POST-MATCH | WEMBLEY WIN | LUKE WILLIAMS

[@Jordothecat98]

Chesterfield fan here absolutely heartbroken have shed a few tears but I can’t begrudge you, you’ve had a great season and your manager is sheer class. All the best

[@12cricketmad]

Class comment, thanks! will be cheering on Chesterfield for the title next season!

[@lesleyfarnsworth9551]

What an incredible coach

[@u.k.trainandbusvids]

Chesterfield will be promoted next season there firm favourites for promotion no play offs just automatic promotion

[@ralph2883]

You'll win the league next season, all the best, your fans were a credit to you yesterday

[@jamesprentice6704]

Thank you. Best of luck next season to Chesterfield

[@ste6473]

CONGRATULATIONS Notts from a Chesterfield fan

[@dannffc]

Well Done Pies! We are blessed in Nottingham to have Cooper and Williams. Both Top Men!

[@gaetano.4230]

Congratulations from a Juve fan, you are part of our history and we always remember you. Come on Notts County and Juve 🤍🖤

[@nigeltrueman6101]

This man blows me away with his humbleness. no other coach would recognise the two previous coaches as reasons for his success. He has bought the fans together and i know we will be in or around the play off places or in the automatic places next season.

[@habbinlad1]

As a Cambridge United fan with Notts sympathies, that is one hell of an interview by Luke Williams. Outstanding 👏👏

[@Hartley_Hare]

Thanks, gaffer. It's been a bloody awful few months for me, but Notts have kept me going.

[@sebastiantovarmarquez1902]

Welcome back Notts, awesome performance, wishing you the best from a Juve fan! ❤

[@1971RobM]

Mr Luke Williams is a class act. Humble, intelligent, character. We are so lucky that he guides us and you can see it with the players, how they feel about him.

[@ian52296]

He was singing "I had a wheelbarrow" as he got his award. Thank you luke, fantastic notts. Well played bring on league 2

[@edcoyp]

What an absolute legend. It's the most genuine interview I've even seen. Thanks to all staff and team. Up the Notts. Wembley was buzzing. Sore throat, could not keep quiet. The fans turned up, and when the masses got quiet.. pockets of chanting carried on. Everyone was involved in this promotion. Worlds oldest professional football league club.

[@Adam-rp6vf]

Amazing manager, hope County push forward and get back to back promotions. From a Forest fan

[@v1sionary100]

What an incredible man, best manager for years and best owners for decades 🥰

[@BenWilsonuk1]

Im a wrexham fan but how our guy parky won manager of the year over this guy i dont know

[@garethedwards5159]

@@BenWilsonuk1 It's pretty simple, we won the league whilst breaking the points record, so it had to go to Parky in my opinion. As a Wrexham supporter, I really like Luke Williams, he's a top manager (and seems like a great guy too) and had they pipped us to top spot, he would have won it and deservedly so, I'd have had no complaints with him winning the award if it had went that way.

[@BenWilsonuk1]

@Gareth Edwards Yeah, all fair enough points...but i prefer to look at end product vs budget... notts almost as good as us on lesser budget.... or boreham wood manager always doing a top job as well etc

[@garethedwards5159]

@@BenWilsonuk1 Yeah I know where you're coming from, (this is just my opinion) but the trouble is is that approach is more subjective, as you could argue for example that a manager who has saved their semi-pro club from relegation deserves it even more so than any club higher up the table with more resources, whereas I think basing awards on objective, tangible achievements is a better approach, it's more clear cut with no subjectivity, hence why Langstaff was well deserving of his award, he scored the most goals and that's that.

[@stubailey9433]

Get this man a pint! Respect from a Wrexham fan.

[@zman2205]

The best manager we’ve had since Sir Jimmy. Deserves a statue for this season alone ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

[@ricardoarzamendi6237]

I'm totally given in soul to this 100+ points story of Notts and Wrexham. The gods of football gave us a once in a lifetime story with them this year. All the best to both!

[@nickmanning3913]

Congratulations from Canada!!! What a game.

[@michaelsmith6313]

Class interview as always from Luke Williams. Wrexham and Notts County will improve the quality of League 2.

[@keithcooke2607]

How great is our manager- giving tribute to previous managers. LOve you Luke

[@LennonPlays]

What a genuinely incredible human being. Beyond happy to have him at my club.

[@junglistdon]

Congratulations County, more than deserved over the season.

[@ChoiceEnvironments]

Wrexham fan here to CONGRATULATE NOTTS COUNTY!!! You deserve it. What a season. We’re gonna tell our kids and grandkids about this season.

