Nathan Claxton looked like a good player. Does anyone know if he featured in the Telford United game?

It’s always a big moment when young players sign their first major contract with a club like Notts. It marks the beginning of an exciting journey, full of potential and promise. I wish these young players all the best as they embark on this new chapter in their careers. May they continue to work hard, develop their skills, and achieve great success with Notts County.

Welcome @Kevin May, I haven't been around for long but you should like the site.

Greetings from someone who has not been around here long, but finds the site to be great. Welcome @Bryn Roberts.

Charlie Slater will be a difficult face to replace. His voice and commentary did take time to get familiar with, but his work with Mark Stallard propelled him into our fan base. He will be missed and I thank him for his efforts in covering Notts and reporting on the club.

I would like to know the reasons that Salford City gave for this to happen, as it seems when Notts wants to postpone games for legitimate reasons, it never gets granted. Yet the moment teams like Chesterfield, Salford, Portsmouth etc. want to back out of games, it’s granted.

Best Signing: David McGoldrick Highest Goal Scorer: Macaulay Langstaff Most Improved Player of the Season: Sam Slocombe Most Starts in the Season: Matt Palmer Best partnership between two players: Sam Austin and Will Randall

Great to hear Luke Williams speak so fondly and respectably about Steve Cooper. Strong rivals, but there's no denying the class on both sides.

Best of luck, Charlie. Thanks for making our games so much more interesting with your commentary!

What is likely to happen to Barnsley? Does anyone know? Will it just be the EFL imposing financial implications and a standard fine?

Routine friendly for both teams, neither side played badly and both gave their all. I think a draw would have been fairer, but when you give the ball away so cheaply, those are the situations where big teams will punish you. Luke Williams will have to focus a bit more on the team’s defending and passing from the back. Why we continue to make similar mistakes without noticeable improvement in this area of our play is concerning. Otherwise, I felt impressed.

A oldie my father used to mention, Bob Chapman.

Reading this blog, it's clear that there is a wave of optimism washing over Notts County ahead of this season. The new signings offer reason for optimism, from the quality of skills and positions they cover, to the blend of experience and freshness they bring. Every player will bring his unique attributes in a way that will empower Notts. This is an enjoyable read.

I don’t buy them anymore; I borrow a friend’s and read the first few pages. The rest I skim, as it’s not often anything to do with Notts as such, just community bulletins which are of no general interest. This isn’t always the case, but I find the front to be excellent, the back to be useful, but the middle is just filler to my eyes. 30 pages of quality text, that is the way forward.

It’s about time decisions were looked into properly and repercussions were sorted. I don’t see why it took so long for them to decide it was violent conduct. If the evidence is clear enough, it should be quite simple to implement the 3-game ban.

Going to have a family day out and grab a photo. Celebrating Notts' victory in the best way possible!

I don’t know much about the Turkish league, but I wish Marc Bola all the best. He’s a good player, so I hope the move brings him closer to winning trophies.

Good luck to Archie Mair, after his saves at Wembley he will always be remembered at Notts.

The home shirt isn’t bad, but I don’t think it’s great either. Interesting concept but it’s just okay. I do like the away blue shirt but I am undecided if I will wait for the home shirt to grow on me or just buy that.

It’s the same every year when Notts doesn’t perform well in pre-season friendlies. It wouldn’t surprise me if Notts played non-league teams in the past to avoid this kind of overreaction. I don’t know what some people expect from a team that is two divisions higher and has previously spent many years in the Premier League. Some people are just spoilt, while others are simply absent-minded.

Hello, welcome to the site @MagpieRob. ????????????????

There were some poor mistakes made that gave Stoke City goals, but these are things they will learn from. Luke Williams knows this; he will have made his decision, and I think he will know which youth players can fill in games in League Two. I understand the disappointment, but I see the positives. I heard silly comments myself; we will always get this, but I also heard people praising and encouraging them. I thought the KOP had no atmosphere, and I think the club should have allowed the full KOP to be open. I thought the attendance would be higher; I guess that was wishful thinking. I won’t criticise any of the players directly, as it’s a pre-season game, and I do credit Stoke for their efforts. Campbell looks like a Premier League player, not Championship, and I wish them all the best with their season.

David McGoldrick, Dan Crowley, Aaron Nemane, Adam Chicksen all did some neat things. Will Randall seems to have a good understanding with Jodi Jones, who worked well with Sam Austin. I thought the players that came on made Notts look more defensive, but to my surprise, they took the game to Stoke. I thought the atmosphere was poor, but some fans tried to encourage the players in a positive way. We will always get a few idiots overreacting.
