Fantastic news. What a signing this turned out to be. Nailed on for making the L2 team of the season.
Wow, great story and great news.
Like a lot of fans, I'd given up on him and just didn't think it would happen for him with us. So much had gone wrong, it seemed ill-fated.
It's testament to his determination then that he came back stronger than ever and he's been outstanding over the last dozen games or so.
And kudos to Montague for recruiting him in Jan '24
We don't have to worry so much about ever losing Matty Palmer either - the baton can be passed on to Robbo. And the way a young, physical midfield of Robbo and Iorpenda looked at Cheltenham is a nice option to have now and a possible glimpse into the years ahead.
Best news of the week - Robbo is a vital cog in the Notts wheel. We play better with him on the pitch, his return from injury has helped in the “consistency” department.
On Saturday Notts take on Harrogate at Meadow Lane, how many links can we find between the two clubs, players, managers, coaches etc.
My starter for 10 is Paul Bolland who played for Notts from 1999 - 2005 making 106 appearances scoring 6 goals he went on loan to Harrogate in 2012-2013.
How many more can we find?

Ed Francis, signed for Notts from Harrogate
We got Calvin Miller on loan from them.
Who knew this? Miller is the reigning SPFL's Scottish Championship Player of the Year
and now plays in the Scottish Premiership.
Jamie Turley is another ex player of both teams, can we make a starting XI?
Game 16 - Sulphurites (H)
Team - Harrogate Town
Date - 15/11/2025 15:00
Where - Meadow Lane
What would your starting line-up be? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

5-0 to Notts. No mercy from MP. Just enjoy it.
I think the Bedeau news should clinch the win.
Without RodMac, he would've been difficult to replace. You'd have either Bennetts there or Macari - so a back three of Ness, Platt, Macari, none of them in the groove in those exact positions. Harrogate might've benefitted from that.
As it is, Macari can continue his partnership with Tsaroulla and Bedeau's so strong we can bring back JJ or continue with Bennetts, it doesn't matter - we'll be strong down that side too.
These are the sort of matches Notts really needs to start winning now. Our results against the smaller sides have been a bit up and down, but things are starting to look more positive.
Recent form has picked up and the performances have been much more encouraging. You can see the effort and belief returning to the team.
Playing at Meadow Lane should give us a boost. The home crowd always helps, but Harrogate are tidy, well-organised side who can take advantage if we switch off.
It won’t be easy, but the key is to stay focused, work hard, and make the most of any chances that come our way.
Morning all, there was heavy rain in the night but it’s dry and bright at the moment.
We are having a walk up to the doctors surgery this morning, Mrs. T is still having a few ongoing problems and she’s finished her antibiotics, she then wants to go and see her girlie friends for coffee so I’m on my own till lunch time but I’ve got plenty to do.
Later I’ll be watching Notts on the box, safe travels to our supporters.
I hope everyone is well, let us know what’s happening in your life.

On 12/11/2025 at 20:57, DangerousSausage said: I might give DOSBox a try (I always fancied Sensible Soccer, and I miss football games). I've got Football Manager 2006 and have played it half to death. The latest versions don't really appeal to me as I think it's become too complex.
I haven't yet given much else a go, but I have re-installed Championship Manager 04 which has my favourite Notts lineup in the attacking department but DOSBox does a great job running CM 98. At some point, I plan to configure it so I can quick launch Ultimate Soccer Manager 98 and 2000. CM and USM were my favs back in the day, along with Premier Manager.
Regarding Sensible Soccer, do you know a fan remade it?
its the time of year its like a war zone at work, and i have more layers on going into work than i do once home. its been horrible today, a lot rain and just depressing feeling. its been quieter walking around, but i did look forward to going back to work during my dinner break. i usually really enjoy the break but not today.
These are the type of days that make me glad that I'm retired. When you are in a delivery job the rain is certainly not your friend. Even when well wrapped up it is no protection from the wet. On the other hand, the Sun can be your best friend.
Good luck to them both.
Exclusive: New Peterborough Boss Luke Williams Plots Macaulay Langstaff Loan Raid

