  1. looks a good signing, i have already seen some fans complain and speculate that someone will be off but maybe we are freeing up one of our wing backs to play further forward? the shape could be changing. i am not against loans when they are quality, so i dont get the "owners dont want to spend" comments on the squad or that its another cheap option. i dont know much about him but i have seen comments from people wishing him well which makes me more confident.
  2. it will be nice getting out back to watching notts, i hope to see some glimpses of early signs of the new signings. i am hoping that matthew dennis can show case his ability, it would also be nice if jodi jones has managed to refind his confidence. last season was difficult with the injuries but hes such a class player. we need to get that drive back out of him, but it might take time. friendlies would be a good way to encourage it.
  3. hello, @MejustMike. welcome to pon. i hope you enjoy our community and the site.
  4. hello, @MikeWood. welcome to pride of nottingham.
  5. their family must be devastated, such an awful accident where two brothers lost their lives. i am pleased the media have been reporting on the passing, rather than doing the speculation and rumour spreading that they can do with such tragic events. rest in peace to jota and his brother. πŸ™
  6. its not a journey i feel comfortable making by myself, but i would have liked it. with there being three games, i wished i had time to better plan and sort the time so work was not an issue. maybe in the future @TheSkipper?
  7. i dont care, it could be either but you just hope whatever it was it was not out of spite or pettiness. as professional clubs that is not the way to be acting and it would be disappointing from either perspective. if it was cancelled because the date no longer worked, i would hope it was something more like that but honestly it changes nothing. i am more interested about this mystery game we have behind closed doors. it makes me wonder if we actually do have a game. club wants to be private, no time, no location. that is the real mystery!
  8. busy day today, with a lot of incoming and a lot of exporting jobs to be done. people think that machinery makes life easier in this kind of job, and it does but you have to have your smarts. some days its like a jigsaw or one of them picture puzzles where you have to slide the correct tiles into the right position to reveal what it is. if we dont do this carefully, it can cause more work in the weeks to come, and i really do hate moving big pallets multiple times because someone has taken a corner. the day has been nice, i had a walk from the city centre to the embankment and along there. finding a bench to sit down and eating something i picked up from a chip shop. i dont think i could have eaten something warm inside, despite it feeling cooler.
  9. i know how you dont like to single people out @Chris, so @Michael D Pie. must have earned it. its nice to know that there people who care and can help in various ways. the cost involved in running the site i know has been difficult at times, but just look at the difference subscribers are making. when i see you in person, i will donate and i will do it throughout the season. @CliftonMagpie and @TheSkipper have mentioned to me about us doing it together. πŸ‘ thank you @Michael D Pie. and every other subscriber of the site. pon has come along way since the upgrade, its great to see.
  10. its a good job its man city, because united would not have scored i bet. 🀣
  11. i am glad that alex bass put out the message, i know its a small thing and some fans will be salty but there is no need to be bitter. he deserved the move, even after just a single season and the cash could be reinvested in gaining us promotion. i wish him well at peterborough, it would be nice to see them gain promotion to the championshop and have him as their number one. supposedly he would have signed if we gain promotion but he did not want to be stuck in league two. its quite the drop, but had we known alex bass was on the radar of peterborough united we might have been able to tempt him. then again, he might not have liked not getting the chance to start, with the game bass missed and sam slocombe started it might have made him wonder why he signed.
  12. best of luck to him, and thank you for the work he put into the academy. i do wish him well.
  13. i hope he gets a chance to restart, i dont doubt that hes a good coach but professional football is hard and even harsher when you arrive at a club who cant maintain the togetherness that could have made the difference. i think had not more fans turned, he might have been given longer and i think that a lot after afc wimbledon beat us at their ground was vocal on the clubs socials it made it hard. he deserves another go, i hope he finds a national league team that he can rebuild and maybe earn promotion with. the main things is to learn about his management in games. the statement from him is nothing i would not expect from a level headed person.
  14. i love your blog series @allardyces tash, the way you joke about things is enduring and make a difference from reading someone just complaining for the sake of it. its also enjoyable the thought you put into the accompanying poll. with regards to what you write, i largely agree with you and want to see how things turn out. as for the poll, i think we need depth for the injuries, but obviously a keeper is the highest priority now. would prefer a long term replacement for alex bass, but i am not against a loan if that move is not open provided the incoming keeper is good.
  15. i think we have to make the most of the good players we have and track replacements a little more, or at least potential players that could fit in if we needed to sell a player. i think what is not helping us right now is that the quality in does not match the quality going out on paper and by the club suggesting that we are aiming for promotion that brings expectations even if some are unrealistic or unhealthy. now we have sold bass, i hope we can bring in some players who are not free agents and fill the squad with a bit more quality that can help us feel a little more confident about promotion.
