Notts County to Honour Sven-Göran Eriksson with Minute's Applause
Honouring Sven-Göran Eriksson with a minute's applause exemplifies the respect and admiration the Notts County community holds for him. Beyond his on-field successes, his personal integrity was evident in his decision to waive his payoff. This gesture was more than just generous; it was a testament to his deep respect for the club. As fans gather to pay their respects, it's clear that Eriksson's influence will continue to inspire. His legacy is one of hope, ambition, and a true love for the beautiful game.

Stuart Maynard: ‘Smash and Grab’ Win Shows Notts County’s Promotion Credentials
Hats off to Stuart Maynard and the team for another brilliant win. The tactical flexibility shown against Swindon is exactly what we need to sustain a promotion push. Holding on to a lead in such a tightly contested match shows the grit we have. McGoldrick rolled back the years with two phenomenal goals and proved his worth. It’s exciting to see how the new signings will blend into the team and offer even more depth. Special mention to the defence and keeper for absorbing the pressure effectively. Consistency will be key, and if we improve our ball recovery, we can surely challenge for the playoffs.

Welcome to Notts, Jevani Brown.
He seems like a bit of a gamble. Notts probably sees him as someone who can open up play and provide assists rather than a straightforward goalscorer. The number of goals he scored last season wasn't great compared to his appearances.

George Abbott Excited for New Chapter at Notts County: "It's a Good Opportunity" Says Tottenham Hotspur's Young Midfielder
Reading about George Abbott's thoughts on joining Notts, I’m encouraged by his enthusiasm and level-headed approach. Leaving Tottenham, where he spent his formative years, to step into a more challenging and diverse football environment is certainly commendable. His research into Notts County’s fan base and his appreciation for their support before even starting a game shows a lot about his character. Abbott's defensive focus and ability to link play from the back to the front should significantly bolster our squad. It’s clear that he’s ready to take on the big crowds and step up to the challenge. Here’s to a successful season ahead with George contributing on the pitch!

RIP Sven
All deaths are sad, especially when you are in the middle of your own life. I am sorry to hear that he has passed away. I wish his family and friends comfort. I will remember him as a man who smiled and tried to help the club I love.

Alassana Jatta: In The Goals.
I’m not worried about goals with this squad, but I am concerned that if Jatta gets injured or suspended, we’ll have to rely on David McGoldrick and Cedwyn Scott. Scott is being played in a position that doesn’t seem natural to him. If he moved up front, it might take time for him to adjust. That’s why we need a signing like Macaulay Langstaff. Jatta is a fantastic talent, and I’m sure he’ll score goals and do well in our team. Wanting another option isn’t about replacing him, but about having more depth and quality. As I said, he’ll get goals. It would be great to hear his chant more and see him score more. He’s a very important part of the squad.

Match Discussion: Game 3 - The Mariners (H)
It’s sometimes hard to see what happens, but I’ve seen a video Sky Sports released that clearly shows the ball bouncing off both of Dan Crowley’s hands. As for the offside, I’m not sure there was any interference. They change the rules so much it’s hard to be certain. It did look like offside, but I think even if the goals were disallowed, Notts would have gone on to win anyway. It was a brilliant performance, and I understand Grimsby fans’ complaints, but the decision is final now. They’ll get a similar favour at some point, which they might not mind then.

Game 2: Loughborough Lightning v Notts County Women
I’m not being negative, but I think it shows the level our women’s team is at and where improvements are needed. Not every team will beat them like that, but it does show how good Loughborough are.

Geraldo Bajrami out for the season.
I feel bad hearing that Gerald Bajami has suffered the same injury. If it’s his other knee, that would be worrying. Best wishes to him.

Welcome to Notts, Lucas Ness
I’m looking forward to seeing how he fits into the team. He sounds like a reliable defender and is at an age where he could improve with more game time. It’s a very promising addition to the Notts squad.

Salford's Matt Smith announces retirement
Will he go into coaching or punditry? I wish him all the best; he's had a good career.

Energy Price Cap to Rise 10%.
It's outrageous how they lower the prices, only to raise them even higher than before. It shouldn't be this high, but at the very least, it should stay at a reasonable level. How much profit does an energy company really need to make at the expense of people's lives?

Please send my well wishes to @AmericanPie. Like others before me, I am saddened to hear about his health problems. He had mentioned some in the past, and it seemed they had been taken care of. I wish they had been for him.

Opposition View: How Fleetwood Town’s New Signings Could Impact the Notts County Game
I appreciate Tom’s answers. Some could have been more detailed, but I understand it’s early in the season. Relegation can be dreadful, as we Notts fans know, but Fleetwood have a good chance of doing well and could be one of the teams fighting for a playoff place.

The quality of fresh fruit & Veg
In my opinion, the quality of fruit can be inconsistent. It doesn’t seem as good as it used to be. While some fruits are generally fine, others taste different and spoil faster.

The Notts County Squad 2024/25
While there’s scope for more players, I anticipate that the new signings will likely be more of squad players rather than first-team competitors. I’m fine with this, as long as we sign a striker. We’re quite thin in that area, and a good signing would boost our confidence.

Match Discussion: PSF - The Minstermen (A)
I don’t pay much attention to friendly matches, and the results don’t concern me. My focus is on understanding how the team is shaping up. Despite a 2-2 draw, I see more positives than negatives. Notts demonstrated some excellent football against a respectable York team. I believe that with a few more players and the starting 11 finding their footing, we’ll be in a strong position by the season’s end.

Macaulay Langstaff Watch.
Friendlies are like this for new strikers stepping up. It seems Millwall are focusing on integrating him into the first team. Once he's on the same level as his teammates and they create chances for him, he'll score.
