Well done to Jodi Jones, it was well deserved. Mistakes happen, but whoever gets voted for clearly deserves it.

Wallaby spotting in Notts?
Kangaroos can be dangerous, but what about wallabies? They look harmless, but I’m curious if they can kick. I wonder how they got here. They were probably released by someone, but it seems strange.

Match Discussion: Game 9 - The Blues (A)
It was a very long journey, but I’m glad I could go, even though it was a school night. The 2-0 win was really good. I slept on the way home and dreamed about the goals we scored. Jatta’s first goal was really classy, the way he controlled it and finished.

This Annoys Me About Notts
Yeah, my dad has the 150th anniversary white shirt. It’s a very simple design and could have looked better if it was more retro. I’m not a fan of shirts made just to make money, it’s not the right way to treat your supporters. If you’re going to do a special shirt, it should be good quality and up to the mark. I don’t mind Notts having the away shirt, but I don’t understand why the club sold the purple one as a limited edition and didn’t give season ticket holders a chance to get one before it went on general sale.

Match Discussion: Game 10 - The Valiants (H)
I hope we can keep up our form. It would be great to get back to winning ways at Meadow Lane, but Port Vale are one of the strongest teams we’ve faced. We’ll need everyone to give their best to get a result.

Yes, Alex Bass! I am pleased that votes were spread across the options, even though Bass emerged as the clear winner. It shows how others see things differently. I am impressed with his performance.

Who's Your Notts Man of the Match v Carlisle?
Bass was outstanding again, especially towards the end. Kept us in the game when Carlisle started pressing. Easy choice.

Notts County’s Jodi Jones Declares: ‘I’ll Be Back Stronger’ After Tibia Fracture
I found it shocking that the referee didn't even stop the match. I understand why we carried on, and I'm sure Jodi wanted that, but the referee has a duty of care, and he completely ignored what was clearly a serious injury. I'm glad Jodi is staying positive and focused on coming back, though he must be feeling down about it.

Match Discussion: Game 8 - The Shrimps (A)
Morecambe’s defence was incredibly tight, making it difficult for Notts to create opportunities. They performed admirably at the back, but I believe we could have challenged them more. Overall, it was a solid draw, and we need to focus on the positives. Turning what seemed like an impending defeat into a draw was a commendable effort. I’m pleased we managed to secure that late goal, which shows our resilience. Let’s take this result in stride and build on the positives moving forward.

Match Preview: Morecambe FC Seek Redemption as Notts County Push for Promotion
Good preview. Morecambe played very similar to what was suggested. They made Notts work for chances and defensively they did well. But I thought we should have troubled them more.

Jacob Bedeau: 'Facing My Former Club Is Special, but Notts County Come First!'
I really like Jacob Bedeau. I think he’s a very classy defender and works very well with Matty Platt. I like what he said in this article. His words show how Notts has transformed itself.

Who is your Notts man of the match v Morecambe?
David McGoldrick gets my vote for his work rate and effort throughout the 90 minutes. He put pride into his performance and deserves my vote.

Notts County Sign Ex-Norwich Winger Josh Martin on Short-Term Deal
He looks like a good signing. It might have been him who asked for the short-term deal to keep his options open, but I hope if he does well, we extend his stay.

Jacob Bedeau Reflects on Time at Morecambe and Looks Ahead to Notts County's Promotion Push
He’s already been a great player, so calm, and the way he passes the ball to others, like David McGoldrick, is exciting to watch. It’s nice to hear his thoughts on Morecambe, but the focus is on us getting the win.

We must believe in and support the lads. Although we all want promotion, every match will be a challenge, but a strong start is crucial.

Weekly Chat 23rd to 29th September.
Halfway through another week, I haven’t had much free time, but it’s important to focus on my homework. There’s not much to say, though the rain has been pouring at times. It’s starting to feel more like winter now.

Notts County's Youngest Ever Player: Kameron Muir Breaks 25-Year-Old Record
With the injury worries we have, I hope this performance gives a chance to some of the youngsters like Riley Reynolds. It’s great that Kameron Muir came on as the youngest player, but I hope it means more of our homegrown talent will get chances in league games in the future.

Mark Stallard Reflects on Missed Opportunities in Notts County’s 1-0 Defeat to Gillingham
I agree with Stall, but we should also remember that we're one of the league's top teams for scoring, and the players who had good chances aren't strikers. Misses happen, unfortunately, we weren't able to overcome the poor officiating, but the players performed well.

Poll: Who is your Notts Man of the match v Gillingham?
It’s tough for defenders to get the credit they deserve sometimes, but Jacob Bedeau definitely deserves my vote. He’s been brilliant and has played well all season so far.
