Although there are positive aspects to consider, it is frustrating to have controlled the game so much. While I respect the outcome, I believe we should have returned with all three points. Based on the events that transpired, the result is fair. Neither team posed enough challenges to the other. However, Luke Williams is correct in his assertion that we need to concentrate during the game. With patience, success will come.

I am fully inclined to view it as a point earned. Despite our efforts, without a clear opportunity, it's difficult to perceive it otherwise. I believe Luke Williams might have made a prudent choice by introducing a substitution at half-time, perhaps bringing on Sam Austin or John Bostock. Not that a change was necessary, but I sense that introducing a different player could have altered Morecambe's approach. They seemed to have a good understanding of our tactics and were attentive to marking specific players. In my opinion, the game was satisfactory, and I'm relieved that the weather remained pleasant with sunshine prevailing. We will undoubtedly make improvements; I have confidence in that.

I didn't have the opportunity to comment on this, but I found the victory to be exceptional. Considerable effort was invested in overcoming the two setbacks, and the entire squad contributed to transforming what could have been a potential defeat or draw into a win. The goals displayed a high level of quality, and they were all executed very well. The finishing from Grimsby's players was also outstanding. Their second goal was a beautifully executed move!

Best of luck; Brad should do perfectly well. I'm hopeful that we can arrange loans for the senior youth team members as well, but for a first-year scholar, Grantham serves as an ideal loan opportunity.

Indeed, we all would have preferred to secure a victory, and when examining the statistics, it does seem like that should have been the result. However, matches are not determined solely by statistics or what's on paper. Credit must be given to Morecambe for making adjustments that curtailed Notts' ability to create further chances during a period of intense pressure. If we were in their shoes, we'd likely be commending Luke Williams for similar decisions.

Hello, @MagpieRoy. Welcome to the community.

Passion, grit, and an unwavering belief in our abilities are what we need to secure victory against Morecambe. I'm particularly excited to see how McGoldrick utilises his experience to pressure Morecambe's defence. This promises to be an absorbing encounter.

League Two may be taking shape, but it's still early days. Momentum can shift quickly, and we've seen teams claw back from defeat in the past. While a win is not imperative at this point, it would certainly boost morale for Notts and settle the initial jitters they might have.

Jodi Jones delivered some brilliant crosses. We were a bit fortunate that Dan Crowley got on the end of one of them. Grimsby fans can’t be happy with their team’s defending. John Bostock’s control and volley were stunning and would be just as impressive in the Premier League.

Watching this game felt like riding a roller coaster with its ups and downs. However, it's admirable how the players clung on and didn't give up. Williams should be praised for instilling that resilience in the team. Sure, the drama does get to your nerves, and it'll be great to see more composed performances in the future. I can't be harsh to Connell and well done to Brindley for his excellent game.

It's heartening to witness Jones' enthusiasm and optimism about Notts County's prospects. His assurance about more to come from him for the fans is something we all look forward to. His confidence in himself is contagious and bodes well for the team's future performances. Even with his impressive performance, he remains humble and hungry for more, which is an excellent trait for any sportsperson. Concerning the game, his recognition of the fans' support shows how much he values their contribution. It's wonderful to hear an athlete appreciate their fans so openly, acknowledging their role in the win. His positive outlook, both in terms of personal performance and team outlook, is a breath of fresh air.

It’s good to hear that things are coming back. PON deserves a good season.

He wasn’t around for long. I don’t remember if he joined for the season or on loan, but he did okay. We have had better and far worse players, but it’s a name I think is easy to forget.

Kristian Dennis is the obvious name that I can add to this.

He will do well with a good League Two team. If Wrexham can get the best out of him, it would be a good move on paper. I don’t rate him much higher, but he’s not a bad player.

The first match is usually a bit static for newly promoted teams, unless they overcome their nerves and really go for the win. I can’t see Notts winning by a large margin; I think it will be close and that Sutton United will be defensively resilient. My prediction is a narrow 1-0 win, with Macaulay Langstaff scoring the only goal of the game. It wouldn’t surprise me if either team ends up having a goal disallowed. Despite my low score prediction, I think both teams will play quite well.

I think Luke Williams has hit the nail on the head when he talks about other teams reverting to a deep block even when it wasn’t their initial game plan. This shows that our intensity and performance can force a team to change their tactics on the spot. What we need now is to find a way to break down that deep block efficiently.

I'll start off with an easy one, Will Randall.

I’m eager to see this season’s preview and hear Charlie Slater’s thoughts on our prospects.

There are valuable lessons to be learned from playing games like the one we just played. Winning all the friendlies 2-0 or 5-0 won’t reveal as much. Starting against a smaller club allows the team to ease back into playing, while the bigger games show where the squad stands and what needs improvement. Without being tested, there can be no learning or progress. Notts have already shown promising signs in pre-season, particularly with how well David McGoldrick has integrated.

Welcome to PON, so hello @David Shipston and I hope you join in with us.
