Yes, I know, but whilst a player is enjoying his football, that gives you the best position to see a player extend their stay. I would have hoped that Notts would have foreseen that Macaulay Langstaff would become a very important player. Halfway into his two-year deal would be a good time to talk extensions, but if I ran the club, I would be trying to secure the best of our squad members for the long term as early as possible.

I believe it conflicts with both the positives and negatives, as his presence has evidently given us the edge on goal and the signing of him and Cadwyn Scott has been a significant achievement for the club. It is remarkable that we managed to bring two strikers from a newly promoted team, paying fees and allowing them the necessary time to acclimate to the club. It is astonishing to think that I was initially concerned when rumours emerged that Kyle Wootton wished to depart. The club made a wise decision in disclosing that Macaulay Langstaff had signed before releasing the news of Wootton's exit. We all knew it was bound to happen, and we know that we are fortunate to have Langstaff for two seasons before another club attempts to acquire him. However, it is crucial that the club receives a fee this time around. The best course of action would be to offer him a one-year extension, endeavouring to obtain another season from him, and then assess the offers.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, it's nice to see someone with a good sense humour joining in @Dry Nelson Ray, even if you are a Wrexham fan.

I'm eagerly anticipating the upcoming match against Wrexham. Both teams have a lot at stake, with automatic promotion to the Football League on the line. I expect the game to start off cautiously, with both teams feeling each other out and trying not to make any costly mistakes. However, chances will come for both teams and it wouldn't be surprising if the first half ends up goalless. The second half is where the game is likely to become more lively, and it's important that Notts County doesn't waste too much energy trying to force things to happen. Luke Williams will have undoubtedly made it clear to the team that retaining possession and frustrating Wrexham will be key to the game plan. If we can keep the ball and get their home support on their backs, it will benefit us greatly. I'm hoping for a hard-fought and entertaining game. It's going to be a tense affair, but I believe that if we stick to our game plan and play to our strengths, we have a good chance of coming out on top. Fingers crossed for a positive result!

I believe it's important to retain the core of our current squad to maintain the balance and chemistry that has served us so well this season. With several players out of contract at the end of the season, it's imperative that we offer them new deals to keep them at the club. However, we must also be realistic and acknowledge that not all of these players may choose to stay, especially if we fail to secure promotion to the Football League. Many of our out of contract players have proven themselves at this level and will undoubtedly attract interest from other clubs. Therefore, we must be prepared for the possibility of losing some of these key players and have contingency plans in place. As a fan, it's disappointing to think about the prospect of losing some of our top performers, but we must trust in the club's ability to rebuild and continue our journey towards success.

It's exciting to see our club in the mix for promotion to the Football League. The rivalry with Wrexham has added an extra dimension to this season, and it's not surprising that the producers of "Welcome to Wrexham" have been in touch about featuring us in the show's second season. Both teams have been exceptional this season, and it's been a joy to watch them push each other to new heights. The fact that we've both amassed more points than any other team in the National League shows just how intense the battle has been. Of course, it's natural for our manager, Luke Williams, to downplay our chances of promotion. It's a tough ask to overtake Wrexham at this stage, but we're still in with a shout. Even if we do miss out on automatic promotion, the prospect of navigating the playoff system is daunting. But as a Notts County fan, I'm confident that we have what it takes to succeed, no matter what lies ahead.

As long as the players don't do anything foolish, give their all, and manage to avoid losing, I will be extremely pleased! From where I stand, it doesn't look like the match will be too challenging.

It's great to hear some good news.

He will be deeply missed, and my thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Jason.

The game ended up being heavily one-sided. I'm not sure if Scunthorpe managed to take a shot on target, but they had the potential to cause a lot of problems for Mair. Unfortunately for them, he had very little to do. Our fans didn't seem to have many complaints, but if you were a Scunthorpe supporter, you might have been disappointed with the result.

Welcome back to the site! It's great to see you here on PON.

In my opinion, Adam Chicksen's performance is a result of a combination of good coaching, self-improvement, and the team stretching its resources. It's important to have players of similar abilities to play well. Not everyone can be as good as Messi or Ronaldo.

I think Joel Taylor played well, but since he wants to leave, it's not a good idea to keep him. However, his departure will leave Notts a bit weak in defence. It's important to focus on getting promoted, so it's better to let him go and keep an eye on our goal.

I reckon Tiernan Brooks is gaining confidence, but he needs to work on his kicking during games, it could be better. However, it improved in the second half against Eastleigh. I can't help but root for him.

I thought Eastleigh played dirty, not sure how they kept 11 players on the pitch. I thought their manager got sent off, but it was someone else. Notts looked good and managed to score. I was worried after the penalty miss, but we still won!

As a one of performance there was not a lot to go on, but what he did shown that a club like Notts should be watching players like Dan Mooney.

A difficult clash I expect with the recent form, Grimsby have gotten some good results as of late but have found it hard themselves against the better teams.

Barnet have been poor, it could be another hammering if pushed. I could easily see it being a comfortable win.

I think Dale will want the win more than Notts, they won't want to miss out on that cup tie that might follow and it could make the game a lot more scrapper. I just want Notts to dig deep, work hard and wait to strike. Chances will come but I am mindful of forcing play.

Kyle Hudlin did far more in those minutes he had, than Andy Dallas or Adam Rooney combined. Not the effective switch, but he gave Notts something to think about. Kyle Wootton marking him, then going down due to the collision with Hudlin was a concerning few minutes.

@Joshua If the players don't panic and just enjoy themselves, it will be a good test. I have a feeling Notts will be quite comfortable.

Notts has to build on the clean sheet, there is goals in the squad but keeping the opposition out leads to more confidence going forward IMO. Good result against Yeovil.

It would be a positive sign to see the club bounce back with a win. I don't know what to suggest in terms of changes but something has to be done to try to improve on the recent performances.

He sounds like a good addition to the midfield, we have two defensive holding midfielders and a box to box player. Well done Notts.

I'm going to predict a 1-1 draw, we can't win them all and a point would be a good outcome. Something for the team to improve on with games away from home. I can see Meadow Lane being the main area for points that are picked up, but a slow start never hurt anyone away from home. Confidence and performances have been good, avoid allowing stress and expectations to impact the squad away from home.
