As a neutral I think Derry has done a cracking job for county so far ok the results are not going the way the should, He is trying to build a good squad and has plenty of experience and youth within the squad.

 

But like every club the 1 key thing you need is STABILITY.

I think the main focus now is to just finish above the relegation zone.

Bradford (H) - Rochdale (H) - MK Dons (A) - Scunthorpe United (H) - Walsall (A) - Coventry (H) - Yeovil (A) - Barnsley (H) - Crawley (A) - Preston (H) - Doncaster (H) and Gillingham (A).

At least 12 points should be ours if we played well, if we could fix things a bit more (defence/discipline) then we could pick more up. My concern is I don't expect anything from Bradford - Rochdale is a maybe and MK Dons if we beat them then I would buy more than a Forest shirt @jsrjay. I mean you never know but these remaining fixtures are tough.

Come on COUNTY smash the DONS

Fixture run looks pretty grim, I don't fancy guessing on if Derry will stay. Personally I just want to see him do well which he has to be fair this season but he needs to do better.

Derry will survive, I am sure of that.

Should we change manager? I do not think so, he has my support.

I think one day derry will turn out to be a very good manager but he needs the time to learn by his mistakes.
 

What notts needs is stability and in derry i think we have a manager who loves the club and his prepared to give that stability but at what cost does the club stand by him?
 

If they are prepared to stand by him no matter what then they must give him the tools to do the job in league 2. If we get relegated and we have more budget cuts then im afraid a rookie manager on a shoestring budget isnt gonna work.

I have been consistant in saying this but each of the last four games as been an improvement on the last. This team are like a new squad, which S&G had no option but to do owing to loans ending etcetera,

He as also gambled this season by signing players that he believes in, and will play his way. I think the fans getting on his back is a symptom of today's 'throw away' society and those demanding change are not necessarily the ones who go to games. Some will of course but not all. As usual when the chips are down you hear those that shout loudest. Particularly now with the events over the river to show what change can do!

However, I believe the majority of 'fans' are not screaming for change because it doesn't cross their minds as a logical choice. The Silent majority see stability as an important development in our progression after recent times.

So I say this:-

I back Shaun 100% because he backs the fans right to demand change. People forget he is a novice and is learning his trade, whilst he does that he may well makes mistakes and poor choices but he is learning and it shows in the performances. The results will come and the confidence will return.

If in the end we go down then I will still support Notts because: This is Notts County, my team, my choice, no matter what.

I couldn't agree more with you, well said.
