home coming
I enjoyed watching the footage of the homecoming. The fans and players created some great scenes. It’s a shame that the notice for it was so short, but something tells me that was intentional to limit the number of people who turned up. It’s not a negative - I think it was a good idea - but I wish I could have taken my family.

That Bostock penalty....
When you see how disappointed a player is, like we did after John Bostock missed his penalty against Chesterfield, it’s hard to be critical. If it hadn’t been hit so high or hard, it would have been a superb goal and would easily have beaten Ross Fitzsimons.

Match Discussion: Play Off Final - The Spireites
Every player on the pitch needs to bring their A-game for this match. Average or standard performances simply won’t suffice. All the players need to be at their very best and if they can dominate the game, that would be ideal. However, realistically speaking, achieving such a feat is going to be challenging. Personally, I believe that Notts County has what it takes to come out on top in this match. It would be particularly satisfying to see Macaulay Langstaff fire Notts to promotion with a stellar performance on the pitch.

Goals : Notts v Boreham Wood
For me, it was the game of the season. Watching a team dominate in terms of goals and force errors was satisfying. Boreham Wood arrived fearless and, although they employed some underhanded tactics, it made the game all the more enjoyable when we scored those 3 goals that secured our victory.

How do you cope with being a Notts County fan in a city dominated by Forest fans?
I’m fortunate to have witnessed success in the 70s and 80s, and even the 90s weren’t too bad as a Notts fan. I don’t mind friendly banter or jokes about a loss. However, I don’t appreciate those who are delusional or go out of their way to be unpleasant due to imagined rivalries.

From a two-goal deficit to Wembley Final: Notts County’s dramatic win through Aden Baldwin's eyes
It was an unparalleled match, and Notts’ ability to bring it back to a draw was characteristic. I feared that penalties might be our downfall until Jodi Jones scored the winning goal.

Notts County's Dominant Performance Against York City Serves as Warning Ahead of Play-Offs
Luke Williams is spot on in his assessment that opportunities for Notts are at a premium, and this will be even more evident during the playoffs. However, I have faith that the team's quality will shine through and ultimately lead them to victory. I am eagerly anticipating the game. Come on Notts!

Match Discussion: Play Off Semi-Final - The Wood (H)
The game is between two teams who have had heart-breaking experiences when dealing with the National League playoffs. For this reason, I believe the game will be tense until one side starts to dictate the tempo. Being at Meadow Lane, we as fans need to keep off the players' backs and just be a vocal support even if the game is difficult. Our part is to encourage, theirs is to react positively to the play and get the job done. With all the talk of Wembley, it's natural to get ahead and I understand the excitement it brings but the main factor is not to underestimate Boreham Wood on the day. League form always tends to go out of the window in games like this and the Notts players have to make sure they put in a good performance, end the match on a high and keep the faith going into that final outcome, whether it be the final or further heartbreak. This squad has a lot of quality and resilience.

Notts feature on David Squire's cartoon strip for the Guardian
To be honest, I found it amusing. It’s just a witty way of making light of things in general.

Congratulations Wrexham
I am happy to congratulate any team that earns more points than us, regardless of any rivalry. Congratulations to Wrexham for being promoted back to the Football League. I hope their Hollywood owners’ investment benefits the local area and encourages more children to play football. While I wish it could have been us, I cannot be bitter when another team achieves something as amazing as we have.

Adam Chicksen: Luke Williams’ Influence Vital in Decision to Remain with Magpies
Adam Chicksen has been a standout player for Notts this season. Despite a brief period where he appeared fatigued, he has been instrumental in their pursuit of the National League title. With his quick feet and ability to deliver a good cross, he is an entertaining player to watch. It’s great news that he’s been performing so well.

Match Discussion: Game 46 - The Minstermen (H)
Saturday’s match at Meadow Lane between Notts County and York City is sure to be a thrilling one. It’s been a fantastic season for Notts and it’s great to see them playing at their best. I hope they can keep up their momentum in this game and secure a win to top off their successful run. I have no doubt that the team will give it their all and put on a strong performance. The support of the fans will be key in helping Notts achieve their goals and I can’t wait to see everyone come together to cheer them on.

Adam Chicksen commits to two more years
Adam Chicksen has improved immensely this season under the guidance of Luke Williams. He’s the best left/wing back we’ve had since Alan Sheehan. It’s great news that he has decided to stay with us and has signed a two-year deal. We’re lucky to have him on our team!

Adam Chicksen's scoring streak secures new deal with Notts County
I’m delighted to hear that Adam Chicksen has signed a new 2 year deal with Notts County. In my opinion, he’s been the best left/wing back that the club has had since Alan Sheehan.

Match Discussion: Game 45 - The Stones (A)
It was an excellent performance from start to finish, despite some slight wobbling around the 70-minute mark. However, the goals only added more excitement to the game. Jim O'Brien's incredible performance was well deserved. Although he had a few tough games, there was never any doubt about what he brings to the squad. I was a bit surprised to see Macaulay Langstaff on the bench, but I was pleased to see Cedwyn Scott start. After Scott scored, it proved to be a good decision. It was mentioned that Langstaff had a bug or something, but I do believe that Luke Williams has been reading PON and taking suggestions about resting players. The impressive win, even with certain key players out, demonstrates the team's spirit, teamwork, and dedication.

Match Discussion: Game 45 - The Stones (A)
Notts shouldn't worry or even think about Wrexham during the game, it has no bearing on how we need to play Maidstone United. I would hope that Luke Williams' comments after the last home win, make the players react in a way to say, "You know what? We are fighting for this club". I think that is what Williams is looking for, and hopefully, the players will put in a superb performance. We just need to see that two halves are played with as much determination to get the right result as possible.
