Hello and welcome to our last midweek round of the season! These all kick off at 7.45pm, give it your best shot and remember your jokers!
Sunderland v Huddersfield Town
Burton Albion v Bolton Wanderers
Exeter City v Derby County
Carlisle United v Stockport County
Crawley Town v Colchester United
Grimsby Town v Barrow
Altrincham v Dagenham & Redbridge
Halifax Town v Bromley
With the remaining three fixtures, how would you approach them if you were Luke Williams? Would you consider resting some of the key players? For example, Ruben Rodrigues, Adam Chicksen, and Sam Slocombe? Perhaps allow some of the fringe players to get some game time whilst they rested for the playoffs.
If not, do you feel it's important to continue playing the same squad for consistency purposes? Keep the form going, allow the players to see out their form and hope that they're ready for the next stage of our season. Do you feel the title is still up for grabs? It is possible, although unlikely, that Wrexham may slip. So how do we proceed from this point in your opinion?

The beginning of the game was somewhat back and forth, although Woking experienced difficulty retaining possession or making it towards the goal. Notts had a few promising attacks but nothing substantial. In my opinion, Sam Austin had the most favourable opportunity in the first half as the ball came down in an awkward manner, but he was still able to control it.
During the second half, Woking was bound to decrease the speed of the game, which is when the chance arose. It wasn't necessarily due to Adam Chicksen and Jodi Jones swapping positions, but rather the pace increased, and the players sensed that a goal was imminent. Before the first goal, there were two or three decent opportunities.
Compared to the standards of this year, the first half was quite dreadful and, at times, downright awful. However, when considering all the dreadful squads that Notts has had over the years, it wasn't that terrible. If Woking had scored, we might have had grounds for complaints, but the game was rather evenly matched. It's challenging to find fault with a 3-0 home victory, a clean sheet, and a satisfactory overall performance.
It sounds like the Wrexham defeat played heavily on the players' minds and caused a bit of a setback in play. Usually, I think a goalless first half isn't anything to be disheartened by. You have two teams in close contention with each other, one of which is desperately trying to secure third place. It sounds as if the win became a lot easier after the first goal went in. It sounds like a good win to me!
I always get emotional on the anniversary of Hillsborough. I was 12 and I remember it like it was yesterday. Scenes like that were too much to process for a 12 year old. 97 victims. Countless lives destroyed. Grown men and women who still can't talk about or deal with what they witnessed that day. Today I would like to remember Tony Bland, Andy Devine, Sarah Hicks and Louise Hicks. Tony clung to life for 4 years before passing away in 1993. Andy survived against all the odds and died at the age of 55. The 97th victim. Sarah and Louise were sisters. 19 & 15. A life time of potential gone in a few tragic moments.
I'm in Liverpool in June and the memorial will be my first stop. It will be emotional but it's something I need to do.

I'm not sure if I have too much free time on my hands, but I recently relocated from a Sheffield-based publishing company to work for a content creation company in Manchester. My move will make it easier for me to attend games, as I previously had an apartment in Leeds when I was studying at university.
During yesterday's game, I couldn't help but notice that there weren't enough chants for the players. I found myself reflecting on the discussion I initiated about reducing the pressure going into the playoffs.
I've come up with three chants, but I'm not sure if they're great ideas or if they'll catch on. Nevertheless, I'm interested to see if they'll be sung, and I hope no one will steal credit for them. Ha ha.
To the tune of "When the Saints Go Marching In":
Oh Cadwyn Scott, he wears the black and white,
Number 19, with pace and might,
Scored some goals, he's quite a sight,
Oh Cadwyn Scott, he's dynamite!
From left to right, he'll run all night,
Defenders shake with fright,
He'll score a goal with all his might,
Oh Cadwyn Scott, what a sight!
Notts County's number 19,
He's in his prime, a goal-scoring machine,
With his skill and football mind,
Oh Cadwyn Scott, you're one of a kind!
To the tune of "La Bamba":
Roberto Chicksen, he's our left-back star,
Runs down the wing, he's faster than a car,
With his left foot, he hits it hard,
Roberto Chicksen, our superstar!
He's got the skills, he's got the pace,
He's always first to win the race,
When he takes a free-kick, watch it soar,
Roberto Chicksen, we want more!
In the black and white, he's a sight to see,
Defenders quake, when he's running free,
He's got the moves, he's got the flair,
Roberto Chicksen, we'll always be there!
So come on County, give us a show,
With Roberto Chicksen, we'll never say no,
From the back to the front, he'll take us far,
Roberto Chicksen, our superstar!
To the tune of "Guantanamera":
Luke Williams, he's the man in charge,
Leading Notts County, oh so large,
With his tactics, he'll take us far,
Luke Williams, our shining star!
He knows the game, he knows it well,
With his team, he'll always excel,
We'll sing his name, with pride we tell,
Luke Williams, he'll lead us well!
From the dugout, he'll guide our play,
To victory, he'll show the way,
With his passion, he'll light the flame,
Luke Williams, he's why we came!
So let's cheer on, with all our might,
For Notts County, we'll fight and fight,
With Luke Williams, we'll reach new heights,
Notts County, we're black and white!