Unfortunately I think the return of Macca is a bit of a pipe dream for us, especially as we are still in League 2. Pretty much every club in League 1 would be happy to have him (assuming they can afford him!)
if we signed macca back on loan, he would be the push needed to give this season all the fight we could.
tho i do think peterborough united would be a good chance to revive his career, i just would not expect williams to be there at the end of his loan or permanent move depending on if anything unfolds. i think its a difficult job for williams and a striker wont solve all the problems he has.
I don't think that Macca will ever return to Notts apart from being an interested spectator. I'm actually happy with what we have & Notts now play a little different to accommodate Jatta.
Changing mid season to accommodate Langstaff would be a backward step in my opinion. I think we would be getting a tall strong striker in January to back up Jatta & Dennis.
I want to start off by acknowledging that PON needs to return to a level of consistency with regard to the news, match reports, and so forth. I have numerous finished content pieces which I have put off because I wanted the site to be in full motion, but I haven't managed to keep to the standard I wish to set.
Moving forward, if I can't do something, I will ask one of the team members, and I am sure in time things will improve to a standard that visitors and members have enjoyed in the past.
I am also pleased to say that I have built and set up a system status page, which can be found here: https://status.prideofnottingham.co.uk/
Transparency and being up front is something I strongly believe in, and this system page will allow those who wish to see what is operational across the site. Issues will be posted as events, and updates will be given in a timely manner. If PON should happen to go down, you will be able to find out why by visiting this page.
You may subscribe to email alerts by entering your email address in the "Notify Me" box. Please remember to choose which updates you would like to stay in the loop about.
In the event one of these areas encounters a problem, you will be emailed and kept up to date with the progress, but only if you subscribe to this service. Bug reports will still be taken by the site and addressed within the forum.
Over the past week, I have spent time improving the mobile experience. While most of this will be noticeable only to team members, it does bring improvements to the header and logo for regular members.
There are subtle changes and a few improvements from a recent upgrade, which I plan to make the most of with these new features.
Awards will be given out on a merit-based routine, which will be more frequent. In areas and during the site's downtime, I will finish adding the rest of the ones I created.
There are a few more things in the pipeline, but they aren't quite ready to be mentioned.
My main focus is to get more organised over this weekend and pick up the content. It's a privilege to represent Notts fans and provide content to be enjoyed. I very much appreciate everyone's help, and a more oganised me will be a better PON experience for everyone.
Thank you for reading this,
Chris

i like the changes i have noticed to the mobile side, some neat things and as someone with mod powers it would make things easier to do. good update.
I really appreciate all the hard work you and the team have put into the website. It’s clear that a lot of time and care has gone into it. As members, we should try to match that same level of effort. I include myself in that. It’s only fair that we support the work by staying involved and doing our part.
I think the site is shaping up really well. I’m genuinely pleased with how it’s coming together.

Yeah, we were disappointed. But the money we can understand, and the fact his boss had been Stuart Maynard even more.
There's an imaginable scenario where his contribution could help win a promotion.
Football League World is nothing more than a gossip column, so I don't really put much credence into it's reports.
Personally I think that David made a big mistake leaving Notts, but he did & I think our club has now moved on. Notts have had some really good replacements for him who are scoring goals & are doing just fine.
Hopefully, Notts will strengthen the squad in January with a striker & another attacking midfielder to add to the talent we already have.
I'm sure Didzy will come good again at Barnsley, & I wish him well for the rest of the season.
i dont think we really need him, it would be like going backwards despite the quality he could bring. being amongst the league one divisions most shots, says something that he still has it but maybe he is just struggling to convert challenges. i would rather persist with tyrese hall at this stage, because much like dan crowley we have learned to live without david mcgoldrick now.

You may (or may not) like this game, the idea is to connect words in a certain number of guesses. It can be frustrating because sometimes they throw in American things we don’t necessarily know.

Martin Paterson has chosen a few different midfielders for the first eleven this season, however it appears that he has settled for Palmer & Roberson as his first team picks in the centre of midfield, & has decided on an alternative of Iorpenda, Hall, or Grant in the attacking midfield positions.
That leaves Norburn & Iorpenda as an alternative in the centre of midfield & Dennis, Iorpenda, Hall, Grant or even Jones & Jarvis who could all fill the AM positions.
So far this season I think that barring any injuries, Palmer & Robertson have made the central midfield positions their own & they are my preferred picks.
I think it is a little more difficult in the AM area. At the start of the season Jones was picked to play as an attacking midfielder but it was obvious that his best place was on the wings.
Iorpenda started in CM but lately MP has been playing him further forward with Grant or Hall, then we have Dennis who has been unable to get so many starts since Jatta's return. & we have Jarvis who can play as an AM or Winger waiting in the wings...
My preferred duo in the AM position at this time would be Grant & Iorpenda with Hall & Dennis very close. I think the AM positions are still up for grabs & we may even see some additional player recruited for that position in the Jan window.
It is certainly going to be very fascinating in the weeks ahead to see how Martin Paterson works it all out. What are your Thoughts?