[@jbjb-li2wx]

Congratulations, see you in League Two!

[@SouthwestTee62]

Thank you Gaffer. First year in the job and you take us back to the EFL. We will be forever thankful. You don’t know what you’ve done for us and the city. Luke Williams ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ army!!! Get innnnn!!! ❤❤

[@trevorrobinson8577]

This has to be the best post match interview I have seen with Luke. For him to pay homage to previous managers Neal Ardley and Ian Birchenhall says everything about the man.

[@hertsman0]

Luke Williams is a fantastic manager and right to say this all started under Neil Ardley . So pleased for all at the club. WELL DONE

[@captainc0ckwash]

Bloody love this man! Take it easy boss have a nice holiday with the missis and one with the boys, you've working so hard and you fully deserve it

[@pompeyfitnessjames6298]

WREXHAM FAN HERE, WELL DONE NOTTS YOU DESERVE IT! FROM A WREXHAM FAN. DID I MENTION THAT I A WREXHAM FAN. TA TA

[@judithhume9047]

Very well done Sir...to you and all the lads! Thank you. David

[@adamlowe7618]

What a man. What a season

[@benwassyt]

Luke Williams, legend. THANk YOU! What a season.

[@debbiecrisp6872]

Yes!!!!! Notts never make it easy for themselves or their long-suffering fans, but we are finally back where we belong thanks to this incredible guy! Love you Luke Williams, love you Notts County 😍🖤🤍 What a rollercoaster ride, but loved every minute of it (except for the penalties!) Well done to everyone and thanks to Archie Mair for being a hero when it mattered so much!

[@ianbirchnall5672]

Thanks gaffer ❤

[@MarcusRoberto]

Amazing words from the gaffer, specially crediting Ian and Neil for the buildup until Notts promotion. Amazing humility (although today he made some mistakes).

[@johnwheat5199]

Williams really deserves this, the decision to substitute Slocombe shows what he's made of. My biggest worry, can we keep him?

[@JohnDoe-cf7jr]

Nice interview with the Gaffer Nick 👍🏼

[@dandownnotts]

Absolute legend!

[@19555]

Love you luke

[@ahbs]

Many thanks gaffer! You’re an absolute inspiration to us all and a star ⭐️ 🖤🤍

[@cliterally1791]

As the most obnoxious kind of fan there is, an American who saw the Wrexham documentary, the lower leagues have hooked me and I would have been gutted if Notts didnt make it through

[@kayparkin2321]

Well done to Everyone at Notts county they deserve the Best of Everything Great to Be back where we belong ❤

[@stephenpritchett7920]

Our boss and his team are the best since Jimmy and Neil back in the day and our owners all top top of the shop Luke is pure class and his comment`s about our last managers Neil and Ian were spot on .Well done to ALL to the staff down "The Lane" Onwards and upwards U Pies

[@captainc0ckwash]

Just watched the goals back, Ruben's shot was quality such a quick thinker

[@jimhopewell7246]

What a Great Guy just hope they all stick together and just one thing stop making it hard for themselves and the fans ( think had some pace across the back ) and all will be well CONGRATULATIONS LADS AND THE CLUB SEE YOU NEXT SEASON ,PLUS ALSO TO WREXHAM AND THE OWNERS

[@geoffgeorge3685]

Top dude. Top team.

[@clj.4874]

Fair play to notts county, considering langstaff went missing in both play off games, done incredible well to have got promoted. Again late goals are game changers and happened in both play off games. Well deserved, the two best teams in the league go up and no one can complain, it was the right result and the right outcome that the best 2 teams in the division have got promoted.

[@Purewalite]

Very unlucky against BW with a shot on the turn that went narrowly wide. Missed his 1 chance in the final but scored his penalty.

[@clj.4874]

@@Purewalite you been very generous here, he was crap in reality in both games, missed the odd chance he did have and they were quite easy to hit the target, and was like a ghost throughout the games. Be interesting to see what he does in div 2, if he stays that is.

[@garethedwards5159]

In fairness to Langstaff he's seems like the type of player who needs service, and he didn't really get much of it in both play off games, as Notts played pretty poorly by their standards, combined the the opposition throwing everything at it with them not having anything to lose.

[@clj.4874]

@@garethedwards5159 Nemane would have something to say about this, the crosses he was putting in. Rodrigues was at the heart of everything. Truth is langstaff was dealt easily by the opposition defenders, and chances he did have, he missed. Good thing for notts county, was the scouts watching could not have been too impressed, he failed to even get involved in both play off games really. Certainly has not impressed in 3 big games now ( wrexham, boreham wood and chesterfield ) and gone missing.

