JIMBO

It’s a smart decision for Jordan Richards to take this opportunity to get his career back on track and attract the attention of league teams. Best of luck to him.

What a kind act it was for Maddisson to give Jodi his shirt. It was truly a heartwarming moment to witness.

Yes, welcome to PON @rhodship66.

It’s Jodi Jones fever right now. I’m pleased he’s been called up and excited that he may play against England tomorrow. Give him your backing, everyone!

I started working on a JODI display picture, but I’m happy sticking with JIMBO. I don’t think Jim gets the praise he deserves; he’s always the one giving it out.

All perfectly fine and agreeable comments. I, for one, would like to see Notts show real ambition towards making a return to League One this season. If it doesn’t happen, so be it, but we have been in the National League for 4 years, and I feel a route to promotion again would only benefit the club. After that, we can focus on stability.

Having Jim sign a new one-year deal is best for both parties. I think he offers a lot on the pitch and still has the ability.

McGoldrick’s decision to join Notts County is a sign that the club is heading in the right direction under Luke Williams. Compared to previous seasons when we were in League Two, things seem different.

Once settled in, Big Dave should be able to prove himself. He scored some good goals for Derby and shone in one of their weakest teams for years despite their hands being tied. I think McGoldrick joining our squad would be similar, but with more confidence and ability behind us.

This is like talking to my neighbour Frank. He could have written all that in two tweets, keeping the same sentiment as his message but saving everyone from reading the waffling parts.

Good luck to Dion Kelly-Evans. I hope he finds a club that will play him. It would be interesting to see what would happen if Gateshead or Bromley expressed interest.

I thought it was a good read, from an interesting blog.

I am pleased with the signing of McGoldrick. He brings a wealth of experience, quality and passion to the team. I believe he will make a significant impact for us this season and help us achieve our goals. His addition to the squad is a positive development and I am looking forward to seeing him in action.

I agree with @menzinho. I don’t think we will lose our captain and certainly not to Stockport County. Jim O’Brien will almost certainly sign a new deal. Rumours say he’s been travelling to Ireland and Scotland to spend time with his family. I think Aaron Nemane owes us nothing and will see any real interest as a temptation. He deserves a chance to play at a higher level. Likewise with Ruben Rodrigues, you can almost certainly feel it’s slowly happening.

Scott Arfield? At what point did he play for Rangers? If he had a few seasons in the Scottish top flight, he could be interesting.

Welcome, @MagpieLane. There's plenty to do here and the articles are top notch, excellently written!

A grown adult? I really hope he doesn’t have any children because it’s a pretty stupid and childish thing to do. Unless he’s lying that it was done for a bet.

Jack Grealish was always going to be a star. I am surprised people are still going on about it. When he established himself in Villa’s team it happened, when they went up via the Championship it happened. When he had a good season with Villa and got called up to England, it happened. When he joined Manchester City it happened. It’s quite boring now.

Welcome! @Sirrels County. It's good to see you joining in on PON.

Welcome! @calw_111, good to see you on PON.

I think Jodi Jones would be playing with Coventry if it were not for his problems in the injury department; they must have found it difficult to release him. Oxford United might not fit his playing style; you have to be a good ball-playing team to get the most out of someone like Jodi. He is one of those players who puts their soul into playing, especially when fans sing his name. He has a very good talent and will be someone we need to protect and use well when adapting to League Two.

Some players develop later in their careers - it’s not always a clear-cut path. Others may struggle with adapting to the responsibilities of being a professional footballer. When things are going well, it’s easier to stay in control, but when times get tough, it doesn’t always work out on your first, second or even third attempt.

I am not bothered about how the results go; I will be firmly focused on how we perform and even then it’s about getting fitness. It would be a positive thing if Notts can gain some confidence from these games and our promotion; it could be off to the races.

Good coach, but I think he's flawed somewhat as a manager. Everyone has their opinion, but I think a good manager knows you can't concede too many goals.

We still need to cut out the errors, such as failing to defend a lead or dominating a game, to be pegged back by a goal before we even score. The high press is more a means to control the game, the defenders need to stay switched on. I think we leave too few back, the system of an extra body in midfield is fine but on the counter or against set pieces it will be exposed unless you have 3 alert centre backs.
