A very un-Notts signing which actually makes it a very Notts signing. Still expect us to sign another centre-back, so at least having one that is big and can head a ball is better than none that are big and can head a ball

After having 3 terrible senior goalkeepers last season, our big brain move for 24/25 is to avoid them completely and play a child in goal. We’re linked with a loan for 17 year old Sunderland keeper Matty Young.

Sbarra couldn’t be a more obvious Notts signing. I don’t actually think we’re flush with attacking midfielders anyway, Crowley’s great obviously and Sam Austin is bang average at best for me so he could be an upgrade there. Just depends on what his health is like and if he can get back to where...

Obviously a bit sad about O’Brien, Bostock and Baldwin but all correct decisions. I’d be surprised if Jim keeps going, Bostock’s legs have gone unfortunately and I kind of expect Baldwin to be a good signing for someone, clearly a good player but you just can’t be at fault for the number of...

Everyone criticises ‘modern football’ and how quick teams are to sack managers but good god, the level of job security Maynard has given what he’s done since coming in is something else. I hope the owners have a contingency for if we start next season as bad as we’ve ended this one or we might...

Langstaff farewell sub. Goodbye King.

How is Darren Drysdale still getting away this?

There will never be another team like this Notts side. We’ve set some records that will never be broken. Goals, penalties and vibes baby

Very naive view this, wins and points are a construct the bureaucrats at the EFL want you to respect. We respect possession based stats only and our underlying metrics indicate we aren’t ‘bad’, simply ‘unlucky’. We shouldn’t change, the entire sport should

Doesn’t count, he was against Richard Brindley Never has a man given off bigger loser energy than Stuart Maynard. It’s the only way I can describe it, I have no constructive criticism for him, he is just simply an obvious loser when it comes to football

Stockport doing us a favour here and ensuring any good will towards our defenders has evaporated. Thankyou for your service and good luck in League 1

I think if you put all 3 of our keepers in goal and pretended it was one player they still collectively wouldn’t have got in the team of the season

Is this you practicing things you’re going to say next season when Super Paul Mullin isn’t living in Langstaff’s shadow for once?

It’s all basically a tax fiddle so there’s not much to take the moral high ground on. Other than the general principle of lower agent fees signal lower budget etc… as the two are highly correlated. Clubs basically pay agents on the players’ behalf these days, it gets taxed as a benefit in kind...

Well done Wrexham. The fairytale continues! Hard not to be annoyed with this Notts team even when we win, 7 points off the playoffs in the context of our season just proves we’ve underachieved but there we go. Maybe some positive signs under Maynard but think the summer will just be one big...