[@garethedwards5159]

@@clj.4874 Well we'll agree to disagree. I think you're being a little harsh, because to me, 3 games, even big games, over the course of a season and more, is really nothing. All goal scorers go through barren spells. In my view, you can't really say he goes missing in big games on the back of just 3 big games, especially after the season he's had. If it's a recurring thing over the course of a number of seasons, then fair enough.

[@harleynorman256]

Give him a life long contract

[@mileskirkland2809]

This man can do no wrong!!

[@neilbissett1240]

What an honest interview 👏👏😎

[@paulberry2884]

Luke owes me money for heart medication.

[@sabretooth8056]

Luke is up there with Notts County best managers in my lifetime..( warnock and Sirrel )hes only been in the job a year...He is the foundation for everything and recognising everyone for the part they played past and present is pure class....... although the last 2 games have probably took years off my life it is definitely worth it....need to start giving away blood pressure monitors with season tickets i reckon.....😂 Yoooooooouuuuuuu piiiiiiiieeeeeesssssss.....!!!❤❤

[@squinugie2091]

Both Nottingham sides have brilliant and very humble coaches. It bodes very well for the future.

[@bobstephens6655]

As a Wrexham supporter it was great to go to Wembley yesterday and support Notts County and see them win. They did it the hard way - Chesterfield had a great game plan which Notts County did not seem to be able to adjust to. However, the second half and most of added time was really Notts County but they could not find a way through. Well done and looking forward to seeing you at the Racecourse in 2023 - 24.

[@2wheelsgood.]

On Luke’s appointment the initial reaction of many was who? And how a man of greater experience was needed. But the owners had done their homework, and what a manager we now have. He has attained legendary status in bringing us home. Personally a part of me would happily settle for mid-table obscurity next season, safe in the knowledge that we’re back, but the cushion of League One status should be the motivation to kick on next season. COYP.

[@jimkhana007]

Well done Notts County, Should have been eligible for automatic promotion but congrats and well done for doing it the hard way 👏👏👏

[@hangforh6320]

thank you so much luke. top man, top squad, top club, top owners. thank you so much all

[@nigelhammond9234]

Brilliant Luke!

[@liberisempre]

FORZA.

Congratulations on returning to EFL Next season your back in EFL Cup, moving up a rank in FA cup from 4th Qualifying round to 1st round and of course back in EFL Trophy you’ll start in Northern group with two League One teams or League One and another League Two club and a U21s side I’ve seen Notts County 3 times Fa Cup, two EFL Trophy games one of which was Sunderland U21s vs Notts County my first one other two was also against Sunderland

You bloody beautiful bastards

[@PaulWalters-o5y]

His vision was to clear off at the first offer.

[@steverichards575]

A lesson in a pointless promotion idea . This team should have been given auto promo. Why on earth is this league governed to only one team going up . If county had lost this match they would have had every reason to feel cheated. Come on EFL . Sort this shambles out . 2 up and 4 on a playoff .

[@garethedwards5159]

Yeah agreed, especially as all but 3 sides in the NL this season are fully professional. EFL will always be reluctant to change it though, I think it will probably only happen if there is some sort of crisis in the future which prompts a bit of an overhaul of the whole system.

[@TeamBabylon-dp2xf]

What was Bostock thinking with that penalty?! Should of smashed his boot through it, what an idiot. I wont be to hard on him as his goal did save them from losing in normal time.

[@bluewool2782]

Can’t believe he didn’t ask Luke about the Panenka missed penalty from Bostock..🫣🥴

[@andrewblatherwick8758]

I'll forgive him now. For 120 minutes he put on a midfield masterclass.

[@carolewhiting4348]

What a great guy, you and your entire team, staff and players deserve everything you've achieved 🖤🤍

[@bonsachbocail804]

Fantastic and absolutely deserved after that season! ❤ Fantastic manager - genuine, down-to-earth man that brought us back to the football league! Had a good feeling after his first interview at the club! 😊 Season was incredible, play-offs were just insane! COYP! 🖤🤍 Edit: of course big thanks to the owners! They saved us years ago, when they took over, they understood that this is a really tough league, but they stayed calm and realistic. This is also your success!

[@joebranston738]

We need defenders.

[@joebranston738]

Matty Palmer

[@joebranston738]

Big up Williams for giving Ardley and Burchnall props.

[@raymondmunroe5459]

Defence and slocombe need replacing they are terrible and have caused Notts to lose important points this season. Make Mair number 1 keeper next season.