I hear what you are saying @theAnticlough but the reality is, if we want automatic promotion, we cant carry a player in that position that doesn't deliver goals.
I've said that countless times myself @Piethagoram ! You must have missed the umpteen times I've made exactly that point ![]()
For now though, I'm happy to support him as we look to gather enough points to put us in a good spot come January.
Obviously Hall is ahead of all AMs, but in the absence of Luker, Grant is worth one of the AM shirts, bearing in mind that Iorpenda hasn't notched a single senior goal yet, and looks better playing deeper.
I think the thread might need a disclaimer. Us fans will always comment honestly on how we see the team, sections of the team, and individual players....usually from the standpoint of wanting success and the advancement of our club.
But when we have doubts about players, I think we all want to be proven wrong. We want nothing more than players proving themselves and making the critics eat humble pie.
I'd be over moon if, say, Grant and Iorpenda proved themselves to be promotion calibre No. 10s. The club's advancement is pretty much the be all and end all of being a fan. This should go without saying, but may get a bit lost on forums when debates and discussions get going.
Who's your Man of the Match v Cheltenham? 16 members have voted
A massive win for Notts tonight against an inform team. This win takes Notts into a promotion place in League 2 for the first time this season.
Notts had a brilliant first half & could have been double their actual lead at half time. Cheltenham came back into it in the 2nd half but Notts held out for that vital win.
So who is your man of the match for Notts? I have chosen the starting eleven for you to make your choice from.
Those players are,
Roos, Macari, Ness Bedeau, Tsaroulla, Robertson, Iorpenda, Bennetts, Grant, Hall, Jatta.

Any one of a number of players could have won the award, it was a great team performance, congratulations Scott Robertson.
It was a close vote for the Top spot between Nick & Scott. Scott has been putting in some great performances of late so I'm pleased that he won. It was richly deserved.
I am pleased for Scott Robertson, he deserved the Man of the Match no doubt.
This will be better promoted and highlighted moving forward; it slipped my mind due to two reasons one being health related but it's not good enough. I apologise to the community, and to @Robbie.
I am greatful for the understanding, but the process needs better handling and I should have reached out to a team member.
Am I missing something, why do we need a fan shirt? I don’t understand but apparently they’ve sold over 700 so far so fair play it all helps the club.
What are your thoughts?

1 hour ago, menzinho said: But it's selling and clearly quite popular so what do I know?!
Indeed, it’s selling and I guess that’s the name of the game, over 700 sold at £50 a pop, I guess I shouldn’t be negative about it but I really don’t see the point. ![]()
I wouldn't buy it myself but Kudus to the club for marketing it. The number of sold shirts will probably have exceeded over 1000 by now, so it appears it was a good idea to make them available to supporters.
It’s “pound note Joe” again! Awful shirt anyway, wouldn’t ever contemplate buying one - a few will, that’s a matter for them. It will make the Club a few quid, so that’s something, there’s always punters willing to pay.

I picked up a copy of Left Lion at the Fleetwood game and it felt like the paper version is going downhill fast. I know it's free, but it used to shine a light on everything going on in the city. The Notts content was stronger when the previous writer was involved. It felt easier to connect with and had more of a local voice. Now it seems a bit distant and not quite as engaging.
7 hours ago, Piethagoram said:
A great read. 👏
Notts are the form team of League 2. 7 wins & 1 draw from their last 10 matches. 4 wins in their last 5 is very impressive.
The team is starting to play for each other. They are the third joint highest scorers in the league with 27 goals with the 2nd highest goal difference, 18 of those goals in the last 10 games.
Things are beginning to click for Martin Paterson. We saw too sides of Notts against Cheltenham, a side that can play attractive incisive football like we saw in the first half, & a side that can work hard to keep their lead when they have to defend.
We also witnessed a Notts team without three of their best players against Cheltenham, however the players that came in for them slotted into their roles so well & the team still gave a very strong performance despite those missing players.
So it appears to me that the Notts squad is now beginning to gel together so well as a team. Football is a team game & if individuals begin to know how their fellow team members play, their positioning & their runs off the ball, team performance can invariably improve.
So I think a lot of the improvement is down to this. Thoughts?

Our form is even more impressive when you consider how poorly we started the season, with one point from our first three games and MP not having a clue what his best team was. The quality of football we play is still up and down at times, but the new additions look integrated in the team now and the results speak for themselves.
It's partly about availability. At the start of the season Jatta was suspended, Robertson, Tsaroulla and Ness recovering from injury (I think), and Macari and Hall not considered match ready. So basically MP has been doing a brilliant job since he's had key players available.
@Robbie you make a good point about the missing players against Cheltenham, when I saw the team I feared we might suffer but the first half performance in particular was very good so it shows that we can rely on the players who come in to give a good account of themselves when we have injuries and suspensions, at the moment the future looks bright, long May it continue.
