    Playing out from the back and tippy-tapping around the back four are the reasons why we look like we have more possession than the other team, as I've said many times in many games most of the football gets played in the Notts' half. We hold on to the ball too long because we haven't the midfielders with different ideas of how to push the other team. Lack of quality will keep us in this league till we find quality and splash the cash on it.

    You might feel that clubs like Chesterfield, Wrexham and Stockport are trying to spend their way to promotion but if they didn't try they might as well admit they are happy with non-league football.

    The funny thing with those three is, for the money they’ve spent, I’m on another forum with fans from across the division and the supporters of Stockport, Wrexham and Chesterfield all think they have as many issues as we currently think we do.

    It doesn’t look like we have more possession, we do have more possession.

    Based on your view ‘most of the games get played in our half’. The fact that we’ve only lost one game and won 4 out of 8, our approach must be effective.

    Moving onto splashing the cash, did Barrow, Sutton, Harrogate and Hartlepool do that?

    Bah! Bloomin' KK coming on here spouting all that fact, logic and common sense. Shocking behaviour.

    The fact is, if you wander into enemy territory only once but score a goal then defend successfully for the rest of the game, eleven men back, just booting the ball anywhere, the stats will show you had little possession but the football was played mostly in your half.

    Leicester won the Premier League with the least overall percentage of possession than any other Premiership champions before, with 42.4%

    I thought that it wasn't just the financial part of the deal but living just 20 mins from the Barrow training ground as well

But the likes of Derby and Bolton have suffered so who knows, the championship sides are in a lot of danger as they chase the holy grail.
    True but it's a gamble....and is the price of success greater than the price of failure.?

    Ardley wanted to pass it out from the back but it never went anywhere. I don't want IB to end up the same. Tactically I believe he's a couple of levels above Ardley but we're not going to get out this division faffing about with it across the back line. I understand about drawing teams out but then we have to exploit that, I believe alot of teams think before facing us this will be hard then we just pass it about at the back for the first 30 mins and the opposition grow in stature and that puts pressure on our players. I've always liked teams that attack from minute one as you can be 2 goals up before you know it at this level but I'm not a football coach or manager so who knows.
