  • At the start of the match, Sam Austin and Jodi Jones looked energised. Together with Aaron Nemane, they covered a lot of ground that Ruben Rodrigues would usually have covered. Despite being short on players, we still managed to secure a convincing win. It was a good call by Luke Williams to rest Ruben. Some comments before the game suggested that we would lose because of this decision. However, it's evident that those doubters were wrong. It was common sense that Ruben had limped off in the previous match and needed rest before the Wrexham game. It didn't appear to be a serious injury that would keep him out of a match.

    The current season has been truly remarkable. It never crossed my mind that Notts would have another opportunity to reach the top of the league following the defeat against Dagenham & Redbridge. It's a testament to just how outstanding this season has been, don't you think?

    The execution of each goal was exceptional. I concur with the sentiments expressed by others before me that we could have easily scored three goals before half time and many more opportunities throughout the match.

    I couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards Wealdstone. I don't believe they would have been as clumsy or played as poorly against other typical teams. It's just a reflection of the high level of proficiency among the teams in this league. However, given their current position, it's clear that the club is doing something right, and I must commend their goalkeeper for an excellent performance.

    Reportedly, Notts had 63.55% possession overall, with only 6.38 average shots on target. However, I perceived that Notts created several exceptional opportunities, and from what I can recall, the final score could have easily been around 5-0. It was a delight to see Richard Brindley return to the side. Although he didn't engage in the attacks as much, he proved to be dependable when called upon. The return of Brindley and Cadwyn Scott came at an opportune time, and they were both sorely missed from the line-up. If Luke Williams can make astute decisions, he might not have to worry about the playoffs. Nevertheless, I hope that we can avoid such a roll of the dice for our own sake, although I had believed that we had done so previously!

  • I really enjoyed the game, we smashed Scunthorpe United but the way they played kinda ruined the victory for me. They were proper rubbish, like it almost spoiled the game. If it wasn't for some sick moves from Ruben, Langstaff, Austin, O'Brien, and Palmer, I reckon it would've been dead boring. I know it might sound controversial, but I don't like games where it's totally one-sided, and that's exactly what this was. I'm stoked that we won though, especially with Langstaff getting a couple of goals. The team was sick, but it's just a shame that Scunthorpe didn't put up more of a fight.

    I thought the entire squad played well, given what they were up against. You can only beat the team in front of you, and Notts did it in style. I think Jim silenced his critics with his performance, even though Scunthorpe were poor, he showed his class and helped drive Notts forward. 4-0 flattered Scunthorpe United, as Notts could have easily scored several more goals. Their keeper, who they brought in on loan a few hours before the game, was very weak. His kicking was hilarious!

 

Moral, don't tie your laces to then play people onside ????

  • Alty were always going to pose more of a challenge than on Saturday, and they did give us some nervous moments at the back. We rode our luck a couple of times but were comfortably in control in the second half and the win never looked in doubt. Great penalty save by Mair, funnily enough I always thought he was going to save it - it wasn't badly taken but it was the perfect height for the keeper to reach. Great stuff.

    Now we have a Saturday off ahead of Wealdstone. Then we cross our fingers that Oldham can maybe nick something from the Welsh team before our showdown at Easter.

    Notts managed to come away with a win, one way or another. While there may be some controversy surrounding the first goal, there's no denying that their player clearly lifted their arm up for the second goal. It's not acceptable to jump like that at any level of the game, and while some may argue that the decision was harsh, it was well within the rules.

    Getting three points and a clean sheet is a huge positive for the team, and I think it's a real testament to their hard work and dedication. All in all, it's a great result for Notts County.

    What a brilliant professional performance by Notts. It's hard to believe that we have amassed 97 points, which would have secured us the league title by this stage in almost every other season. This season has been completely bonkers. It's even more insane when you consider that we need Wrexham to suffer two more losses than us to obtain the reward that we truly deserve.

i dont spend as much of my free time on social media, with me working from 8am to 5:30pm and sometimes into late shifts i took a step back from twitter and facebook. i have never really liked twitter that much, its a place where people get hot headed easily and usually over silly stuff. like god forbid someone has a different opinion than yours.

i prefer facebook always have, i wished i had more time to keep updated with @super_ram, @magpiejue and some of the other friends from here.

do you spend much time online? does social media have an impact on your life?

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.

What are your thoughts on Adam Chicksen's impressive performance and impact for Notts County this season? From almost leaving the club to becoming an essential player, how do you think he has improved and contributed to the team's success?

Share your thoughts on how Adam Chicksen has been instrumental in Notts County's success this season and don't forget to check out the Pride of Nottingham article on his impressive form!

With all these strange internationals going on, it's a relief that proper football is happening too. Send in your predictions by 3pm on Saturday please, and remember those jokers!

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.
