⚽ Match Thread vs. AFC Wimbledon 10.05.25 [EFL L2 POSF1]

I wouldn't want Steve Evans either, but your question gave me a binary choice - Maynard or Evans. I would go for Evans any day of the week because I prefer winning ugly to losing pretty. I am absolutely f@cking sick to the back teeth of leaving Meadow Lane to the sound of celebrating visiting supporters, when the stats say we don't deserve to lose.

To clarify, I don't want Steve Evans anywhere near the club and know it will never happen, but I would prefer him to Maynard because I think it would improve our long term chances. I just want someone a bit more streetwise in the dark arts which refs don't seem to punish these days. So with our playoff games in mind who would you prefer in charge, Stuart Maynard or Johnnie Jackson?

ps I desperately hope Maynard takes us up as much as you do.

The only way we would get a result with Johnnie Jackson would be if we had the same sort of dirty cheating bar stewards as players.
No thank you.
I would much rather have Maynard or similar.

That's obviously where we differ.

I would rather win ugly than lose pretty, whereas you would rather lose pretty than win ugly.

We seem to be wrong side of line? how many teams have come to ML? barely shown any intent, bored us to death and yet won? I don?t recall Port Vale fans bemoaning the fact that they were dull as **** to watch.
Notts need to find a knack of being able to win ugly when winning nice isn?t on.

No I want to win and I don?t want to be ugly.
The 2 are not mutually exclusive. Sometimes they might have to get mixed up a bit.
Would you really like Notts to play like Wimbledon?

Obviously we would all like to win pretty, we did it brilliantly in the promotion season.

Would I really like Notts to play like Wimbledon? If it means winning, definitely yes.

Put it this way, I felt far more engaged with the club during that Nolan playoff season than I do now, and the football then was very direct. I remember feeling far more nervous during that playoff game against Coventry than I did against Wimbledon.

I just want Notts to win, and honestly, I don't care all that much for possession-based football. I like it when we play with urgency and passion. Of course it's nice to have quality players who can do something a bit special, but I'm just as likely to get out of my seat for a crunching tackle than I am for a fancy piece of skill. The possession-based football under Williams was at least exciting, and we mostly won at home and scored plenty of goals.

Sometimes I'm not sure if the bros understand their clientele.

Do the clientele understand the bros?
I don't think we will ever go for a Wimbledon style or a Nolan hoofball style whilst the Reedtz bros own the club.
For that I am grateful. And I certainly don't want a change of ownership.
We are however far too lightweight and currently don't have a playmaker in the squad.
These need to be addressed by our new recruitment guru. Of course that doesn't help us in the next 2 games.

Oh I absolutely do not want a change in ownership either. I love the bros and want them to stick around for as long as possible. But I also want them to address the deficiencies in our squad and the limitations of our tactics.

Possession football is fine if you move the ball quickly which leads to an attack, ours is slow predictable and boring most of the time.
