I still don't feel that our problems are solely with our defenders, but instead, the way we play. If the owners want us to play a high risk game, then yes, they need to buy high calibre defenders and...
Spot on - it's the Peter Principle of football!
I think you've touched on something in your last paragraph - who is telling them to do this? That's where the 'clear out' needs to be.
I'm not advocating route one football, but no fancy stuff in...
This - well said. As I've said before, some Notts fans think that we are the last bastion for the way football 'should' be played. I'd take effective football over technical football anytime.
Would that to Lur him Pak to Denmark though?
Aren't Morecambe the victims of a similar Munto experience?
There's two types of diving though. Some players to do it to get something positive for their team - like you said. The other is because they just aren't up to it, or their head isn't in the right...
For me in a heartbeat. Langstaff is still a little green and by the time/if he gets his trade off to a tee, he won't be at Notts County. Langstaff doesn't seem to do it in the big games for some...
Didn't he write it in conjunction with Tom Daley?
Thank you Old Pie. You're first paragraph couldn't have said what I meant, better.
Are some people on here 'text' blind. I NEVER said that Chesterfield were better than us over the season - show me where I said that. FFS!
For the final time, in my opinion, on the day, at...
What I said is that there was no divine right for Notts to get promoted. They didn't do well enough (according to the rules) during the regular season to get promoted automatically, they squeezed...
The stats? The stats this season for many of Notts' games show how well we have played, but the results show a different thing. I, like you watched the Play Off final, and in my opinion,...
Bit of a silly statement. The rules don’t say that the second placed team deserves to go up so they will. I didn’t think Notts were a patch on Chesterfield until the penalties.
A once in a life...
Lets face it, since the Brothers took control, none of their managerial appointments have high profile/high cost. No, I can't prove that they aren't high cost, but in the realms of reasonableness...
When changing jobs though, you have to be honest with yourself and your abilities. Apart from the fact that Wealdstone and Notts both played football in the National League, there wasn't much else...
There's lots of 'Bs' in there.
I reckon that that is every Notts County player with a B in their name :P.
The problem is that the system that has been adopted at Notts, doesn't allow for defenders who's sole attribute is tough tackling. Even our goalkeepers have to be footballers.
If you bring in...
God man, you talk some sense.
It could be that Williams was a better motivator and had more respect. Everyone is talking about individual mistakes, but it is the coach's job to minimize that from...
Wow, did you even read what I wrote? I'm not defending SM as manager. In fact from the start I believed it was a terrible appointment. He is as much to blame though for accepting the role.

I think LW jumped from a sinking ship. The signs were there that the tactics were being sussed out and although the players could play that way in the NL, it wasn't going to work long term in L2.

Absolutely nailed it. We would never know for certain, but I'm with UTM with this.
The Brothers may have thought, we'll give him a go, because he'd be grateful for the step up and with all we...
We’re both entitled to our views. I don’t believe we need a mass clear out. One of us is probably right.
Everyone is blaming the players. I don’t believe they are to blame. The system that they are being asked to play is the problem.
Then you need to ask, is it Maynard who sets the game plan or...
