You can see by how we play, who they appointed and style of players signed.

They are mainly going for young players to sell at a profit a model used at Brentford/Swansea.

Brentford soon learned that you can’t just buy a bunch of kids and expect them to perform. They only started to go from an average mid-table side to playoff contenders once they got the right balance of youth and experience in the team. They also learned that players fetch a lot more money the higher up the league you are.

For the Reedtz brothers to make a success of their model, they also need Notts to be successful on the pitch. Who right now looks a sellable asset than Ruben Rodrigues?

It takes time to get that right or to make it work I dont think our fans have the patience for that though.

!

I don’t think that’s fair on our fans. Neither Brentford or Swansea started off in non league. The model may well work in League 2 because they’ve got 4 promotion places, you fail one year, you’ve still got a decent chance the next(apart from us of course) You can develop young players in this league, but the unfortunate thing is that you still have to be winning week in, week out.

What we’ve seemingly assembled this season is a squad of individually good players, but with zero mental strength or nous to play for 90 minutes and see out the difficult situations that win you games. Is that sort of thing accounted for in ‘The Model’?

[Big Bob]

This. Every time you think we’ve reached rock bottom, Notts always manage to surprise you. I know this is going to sound melodramatic, but tonight must go down as one of the most shameful defeats in our history - certainly in my lifetime. 2-0 and we f***** it up against 10 men.

There needs to be a reckoning after this from the owners, management and players, because this season is going horribly wrong and things have happened in the past couple of games that are simply totally unacceptable. The warning signs were there from Torquay onwards. I like IB a lot, but this is starting to look like Amateur Hour.

Burchnall is crap. Clueless. At least if it carries on like this we'll have a local Derby against Alfreton.

I mean, they're 6th and actually not a bad club, only in the league below us.

But alright.

Ah, right, I’m beginning to see your point. Things aren’t really that bad because we are still a division above Alfreton Town.

You are either incredibly stupid or a brilliant troll.

Wonder why when 2-0 up IB didn’t strengthen the midfield by bringing Francis on for the last 20 minutes rather than more attackers. May have managed the game better?

Sellable assets? Probably get 2 Bob and a conker for them on Ebay.

Without JOB it would have been alot worse tonight trust me. First half was putting his foot in well pretty much the only one who was and second half even near the end sprinted 60 yards to cut out a cross from them for a corner. He isn't the problem with this team.

Thanks for the insights from the away end, was relying on the radio commentary. Good to hear JOB putting a shift in. I wonder why this tenacity doesn't rub off on some of the other players? ...Hopefully things improve, not that long ago we had Alan Smith to go on for the last ten minutes to see a game out now we have DKE. Was Brindley injured? Any how COYP

[Big Bob]

Burchnall says we missed Cameron and Rawlinson. We were crap when they were playing as well.
