I agree, but I do think Martin Paterson will play some of the players who need match fitness. I hope whoever gets a start proves that they have earned it.

just dont push yourself to much and listen to your body, i am sure you will do a great job mate.

I did somewhat overdo it, but I think the heat was the biggest factor, as I slept most of the time when I returned. Not because I wanted to sleep, but because my body forced me to shut down. I did manage to snap quite a few pictures, which I enjoyed.

we as a community have worked hard for the progress, but you have worked much harder and have showed a lot of dedication to notts mate.

i am glad numbers are lifting, its good to see.

Let’s keep building on it, that’s got to be the aim. There will be quiet days, and the gaffer might be tied up, but as a community, there are still things we can do to keep the site moving.

It’s brilliant to see 80 members online! I think that’s the most I’ve ever seen.

Just amazing and brilliant to see, no better content out there in terms of fan written or Notts related discussions. I am delighted with the progress PON is making.

Among all the unhappy comments I heard leaving the Rodney Parade Stadium, I felt happy and encouraged by the performance. The first half was a real joy to watch, something I think Martin Paterson should be able to get out more as the squad's fitness level increases.

Being a passenger, it's easy for me to say this, but it was a very routine trip. We did see an electric car ablaze on the way. Yet, we experienced no issues, and I hope it was the same for all the Notts community that attended.

I will be there too. I wasn't sure I would be, but my friend and his partner are now able to make it.

Ash, away days can be incredibly enjoyable! Safe travels to you, and I hope that you enjoy the day. It will be great to see our travelling supporters leave Newport happy. 🤞🏻

@Ash, i will be there with @TheSkipper. enjoy the game and i hope you come back happy with the performance and enjoyed the away day.

They're putting on quite the show just for you! Have you had any thunder and lightning where you are? It’s been really loud over here, plenty of rumbles and flashes.

@CliftonMagpie we've had a few distant rumbles but nothing overhead, although we’ve had quite heavy rain.

You're either really jammy or just plain lucky, Tone. Not sure which it is, but its one or the other.

Hope you and your wife enjoyed yourselves, Tony. It'll be nice to see you on the site a bit more, at least until you head off again. Got anything lined up?

@True Magpie Nothing definite until October when we are off on a cruise. We might slip some late availability breaks in between now and then. 👍

The win over Port Vale was only a friendly, so I wouldn’t read too much into it. Still, it’s a positive sign. For those who think we’re a long way off other League Two sides, it might help them see we’re able to hold our own. I’m confident we’ll do just fine once the players settle and get going.
