Agreed Mickey doesn't have many defensive options but doesn't use his options very well either !
One example being loaning out Mahovo to Boston Utd after him being on the bench twice recently.
Bizarre substitutions changing situations for the worse , seem to be the norm.
With regards to two GK's on the bench , Stone who had travelled to the game in support of team mates , was drafted onto the bench after Chicksen had taken ill during the overnight stay in Bury .
What a waste of money , an overnighter to Accrington indeed. ?
Mickey no doubt asked for the overnighter and obviously didn't forsee such an event of illness.
He didn't have the nous to take Sanderson either and include a striker to warm the bench. .

Youth recruitment
Visibility of clubs receiving coverage nationwide
**** traffic at random times on the weekend (okay not Notts related)

The fact is Forest haven't had a sustained period since the 90s and football watching habits have changed significantly as has people's disposable income. I don't think Forest being an established Premier League club would benefit us in the long term at all.
I never get this Forest fans coming to Notts’s thing. They haven’t had sell outs for years, so now their in the prem are we saying all the people that wasn’t going anyway, now they can’t actually go are going to Notts instead?

I can understand kids coming to the age of wanting to go to a game now only being able to go to Notts, but I don’t get that many existing Forest fans are coming.
