Worst Notts County manager ever

[ThaiPie]

Perhaps we should focus on recruitment.

In Stuart Maynard's post match interview he said "we're not equipped" , to deal with high balls and long throws. I.E. We don't have the right players for Division 2 defending. I think I, along with every other poster on this board we have been saying this all season. So maybe you can focus on the recruitment team, rather than prematurely trying to rate SM.

Currently, Managing Notts is like rock climbing in flip flops. There are going to be slip-ups.



Edit: Is this the smallest Notts County team - Ever?

We've recruited plenty of good players, the latest being Scott Robertson, but you're still absolutely right.

We're very short (literally) of players who can dominate our own penalty box and lead a defensive line. If you have a Graeme Lee/Garry Strodder type of centre-half in the box yesterday then they take up the right position, win the key headers, and you don't concede either of those goals. Connell Rawlinson is the closest thing we've got in terms of physical stature, but I'm afraid that first goal yesterday endorsed the arguments of those saying he's simply not good enough for this level.

The second goal was another example of a team hitting the ball to the back stick to target the area often occupied by Aaron Nemane, who is tiny, not very good at heading, and should be nowhere near the six yard box in those situations. He's never going to win the ball, in fact the biggest risk is that he gets in the way of one of (few) bigger players who potentially could try to put in a meaningful challenge.
