Jodi Jones: Notts County’s Versatile Playmaker on the Global Pitch
It’s an uncommon admission which shows his authenticity and deepen our appreciation for what these players go through. His unyielding spirit speaks volumes about his determination and his love for the game. Jones' confessing the tough part of his transition between roles at his club and national team is refreshingly honest.

Cheltenham manager departs
This sacking appears to be a desperate attempt to avoid relegation and the low attendance that comes with a losing streak. Do I agree with it? Absolutely not. It feels like they’re just throwing anything at the problem and hoping something sticks.

Jesse Debrah signs
While Jesse Debrah is a talented player, we need to move on from those we didn’t sign and concentrate on the players we have or can still acquire. There are plenty of skilled players available.

Exeter 0 Reading 9 EFL Trophy
Exeter doesn’t seem to take the EFL Trophy as seriously as we do. I wonder if there’s a random fan out there grumbling about their manager and his lack of interest in the competition. After a 9-0 loss, they’d have every reason to.

Through Thick and Thin: Adam Baker’s 30-Year Love for Notts County
What an impactful narrative! Adam embodies the resilient spirit of Notts fandom. I was particularly moved by his ability to seek solace in our beloved club during tough times. The emotional depth in his experiences resonates with fans like us, and it's stories like these that affirm why we love football and especially Notts County.

Match Discussion: Game 8 - The Ammies (A)
A strong performance against Salford would certainly lift spirits and keep Notts in a favourable position ahead of the weekend’s matches. The sound of Notts fans proclaiming our top-of-the-league status would indeed be priceless.

Fact of the day : Cup competitions
While the statistics may be intriguing, they can seem pointless and appear to be quoted arbitrarily. Luke Williams doesn’t intentionally set his team up for defeat; it’s just that most games have unfortunately been part of this farcical competition.

'Mum and Dad Probably Have It Recorded’: Kyle Cameron on Watching His Equalising Goal against MK Dons
This season is a thrilling ride, largely thanks to Kyle Cameron. His equalising goal against MK Dons was more than just a score; it showcased his skill, determination, and clutch performance. As the match neared its end, Kyle delivered a stunning goal. His parents must be replaying his fantastic goal with pride. For us Notts County fans, we relish these moments and anticipate more, reminding us of our love for the game.

Match Discussion: Game 7 - The Dons (A)
Defensively, at least for their goal, we were very poor. Yes, Connell Rawlinson should have gone with the ball, but who was covering otherwise? Aaron Nemane can’t be blamed, although perhaps he should have gotten back into a defensive position more quickly. I thought MK Dons did well to close the space behind the ball; we almost invited it and tempted fate on more than one occasion. Don’t misquote me; I think we played well, but the talking point of this game must be improving our focus on defending plays.

Oxford Mail article on Ruben
Yes, I agree. Oxford United fans need to lower their expectations and be patient because when Ruben does his magic, they will appreciate him as much as our fans did. They can’t expect a player who has been playing in the Non-League to suddenly start performing to the standard of their current squad; this type of thing always takes time.

Mansfield match live on Sky Sports
If I am not mistaken, this will be the first game of Notts that Sky has aired. I would have thought that the Grimsby or Tranmere Rovers match would have been appealing to them. However, it’s good to know that the Mansfield game will be live. It will be a good payday for the club.

Notts County Manager Luke Williams: ‘Nomination is a reflection of the entire team’s performance’
It's refreshing to see the humbleness in Williams' acceptance of this nomination. He hits the nail on the head when he says it's a reflection of the whole team's performance.

Luke Williams Highlights Importance of Home Victories and Fan Support
Reading about the signing of Macari has slightly changed my view on it. If he’s as competitive as Luke suggests, the team's dynamism will continue to soar!

Notts County a tough test for MK Dons, says manager Graham Alexander
All signs point to an intensely competitive match ahead. MK Dons look set to put up a serious challenge. Alexander’s acknowledgement of the consistency factor and the importance of clear decision-making is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. That’s the mark of a professional team, sticking to their guns and it seems like his team does just that. I hope Notts can prevail and come back with the point(s) needed.

Match Discussion: Game 7 - The Dons (A)
I would be content with a draw in this game away from home. The next couple of fixtures after this one should be areas where Notts could pick up more points and solidify their position at the top of the table. A win, however, would make me feel very happy and even prouder than I already am seeing us at the top of League Two. I am hopeful that Luke Williams will spring a few positive surprises which MK Dons might not be expecting and therefore won’t have planned for. Not that he needs to make any changes, mind you. His tactics have been working well so far and the team has been performing consistently. But a few surprises could give us the edge we need to secure a win and continue our momentum. Regardless of the outcome, I am confident that Notts will continue to perform well and make us proud.
