Congratulations
@Wrexham_AFC
regardless of the media sideshow & the money the players still have to make it happen on the pitch & like their die hard fans deserve this moment.
Never been prouder of our boys who have pushed themselves & Wrexham so hard, one last push lads 👊⚫️⚪️
Here’s an interesting stat, working on 90 mins per game, when Mark Ellis headed home that winner yesterday he was playing minute 1862 of his
#notts
career so far.
Got final tickets, thought the whole process was pretty smooth, less than 5 hours and only took 3 of us on 6 devices, don’t know what all the fuss is about 🤷♂️
Whatever happens come 5pm, what Luke Williams, his coaching staff & players have achieved this season is already nothing short of incredible.
Records broken & some of the best football I have seen from a
#notts
team in over 45 years down The Lane.
Just brilliant!

Some comments I’ve seen online regarding Maynard are quite simply juvenile & without substance.
Since the home defeat to Mansfield LW managed 18 points from 14 games which included 8 defeats.
Results were already in decline, defensive issues ingrained, give the bloke a chance.
This season definitely has the feeling of something special about it.
I know pessimism is the default setting for
#notts
fans but right now I’m feeling so much more confident for the future of this club and the journey the Bros are taking us all on.

Interestingly the only player in the Forest starting 11 last night who didn’t have experience at Championship level or higher was Aaron Donnelly, the others had nearly 50,000 hours between them not including cup games.

If Nemane has gone I wish him well. He had a fantastic season for us and kept us in the play offs with that unbelievable last ditch interception in the BW semi.
#notts
Sam Slocombe has played more NL minutes than any other player in the league this season (3023). He has the most clean sheets (12) and is the only keeper to record an assist.
Percentile rankings compared to all NL GK’s with 1000 mins or more.

Jimmy Knowles is currently Notts’ most efficient goal contributor being involved in a goal every 65.75 mins.
When JK is on the pitch Notts score a goal every 40.46 minutes.
When JK isn’t on the pitch Notts score every 71.79 minutes.
Goal machine?

Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere but if my maths is right 😬 yesterday’s game was a milestone 100th competitive match in charge for Neal Ardley …
#notts
P100 | W44 | D24 | L32
F 143 | A 114 | PTS 156
PPG 1.56 | Win% 44.00
So that’s it then. End of an era.
Cant lie I was close to needing the extra strong tissues watching that farewell interview.
For the last time … here are Luke’s numbers for his time at

The Barnet game will be Ian Burchnall’s 50th match as Head Coach at

Currently 4th highest league and P/O win% for 10+ games in charge of playing matters for Notts at 48%
Only bettered by Steve Cotterill (2010), Jimmy McMullan (1936-37) & Jimmy Sirrel (1969-75).
As fans we have a job to do over the next couple of months. We’ll have players filling in and others playing out of position. Let’s make sure we are behind them and maybe just reevaluate our expectations a little. Get to Jan then go again ⚫️⚪️💪
Just starting the stats report for yesterday’s win over Altrincham. Standout stat so far, over 1,000 passes between the two teams and with a combined accuracy of just over 88% is a testament to the quality of football played by both clubs. 👏👏

Was a great team effort but I just want to take a moment to appreciate what Adam Chicksen has done since getting back in the team, his ball control, calmness and vision is actually really good and we are finally seeing the “pedigree” we were hearing about when he signed.
One thing really made me smile last night, the Stockport co-commentator assuming that Michael Doyle would fade as the game went on due to his age, then admitting he was wrong at the end. 😂 Should also add the

skipper has now played the most minutes this season 💪
Stat teaser …
#notts
have averaged 37 dangerous attacks in the first 7 games this season.
Last night the total number of dangerous attacks recorded was 92 😳
After what has been a rough week I’m really pleased to find out this morning that I successfully passed the pfsa Level 2 Opposition Analysis in Football course. The journey continues ⚽️👊
Not sure I’ve ever felt so sorry for a player as I do for Wootton recently. Has to work so hard for a sniff of anything and hardly ever gets a decision of the officials.
Absolutely over the moon to receive my certificate from
@ThePFSA
for completion of Opposition Analysis in Football Level 2. It was a fantastic and professional course which provided me with the tools and confidence to further develop my analysis skills! 👊
When we kicked off this season a play off place or promotion was just a pipe dream . Everyone knows what a huge corner has been turned over the last 12 months. Whatever happens today it won’t diminish the pride we should all have as supporters of this great club

