Milsom straight in!

Milsom straight in!

Well that defence is the stuff of nightmares

[Bohinen]

Why can't they release the team sheet with the players in order. Keeper then defenders then midfield, etc. I takes ages to figure the team out.

Can we figure the formation out at all? We have 6 midfield players.

3-4-3?

-----------------------Fitzsimons

Hewitt ---------------Brisley-------------Jones

Hawkridge ---- Milsom-----Vaughan----Alessandra

Dennis -------------Hemmings----------Bouldewijn

Maybe a 4-4-2 with Hawk at RB and Hewitt at CB? Still, that's about as makeshift as a defence can get.

Brief summary of what Hardy said....


Evident from meeting after Newport that board had lost confidence in Nolan but felt they owed him Lincoln game.
Performance more than the result at Lincoln was the factor.
Nolan wasn't the same Kevin Nolan that came into the club during pre-season.
5 that came in summer were all Nolans choices. He didn't want to sign any defenders.
Kewell - plays sort of game that Hardy wants to see Notts play, brilliant coach, won't divulge compensation sum,
20,000 miles on his car this week, 8 managers interviewed, Bowyer impressive but not ready to come back.
Lost directors. John has been friends for 15 years and also close to Nolan and felt awkward, important friendships stayed in tact but Hardy not happy about the twitter post he made, Fletcher (who was helping with recruitment) has a lot of other commitments. Harry Kewell was top of Fletchers list so that's not why he went.
Hardy made a lot of contacts in football since becoming chairman.
Sunday 10am announcement for technical director.
Paul Hart no.1 academy manager in the country, Paul's a great guy but he's at Luton.
Loan players who didn't sign at last minute circumstances changed, one players wife having baby, another to Championship, it was a bad Friday. Didn't want to bring in players for the sake of it, talking to players out of contract next week.

Word on Twitter is it's 4-3-3, according to Radio Red

Could be worse, apart from the defence

So does this mean it's not PH then (there is hope!)?

That made me laugh ! Nice one.

He didn't rule him out and clearly rated him, but the fact he added at the end that he's at Luton seemed to imply that it wouldn't be him, he also mentioned that Hart would be at Luton's game today.

Going back to the director John (?)Evener(?) Hardy did say that he'd told him that he was disappointed in his tweet but they are grown ups and everything is fine between them.
