Lee Johnson could be a suitable appointment; Fleetwood might even be the kind of team that suits him. However, if he fails to instigate a turnaround, it could significantly dent his career.

I’m not keen on this; the EFL Trophy is a farce and merely a waste of time. Now that most of our fans have experienced Wembley, that excuse can be dismissed. It will be intriguing to see how low the attendance drops. I will focus on the important cup matches and the league.

It’s positive news that the Mansfield game will be televised. I hope this discourages those with no real interest in Notts from attending, yet who still turn up for games.

It is essential that we closely examine the way MK Dons scored, as it is crucial to address the defensive lapse that occurred. I don’t want to harp on it or see Connell Rawlinson continually blamed. It’s a dreadful goal to concede, but it’s a defensive issue rather than solely Rawlinson’s, although he could improve.

This is an encouraging fact if we continue to perform well. I hope we can replicate this success. The away match against Salford will be a significant challenge.

Notts adopted a more effective strategy in the MK Dons match. Their goal was expertly executed, and they brought an element of threat to their game. It seemed to materialise out of the blue, as I felt Notts were gradually finding their footing in the game until then. In the second half, Notts executed some impressive moves, and their ball control made MK Dons hesitant to push forward. Despite numerous opportunities, nothing really materialised for us in terms of goals. Kyle Cameron's goal was truly exceptional. It effortlessly soared into the net, and the subsequent opportunities were promising, but their goalkeeper did well to prevent us from clinching the win.

Tranmere Rovers have had a dismal start, which explains why they’ve decided to part ways with their manager. I’ve seen no evidence of progress from them, despite having some talented players. It’s puzzling why they don’t capitalise on the partnership between Kane Hemmings and Kristian Dennis. They haven’t seen much playtime, but there’s undeniable quality in their team that could potentially turn things around.

Dan Crowley is beyond this level and should continue to excel. When one fits into a system as seamlessly as he does, it’s difficult to envision him being benched or replaced. He integrates so well into our line-up that, to me, it seems our midfield selects itself on match days. For instance, not seeing Matt Palmer start, we have the core of midfield and now in Crowley, we have the rhythm. I’m delighted that he’s enjoying his time here, and I relish watching him play for us.

It’s a fascinating tale of how he was let go by Doncaster Rovers, had a loan stint with Notts, and ultimately signed a contract in Dubai. I don’t recall observing it, but I typically don’t pay much heed to the goalkeepers warming up. Nonetheless, it’s an intriguing little story.

Kyle Cameron is a commendable leader for us on the pitch. He exerts a great deal of effort and is often criticised for going to ground and losing the ball, but I believe he’s shown significant improvement this season. His strike against MK Dons was a thing of beauty; it was never going to be saved. Once Notts got into their stride, MK Dons appeared quite average, so there are plenty of positives to take away, not just from the draw itself, of course. Maintaining our undefeated run is of utmost importance.

I think it’s a very average signing that signals just how much Wrexham has struggled to bring in players for certain positions, but I do think Fletcher is more of a signing to provide cover and allow them to review once his deal ends.

I didn’t attend the game, but I did watch it at home. It was a great day and a proud moment. I wished the Danish brothers owned us at this point because I think our friendship would have been forged more closely with souvenirs from the day most likely being bought by them so that they could remain with the club.

I find it rather amusing and delightfully peculiar, indeed quite distinct. It’s a bit pointless, asking questions in a skit that are unanswerable. The Paddle Centre is constantly bustling, so I don't think it really needed any additional promotion.

Others are to blame, not just Connell Rawlinson, but it was his responsibility to mark the MK Dons player closely. There’s a point where he looks back towards the ball, and I think that’s when he realised the mistake he had made. I don’t think anyone needs to launch a hate campaign because Rawlinson will own this, but it’s for Luke Williams to realise he’s not always the best option.

This decision lacks perspective. Germany is not that bad; they’re experiencing what other major nations are going through, such as Italy, who are lacking in most departments. They have a good pool of players to choose from. My argument would be the management decisions prior to this appointment. They need to make a long-term decision and stick with it, because otherwise, they will fluctuate between good and bad, but not be the Germany that used to dominate.

It’s going to be a big clash for both teams. I read little into comments from managers about players missing games or what their fans think. You don’t go 2nd by fluke; they have a decent manager and are one of the strongest teams in this league. I still think we pip them in terms of quality though. On paper, we may be stronger, but their team may have a better understanding of each other despite being relegated.

Dan Crowley is absolutely amazing. He’s a very talented player that shows pure quality when he’s in form. I don’t think he’s had a bad game so far, but he can be quiet and average at times, but you would expect that from any player at times.

Adam Chicksen all day long. Giving Will Randall the start is firstly risky and secondly something that really goes against what Luke Williams says. I would be disappointed because Chicksen hasn’t done anything wrong. It’s just that Jodi Jones is such a game-changer that he pips him to the starting position. This is the chance for Chicksen to showcase why he should be getting more minutes.

I think MK Dons fans tend to be negative as it is. If they are not winning games, then they seem wary of everything. Most didn’t come from when Wimbledon collapsed, no matter what they say. I wouldn’t read too much into what their fans think. It’s like someone judging Twitter as the majority of Notts fans’ opinions back before we got promoted. I trust they will make a game of it. They won’t be easy, but I feel Notts has the quality to do well. I think on paper we do have a stronger squad, but they may be stronger as a team.

It’s great to see that Luke Williams, the manager of Notts County, has been nominated for the League Two Manager of the Month award. This nomination is a reflection of the hard work and performance of the entire team. The team’s resilience after a tough start to the season is commendable, and their strong performances at home, with the support of their fans, have certainly contributed to their success. Facing tough opponents like MK Dons is always a challenge, but it’s encouraging to see that the team is confident in their abilities. Jodi Jones’ call-up to the national squad is fantastic news for both him and the club. Macaulay Langstaff has been a key player for the team this season, bringing energy and goal-scoring threat as a dedicated striker. Despite being top of the league, Luke wisely cautions against getting too carried away and advises focusing on continuing to improve. Luke Williams’ thoughts provide an interesting insight into the mindset of the team as they continue their successful season. Congratulations to Luke and the entire Notts County team on their achievements so far!

It’s funny how this would have been considered state-of-the-art training and something that improved players. Seeing people falling over as they jump through it seems less military-drilled and more relaxed, but still not casual enough to take a stroll. Unlike the video @Chris shared.

@Fan of Big Tone Yes, @liampie is our designated driver. We have been to all the games so far - league games, that is. Fans at home should rally behind this and watch it at home, inviting friends and family over. Back the lads from your place!

Macaulay Langstaff is a star, and I am pleased that he has extended his stay and started to find the back of the net. His form has been impressive because he never stops running, and from reading and hearing his thoughts, he comes across as a very likeable person. It’s also nice to see him acknowledging the support; he’s spot on about the atmosphere being electric, and I am eager to see it remain this way. If he can find the net against MK Dons and the lads bring home the points, I will be very happy.

Winning at home instills belief for away games, and becoming hard to beat comes down to focus, energy, and quality. I believe we possess all three of these attributes at the moment, but the match against MK Dons will be crucial. It’s a good time to be playing them, as our away support is immense. I think it’s even better than our support at home games. We are united, and even though the Pavis Stand has started to join in, and I do love watching games at Meadow Lane, it feels different away from home - it’s a very special feeling. Luke Williams is right in saying that winning at home helps encourage support on the road, but having our home ground as a fortress will be an important factor come the end of the season for securing vital points.
