LW struck me as the type who could not switch off but he would have had to devote a fair bit of his time preparing for the interview and then thinking about the task in hand once he was confident he was in with a good chance of landing the job, which is understandable. I think he was also very interested in the Oxford job, which pretty much coincided with our sudden loss of form. I think the Oxford link came up ahead of the Wrexham game.
I can't say I listened to his pre-match interviews so it's possible I might be wrong about this, but I got the impression he wasn't altogether happy with the business or lack of that Notts did in the summer. There's something to be said for giving a promoted squad the chance to prove themselves, but that wasn't a point that LW seemed to push.
He may well have felt privately that he'd taken us as far as he could with the restrictions placed upon him.
