One thing that did annoy me, was a question from the floor about the Jodi / John Bostock dynamics. It was ignored by SM

One dissapointing aspect that came up at the forum.

Montague said that the toilets will be upgraded with up to 5 being upgraded at a time, so all the toilets in the ground may take several seasons to upgrade 

Would have thought the toilet upgrades would have been one of the priorities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Defence

Slowly transitioning to defending better.     No you need to start Defending Better straight away or Notts are going to be in a Relegation Battle.

Ethos

The Ethos won't change. Even if the Ethos is Wrong?

Championship Model.

The Model that Notts have/will have aim to get the Magpies into the Championship one day.

When?  In Five years time ? Ten Years Time? Set a Target and Aim for that target. What happens if the Model doesn't work? Will it be changed? 

Rules Restrict Number Of Overseas Players.

Good. It means Notts will have to look at bringing on their own Talent through the Academy.  instead  of the odd youth player getting a chance aim for three or four to bring on.

Wants to mix things Up.

Finally the Penny's dropped as it?  The Fans have been going on about this for the past season. We could see it why couldn't the Coaching Staff?

If the penny has really dropped we need different types of players being recruited in our defence instead of players like Warner who wasn't really suited to the physicality of league 2.

We will soon know if they have learned the lesson or not when the first acquisition comes through the Notts door.

It's going to be fascinating to see how Notts are going to solve the need to be more physical, but in the same breath wanting to continue to play a short passing attractive game with nimble ball players.

If you ask me the style has to change somewhat.

@Robbie

The Style has to change somewhat. Agreed. But will it be changed? Looking at the answers from the Fans Forum, It Appears Not.

Biggest disappointment from that fans forum is that the clipboard man wasn't there with his crazy ideas dressed up as questions.

@Wheelbarrow repair man

Agree. According to Maynard Notts have to deal with the physicality of League 2:, so he & the powers that be recognised the problem, but it doesn't seem to fit with their wanting to continue to play attractive open attacking football.

I think that's the paradox here.

 

 

Do you think If Notts start to struggle and look in Danger of Being Relegated back into the National League, that the type of Football the Magpies now play isn't the right way play in League 2? It's Blood and Guts Football in League 2 and if it wasn't for the fact that Notts had a decent run at the start of last season then thanks to the Tippy Tappy Football that's played at the Lane it might have been the Magpies and Not Sutton back in the National League. It doesn't matter what percentage of the ball Notts have  during a game but Notts need to score more Goals than the Opposition. Why does it appear that is something the Coaching staff fail to Grasp?
