Notes from the kids
It’s so heartwarming to hear that @KB1862’s children wrote him a note about Notts County getting promoted. It’s always wonderful to see the younger generation getting involved and excited about their local team. What a lovely thing to read

Reading FC interested in Luke Williams?
Just to be clear, I’m not being entirely serious here, but if I were in charge of the club, I would definitely out-price teams that are unlikely to offer a decent transfer fee. If Reading wants Macaulay Langstaff, they better be prepared to cough up £30m. I wouldn’t let him go for anything less than £10m, but my price would be even higher just to put them off. Notts needs to offer him an extension halfway through next season, unless someone snaps him up for a silly fee first.

Can we do a Luton?
I believe we’re on the rise and will become a solid League Two team. Next season will be revealing - if we start off strong, we might even start dreaming of back-to-back promotions. Whether we can do it beyond League One is another question, but I have a feeling we’re on the brink of happier times.

The Nottingham Post Celebrates Notts County Fans at Wembley: ‘Mag-nificent Supporters’
Well done to the Nottingham Post for featuring our fans in a happier moment in the club’s history. We showed more class than a finishing school when we turned up in strong numbers, sporting Notts shirts from every era!

Ross Fitzsimons
I know some people say we shouldn’t be too hard on Ross Fitzsimons, but I swear he must have sponges for gloves. He usually starts off looking like a decent keeper, but then he starts making more errors than a drunk trying to solve a Rubik’s cube. I think he has issues with confidence and concentration. Chesterfield would have won if it wasn’t for him. I bet their fans are glad he’s gone. I wonder if they were even considering renewing his contract? I can’t see any reason why they would unless they enjoy losing.

Notts County’s Head Coach Luke Williams Shares Joy of Promotion with Notts County Fans
This article really captures the excitement and joy of Notts County’s promotion back to the Football League. It’s great to see the team and fans celebrating together.

Langstaff...top flight interest?
Hopefully, Macaulay Langstaff will give Notts a chance. Clubs should still be interested in him and testing himself in League Two could be a smart move in the long run. So many footballers just move for the sake of it, but when you find a team like Notts, settling down for at least a season or two is a wise decision. But then again, I might be a little biased.

Aaron Nemane
Aarone Nemane definitely deserves a round of applause for his performance at Wembley. He’s taken Cal Roberts’ spot in the squad and run with it - literally! When he gets going, teams find it hard to keep up with him. I don’t even mind when he tries things and loses the ball - as long as he tries to win it back. After all, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!

Slater & Stallard... Wembley dash cam
Stall and Slater could be the next big sitcom - I might pitch it to Gold, the BBC, and ITV. Can anyone else picture it? Watching their celebrations is like watching a new trend unfold before our eyes. The audio is music to my ears and the visuals are just as great.

That Bostock penalty....
The Bostock penalty wasn’t terrible, he just overhit the ball, but it was a superb technique. I thought it was going in until it hit the crossbar and bounced away. Did anyone else see it in slow motion?

A tale of goalkeepers
The tale of two keepers at Wembley was a genius idea by Luke Williams. If it hadn’t paid off, I believe most fans would agree that it made sense to bring on Archie Mair given his previous saves for Notts from the spot.

The view from Chesterfield
Chesterfield will be gutted - they won’t be happy about losing the game. Anything like this is just PR management by their media team.

Notts County triumphs over Chesterfield and reclaims title as world’s oldest football league club
It may not have been the ideal performance, but what counts is the win! Securing it through penalties made it even more special, despite the added tension. What a fantastic trip to London! The reactions of the players were brilliant.

Match Discussion: Play Off Final - The Spireites
I wonder how Luke Williams can resolve the nerves in defence because it hinders the ability to go forward. The deep line becomes a nightmare when teams rush out and put more energy into their play. Chesterfield came out wanting it more and played like they had a point to make. The referee made some questionable decisions, but I think he got the penalty decision correct. Unfortunately for Sam Slocombe, he caused two issues at the very start. He looked nervous and if he remains at the club, this defensive issue needs to be worked on. Good teams will find it easy to exploit this weakness, as Wrexham, Boreham Wood and Chesterfield all did. I thought Aaron Nemane was class, but other players like Adam Chicksen and Sam Austin were average. They didn’t contribute much to the game and I think Luke Williams made the right call by bringing Jodi Jones on quicker than normal because he helped change the outcome. Ruben Rodrigues wasn’t very bright but scored well. Macaulay Langstaff had chances but we didn’t bring him into the game. Cedwyn Scott helped in this regard. People praise John Bostock who was solid going forward but clumsy in key areas defensively. His goal was a redeeming stunner and I won’t dwell too much on the penalty.

Expiring #Notts contracts 30 June 2023
There are rumours that Jim O’Brien will be appointed as a coach at Sheffield United. I think it would be wise to keep Connell Rawlinson for another season as he could be useful as a backup defender. It would be good to have a better pairing at the back, but then we would need to find more playing time for Richard Brindley. I prefer him playing out wide, so maybe we could try him as an alternative right wing-back?

home coming
Poor Christoffer Reedtz. Notts is really taking its toll on the poor chap. His Danish blonde locks are turning deep brown and his hairline seems to be receding faster than Chesterfield’s penalty takers’ hopes. At this rate, he’ll be balder than a coot before the season’s out!

and absolute class from Ryan Reynolds too
Ryan Reynolds can have the keys to Meadow Lane. He’ll find them more useful than the ones he and Rob McElhenney were given by Wrexham. He’s a class act who’s shown that football is more than just rivalry. Each comment oozes class. I can’t wait to take six points off his Wrexham next season. Good luck to him and his team, just not against us. After all, we don’t want Deadpool to have all the fun on the pitch!

The Guardian : Jodi Jones
It could very well be one of the most viewed videos among Notts fans. The story it tells is brilliant and the win was such a crucial one. When Jodi Jones arrived, he mentioned how he wanted to find happiness, as he hadn't been playing much and was eager to get match fit. Now, just look at the difference he's making to our squad! Every time I watch his goal, I can't help but hear Rubeus Hagrid's voice in my head saying "You're a wizard, Jodi!" ????

Which Wembley block will you be seated in on Saturday?
I’ll be in block 104 tomorrow and I can’t wait to see Wembley in all its glory. It always looks amazing on TV, but I bet it’s even more magical in person. What a season we’ve had and now we get this final treat! Safe travels to all of you making the journey. And don’t forget your lucky socks!

Curtis Thompson released from Wycombe
I’d actually be quite happy to see Curtis Thompson back at Meadow Lane. He’s still got a lot to offer and has a great attacking engine. Sure, it might raise some questions about where he’d fit in the squad, but I seem to recall him being shoved into defense and doing a pretty good job. Versatile players like him are worth their weight in gold when it comes to squad depth.