I observed this image that was shared on the Pride of Nottingham Facebook page by a Notts fan. Even though the result cannot be altered, the picture communicates a lot and can be a topic of discussion. Do you believe that if the penalty was taken again? Could have made a difference in the long term? Alternatively, do you think that a tie was still inadequate?
Image shared by Luke James on Facebook.
Luke's comment: "The linesman is meant to stand and look along the line. Maybe he forgot what his job was?"
My personal view is that the referee made a good decision by awarding the penalty. However, Wrexham fans believe they should have had two penalties themselves. Firstly, there was the slightest touch by Kyle Cameron on Paul Mullin, and then Sam Slocombe's supposed trip where again Paul Mullin ran into him clearly outside the box but decided to throw himself to the ground in our penalty box.
However, judging by this picture, the referee failed to notice that Ben Foster was off his line. The assistant official should have been watching Foster more closely. In the World Cup and Premier League, penalties with off-the-line keepers are often retaken, with keepers sometimes being issued a yellow card.
The outcome of the Wrexham game cannot be changed, but it is disappointing that we will never know if a draw could have affected the title race or if Notts could have gone on to score a fourth. My final point is that officials need to ensure that keepers stay on the line. FIFA is introducing stricter rules where keepers cannot jump up or distract the penalty taker, etc. It should be something the National League strives to improve on.

The sudden passing of Notts County's chief executive, Jason Turner, at the age of 50, has had a significant impact on the club. Turner had been in the role since March 2016 and had devoted himself to the club. He was described as an outstanding CEO who was respected across football.
What kind of legacy has Jason Turner left behind at Notts County? Turner, who had been the club's chief executive since March 2016, dedicated himself to Notts County. His unexpected death has undoubtedly affected the club greatly.It is worth exploring the impact he had on the club during his tenure. What kind of changes did he bring to the club, and how did he leave his mark? Did he set the club on a path to success, or was his legacy more about the culture and values he instilled in the club? How will Notts County continue to honour his memory and his contributions to the club moving forward?
Below is the memorial post, for comments and rest in peace messages.

I am absolutely thrilled to hear that Luke Williams and Macaulay Langstaff have scooped the Vanarama National League monthly awards for March.
Williams has been a fantastic manager for Notts County, leading the team to victory time and time again. His tactical brilliance and ability to motivate the players have been key to our success.
Langstaff, on the other hand, has been an absolute powerhouse on the pitch. His incredible skill and ability to score goals have made him a fan favourite. It’s no surprise that he has won awards for his performances; he truly deserves it.
I am so proud of both Williams and Langstaff for their achievements. They have worked hard, and it’s great to see them being recognised for their efforts. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Notts County with these two at the helm.
What do you think about Williams and Langstaff winning these awards? Do you think they deserved it? How do you think this will impact Notts County’s performance in the upcoming game this weekend against Woking?

1 hour ago, 4everapie said:They only won because as per usual through poor defending, Bajrami isn't a defender. Ruben shouldn't have started he obviously still wasn't well. When we get promoted we'll need better defenders.
its not just bajrami, the back 3 had no awareness together. cameron plays to far up, the wing back did not protect them enough. bajrami was bad, but so was rawlinson. i dont think those 3 work together, baldwin has more pace and is more switched one.
very disconnected at the back, but its things to learn from isn't it?
now is the time to work on those in order to improve in time for the playoffs.

Indeed
Whoa, Notts really gave us a run for our money with that opening goal. I had to do a double-take to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. But seriously, Notts put up a good fight in a tough game. It wasn’t easy for us, especially with the way you guys played. And if Bostock had smashed that net in the second half instead of the first? Game over, man. But hey, don’t get too down, County fans. You’ve still got a shot at promotion this season. Best of luck!
Fun fact: it's called "Good" Friday because there's always a PON prediction league round on this day. Here's this year's. Send 'em in by 3pm on Friday, remember your jokers and good luck!

I have had to invest a lot of time fixing my home to the standard I like and have neglected to check in on PON.
I am back after a fairly lengthy break.
Hope to pick up where I left. What has everyone been up to? Anything new to report?
