I doubt their against getting in a bishop type, they signed Ellis last year and didn’t they want to sign him this season, the models obviously flexible.
As for this league, people are making it out to be so different to any other. When we came down we were under the impression it was full of 7 footers that kick anything that moves, but from what I’ve seen it’s absolutely no different to L2, certainly no more physical and the standards not much different.
Whilst the brothers are in charge we have to accept they have strategy, they said promotion is the aim but at the same time they are not going to go Sh1t or bust to get it and that’s fine by me.
Great Post. Also in regards to PSAW then who cares what he says and thinks he's a wind up merchant. Notts aren't a laughing stock in football as most sensible fans know they're only an owner running out of money away from going down the leagues themselves. Infact I was walking the dog in my Notts shirt the other day and someone said is that a Newcastle shirt and I said no Notts County but he didn't roll around on the floor laughing, he said good lad and he ****ing hates forest.

No Notts fan is happy being in this league but we also it's a very hard league to go up from and let's be honest with one more promotion slot we'd have probably already gone up by now. The recruitment is alot better than usual this season, sure we're still short of a centre mid and maybe some more pace in the squad but this from Jackal is correct :

Kyle Cameron, Kyle Wootton, Cal Roberts, Frank Vincent, Matt Palmer, Ruben Rodrigues, Connell Rawlinson, Alex Lacey, Richard Brindley, Joel Taylor and Adam Chicksen have all proven to be good value. Then there's second group like Aaron Nemane, Eli Sam, Ed Francis, Kairo Mitchell and Dion Kelly Evans who have been variable in their performances but still capable, at least as squad players. I don't see much 'dead wood' in the squad these days (i.e. players we sign and dare not play in virtually any circumstances) whereas in the past we regularly used to carry a number of planks.

I've only been to 4 games this season but my dad goes to them all and I believe him when he says the style of football has improved but we're still a little lightweight. The owners have their own methods akin to their fellow Danes at Brentford and why not, it's worked for them. You can get out of this league by playing various types of football as we've seen by the teams going up. I would say the one thing they had and Notts don't is a physicality and energy we lack at times. Still I think people need to calm down and talk of the manager going is crazy, let him have a couple of seasons to build, he's not an idiot and knows as much if not more than us so give him chance, two weeks ago if the game goes ahead against Barnet and we'd have won we'd be sitting pretty so I don't think now if the time to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
