Ruben Rodrigues' pass is a perfect example of why Notts should sometimes adopt a more direct approach, rather than trying to walk the ball into the net. Although wing play can be thrilling, there comes a point when it's too easy for the opposition to stack players in defence, making it harder to score. Therefore, while I appreciate the excitement of our play, especially from the wing play, I believe that being more direct at times can yield better results for Notts in those tougher games.

@Piethagoram Whatever you imbedded, it doesn't show. I tried to fix it to no avail.

While the red card is a significant issue for Eastleigh, there are still no indications that he is up to the standard required for this level of play. If he wants to prove his detractors wrong, he should seize the opportunities presented to him at Eastleigh instead of engaging in foolish behaviour on the pitch.

Throughout the rest of the season, Notts and Wrexham are likely to remain close in the league standings, with everything to play for in the final few games. However, I don't believe either team will pull away and secure an easy title victory. That simply won't happen despite Wrexham fans thinking it will. While it's true that Wrexham are in good form, it's not reasonable to assume that they will win every game. Similarly, some of our fans may struggle with losing or accepting that we are in contention for the title, despite it being an unexpected turn of events.

I won't take credit away from Bromley; they did far better in the first half. Notts just took longer to get into the match, but by the second half, we had chances. I don't think it's really fair to blame the pitch outright. The game could have been ours if we had taken some of the chances we created. The biggest plus for me is Tiernan Brooks, who looked ready to play. He had a shaky first 25 minutes, but was solid after that.

I believe that the current squad from last season has been consistently performing, which has set a standard for the new signings to match. This has improved the club as a whole, and there are numerous options for addressing this topic. Ruben Rodrigues, despite occasional inconsistency, exhibits moments of brilliance even on his off days. I want to highlight that Rodrigues has emerged as a leader and a player who strives to win games this season. Despite my earlier comments, I do not consider him far behind anyone else and have observed him play exceptionally at times. Under Luke Williams, Adam Chicksen has demonstrated a remarkable improvement. He has been highly consistent with his assists and goals. Macaulay Langstaff is one of the most consistent players on the team, and without his goals, Notts would not be in the running for the title. Despite losing a player like Kyle Wootton, Langstaff has worked tremendously hard and contributed even during games where he may appear quieter. He has been a delight to watch, scoring with the slightest touch or executing a shoulder drop, a touch, and a shot past the opposing goalkeeper. His boots seem like the holy grail when it comes to scoring, as the ball always finds the back of the net. For me, the standout player has been Matt Palmer. He is in a class of his own, composed, influential, and eager to advance the ball forward. Palmer rarely makes mistakes, and having a midfielder who can deliver the ball to useful areas is a significant advantage when aiming for promotion. My only criticism would be that he should work on his finishing skills a bit more to round out his game. However, I understand that he has focused on honing his strengths.

The transformation under Reedtz has been remarkable. They took over the club with little time to plan and were almost immediately thrown into National League games. They backed Neal Ardley, who provided us with a solid foundation to build upon. Then they entrusted Ian Burchnall to continue building on those foundations. Their business-minded approach is evident in everything they do. They don't rush their decision-making process, but when they feel that action needs to be taken, they don't hesitate either. Playing devil's advocate, the situation could be entirely different. We could be firmly entrenched in the National League with owners who are unsure of how to move the club forward. However, credit must be given to them for staying true to their beliefs and plans. They exhibit no concerns regarding the direction the club is heading and allow the manager to navigate through results independently. The fact that they take a step back, analyse, and make calculated decisions speaks volumes about the environment they have created for Notts.

My confidence in Notts achieving a decisive triumph over Bromley is absolutely unwavering. I have an unshakeable belief that our players are fired up and determined to redeem themselves after the previous defeat to Dagenham, and demonstrate to the entire league, not just us fans that they have what it takes to compete with the best of them. Yes, there may be a few adjustments made to account for fitness concerns, but I have no doubt that Luke Williams and the team will have thoroughly studied Bromley and developed a winning strategy. In fact, I'm so certain that we'll emerge victorious that I'm already envisioning the final score: 3-1 in our favour. Let's go, Notts!

Hello, @JoeNcfc. Welcome to PON. Hope you join in with us and enjoy it.

