The story so far!

I think if we had lost all 3 games an awful lot of judgements would have been made and posted.some are already posting derogatory remarks.

Well a lot of folk don't want Maynard After a rough start he is bedding in. Most of the people bagging him have done the same job for 100 years and don't realise that it can take a little time to be prepared.

The concern will be that we will live to regret employing SM with no guarantee the current owners will find themselves in such a great position again that deep into a season.
Put it this way.... Who thought 12th placed Crawley Town were a better team than Notts at the time LW left? They are now playing in tier 3. With Crawley in mind, Notts definitely could have gone up last season had they replaced LW with somebody half decent.

It's all well and good if SM ultimately delivers but I still think he'll turn out to be another Burchnall type of manager, doing enough to stay in the job but not actually getting Notts over the line. At this level, that is going to be no less frustrating than it was being stuck in tier 5 before LW came along.

Even a better manager could not mitigate against the constant, individual errors that cost us games, the defensive issues should have been addressed by changes in personnel which the manager has no control over. It has to be said though that several games under SM were amongst the worst I've ever seen Notts play.

It's fair to say that he has yet to win me over but I'm willing to give him a chance, so far so good.

Jones has been so good so far, I heard a comment that he was using both wings and I think Maynard should give him the freedom to do just that, he's so good at this level he'll cause havoc.
