It’s good to hear that Platt and Abbott are close to returning, as we’ve needed that extra depth. Crowley’s progress is also encouraging, his creativity is crucial to our attack. Injuries and a packed schedule haven’t made things easy, but this squad has the quality to turn it around. If the fans keep creating that incredible Meadow Lane atmosphere, I think we’ll rise to the occasion.

It’s disappointing when you have 76% of the ball but still end up losing. We created plenty, but didn’t take our chances. Walsall’s finishing was clinical, and that’s what won them the game. Still, plenty to build on. Let's look ahead to Colchester.

Neil Warnock will forever be a hero in my eyes. What he achieved with us, the promotions, the sense of unity, and the fighting spirit, will never be forgotten. I’ll always remember those moments of pride you gave us, Neil. Wishing you the happiest of birthdays!

George Abbott was outstanding! His energy and skill on the ball were unmatched throughout the game.

The updates on Jodi Jones and the other injured players are encouraging, but I’m glad Maynard isn’t rushing anyone back. It’s smart to focus on long-term fitness. His mention of practising penalties stood out, it shows he’s preparing for all scenarios. Notts will have to defend bravely and make sure they protect Bass to the best of their ability.

The magic of the FA Cup is alive, and this is the type of fixture that could remind us why. Peterborough will be a tough nut to crack, no doubt, but we’ve shown all season that we can rise to a challenge. For me, this game comes down to who controls the midfield Abbott and Palmer have been superb and will need to dictate play. I’d also like to see us press them high; force mistakes and don’t let them settle. If we stay positive and disciplined, there’s every chance of pulling off an upset. Let’s pack out the away end and back the lads to the hilt!

McGoldrick’s influence on this team goes far beyond what we see on the pitch. His leadership qualities are evident in how the lads rally around him, especially in tough games. We’ve seen him score some beauties, but what’s underrated is his hold-up play and ability to create chances for others. He doesn’t seem fazed by the physicality of League Two either, which is remarkable given how much football he’s played over the years. I reckon he’s the kind of player who could play at a decent level well into his late 30s. If he keeps turning up with match-winning performances, there’s no reason we can’t dream of promotion. He’s definitely still got plenty to offer.

Great to see the academy getting this far in the FA Youth Cup! The hard work put in by the players and coaches is obvious, and the stories from the earlier rounds show the character of this team. Facing Fulham is going to be a tough challenge, but it’s also a chance to show what they can do against top opposition. I’m looking forward to seeing how they handle themselves on the day and hope the fans turn out in numbers. It’s always exciting to see youth players develop and represent the club with pride.

Let’s be honest, would any bona fide fan be thrilled with this? It’s disappointing to see a familiar yet underwhelming approach. I’d much rather see a new, talented youngster get their chance to shine. Fresh faces bring excitement, energy, and a sense of hope for the future. It’s what keeps the spirit of the game alive and the fans engaged. Giving young players an opportunity can lead to unexpected successes and make the team more dynamic.

The discussion on squad depth and summer recruitment really stood out to me. It's clear the club is working hard to balance finances while keeping the team competitive. The focus on impactful loan players is smart, especially given the injury challenges we've faced. I also liked hearing about the potential for international scouting, exploring untapped markets could be a game-changer for Notts.

This event is exactly what fans need! Martin Allen has always been an open and honest personality in football, and his time at Notts County, though brief, was unforgettable. The live podcast format with a Q&A is such a great way to engage with the fans, and I can already imagine the amazing stories he’ll share from his playing and managerial days. £10 is a fair price for an evening like this, and the Big Shed at Trent Navigation sounds like the perfect venue. I’ll be telling all my mates about this, the more, the merrier!

That was a hard-fought point! The first half wasn’t great, but we definitely improved in the second. I liked how Maynard stayed calm and made the right changes, especially bringing on Brown. It’s great to see we’ve got options on the bench that can make a difference. McGoldrick was solid as ever with that penalty, never seems to get rattled, does he? Tsaroulla impressed me too with his work rate. The away form isn’t bad, but we need to stop conceding early. I’m sure Maynard’s working on it!

A point from this match seems fair, even though I think we could’ve done more to win it. Barrow started well and took the lead, and for a while, it seemed like we couldn’t break them down. They defended deep and made it tough for us to find space. That being said, I thought we came out much stronger in the second half. Crowley, as always, was at the heart of our best moments, and once we got the equaliser, there was a real push for a winner. It’s a bit frustrating not to take all three points, but credit to the team for not giving up. We’ll take the draw and move forward.