Watching Notts is undoubtedly my favourite pastime. It not only allows me to get out of the house, but also provides me with the opportunity to enjoy football. The sheer thrill of witnessing skilled players in action, the intense competition, and the roar of the crowd all contribute to making it an exciting experience. Being able to support my team, Notts, as they work tirelessly to achieve their goals, is a source of immense pride for me. It's a wonderful feeling to be part of a community that shares a common passion, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Welcome to PON @SSTurtle28.

Sam Slocombe Adm Chicksen Ruben Rodrigues Matt Palmer Macaulay Langstaff I went with Adam Chicksen over Kyle Cameron because I would set a five-a-side team up to attack. If you do that, you won't have to defend as much.

He will be present for another season, but I anticipate that his opportunities will be very restricted. At some point, I can envision him being loaned out.

The officials conducted a game with many poor decisions and missed fouls, making for a shocking display despite the good performance by Notts. Nevertheless, it was an entertaining match with two teams playing to win. While Dagenham & Redbridge initially sat back, their counterattacks posed a significant threat. The result could have been in our favour if we had stopped insisting on walking the ball into the net and had not given the ball away so easily. Notts' two key mistakes resulted in the opposition's two goals, but I am proud of our undefeated streak. I hope to see a swift return to our winning ways and shake off the fatigue that Luke Williams mentioned.

I know this is a difficult time for you, but I wanted to wish you a happy birthday @super_ram and remind you that I'm here for you. Sending you love and support on your special day.

It's crucial that we use it as a source of motivation to go on another unbeaten streak and secure a victory against Wrexham on their home ground. Despite feeling hard done by some of the decisions made during the game, it's important to remember that such challenges are commonplace in this division. As a team, we need to stay focused and determined, using our disappointment as fuel to improve our performance and achieve our goals.

All of the things Luke Williams mentions is just a glowing report of how better Notts County are now, the fact he understands why the brothers may say no but both parties know its what is best for the club. Not egos, bank accounts, to spite fans or any of that nonsense. Long may it continue!

Solid signing to bring in but does he play on the wing? Is he not to replace Tobi Adebayo-Rowling? I am just a little confused where he will play otherwise.

They had a penalty appeal waved away? When their player flopped to the floor because he couldn't keep up with his feet and, the referee instantly dismissed it? It's not much of an appeal. None of their players seemed bothered. Good report otherwise.

There has been a lot of talk about player performances but for me Connell Rawlinson and Sam Austin deserve huge praise, both have done well when played. Austin has been a perfect signing and Rawlinson has reclaimed his composure. On his day, he's a very good defender who puts his body on the line without thought. The performance being topped off with 4 goals, is only outshined by the clean sheet. I don't think Sam Slocombe was all that troubled but clean sheets are to clean sheets.

I hope this is okay, but fans and members of PON wishing to leave a memorial message for Granny Pie. Members have already started to post them on her profile. https://prideofnottingham.co.uk/profile/136-grannypie/ Its a sensitive subject and I wouldn't want to over step my mark. As a younger fan joining PON, I wasn't sure what to expect. Reading a site can be different than joining in, but it wasn't the case here. Granny Pie was a funny, witty and caring women who would always make me feel welcome. @liampie would always tell what Granny would be getting up to, I think those walking sticks of hers should be memorialised. In fact, I think the Broken Wheelbarrow forum should be named in honour of her. The GrannyPie Room or something better!?!

I have a good feeling about the game, I think the attendance will be hit with many die hard fans opting to stay at home and watch the game on BT Sports. Nothing wrong with that at all, but if you do stay home please don't use it as an excuse if the club plays poorly/loses/draws. I can't be the only fan who is hoping for a repeat in hammering them?

I am not disappointed, it sounded like a decent performance but I think now highlights that we need to improve in a few crucial areas if we aim to get promoted. Another striker is a must, someone who can finish the chances we create and possibly a winger who can run down the by line taking the opposition on. I like Joel Taylor, but he drifts in and plays deeper. As for the result, yes Notts could've won the match 1-0. I just feel that it gives a base to show where we need to improve away from home.

They did, but when we turned it on they struggled to match us. It's a shame we shut off at the very end, as I think we could've won otherwise.

Some of their fans still hold a resentment towards Notts. Rochdale would never have won it, Steve Cotterill surprised us all by improving the form and pushing to the top place. I am pleased we managed to bring them back to Meadow Lane, I hope we can knock them out on our soil.
