Why the Reedz bothers will fail.

Jackal has been on fire for some time now. Impossible to ignore. Wheat amongst the chaff.

Woof woof.

ps. Can I be his left-hand man? After all, I am cack-handed Thicko.

In laddoworld me and you are best mates, and we are in constant contact plotting against him.

He really, honestly thinks that, and can't see any hypocrisy in his own posts!

Of course you can that will leave Ken as his right hand man (yap yap).

You probably don't know this but he quickly took your place whilst you were "having a break". I thought it was a little disrespectful tbh he jumped into your grave almost the moment you left your post. Don't worry he's not quite at your level although equally subservient.

Down boy

Memo 3 to ancientpie. I hope you have noticed how laddo is trying so, so hard to avoid petty arguments.

Better information on players is never a bad thing, especially for a club like ours that has been burned too often by managers signing old mates or players they saw perform well against them once. However, I think there's some truth in what you say, in that we shouldn't necessarily be using that data to identify the silkiest, most technical footballers, but instead the most aggressive, athletic, physical competitors who are equipped for football in the English lower leagues. Presumably, the data from Football Radar can be used to identify whatever type of player and personality you wish, but maybe so far we've been a bit idealistic about the football we eventually want to play, rather than picking horses for courses.

I must admit, there have been several occasions when I've watched Notts under Ardley and so far under the new coach where I've longed to see more of the 'smash-mouth' football we used to play under Warnock and Allardyce. It wasn't as "long-ball" as some observers used to claim, because we did play football mostly in the opponents' half, but it was based on getting the ball into the opponents' penalty area as fast and as often as possible, effectively laying siege on their goal and pressuring and battering them into submission rather than seeking to play nice patterns around them. And when you've got players as fast as Lewis Knight and Jimmy Knowles, why wouldn't you release them down the channels and into the area early, because most defenders at this level are very slow?

When managers across the river have tried to introduce more direct tactics, Nottingham Forest fans have sometimes admonished them with the song "We're Nottingham Forest, we play on the floor!", because that is their identity as a team. Well, over here at Meadow Lane, at least in the post-Sirrell era, our "identity" in our best years has been "We're Notts County, prepare to be bombarded and kicked off the park if necessary!". And when it's done right, it can be strangely satisfying and quite entertaining!

We need a couple of hard tackling barstewards in the middle to break up play as well as 2 reasonably decent ball players to get it forrard.

12.28pm?
1:00pm?

Care to comment? Just want to to check you do know what chronological order means?

Or is this just another church mouse moment from your goodself? Once again it's all bias no balance and another good thread hijacked and ruined#usualsuspects

Forget laddoworld, in NCM world it's all bias no balance from No Nuts.

Well this is an interesting development. Looks like your clear obsessive behabiour is at least now shared between two people you don't know off the internet.

Relief yes, but I fear it's only temporary.

Would all of the usual suspects please take this inane nonsense to the Handy Day Luggage thread and let the rest of us enjoy the thread topics?

PLEEEEEASE!

F00kin L Bob, do you think he's rumbled us!

[jackal2]

Jackal2 for manager!!

Ha!

Trust me, my credibility with the players would be zero after about one minute on the training pitch demonstrating my "skills". And as for "show us yer medals", I've got a 100 metre swimming badge and the odd snooker trophy, but nothing else!

I was the kid at school with two left feet who always got picked last by the team captains (for any sport!) so I gave up in the end and stood on the sidelines pretending to be a commentator. Come to think of it, 30 years later nothing has changed!

I am more than happy to do that. It was the solution suggested by you and it was a really good idea. That way those who are bothered can read it, and those who aren't bothered can ignore it. It works for everyone.

It only works however if "all of the usual suspects" heed your advice. Unfortunately, one of the usual suspects, probably the main suspect, is openly sticking two fingers up to your advice.
