The one thing we know is that we can’t afford to go down again and risk the academy funding. In that sense, this season was a free hit for SM, but he can’t expect the same next season if the results...

I agree with you - 86 goals against is horrific. But the weird thing when you look at the table is that every team from 11th on down ended up with a negative goal difference except for us (plus 3)....

I just don’t see many teams with the necessary funds to buy JJ or Macca - assuming that no Championship team comes in for either of them. Jodi’s been a joy to watch, but he can’t defend well enough...

That would be incredibly reasonable if true (no offence to your source, Durham), given the general rise in prices since last year.

I thought they said it would be a bit later than that, but no official date offered. It was noticeable at the open training day that he and Baj were still doing very basic fitness work away from the...

If we can trust the BBC formations information, it does feel like 4-2-3-1 is more popular than 3-5-2 these days. By playing two genuine full backs, it would hopefully redress the attack/defence...

Great post. I’m sure this Wednesday’s forum will prove illuminating, because for the first time there is some frustration about how the season went downhill. It will be interesting to hear the...

It would be great if that game were winner take all, because Burnley are everything Forest are not as a side - attack-minded and fun to watch. They deserved to beat Man Utd yesterday, but share...

Like Jones, Crowley has one year left on his contract. It would be bad business to let them leave for nothing at the end of next season, so it will be interesting to see what happens this summer.

I agree with you on both points - swap the two halves of the season around and we’d be feeling a lot more upbeat about next season. And when we needed our big players to step up, they didn’t (Macca...

I hope so, but as we’ve seen with Scott, it’s going to take a while for him to get back to his best. I’m sure the club will be nursing him back carefully, though.

It’s not quite accurate to say we didn’t turn up against the top 7 - we played well away at Stockport, Wrexham and Mansfield, but lost by the odd goal each time. Crewe (where we also could have got...

The point is if you think a season like this is a reason not to renew your season ticket, you clearly weren’t around when we were truly dire and the entertainment value was pretty much zero.

Maybe a few have grown too accustomed to us winning most of our home games over the past five seasons. I just find the “not renewing my season ticket” response rather laughable.

Macca winning the golden boot seems to have gone a little under the radar - 70 goals in two seasons really is a remarkable achievement.

I did see something on X the other day (so it must be true)...

I’m reserving judgement until we have better midfielders alongside him like a fully fit Palmer and a replacement for JOB/Bostock.

Bad news for Scunny after the money they seemed to be spending at the start of the season, including on Cal Roberts. I’m sure Fitzsimons is fed up of penalty shootouts after the last two seasons.

They’ve never expressed “buy cheap and sell on” as a club policy. Their philosophy is all about finding gems like Macca, Jodi Jones and Cal Roberts, in effect paying under the odds for quality...

Being announced on Monday. Not sure why it’s so late, but maybe there’s some marketing hook they’ll be revealing?

Why? How many boring games were there at Meadow Lane this season? If people are coming to watch Notts because they think we’re going to win every game, they should probably go and watch Man City...

I was one of the five who predicted 12th-15th and cited our dodgy defence as a likely big problem. I do think we might have finished higher if Luke Williams had stayed, but that’s football.

It’s going to take time to progress up the leagues (ask Mansfield), so why the histrionics? This season has petered out rather badly, but I trust the owners to learn from their mistakes and get us...

3-1 to Notts, Macca hat-trick. 979 Notts fans wondering what might have been without that disastrous run of home defeats.

Hope so too - I didn’t have time to visit the Frank Sidebottom statue last year.

You’d imagine quite a few games will only be available via Sky’s streaming service rather than the conventional sports channels, especially as they “promise” to broadcast all 93 Carabao Cup matches...
