I think we need to win games like yesterday’s to have a chance at promotion, but one result doesn’t ruin it. We just have to be realistic and see how the results go. All we can do is give our best and hope the wins come.

There’s not much I can say that I haven’t already mentioned in the article about Stuart Maynard’s thoughts. I think the positives are that we played well against a good side, created good chances, and still looked like the better team.

I thought Notts deserved to get something from the match. Stuart Maynard is right, we had chances, but it just wasn’t our day. I don’t want to complain about the officials, but they were poor.

It’s good news about the injuries. I’m still worried about Curtis Edwards, but at least we have some players coming back, maybe not for tomorrow, but in a few games' time. I also like how Stuart Maynard is coming across; he’s growing into the role.

We’ve been in good form, and I hope we can keep it up tomorrow. Gillingham seem similar to us, as they’ve had injuries but managed them well. I’m not sure if they have a big squad, but I feel we have a good chance against them.

I understand the worry about other teams being linked to him, but I don’t think we need to stress about his contract. Let him focus on his football, and when he’s ready, we’ll know what his decision is. Fans complaining that he hasn’t signed a new deal or saying he’s going to leave don’t have a clue.

It’s great to see. I’m glad we have players good enough and talented enough to make a team made up of players from all 72 clubs.

If that’s the case, I’d prefer an away game because I’ve always been too young to go to some of the bigger cup games we’ve had. Playing big teams at Meadow Lane is great, but it would only change my mind if it was a really big team.

It took him a bit of time to get up after he ran into the keeper, and it looked like he took a knock. It’s a shame because he’s been really good lately.

I don’t think so. I don’t think we’ll have another striker like Macaulay Langstaff. The moment we have someone who scores 18+ goals over two seasons, we’ll lose them, either by selling them or on a free transfer when their contract ends.

Gillingham always seem to think they’ll beat us, and they did last season. I think we made it easier for them at times. I hope if we stay strong in defence, they’ll find it harder, and we can play our usual game. I just want to see Notts work hard and try their best. Winning isn’t as important as the effort.

I think the trialists are sometimes just the club trying to see if they can bring in someone who might do well but plays for lower league teams. I also think we might do it to throw other clubs off the scent about who else we’re after.

It's been a long week, with homework every day, and if you don’t hand it in on time, you get detention, even the first time, with no exceptions. It’s frustrating because I don’t want to stay at school any longer. If you think the homework is strict, it’s worse if you don’t finish your classwork. You get a mark for not finishing, and the more you get in a week, which doesn’t reset until the end of the month, leads to detention. Every 10 marks adds 10 minutes to your time in detention. I hate it, but I’m glad to have a weekend free from it. Our headteacher has a nickname, but I won’t say what it is, it’s not Putin, though.

Yes, but it's a risk, and MK Dons is a better option. It would be strange, even if his family is based there. If he does well in his current role, he might move closer. Moving from a good opportunity to Carlisle doesn’t seem to make much sense.

It would be great to see this continue for as long as possible. Keeping the winning streak would be impressive, especially if Notts can get through a few more matches. However, staying unbeaten is just as important.

Welcome to PON, @Kate Kilgore.

So many good points have been made about the game. It’s interesting to see them because it shows how we all see the performance differently. The analysis @Piethagoram shared is especially interesting.

I just don’t think Notts are ready to make it work. If we think Millwall have treated Macca badly, then just imagine how poorly Notts have treated Junior Morias. It’s great to see him scoring, but Notts will probably sell him for less than what we paid for him.

I’d say he’s a bit more toned now and has some definition, whereas before he just looked like a typical footballer. I don’t think it’s that much, though.

The really annoying "fans" who are against Stuart Maynard will probably say it's still early days or only credit the squad. However, I think those who were unsure are now starting to come around, if they haven't already. I'm pleased for Maynard, he’s making the right decisions. Others have mentioned it before, but he’s learning professional football as he goes, and it’s good to see it paying off, especially when he could have easily been sacked.

Hello, @Pica. Welcome to the site and PON.

Happy belated birthday @ARLukomski! I'm sorry I missed it. I hope you had a good day at least. I'm really glad you've kept up with your YouTube channel, and I hope you're doing well too.

I would choose Dan Crowley because he was key to the game and assisted 2 of the 4 goals. But if I had to pick someone not on the list, I'd say Jatta because his goal was pure class!

We're better with Matt Palmer than without him. The stats from last season and before show how important he is, with more wins when he's in the squad than when he's out. I agree with Robbie that Stuart Maynard hasn't rushed Palmer back, which could've easily happened, but I do recognise that Notts are stronger in midfield now. It's great to see Matt Palmer playing over 70 minutes and starting!
