Remember saying this @1862?

Looks like I might not be the only one to have to eat humble pie.

I hope a massive, massive plateful of humble pie is on the menu for me, the bigger the better.  I was very disappointed by the appointment of Fullarton, but nothing would please me more than being hopelessly wrong.  Very early days, but this is a fantastic 3 points that I don't think many of us expected.

I honestly believe the reaction was fair, nobody had hidden motives about Fullarton and it's early to say if the board made the right call.

Just like nobody can say they didn't. Yet, after the lack of experience and knowledge before - fans only rightly took to frustration and disappointment. Whilst it's worth waiting to see how things pan out, any fan worth their salt will accept the situation as it comes to light, which I am sure people will get behind Jamie Fullarton. Of course some will say 'told you so' or possible make excuses but the important thing is for us to reflect on moving forward.

Onwards & Upwards.

Even after a win i'm not sure hes upto the job, especially on his own as he is only a coach really, not an experienced manager.

Well it depends on how he handles the difficult moments, it would be reassuring if his tactics enabled us to change the game(s) as it happens - like red cards or if teams pile on the pressure. Yet there's only one way to gain expereince, I am keen to see him given support.

Yet I am not sure Richard Dryden is a suitable option myself.

No disrespect but someone who's fimilar with the role, perhaps someone Jamie knows himself would be the better option? Moniz and Kevan didn't work out, as have others who had this type of partnership pairing and although I don't think we will see an assistant come in - I do feel if it does happen, it should be Jamie's call and someone he trusts/knows he can rely on.

Good point @notts-joe it should be Fullarton's call, the club have appointed him manager so the decision needs to be his, especially if the assistant comes from within the club. To answer one of @liampie questions on another thread I think any assistant should be there to help, but I think he needs to be clearly Fullarton's assistant, rather than be 'Assistant Manager' and perhaps have too much influence. We already have confusion over which players are whose signings. Team tactics and the playing 11 need to be down to one man.

I hope he turns out to be the next Jimmy Sirrell

He won't be, you cannot compare him to anyone else but himself.

Was Neil Warnock constantly compared to Jimmy? We will never see a manager like him again, the game does not make men like him. That does not mean he won't come good!

What's age got to do with anything? You seem to have a bee in your bonnet because I'm older than you.

Look we all want the same thing a successful Notts County, let's leave it at that.

P.S.hope your cough gets better.

You're older than everybody aren't you?

I agree with @notts-Joe here

I cannot criticise JF and didn't. I did criticise his appointment by the board as being too risky. A risk can pay off, let's hope so, but it will never alter the nature of the appointment itself.
