It’s a good idea to keep track of injuries. I wish Notts would provide a bit more information when they can. Some teams are very prompt with injury updates, and sometimes we are too. Obviously, with long-term injuries, there’s not much to say, but a monthly update could go a long way.

The Pride of Nottingham is clearly a labour of love for you, gaffer. It’s great to see the Faces of PON. These pictures are absolutely stunning! I hope the fans who feature really see how much Notts means to you and enjoy seeing themselves captured sharing their passion for the club. The photo of the guy holding what I assume to be his child is a great capture!

They are friendlier than kangaroos, but they can still deliver a powerful kick if they feel threatened. I hope they are all safely rounded up; it can't just be one.

It's fantastic to see Jodi Jones receiving this PON achievement. He performed very well before his injury. This recognition will be a great encouragement for him when he returns.

After work, I will be travelling by train to Nottingham. My dad will pick me up so I can go to Meadow Lane and watch Notts play against Port Vale. Work has become more enjoyable, but it’s also a lot more demanding. At least football doesn’t rot your brain! Good morning, everyone!

Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @Jackie May. You will be made welcome, and encouraged as part of the community if you join in.

The game would have been very different without the early goal. It might have put Notts under more pressure, so we need to ensure we can keep possession, play the ball out from the back, and create attacks. In the second half, we posed no threat at all, and we were quite lucky at times, with Carlisle unable to get past a strong Alex Bass. Defensively, we were solid, and we had some decent chances in the first half to take more shots. A better team would have punished us for how poorly we attacked in the final 45 minutes. Carlisle are a capable team, but their poor form was evident, especially in their finishing. They should take a lot away from this game and look to improve, but we also need to learn from our performance in the second half.

Port Vale are a strong team, and I believe they will pose a greater threat in attack than Gillingham did. They have much more pace and creativity when it comes to creating chances. They could turn out to be one of the better teams we face at home this season. A good start would involve Notts keeping hold of the ball and using it to assess Vale's strengths and weaknesses. I hope we don't see too many changes in the lineup, as the team tends to perform better when it remains settled. However, Stuart Maynard has had to make adjustments due to injuries and fatigue. I don’t expect there to be more than two goals scored in the match.

Stuart Maynard is doing everything he can to win over those who are still not behind him. More fans seem to be supporting him, and we are in a good position thanks to his guidance. His coaching and training are getting the best out of this squad. I am glad the team managed to close down and prevent Carlisle from scoring. It shows we can make changes and still cope with the momentum swinging in favour of the opposition team.

Well done, Alex Bass! He put in a top performance yesterday and was vital in helping us keep a clean sheet. He’s a top keeper, and we are very lucky to have him here. We should see many more top performances from him.

Without Alex Bass tonight, we wouldn’t be celebrating the win. They might have come back or even won the game. It’s not that we were bad defensively, but we did rely on luck at times, and Bass was outstanding.

We were a bit fortunate in the second half, but Alex Bass was brilliant in goal. Defensively, we looked strong, though there were a few moments when Carlisle managed to get a shot off. I thought they were quite poor up front and at the back, but their midfield wasn't an issue. I'm proud to see us hold on to the lead we worked hard for, and to get a clean sheet as well.

I trust the club to make the right decisions, and as fans, our role is to encourage the club to use academy players and support them in their development. When they're ready, we'll see them, and I dream of the day when we're promoting our own talent. But for now, we do need to work with players from other clubs too. I'm okay with that, as long as they come here wanting to work hard and earn their place, not expect it just because of where they come from.

The referee and officials are meant to put players' health and wellbeing first. Reckless and rash challenges need to be stamped out of the game. It doesn't always need to result in cards; a good official should be able to manage it with their voice. If that doesn't work, then the cards should come out. I believe everyone on the pitch deserves protection, including defenders who sometimes get hit hard by attacking players.

Nice one, @Robbie. Well done to you, @Countyman. Glad to see you've reached the grandmaster milestone on PON.

I think it's one of those games where we should do better. I can't see Carlisle wanting to sit back and wait. While they might be patient, I fully expect them to try and overpower Notts. They have some very good young players who, on their day, can change a game in an instant. The problem is, when they attack, they can leave themselves wide open, and Notts should go at them directly. It would be good to see some shots from near the edge of the box. It's a tough game to predict, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended 2-2 or 2-3. I just hope we show our quality and leave knowing we gave it our all.

Well deserved! I think David McGoldrick was class and a shining light with his performance for us yesterday.

I can’t fault the outcome. Yes, the first half could have been better, but it could have been worse. Their goal was a fluke with how it landed. I don’t have any issue leaving with a point, as Notts improved in the second half, and that’s typical of football at this level. If we want to get promoted, we need to be patient and avoid moaning. We should get back to winning ways. Make a point, but there’s no need to be negative.

Notts fought hard, and we need to remember that the changes we made had an impact. The lads who went off had tried their best and were exhausted. We needed that effort, and the point is a good one despite the chances we had. I have no complaints about the draw. I know some will be disappointed, and I felt that in the first half, but watching David McGoldrick and Dan Crowley put in good performances, and then seeing the changes in the second half push for the draw, showed real spirit!
