    Gloomster It's a word used to describe someone who is habitually pessimistic or prone to dwelling on negative aspects of situations. The Gloomsters need to realise the only thing that matters is the score after two legs against Wimbledon. Why affect the clubs future success, by wallowing in past gloom that can't be changed. COYP

    You're very naive if you believe what's posted on here affects the club's future. You don't seem to understand what is being said on here by the majority of posters, it's a forum for discussion and opinions, finding out what others think about situations around Notts. If you're unable to accept that we don't all agree on everything then maybe this board isn't the best place for you.

    As I've said before, I didn't used to be a gloomster until my Dad took me down to Meadow Lane all those years ago. That's what trying to support Notts has done to me. Other clubs were available.

    In the promotion poll thread I said I don't think we'll get promotion and we're not ready for League One yet, but that doesn't make me a 'gloomster'. I also acknowledged that we have significantly improved our position this season, but being realistic we're not at the stage where we're ready for the next step yet, similar to the way we have a couple of play-off failures before we finally became ready and got promoted from the National League. That's my realistic opinion and I wouldn't mind being wrong, but I'm not going to "shut it" just because hearing other views apparently gets to you.
    100% It all feels very Burchnall, some promise, some nice play, but every time its got to the nitty gritty - not quite the mentality to get over the line.

    Need a midfield rebuild and probably a change of shape in summer as it seems we've been worked out now.

    Often impassioned and very often, in the heat of the moment after a limp effort by the team which under Maynard, have been far to regular in front of the home fans in particular.

    Home form cost us promotion, 'fortress Meadow Lane', the draw bridge is too often down and the Knights appear to be sleeping.

    I blame Sir Cadian-Rhythm.

    Observerpie's poll - Promotion or not. What's the point!

    Fortunately, the 30 people who represent this 87% saying no, are only a fraction of the 5,000 views.

    The mind set has to be positive from the fans. Any griping about what's gone before in the season is completely irrelevant.

    My advice to all gloomsters is shut it until after the season is over.
    First time on NCM?

    To my knowledge, every single poster on this board is a legitimate Notts fan and wants the club to do well. Nobody revels in the club failing to fulfill its significant potential.

    There are lots of differing views on here, which in my opinion, is utterly healthy. I may not agree with certain posters and I very much enjoy healthy debate with those i disagree with.

    I may not like things certain posters say, but I would defend their opportunity to express those views to the end.

    Agree, apart from people who think Maynards any good, I wouldnt bother defending them.

    I suggest you reconsider your post.
    I like many others watch Notts home and away. We sing and support our team vociferously. However, this board is exactly the place to vent our frustration and views.
    If you do not appreciate that then you are as thick as mince.
