twice luke williams has said the title is out of reach, mind games or not. how do you feel?

6 games left, i hate to say it but at this point i dont see wrexham dropping enough points for us to sneak back top. i do believe williams is hopeful that we can compete still when he said these comments about it being over, i just feel now it really is.

i saw this tweet from chris earlier and it got me wondering, how involved are you in the notts community?

i think i could compare the community part to pon, people here have always been great and i feel at home, i speak and say hello to fans i see in person, they might not realise its me but i do like saying hello when i do see someone.

Been recalled from Boston and sent straight back out to Gainsborough Trinity. Seems a good move to me as they have pushed him to play a higher level than Basford but he hasn't been able to get into the starting XI. Probably a season too soon for him to play at that level.

The Pride of Nottingham website has been updated. With this some of the features and site itself will be a bit querky until I can make sure they're in-keeping with these changes.

Our homepage for example needs some care - don't worry about this.

Once I can fix the important areas of the site, I will focus on adding content again to the site and returning everything to as it was. I would ask that members bear with me. Whilst asking team members to assist and, check out the team updates as a way to help PON move forward.

These are the major things I need to mention:

Please don't report any issues yet, as I will be sweeping the site and then asking folks to assist with what I miss or may not have seen.

Many thanks,
Chris

The weekend is on its way, so we can all look forward to chippy teas, football and the PON prediction league. Post your predictions by 3pm on Saturday, and remember your joker!

  • Dominated pretty much that first half and then they score from a long throw in the last seconds. Football eh… I think had we gone into half-time winning Barnet would’ve pushed even more and that potentially makes it easier to get a second goal.

    I just hate the fact in our current scenario it’s two points dropped rather than a good away point, any other season that’s a decent result.

    i think its still a good result, we are a step closer to securing the 2nd place which will be helpful for the playoffs. its just that the two points dropped makes fighting for the title even harder, i dont think we will catch them now and that is frustrating.

    i am incredibly proud of the squad for what they have and are achieving.

    over 100 points would be a great accomplishment.

    We are absolutely nailed on for second place @liampie. Woking and Chesterfield can get a maximum of 92 points if they win all their remaining games - we're on 91. Barring a freak it'll be a question of winning two more games at the end of the regular season - one at home, and (hopefully) one at Wembley.

    The second half was poor and we looked at least as likely to concede a goal as score one. A @menzinho says, a point away at the team in fifth would normally be a steady result, but we've had no margin for error at all. Now it's a question of winning as many as we can and making sure the team is in the right frame of mind for the play-offs. If things open up again at the very top of the table then great, but we need snookers now.

  • i thought the ref made some bizarre calls but instead of being biased, just completely incompetent.

    i need to see the highlights to judge the penalty he gave for eastleigh to open up the score, but from what i saw i think it was more them grabbing our players and ours trying to get them off. possibly something they trained on as a way to get a penalty? i think they looked pretty poor. thankfully we had the time and creativity to change the outcome. ruben missing the penalty was a bit of a disappointment but joe mcdonnell did well to make his double save.

    I thought Eastleigh played dirty, not sure how they kept 11 players on the pitch. I thought their manager got sent off, but it was someone else. Notts looked good and managed to score. I was worried after the penalty miss, but we still won!

    IΒ was ecstatic about Notts County's 3-1 victory over Eastleigh. The match was a true test of the team's grit and determination, with both sides going for it, but I felt Eastleigh went in harder with rough challenges. However, the players showed incredible courage and never-give-up attitude in the second half to secure the win.

    One player who truly shone in this match was Rodrigues. He was an unstoppable force on the field and played a critical role in securing the victory for Notts County. His talent and skill were evident throughout the match, and it's clear that he has the potential to be a game-changer in future matches.

    Another player who caught my attention was Sam Austin. He was constantly on the move and never stopped running forward or being direct in his approach to the game. He was a constant menace for the opposition and made a significant impact on the match. I strongly believe that he should be given more playing time to help contribute to the team's success.

On a seperate note, is anyone getting 2 duplicate emails for the same notification, I've had 2 for this post and 2 for the prediction post. Very weird

Game 38 - Wanderers (H)

  • I feared the worst when Dorking scored first, but the team showed character once again. It's a bit of a worry that we only had four players on the bench - a keeper plus three midfielders. The team more or less picked itself, which is less than ideal if things go wrong. Hopefully we'll have some players returning on Tuesday.

    7 hours ago, Chris said:

    The player who went in goal, I believe, is their backup, and he's also a cricketer.

    It's good that they welcomed him to the fold then. Could have been a sticky wicket otherwise.

    Lincoln looked like a Sunday league keeper, scrambling to the ball every time a pass got placed through and one of our players had to run onto it. I think he fouled Nemane, which he did not even get spoken to. The result was good, but the performance a lot better.

    You could see little bits that the players had been working on in training and I think it paid off.

    I was really worried when Dorking scored first, but once again, our team showed their true character. However, I have to admit that I was a bit uneasy when I saw that we only had four players on the bench. That's including a goalkeeper and only three midfielders. It wasn't ideal, especially if things didn't go as planned.

    To be honest, having a limited number of substitutes could cause a few problems for the team, particularly if there was an injury or players were feeling fatigued. It's crucial to have a variety of options to choose from, especially during the latter part of the game. Despite the circumstances, our team put on a fantastic performance, and I was genuinely inspired by their resilience.

    Looking forward, I'm hoping that we'll have some of our players back in action for tomorrow's match. It would definitely help to have a more extensive selection of players to choose from, especially when making crucial substitutions. It's important to be prepared for any challenges that may arise during the game, and having a full complement of players will undoubtedly increase our chances of winning.

This lot kick off at 3pm this coming Saturday - remember your jokers and good luck!

As the 2022-23 National League season nears its end, I am interested in hearing the thoughts of PON members on which player they believe has stood out and been the most consistent throughout the season.

It's important to consider the impact that the player has had on the team as a whole. A standout player who consistently performs at an exceptional level can inspire and motivate their teammates, leading to an overall improvement in team performance. In the same way, a strong player on their team can help their team keep up a steady level of play. They can also help their team when they are not playing well.

Who would you choose and why?
