    ...or one that throws away a two goal lead against ten men? Or one that loses 4-1 at home after scoring first?

    Worth trying for a few seasons at least (of which this is still really only the second)
    At least!

    Thank you Don been hoping someone other than me would put something like that.

    Boom!

    I've been dropping this truth bomb on here for a while now, it's the really easy option the odds on viewpoint every season.

    Hopefully folks starting to hear it from a different sources will help with the understanding and realisation that if you want to be right lots just predict your club, manager, players, signings won't be a success. But we still need a few more to join in to help the cause and get the message across.

    Thank you Optipez.

    I am not saying what is the right way and what is the wrong way as frankly I do not know but what I have noticed in the past few weeks both on this board and on social media is a lot of Notts fans basically saying the current "method" is boring and they are questioning going to games. This reminds me of the times under Ray Trews tenure when fans commenced staying away due to the tedious nature of games and this if memory serves me correctly forced him to wield the axe. Laddo if we keep playing tedious football and the attendances drive down as a result what is your opinion on that?

    When it works it looks great to me, but we are missing a ruthlessness, cutting edge in front of goal ŕnd steel in the midfield, until we solve that we're going nowhere.

    This is total nonsense, crazy talk, fine if we were in league one or the championship, but it's the national league for goodness sake.

    Where we both are you can't blame them.

    Bit of yesterday's action from Mr Groundhopping FC. He makes a salient point on 7 mins 50 secs!

    Total nonsense/Crazy talk or actually fact and statistically accurate. It's all linked to mathematics, probability and percentages. The league you are in makes absolutely no difference every FL/NL team is in the league they are in cos they weren't good enough to be at the level higher. The majority of clubs are unsuccessful each season, the majority of managers fail their objective and the majority of signings don't work. It's not a 50:50 coin flip for each as some seem to pretend it is. I wish it was.

    As MDS has just illustrated and as I suspected it looks like I need help from more than Optipez on this one.

    So if we drop to National League North will you still be saying that? Some people seem happy to accept failure.
