Jim O'Brien Discusses Notts County's Preparations for Top-of-the-Table Clash with Stockport County

Love Jim's approach. Keeping the ship steady is just what we need right now. Bring on Saturday!

Great read! There's a good sense of unity in the squad, and I feel optimistic about the upcoming games.

Spot on from Jim! It's all about that consistency. Can't wait to see how we fare against Stockport.

I'm really impressed with O'Brien's leadership during this interim period. His focus on maintaining consistency despite the situation is exactly what Notts County needs heading into this crucial clash with Stockport. It's a testament to his professionalism and the respect he's garnered from the players. The fact that they're putting aside personal disappointments and concerns to focus on the collective goal of winning is inspiring and bodes well for the match. All the best to the team!

Jim O'Brien’s openness in this interview is precisely why I have faith in our team. The clarity and steadiness he has brought during this unpredictable time is crucial. Acknowledging the need to tighten our defense while still pushing our style of play demonstrates a well-considered strategy. Of course, Stockport won't be easy, but I'm confident we're prepared for the challenge.

I've been very impressed with Jim over the last few weeks since Luke left. The management showed great confidence in Jim to step in and Jim stepped up to the plate & acted in such a professional way. It was clear that the players have great respect For him too. I was particularly impressed by the way Jim handled the interviews, where he demonstrated that he had a clear vision and plan for what he wanted to do while in charge.

When Jim's playing career comes to an end, I believe he will have a future in football Management.

I think Jim O’Brien has done well in temporary charge, I appreciate his efforts. About his comment on changing playing styles mid-season, it probably depends on how much the players accept the changes and how hard they work to follow those instructions. I think Stuart Maynard will slowly implement his own vision but I don’t expect this to happen instantly.

When a manager leaves, things don’t change straight away. Sometimes players lose focus because of these departures. I’m happy that everyone is on the same page. It shows how important it is to have a group of players who work together and support each other.

The main point is that we had someone like Jim O’Brien who could step in when needed. We can trust him, even though some fans think he should retire and say things about him that aren’t needed. It’s good for the club to have someone like him who’s willing to do whatever it takes. This article really shows what kind of person Jim is. It’s not about him, it’s about the club. He’s not picking his friends, he’s doing what he thinks is best for Notts County. That’s something to admire.

jim can relax and focus on returning to his playing role but i am thankful for what he and the two helping hands from weal and the other coach. they did us proud. as for the comments here, i think it shows how sensible jim o brien is.

The lead-up to Saturday’s game is fraught with tension, yet Jim's composure shines through. Handling such an interim period isn't a walk in the park. I'm particularly impressed with his plans for the game, focusing on us making an impact and really putting our stamp on the play. It’s this proactive attitude that we need to clinch those all-important points.

His handover to Stuart Maynard is appreciated too.
