I haven’t seen it, but I’m familiar with the character Frank Spencer. I did see the London Games skit where the actors reprised their roles and found it quite amusing. However, I haven’t seen the actual series.

So, they haven’t had 3 points deducted because it’s suspended? It further hurts the fans and club when points are deducted from teams; I strongly disagree with it. I’ve checked the BBC Sports site for the League Two table and there’s no sign of any deduction. Hopefully, they can make payment before the suspension becomes active. I sincerely hope no Notts fan would wish them ill for our benefit.

I’ve corrected the YouTube links for you, @Piethagoram. It’s refreshing to hear Ricardo Moniz’s interviews; he articulates well and demonstrates a clear understanding of the game. I hope he’s given the time needed to turn things around for the club

I’m hoping to see signs of improvement from Notts at home, whilst creating opportunities that could potentially lead to a goal. I don’t believe Tranmere Rovers’ position has much bearing on where they stand; they have a strong squad and if they sense an opportunity to take the lead, I’m confident they’ll seize it. Defensively, my hope is that we can keep them at bay. Conceding two goals wouldn’t be ideal, so if I were Luke Williams, I would emphasise the need for strength when in possession at the back. Opportunities should present themselves, being at home is an advantage for us. I’m unsure of the size of the crowd they’ll bring, but I would assume they have a substantial following.

Zoumana Bakayogo played both us and Tranmere Rovers, he had two spells with them I think.

Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. We are a friendly group of fans @Sir Magpie.

I appreciate Macaulay Langstaff's approach of not setting a specific goal for himself. If he does so privately, that's a different matter, but he's well within his rights to keep it confidential. At times, establishing targets can place unnecessary pressure on players who might not require it. As he suggests, a lack of goals or opportunities would indicate an issue, whereas scoring or creating chances will ultimately come to fruition with time.

Things are progressing nicely now. It's always intriguing to hear Luke Williams' perspective, and I believe we're fortunate to have a substantial number of players in our squad. Each player brings something unique to the table. Additionally, as others have pointed out, Jim O'Brien's error is a collective matter that goes beyond just him. I imagine Jim himself isn't pleased with it, but given our familiarity with his capacity to respond, I am more inclined to align with Williams' viewpoint.

I am hopeful that Notts will indeed sign another defender. We need to be cautious about the potential consequences if we encounter injuries in this position. While the young defender could provide backup, I don't believe he's fully prepared to take on more than just a covering role. Although I wish we could gradually integrate him, I can foresee him becoming a target for some of our less thoughtful fans. This could seriously damage his confidence.

The connection should be cemented with strong adhesive and actively promoted by the club, as this will lead to increased sales of tickets, shirts, merchandise, and other items. It's something that skilled players will hear about and may be more inclined to consider when it comes to further strengthening the team. The challenge lies in avoiding taking it for granted. I hope Notts realizes that this can't be allowed to happen, as the positive atmosphere will naturally fade if it does. The promotion achieved last season provides reasonable grounds for this belief, as does the quality present within the squad.

I've been getting ready for university, which has kept me quite occupied. Apart from watching Notts, I haven't had much opportunity for anything else. Friday and Sunday were mainly spent organizing things, getting prepared for today.

The past is behind us now, and I'm optimistic about our continued progress. Even if we face defeat against a team, let's strive to ensure that the goal difference isn't as wide as the one Sutton achieved against us. Additionally, we should only lose to teams that have genuinely performed well, rather than us performing poorly. I'm content that our club has advanced, as there's much to be appreciative of.

I find it challenging to assign distinct ratings to the performances; I believe the initial assessment provided is reasonable. David McGoldrick faced the challenge of handling difficult passes and had limited involvement in the game, so I'm inclined to concur.

I reckon the sky's the limit for Macca now; he's free from the pressure to constantly score. Similar to Lee Hughes [a bit early for me], I'm aware that many of his goals came in pairs or hat-tricks, and I see no reason why the same couldn't be said for Langstaff. He doesn't need to score in every match; it's simply gratifying when he does.

I appreciate the new commentators; I find their performance commendable and their commentary lucid. I do believe the more experienced one outshines the other; I wish we could have him as a constant presence.

I wouldn't consider accepting any of their players onto our team; I ponder if their own supporters would. Their performance was exceptionally subpar.

I don't believe it should have ever been allowed, as Kick it Out has served its purpose and if anything, taking the knee has ignited an opposite reaction because fans are weary of it. Nevertheless, there's no justification or tolerance for racism or any other misconduct. It's crucial to perform this ritual before every single match, so I'm relieved that I haven't observed its occurrence.

Welcome to the community here at PON, @zaradek.

Welcome to the community here at PON, @JC1966.

Yes, I believe you've hit the nail on the head. Well said, @Chris. I concur with your points. Notts County appears to be adapting to life in League Two. Saturday could hold immense importance!

Luke Williams has been making adjustments and has implemented numerous positive changes. I did wonder why Aaron Nemane wasn't in the starting lineup, but regardless, I believe it was a form of precaution and strategic advantage. With our ample squad depth, we can afford to make such alterations and preserve players for more significant matches. Nemane will now have additional time to rest before the Tranmere Rovers game. The entire squad has a week off, although it varies slightly for those who have played extensive minutes and are in recovery.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your vlog, @ARLukomski. I always do! It's one of the things that makes me nostalgic for the matches I can't attend, even when Notts County might not be performing at their best. In this instance, they were excellent, and the crowd noise was incredible.

Excellent pictures of the fans at Donny, @Chris. It's good to have the Faces of PON back for the new season!

Macaulay Langstaff's inclusion on the score sheet was well-deserved. He displayed a spirited performance and pursued numerous balls that previous strikers might have neglected. His determination to secure his inaugural goal was palpable, which makes his brace even more satisfying. I had even hoped for a third goal from him! The team's overall performance was outstanding, particularly during the second half. Regardless of the opinions voiced by Doncaster fans, our victory was well-earned, and our performance highlighted their shortcomings.

John Bostock is aware that his primary focus is on his individual performance and Notts County. While it's pleasant to hear his reflections about a former club we are set to face, these thoughts hold little relevance to the current situation. After all, it's unlikely that he would speak ill of them or behave poorly. It's essentially a minor narrative, but his responses have certainly prevented it from fading into insignificance.
