Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Kevin May. I have to say its very good here.

Hello, @Bryn Roberts. It's a good site here, welcome!

Hello, welcome to this amazing community @BeestonPie. PON is fun!

That sweet strike from Richard Brindley was the highlight of the match for me. It's great to see the players are getting more consistent with their form and delivering under pressure. The work Williams is doing with the team - focusing on maintaining compact defence and creativity in attack is evidently paying off on the field.

Ian Richardson is one of a kind; you wouldn’t find many footballers doing what he has done. His efforts towards collecting donations to help keep Notts alive are something that many fans underappreciate. He did it for the club and its fans, which is commendable. While some might say he wasn’t the best player, he always ensured that Notts had a presence on the pitch and worked hard. I would rather have him than one of those flashy players who simply don’t get it.

He performed very well with the minutes he was given; his height provided us with something different. I believe that’s partly why he started, and why Connell Rawlinson appeared to be the main centre-back, allowing Kyle Cameron to have the freedom to move forward. If we can maintain this level of performance from him while building his confidence, he should go on to prove himself even more. It’s great to have so many options; Luke Williams will be pleased with it.

I hope Ali has everything in place to move forward. Admitting is the first step, seeking help is the second, but to truly heal, you need to consistently care about yourself over everything else. His time at Spurs originally was amazing to see, from MK Dons to a top-five club and England. That pressure could be a large factor in it.

Good luck to Archie Mair. I would welcome him back here, and I do think he could push for the first team, but he would need to be allocated a lot of time in games for this to happen anytime soon. Gateshead has signed a cracking keeper who also did well against Newcastle United yesterday. They led 2-1 but ended up losing.

It makes me wonder how strict the EFL is with clubs and their books if it goes back to 2017. They need to implement instant penalties for failing to follow the rules, with longer accounts and information taking longer to be given prompting a proper investigation. I do feel bad for Barnsley, but it does need to be cut out of the game.

Nottingham itself had a festival-like feeling in the bars and pubs. It was a nice change to see fans of both teams having a laugh and realising how good it is for our city that we support a local club. The pace of the game was set quite early, and although there were times when it lifted, it would naturally reset back to the original amount. This made the friendly a lot more enjoyable. The brief spells of rain never bothered me, and I thought the game itself was brilliant. Both teams tested each other, and the defeat doesn't bother me, nor did the manner in which it happened.

Programmes quickly become redundant and outdated, and the biggest issue is their cost. Fans don’t mind paying £3 for a big game, but the quality of the paper is often very thin. It doesn’t compare to that of many other clubs. I hope that with the programme expanding to 30 pages, the paper grade will improve.

Exciting times ahead for Notts! The new signings truly promise a thrilling season. Especially looking forward to seeing McGoldrick's performance. You Pies!

Can anyone blame him? It’s a stroke of genius to get the job done at the cost of 20 minutes in a pre-season friendly. Neil Warnock is a clever and cunning bugger for sure.

I don’t understand why anyone who pays to watch a friendly would get that emotionally involved that they would turn to being idiots towards young players. I can’t say a fan would do this. There is just no need, I can’t do anything but condemn it if it was a league match. If you call the youngsters and complain the club doesn’t give them a chance, you are more than a moron.

???? Garry Birtles.... I need soap to wash my hands now. ????

@Paul Manterfield, welcome to PON. Its an enjoyable site if you can visit daily or frequently you will enjoy it.

@MagpieRob, welcome to PON and the site. If you get the time try to visit daily.

Getting Macaulay Langstaff match sharp and along with the other players, it will bring goals and I am more convinced that Notts has goals throughout the squad. Langstaff is a great player for our club.

Isn’t he just opening up old wounds? I would laugh so hard to see them mess up for another season. There’s no need to be bitter after wishing us well. It just makes them look like clowns.

The home shirt is different but nice. It's good that the club has tried something different, and it's not as bad as fans think. It did take me some time to fully appreciate it at first, but it is nice. The away shirt is excellent. However, I am not sure the club should be promoting the Italian connection because of our own issues with Italy in recent years, such as their cheating and kicking Sterling and the Arsenal player all over the pitch.

Stoke City fans should feel proud of their club for this amazing gesture. I am sure many Notts fans, as well as Jason Turner's family, appreciate it.

We will see Notts under more pressure, but it depends on the team Stoke City chooses. If they play a strong squad, it will be our biggest test in pre-season. I hope the lads do well.

I deeply appreciate the team's resilience. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming season and hopefully outdoing the bookies!

I think it’s probably true that Luke Williams knew what Aaron Nemane was going to do. There’s a rumour that he asked for an extended holiday, and that seems more believable than the club holding the information back for multiple weeks to push sales of season tickets. It could be delayed for a week to keep the focus, but nothing more than that. I am just glad it worked out well for us.
