspirations.

Match Discussion: Game 22 - Sulphurites (A)
I want to see Notts attack as we know they can. We’ve had good and bad performances away from home, some average, but no matter how we play, creating goal opportunities can win games, so we need to improve creatively. I believe Dan Crowley will bounce back after being substituted, assuming he’s not injured. @yelobeli - I hope you manage to get the tickets. You often see them being sold in Facebook groups when some fans can’t attend. I’ll be there, @CliftonMagpie or @liampie always sorts our tickets the moment they go on sale. Have a nice day whatever you end up doing.

Notts County’s Momentum: ‘One-nil Up is Not Job Done,’ Says Luke Williams
Currently, Luke Williams is facing a slump and poor performance that he hasn’t encountered before. Usually, he can get Notts back on track, but for some reason, despite the effort, it’s not working at the moment. I don’t agree with David Jackson’s presser suggestion that Notts are overconfident. I believe it’s not a lack of confidence. It’s likely a combination of nerves and panic causing the defensive problems. As for what went wrong in the second half against Walsall, it’s much simpler because Notts just stopped playing. When that happens, passing becomes tedious.

MAGnet Links - Harrogate
Ed Francis is another footballer to mention in this MAGnet discussion, given that he also played for Harrogate.

Introducing James Sanderson #Notts
He’s already made a mark with that goal. Our fans simply want to see a young player succeed, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m excited about our youth prospects, but we need to ensure they’re ready for the first team.

Tifos (stadium displays)
I fully support this idea. It would be wonderful to have at Meadow Lane. We could create a display about our relegation from the Football League and how Christoffer and Alexander Reedtz revitalised us, making us an appealing club to watch.

Where are they now - Enzio Boldewijn
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.

Notts County Skipper Kyle Cameron Reflects on the Season So Far
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.

Countdown to Kick-off: Notts County’s Quest for Victory Against Walsall
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.

Stupid decisions leading to a penalty..and it's not Notts
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!
-
Match Discussion: Game 21 - The Saddlers (H)
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.

Luke Williams Confident in Notts County’s Ability to Achieve Sustained Success
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.

Luke Williams on Nurturing Notts County’s Future Star, James Sanderson: ‘I’m Very Enthusiastic About What He Could Achieve'
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.

EFL to clamp down on Matchday Vloggers
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.

Goal : JO'B v Crawley
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.

Goals : Notts v Shrewsbury
Those will haunt us for some time, three nightmarish goals gifted to Shrewsbury in a game we should have won.
