An encouraging display of resilience and teamwork. Hopefully, we'll find the net next time, lads.

Really impressive progress, let's aim for 6000 next!

Loved Doyle's work at Notts! Best wishes to him at Portsmouth.

While it's usual for us to discuss the tactics and performances of teams, it is genuinely warming to see an act of goodwill from one club to another. Stoke City's initiative has added a fresh dimension to football, illuminating the human side of the sport.

What I find impressive about Williams' approach is his ability to maintain a balanced view. He recognises the promising elements and performances but avoids prioritising the results over progress. This highlights how this mentality could potentially carry the team through the rest of the season well.

It's reassuring to know that Williams is being proactive in avoiding any negative impact on the team spirit. Having unhappy or frustrated players can indeed lead to a drop in morale and also impact overall performance.

One name that I know played for both clubs, as I remember reading the news of when he joined on loan is Chris Iwelumo.

Frank Vincent seemed like a real character who enjoyed playing his football. Good luck to him at Dagenham & Redbridge.

All good things come to those who wait; that’s what I have been told many times in my lifetime. It’s good that Aaron Nemane has decided to stay, and even better that we should get two more seasons out of him.

I don’t think he’s the CEO coming in. It wouldn’t sit well to quit a job stating you had other focuses, only to join a rival club. It comes across as quite disrespectful and lacking morals, so I think it’s unlikely.

Welcome to PON @BigTom91, I do hope you continue to join in with us. One of the best things about this site is the fact people actually talk and make you feel welcome.

Yes, good luck to him. I can’t comment on how he performed, but any player who puts in effort and tries will get my well-wishes, even if they are not the best.

I completely agree with @Sirrels County that the home kit should reflect the traditional feel from the 1991/92 season. That was a memorable season for us, and it would be great to see a modern twist on that design. I am also in favour of wider stripes as many others have mentioned, I think it gives the kit a more classic and nostalgic touch.

It makes you wonder if something has happened behind the scenes. Solihull seems disappointed and shocked at his departure. There could be more going on; I hope all is well with Neal Ardley.

I can’t say I have heard the name, but he’s young for a goalkeeper, so let’s see what he can do.

Nigel's story really highlights the dedication and loyalty some fans have for their clubs, and it's inspiring to see.

Excellent write-up, @Magpie Bill. It has been quite the journey and this is a perfect summary of the club’s time in the National League.

I have been reading up on Dan Crowley and he sounds like a magnificent signing for Notts. He seems to have found his element at Morecambe and should progress nicely with Notts.

Ricardo Moniz never seems to know when to quit! I hope that this time he stays with the club for longer than he has with his past four teams that he has managed. He’s a good coach, but I’m not sure about his abilities as a manager.

Costa is my favourite coffee shop out of all of them. There used to be a small vendor in Nottingham City Centre that I really liked, but unfortunately it closed down during the first COVID lockdown.

The problem with Guy Branston is that he was never a particularly skilled football player himself, let alone capable of recruiting good players. He doesn’t seem to put in the necessary effort to determine whether a player had one good game or is consistently skilled.

I can’t believe that Nottingham Forest managed to survive in the Premier League. They were lucky to escape relegation, and they only did it because of some dubious refereeing decisions and some poor performances from their rivals. They are not a good team, and they will struggle again next season. I wish they had gone down, so one day we could have a chance to play them in the Championship and show them who’s the real boss of Nottingham.

I’m delighted that Jodi Jones has signed for Notts County permanently. He’s an outstanding player who can do it all on the wing: dribble, cross, shoot and score. He was brilliant during his loan spell and I’m sure he’ll continue to impress us. He’s a great fit for our club and our culture.

It would be great if we could follow in the footsteps of Luton and build a strong team. They had a few spells where it didn’t seem likely, but they persevered. Whatever Notts does, it will be special and unique to us. I hope we can retain some of this squad for that special journey. I especially hope that Jim O’Brien sticks around. Notts needs to get him on their books in terms of coaching.

Keeping Macaulay Langstaff in our team for our first season back in League Two is a must, despite interest from clubs above us. He would significantly bolster our squad. The club should demand a high selling price that reflects his worth and contribution to the team in hopes that its either met or rejected.