Have watched Didzy goal a dozen times now and am still in awe of the pass to him from JJ.
He’s at full throttle yet still manages to thread the ball with pinpoint precision between the two FGR defenders.
I know it doesn’t need repeating but just oozes quality.
By running xG, recent form and opponent difficulty metrics through a poisson calculation I’ve been able to generate a top 7 final standings table for the NL based on xPTS and xGD.
Thoughts? 👇👀
Just seen the sad news regarding Colin Slater. He’s been a constant in my Notts County life since my first game in the mid 70’s right up until his retirement. We will never forget “High dropping ball!” amongst others! A sad day but a life that should be celebrated. RIP. 😥

Puts a bit of a dampener on things after a couple of good looking signings. Involved in a goal every 91 minutes played, might be small in stature but very big boots to fill! Good luck to him, St Mirren have bagged a good ‘un.
1. Still 6th
2. Still only 9 points behind leaders now with more games in hand
3. Legs rested and time to recover
Reasons to be cheerful … 1, 2, 3

Ahead of this weekends FA Trophy QF with

with 25 goals and 17 assists already this season it will be interesting to see how the Notts defence cope with Alex Akrofi 👀🔥

I reckon Matty Palmer is going to score just once this season, it will be the winning goal on Sat 7th May in front of a 19,000 sell out to win the league with a game to spare … 😬
Also, Chicksen looks absolutely ripped at the moment, has to be the most improved player since NA left, some credit to IB for that but Chicks is the one who’s turned it around, never wanted to leave the club and put in the hard yards to put things right 👊⚫️⚪️
Couple of guys from Sheff W sat next to me. Had a nice chat with them about the history of both clubs. They were blown away by the set up at
#notts
& the way we played. Suggested we would currently hold our own in L1. To think we could still be here next season is just crazy.
Ok, goal keepers
⚽️ 🧤🧤
We’ve had 3 of them between the sticks so far this season, here’s how their stats stack up … so far.
Stats per 90 mins, league only.
When I started this account some 18 months ago I never really appreciated the journey it was going to take me on. Plenty of exciting things going off in the background now and have engaged with so many fantastic people. Just amazing 🙌

Disappointing but on to Friday night, the big games keep coming, beats being in non league, still in playoffs, still plenty to work on, 6’4” target man incoming, shake it off, never stop believing.

10 points from a possible 18 in October.
A tough month but it’s done now.
Still a top 3/4 club with just under 2 thirds of the season to go.
We can still be better and I’m convinced we will be.
Keep the faith, we go again

Other than the equaliser the highlight of that first half was the Torquay fans singing “you dirty northern b**tard” to a player born some 1500 miles further south than they are 🤷♂️
Was sent this pic from a mate this morning taken back at the Tranmere play off win. Hard to accept there are a few faces in there that are no longer with us. Can’t underestimate how important it is to make the most of days like today. 🖤🤍
Now we just need KC to re-sign and put any Macca rumours to bed and we’re well on our way with or without Ruben.
Palmer, Bostock, McGoldrick, Macca, Scott, Austin, Jones, Randall so much creativity in the final third, it’s going to be a loooong summer 😩
so, halfway through the season, arguably on our worst run of form since the 18/19 relegation season, but somehow still in top 6, a good showing at the league leaders whilst missing key players and reinforcements expected in Jan.
Can’t grumble too much at that!
