Our first visit back to the scene of our demise from the league five years ago - sure to bring back painful memories for traveling fans.
It’s amazing to think that when we played them at Meadow...
He looked a bit lost against Salford, I thought, but he wasn’t alone in that regard.
Although, ironically, one of the reason the Swansea job was so attractive to LW was him being closer to family.
I thought the Notts job was always going to be a great one for the person who follows Williams’ replacement. LW was charismatic, successful and respected by players and fans alike (from very early...
The Langstaff chance at the end was a very good one, and one you’d expect an in-form Macca to take. He looked quite a frustrated figure out there yesterday.
Out at the end of the season - but the problems are much bigger than just the head coach.
I said a few weeks ago that I’d give SM four more games before making up my mind about him, and today was the fourth game. In short, he’s a nice guy who’s not up to the job.
Losing five home...
2-1 to Notts, Macca and Nemane. Att. 10,264.
Even the one he scored looked like a bit of a bobbled effort to me. Hopefully having Jatta alongside him scoring goals will take some of the pressure off him for the rest of the season.
This is the first time in a long while we’ve had 20 efforts on goal in a game, with 12 of them on target. Other than the final scoreline, this is the stat that matters most to me.
Let’s hope the...
Interesting stat. I think along with the “good defence” line, I think we also kidded ourselves that we were super-fit because most teams in the NL ran out of gas against us after 60-70 minutes. We’ve...
Is that you, Mr. Montague?
Let’s hope so, because this summer’s recruitment could make or break the club. We can’t afford to become a yo-yo club between the EFL and the NL
Every successful side also needs a great goalkeeper (Ward in 98, Schmeichel in 2010). The balance of short, skillful players in the team needs to be right as well - I’d say at least half of our team...
How many outstanding candidates were there out there? If Mike Williamson were still at Gateshead, he’s have been a shoo-in for the job (if he wanted it), and he’s now doing a great job at Franchise...
We’ve had two very entertaining games against Crawley this season, but rode our luck in both. No luck tomorrow night - 0-4, 386 angry Notts fans.
My questions would be…
What is the current Radar philosophy re transfers - because it’s been hard to discern one this season?
What are the lessons you’ve learned from the first season back in...
I do wonder how much the signing of McGoldrick upset our recruitment plans. Yes, it’s a great story of a homecoming hero, but he will be on presumably the best salary in the club, is 36 and didn’t...
It’s so odd that this side of the game has been so badly overlooked - as if physicality and athleticism don’t matter in comparison to being able to retain possession (let’s leave aside the fact that...
We also signed Colkett on loan from Crewe, but you could be forgiven for forgetting him - another January signing who wasn’t fit and defied logic when we needed someone to come in and give us an...
We’re not going up this season, we’re not going down, so I would give him the next three away games and Salford at home to turn things around. If the performances are still dire, he has to go and...
4-3 to Notts (yes, another heart over head prediction). Macca x2, Jones and Jatta. Att. 9,041.
Paul Bradshaw was in goal for Blackburn during my first-ever Notts game in 1977 - finished 0-0 and he played a blinder.
My main memory of Nicholl was him scoring all four goals in a 2-2 draw...
One thing the possession stats highlight for me is that to play this way, you need a much stronger squad, otherwise players get jaded. In the NL, we could rotate the team for midweek fixtures and not...
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and all that.
I think we’re all hoping we enjoy some success bringing players through the youth set-up in the coming years, which adds pressure on the likes...
He had a ‘mare against Maidstone in the FA Trophy, but was excellent at Altrincham when we won 2-0 and he saved a penalty.
I guess the new ethos is to try to buy players rather than bring them in...
