Anyway i quiet like Neil Ardley
I think Notts County should stick with him for 2 or 3 seasons no matter what
Just cant understand how if they sack him in a few months, Notts County will be any better of
Absolutely correct about pre season! Hence why I had a bet on relegation after the Derby game. I got a nice 25/1 so I'm going to have a sweet grand if we do go down! It was obvious what was happening, end of last year you could see it, we had no battle in the centre, when we lost O'Connor that for me was the warning siren going off. We never replaced him or Yates and if we fail to do so in January, we are almost certainly down.
I'll also say it again, we don't have a decent keeper as well. Nolan claims that he "had" to get rid of Collin, I suspect he was told he can have all his signings or keep Collin. The fact he never replaced Collin either said to me that Nolan didn't know what he was doing. For all Collin's faults, he was twice the keeper Fitzsimons is and those two areas are in my opinion why the defence that was decent last year is so weak this year

Collin certainly had a lot more experience than fitzsimmons .
I do not think Fitzsimmons had any football league experience before he came to notts county, the way things are going he will be returning to non league where he belongs
Not sure about O conner , i agree he seems the type we need. But how many games did he play for Notts last season, seems we managed pretty well without him for long spells last year, Perhaps that is why he did not seem to important for the management
The second part of the season where we dropped away after losing Yates and O'Connor wasn't playing should have indicated to Nolan what we needed. And when O'Connor came on in the second half of the home playoff game and basically changed the momentum of the game. Sure there was concerns over his fitness but to not have a ready replacement was diabolical
I knew that would be the only thing you could respond to in that post
Let's ignore the MK Don's game and Kewell still managed 13 of our 19 points, should we have stuck with him through the bad times (that actually consisted of 3 losses and back to back draws) or do you think we should only stick with managers you like?
Nolan was the best manager he already proved that guiding us from relegation , then getting us to the play offs when the chairman would not back him last January
swindled in the play offs, and then the chairman wanted to change the style of play, and sacked him after 5 games
and why would he need defenders when it was the 3rd best last season
The club could pay a heavy price for sacking Nolan, none of following managers have shown there any better
All argumentitives come back when we are in league 1, cause only then will they be better than Nolan, but we all know its not going to happen in the foreseeable future
so all kewell supporters ... off
