Just listened to the coach's post-match interview. It seems much of the thrashing was down to the referee. And us not being able to recognise how inferior "teams like that" play and deal with it. We had a very good 70 minutes though. It's sort of Ardleyesque, isn't it?
"Uninspiring at best interviews??!" Really? The worm has well and truly turned after yesterday's match.
I think that's been one of if not his strongest suit to date just. I find them honest, insightful, and shock horror interesting. And I'm not even comparing them to some of the shocking interviews of past Notts managers.
Shows how people can view the same interviews so differently/contrastingly.
Doesnt really matter what IB says to the media it wont be what he is saying to the players that is for sure.
He isnt going to start kicking off on the radio about them as it achieves nothing.
We need to win one of the next two games we are good enough to do it obviously but will we do it.
Also in fairness when you lose all 3 of your starting CBs plus goalkeeper it doesnt take a genius to work out we will struggle without them.
Our record with them this season is under a goal a game so hardly leaking goals.
I can sense people already want IB out just by the tone of the comments I mean we need to go back to the days of 3 managers a season as that was great stuff.
People wanted us to be like Brentford,Swansea etc but as soon as a couple of bad results happen its the wrong thing to do.
The reality is we are a non league club we have no divine right to walk this league we have been losing money and been cr*p for two decades pretty much and the scary thing is we could drop even further down.
He hasn't got the players to change it, that's what I think he's not realising. He thinks he can coach them into a good team but they haven't got it in them. Really depressed today at being a notts fan, I mean it's normally depressing but it just seems like another season wasted.
Not really Ardley had to go he had the stigma of relegating us he had 3 years that is enough time.
IB hasnt had a full season and deserves that right we are going to be around play off places.
No manager is going to get a 100% say in players now that is not how our model works and clubs in major leagues use data like this.
IB knew what job he was taking when he joined and it is something he is used to in Sweden.
Whether it works is another matter only time will tell.
