someone i know who supports watford said macaulay langstaff kept bumping into his own players and looked like a headless chicken. he said that he looked to be struggling with the pace and intensity of the game. i hope he starts to find his feet with them.

i think most fans appreciate and respect what the reedtz have done and continue to do for us. there is a pocket of silly fans who think they are not investing in the squad etc, which is just silly. i think those types of fans are the ones who get into the ears of owners or the club, making them think actions need to be taken when its better to procced as you are. i dont think notts does this, but it does risk that clubs might overspend or make mistakes which these people seem to love to jump on.

i think its petty because if clubs made sure they had a good range of reputable retro kits, i dont think fans would seek them out in the demand that makes it viable for them to be manufactured in the first place. if there isnt the demand, then i dont see how they would sell. at the same time i think that if there is demand, some fans cant afford the prices and may look for cheaper alternatives. i think clubs should not take any action against the fans who wear them or evict them from the stadium. that is harsh and i disagree with it. they should put more effort into making sure they shut the fake suppliers down, whilst making sure they themselves can cater for this demand.

i would have played aiden stone over sam slocombe but i am not the manager, i think some of our fan base loves to single out a player and batter them with harsh comments. yes, hes not the best now but he has served us well during his time. i think some of the comments on social media, they are uncalled for and harsh. the same things would be said about stone or whoever played had mistakes been made. its a bit fickle.

i am encouraged that tom who did the opposition view mentioned them needing a striker. it looks like they can score, but if we have our best keeper and defenders starting, i think it would be more difficult for fleetwood. on paper, i think we have the better players but they might perform better as a team. we cant write them off.

i remember the name but not so much about him playing for notts. one of those come and go loans. @Piethagoram did you know patterson got named in the team if the week for sunderland? hes doing well for them in the championship.

i have family on the isle of wight and man, those are lovely mostly unspoilt places which i have enjoyed visiting. isle of man i used to go once a year before I turned 18, to visit family. one of my aunts has a house near the sea, so the beach is almost on its door step. skegness is a lot nicer than people say, you just need to know where to go but the standard of food is nice. my family has a caravan on richmond which has been taken over now. i have a weekend there every now and then but have not been so far this year.

it will be interesting to see how we do to fleetwood, i think league games will be different because we are unlikely to make changes for the sake of it. the players who did come on against shrewsbury could have easily started. defensively at our strongest and with alex bass in goal i think we will be fine.

i respect that stuart maynard acknowledges the mistakes and takes responsibility for the players. it could have turned out much differently, but shrewsbury did come knocking on the door and unfortunately they got back into it. notts managed to take the game to penalties, jatta did his best to level things and to score his pen. i just wished we had managed to do better in the shoot out.

i am pleased to read that they might need a striker, its something we could do with despite the good options we have. it feels a bit more unknown with it being at home but i am glad we got off the mark with scoring against shrewsbury. i think it will be a tough game. thanks tom for answering pons questions!

i am not to dishearten by it, we did well to get back into the game. we made mistakes to gift our lead but we worked hard to take it in the first place. i think going to penalties is always a lottery and yes, we should have maintained the lead, but they are a league one side. jatta shows up at the right time, having scored now we can focus on sunday.

jatta did well to get us back into it and to force penalties, i wont be disappointed with mcgoldricks casual penalty. i think he wanted to calmly place it, making their keeper think he would hit it harder. edwards should not feel down either. its a respectable defeat i feel. just a shame we did not maintain the lead which we worked so hard for.

very pleased with how notts are playing, its showing how important it is that we are defensively solid. yes shrewsbury had one a chance to score that went over but we are 2-0. we are managing the game well, making shrewsbury work. notts needs to keep on top of it.

i wish the womens team well, it does sound like they are making sensible signings.

he looks like a great addition to the team, really calm headed and good on the ball. very organised and quick to get back to defending. i thought he worked very well with louis macari and matt platt, its good to see the defence having that level of understanding of each other. its early days but this is one of the most promising parts.

i forgot about this, so i wont be able to attend the game. i hope we make sensible changes but dont weaken our lineup, its important we take the league and fa cup seriously. shrewsbury will be a challenge but we have played them and know what it takes to perform well against them.

thank you for writing and sharing this @Robbie, also thanks to @ARLukomski for the stats. i am encouraged by the signing, despite feeling a bit disappointed we lost a good attacking option in an area that made a difference when it worked. i think conor grant should shine for us if we give him the time and if he works hard. the fact we have good cover now in midfield, will make players need to work hard.

please tell american pie that we miss and wish that hes okay. you will see we have a lot of respect for him and he is greatly missed. always had a lot of time for him and how he enjoyed talking on here. he is in my thoughts.

did neither not have a different colour shirt, or did they not bring the other shirt? its very silly.

i thought the changes he made helped bring us more into the game, i think defensively we look very calm and that focus needs to continue as we start to push in further into the season. the opening game was a good one despite the goalless draw. i dont think tranmere played that badly, they just struggled with our quality.

great pictures, @Chris. i am glad you felt up to taking the pictures and managed to capture enough to do the faces of pon. keep up the good work!

he sounds like one incredible player, i have seen pictures of west brom fans holding a huge banner of him. hes a great fit to the pride of nottingham alumni. rest in peace, jeff astle. your memory lives on and i thankful for contributions to the club i love.
