While I don’t believe Alfreton performed exceptionally well, I wouldn’t describe them as “poor”. I believe the quality displayed by Notts made it challenging for them. Alfreton could have been more adept with the ball, but it was evident that the training Notts had undergone paid off. We pressed and were eager to regain possession, and the team delivered a fantastic performance. Macaulay Langstaff seemed likely to score given our direct passes to him, and David McGoldrick’s outstanding effort was a joy to behold.

The game was very good. Notts played in such a way that they struggled, and credit to Alfreton, they acknowledged how good of a team we were. I don’t think they had much chance to get going because we wanted the ball so much. It’s difficult to defend, and what made it worse for Alfreton is that we fielded such a strong squad with the intention of giving them longer in the game.
The performance of Notts was one of determination, but I wouldn’t criticise Alfreton too much. We are two levels above them and played direct football against the best of the National League, which other teams in the same league struggled with. Alfreton have made a fair few signings, so I would take more note of how Notts played.
In your opinion, which of these young scholars do you think possesses the most promising potential to succeed in Notts and make a name for themselves in the world of football? Are there any particular qualities or achievements that stand out to you, or any specific examples of their work that you find particularly impressive?
Let’s have a lively and engaging discussion about the future of our youth scholars and the potential they hold for making significant impact in football.

On Saturday Notts travel to Shrewsbury for a pre season friendly. How many links can we find between the two clubs, players, managers etc.
Here’s one to start Arthur Mann he played for Notts between 1972-1979 making 253 appearances and scoring 21 goals, in 1979 he moved to Shrewsbury and made 8 appearances scoring 1 goal.
How many more can we find?

the 72 are at it again, however, rather than purely making them up as they go along. the 'realistically' emphasis is solely going on players frequently mentioned by notts fans. ????
jesse debrah and sam pearson are the players.

Good morning everyone, I hope we are all well and looking forward to the weekend. I guess schools and colleges will be breaking up for the summer and those of you that work will be looking forward to a weekend off. Let us know what plans you have this weekend or if you’re reading this late what have you been doing?
Today we are driving home after our week away in Sewerby Yorkshire, we’ve had a great time and managed to dodge most of the showers. We are looking forward to getting back to see family and grandchildren this weekend.
What are your plans?

I wasn’t at the match, but it seems like Boston heavily marked our players to the point where three or so of them were going in to clear the ball away from us. Domination is a good thing, even if we only won by one goal. It’s another valuable insight ahead of the upcoming season.
I wasn't at the game either, but listening to Lukes post match talk I gathered they parked the bus as per Yeovil.
Having a run out to Alfreton tonight. COYP.
Boston sounded like a very good test. It deserves credit to shut out a team that plays good football, and it says a lot about both teams. Winning 1-0 isn’t a bad thing at all. The fact that we managed to score is the positive part, along with the relentless pushing for the scoring opportunity. It could have easily led to frustration and a lapse in concentration, resulting in them having fewer chances on goal but claiming the win.

I felt disappointed yesterday with all the moans and groans. I have watched Notts for many years and have seen all the bad times: the foundation of Lifeline, which gave the club much-needed support, many relegations, and all the hassle from the last two ownerships. I don’t know why some people feel the need to be vocally disconcerting and get on the players’ backs over a pre-season friendly. It would be nice to have just one season where these fans kept quiet. There is no need for it. Why direct disrespectful comments to some of the younger squad members? They may have made mistakes, but they will learn. Will these fans be there the next time something happens where a bit of support is required?
