It’s going to be tough. I like the insight given by Liam into his club. Carlisle United are a good team but have issues. Greg Abbott, our former assistant manager, is there with them. I recall @Piethagoram mentioning that he works as a scout or something along those lines. I would hope the team that turns up can make it difficult for them, but both teams sound like they are still trying to get a grip of the performances so far this season. We are not yet 10 games in, so results could be hit and miss.

Some fans want to win every game, but that’s just not realistic. Some will just want to see a good performance, but football isn’t always like that. If Notts can win games, it will be because they deserved it and worked hard. Draws aren’t the end of the world. Losing is the worst scenario for a promotion-chasing team. The fact we avoided that speaks volumes. The next win should be big for returning the confidence and morale of the squad.

Sensible words by Jacob Bedeau; he speaks well and put in a good performance against his former club. I think he has a lot of growth potential, and defensively Notts should only improve more. Putting aside the poor goal we conceded, we defended well against them, largely thanks to Bedeau.

George Abbott played very well. I have voted for him.

This is the best decision for him and the club. Having Aidan Stone on our books but not playing is never going to do his confidence any good. It’s funny how Sam Slocombe was phased out last season, and now it’s his replacement.

I don’t understand the appointment myself. I think there are far more suitable managers for the national job of the United States, but I wish him well. It’s going to be hard for him.

I am spending today in Blackpool, then driving further to Morecambe tomorrow. I had planned to go as far as Fleetwood, but I thought I would have a better chance in Blackpool since it is bigger. It won’t be as far to travel tomorrow, and it will be nice to break up the journey, especially the trip home.

Morecambe might seem to be in a desperate situation, but I think their performance will be anything but that. I believe they will try to match up, make it hard for us to find space, and even if they park the bus, I would be wary of their counter-attacks

Since joining Notts, he’s slotted into the defence beautifully, helping to solidify our backline. It’s not just his defensive skills but also his ability to contribute offensively that adds another layer to our game. His positive outlook on our promotion chances is exactly what we need. This weekend’s match against Morecambe is more than just a game; it’s a chance for Jacob to showcase his growth. Really hope we see a standout performance from him

I am glad to see the focus has turned to the next fixture. The defeat is out of our hands, but it shouldn’t cause issues with the way we play. Restart a run and continue to work hard, focus on getting the results needed, and pray we don’t cross paths with these officials for some time. It’s frustrating and disappointing to lose in the way we did, but credit to the players.

It’s a concern, but Jodi Jones is always going to be tackled. It’s sad that he’s suffered an injury, but it’s part of the game, and all we can do is await news and hope he recovers well. Fans will worry because he’s such a good player and due to his past injuries.

Someone will have messed up the note or number given for the announcement. No way was there only 11k; it was a busy game, more than normal.

Stuart Maynard speaks well, considering how angry he must feel. It’s going to be a test to see how Jodi Jones is and when we can likely expect him back. It just means we have to be even more focused on achieving success this season. I don’t want to complain further about the officials; Maynard said how I feel.

Notts didn’t play badly. I thought we were the better team but just couldn’t score. When we did, it was ruled offside. As disappointing as that is, I think Dan Crowley was the Man of the Match. Alex Bass, Jacob Bedeau, Conor Grant, David McGoldrick, and Jodi Jones also did well and were close.

I'm enjoying the attacking football we’re playing this season. Stuart Maynard has really got the team clicking, and it’s paying off. The unpredictability in our play is catching opponents off guard, which is fantastic. Defensively, the improvements are noticeable too. We seem much more composed at the back, which is giving the players in front the freedom to express themselves. Gillingham will be a tough nut to crack, but I believe in the squad’s ability to rise to the challenge. Keep up the hard work, lads!

The oldies are very good, but Tomorrow Never Dies is my favourite. As for actors, I don’t mind most. It’s much easier to like those who played James Bond than it is these days to like those who play characters like Dr Who.

He’s not had the best start managing MK Dons, but they do have a much better squad. I could see them bringing in someone with more experience if he wanted to leave. Carlisle are very limited. I don’t see the attraction either, even though he might be northern based. You can wait years before being appointed to take charge of an ambitious squad. It wouldn’t look good on his CV to leave.

I wished that Junior Morias would be given a proper shot. But why would we loan out a player we wanted to keep, then bring in a player who can play the same position for the rest of the season? Both Morias and Kyle Cameron fit this “loan to release” system we seem to have adopted.

Good photo of them both. I wonder what they said? “This is no Meadow Lane, is it?”

t’s wonderful to see players like Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley thriving. Their performances against Bromley were nothing short of spectacular. Jones’ two-goal display and Crowley's influential strike underscored their importance to the team. The way they turned the game around showed not just skill but immense character. Stallard’s insights reflect what many of us feel - these players are special. It’s also encouraging to have depth in the squad with talents like Jatta coming off the bench. We need to build on this win and strive for consistency if we are to achieve our ambitions this season.

Jodi Jones’s loyalty and enthusiasm for the club are refreshing. His bond with fans is special and lovely to see, making every game more exciting. The fact he’s a team player, always valuing assists over personal glory, shows his good character. Under Maynard’s guidance, Jones continues to thrive, and his decision to stay shows the club’s ambitions moving forward. It’s not just a contract extension; it’s a statement that Notts County is building a future with heart and drive.

Thank you all for the kind congratulations. To be honest, I had no idea, and I’m just trying to enjoy what the site has to offer. I’m pleasantly surprised, so thanks again!

It’s great to have JJ committed to a longer contract. There will always be interest in him while he plays so well, but at least we won’t have to worry about his deal running out until 2027.

This is a very enjoyable read, and I agree with the points raised. The squad is looking stronger. I had concerns about the departures, but I think George Abbott is an excellent addition. He’s exactly the type of loan player you want to bring in. You can also see how much they’re enjoying playing together.

Paul Devlin's career is a brilliant mix of talent, hard work, and perseverance. His journey from the non-league pitches to the Premier League is truly inspiring. The fact that he earned ten caps for Scotland, despite being born in England, adds an international flair to his story. It's amazing to see how he became a key player at every club he joined, particularly at Notts County and Birmingham. His ability to adapt and shine even when the odds were against him speaks volumes about his character. This article is a fantastic tribute to a remarkable career.
