The Real Person to Blame?

The reason its gone wrong is that we are not very good and bought badly in the main. There really is no need for further analysis than that. We have an overpaid imbalanced squad many of whom were injury prone before they came to Notts and many of whom have relegations and failure on their resume. You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

A massive week ahead according to our illustrious leader.....it will need to be to rectify this total ***up of a situation. Pivotal week or two coming up. Is hanging, drawing and quartering still in fashion or legal?

Interesting that Burton Albion use the St George's Park facilities (and they seem to be doing OK, other than when they face Man City). Found this in their local paper from the start of the season...

Burton Albion's agreement with St George's Park for the use of the National Football Centre's facilities has helped the academy recruit better players. That's the view of Brewers academy manager Danny Robinson, who credits the home of every England football team for helping the club to integrate themselves into the centre, near Burton in Tatenhill.

"With Albion having no training ground as such and with an academy a little under a decade old, the infrastructure isn't there for the Brewers to compete with the clubs they were beating on the pitch last season in terms of facilities. Step forward St George's Park, the £105m complex opened in 2012. The home of Burton's first-team had been expanded this season to include all academy age groups.

Now, every Albion side gets to train there, creating a close-knit feel. With Joe Sbarra, Ben Fox, Matty Palmer, Reece Hutchinson all coming through the academy to feature in the first-team, the thought of the production line being aided by the facilities at St George's Park can only be a good feeling

"It's a three-year agreement," Robinson said of the current deal with the academy teams training there.

County trained at St Georges Park when Curle was manager. Is it feasible to travel that far from Nottingham? Hardy said we would have a training ground by now, we haven't. The manager is responsible for the staff and yes you are right Edwards was no fitness coach. The manager should have sorted preseason out I'm sure the other 91 managers did. But when you train on non league facilities you get non league results.

It is an hours drive (maximum) from Nottingham to St Georges Park at Burton On Trent. Many people up and down the land spend an hour travelling to work in each direction everyday in rush hour! So I don't see why a professional footballer cannot travel that far for training in the morning and come home in the afternoon where they get to use one of the best modern football facilities in the country.

The club missed a trick when they gave that up in my opinion.
