Don't think we'd have hit 47k last year with Chesterfield but the train strikes really did make it a lot less appealing to go for casual fans, the coach prices got ridiculous too.

I wonder if he's on such a wage that it's unrealistic to unload him with 2 years still to go? We won't have had many options when we brought him in so he could have got himself a (relatively) good deal. Not ideal obviously if that is the case. Could also be that they're waiting to see what...

Fair, I just want some balance, I don't think we can go in with both him and Jones in most games unless we're playing a more defensive/strong central midfield. If Jodi gets a move then I would go with Nemane to start with Chicksen or another more traditional wing back.

Notts' retained list is out: https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2024/april/2023-24-retained-list-290424/ Letting Baldwin go is one that signals some intent from the club I reckon. Still a fair amount of dead wood there, I suspect we'll be lucky if the three transfer listed lads are in demand...

We'd failed 4 times in 5 seasons before last year, if that helps.

A slight increase at Notts, renewals at £325 behind the goals or £405 down the side, £350 and £430 for early bird new purchasers. https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2024/april/2024-25--season-tickets-240424/ No direct attempt to appeal to supporters priced out across the river but I think...

Back to back to back, I think - believe he was top scorer in NLN the season before as well.

It does matter how much Chicksen is on, no doubt. If he's being paid like a starter then we could almost certainly get better for the money. If we'd have to cover some of his wages to get rid and then spend more on a replacement I don't think it should be a priority, is essentially what I'm saying.

Teach the lads how to not give away double the number of pens as anyone else in the division, that's 8 goals already.

I will not defend his Instagram nonsense, but Chicksen is absolutely fine as a backup imo. He's not got enough creation going forward but if we're playing a winger on the other side of the pitch that's not the end of the world, I'd love to have 2 great options at all positions but is it realistic?

Need to score 7 more goals than Stockport and make sure Forest Green stay within 6 to win the real quiz. Unlikely, but I'm sure everyone agrees we deserve this particular record.

Donny giving Sutton a chance here?

Agree with this broadly, I would be open to keeping Baldwin on a reduced role - it seems like it'll be hard to find someone to be play 10 games a season who will fit the system well, but he'd have to be up for that and given his issue seems to be concentration I don't think only playing...

Yeah I can't argue with you there. You never know, they don't consult EFL clubs on lots of things these days...

Well, the difference is with only two promotion places it's more likely to fail, and with that you might see teams feeling as though they have to spend more to "guarantee" it, putting them in a bigger hole if they fail. No arguments on your other points though, the Championship is complete...

I do see this argument but for me it's as much about the sides that hover around the bottom of L2 for years as it is the quality of teams coming up. It might need more thought around supporting teams that go down, but then if it's not as hard to come back up then that might not be needed. On...

I might be reading it wrong but I don't think it even addresses the fixture congestion issue that well anyway - they're going to have cup games on weekends with no PL clashes, so that will only push those league games to midweek, and they're starting later and getting rid of the winter break...

I'd be surprised if we go "full Bradford" (obviously would be delighted) but there is definitely a huge opportunity, particularly with those 18-23s who have seen theirs go up 400% or whatever it is. I was genuinely gutted when they went up, I thought it was really bad news for Notts but it's...

Good explanation of how far away we are really, the quality you had missing as well as coming off the bench and we had to recall a defender from Boston United to fill the bench with about 4 injuries.

We've just got nothing with so few players willing/able to put a shift in and against a really good team it showed. The defence is a calamity waiting to happen at all times but they got nothing from those in front of them, Langstaff and Austin aside. I believe in the style of play if we get...
