    At least I know what a Gloomster is now.

    A Gloomster is a realist who can see what's actually happening, rather than burying their head in the sand and hoping it will all turn out ok if we post positive things and clap happily together.

    Not a realist, that would be the middle ground.

    Anyhow, on to 2025/26 we go

    Yeah, and will we be OK keeping Maynard, he'll turn it round? Is that the 'optimistic' view or the head in the sand view? A realist would say he has to go, and that would also be the optimistic view, because you know we can only improve with a better manager.

    I'm not buying into seeing Notts as a basket case who should be grateful just to survive in League 2 as optimistic. It's as miserable as sin.

    Not for me, as an eternal optimist I hope a new head coach can bring us success.
