@DangerousSausage Izzy hasnt scored away from home... so think a 5 man midfield is a better bet away from home

It hats just as cold in Holland. Try the North seas coast at Ijmuiden, alkmaar or Haarlem or the wastelands of north Friesland, Groningen, leeuwaarden etc.

It seems to me that we have a number of players who thrive in a five-man midfield, Aborah being one of them. If he plays in a four-man midfield with two wingers, we're far too exposed. If we want to let our more creative players shine, we're going to have to sacrifice a man up front.

It's frustrating - it's like buying a good jigsaw, only to find that the pieces don't fit together.

Why can't we play a 4-1-3-2 formation that way we could have Noble & Aborah easily in the same team.

The reason for me is that JF just wants to play hoof in into the clouds and then have the midfield running round like headless chickens looking like there actually worth having on the pitch, simple tactics require simple players, not skilled ball players..

its sad how these situations cause nothing but friction.

Supposedly from what JF said, Stanley hasn't been well and gave in a sick note.

Could this be the same as the Lee Hughes story?

Well, he has also said that he returned to training on Monday, so let's see if he makes the bench for Saturday.

Fullarton won't play him though, as it will mean he has to totally change his system in order to accommodate him. It will be a case of who goes first, Stanley, or Fullarton?

I think we should take this on face value, at first. Aborah was ill on Friday and JF has a policy that if you're not present a week in advance (for whatever reason) you're not eligible for the squad.

If this is a consistent policy, then good. Make a policy and stick to it. If this is an excuse and Aborah is playing silly buggers/has been victimised, then hopefully it can be resolved, our best player deserves to be in the squad.

I'm concerned by how some fans seem to have taken a disliking to Aborah, as I feel he's fallen victim to a little 'hype' and 'sensationalizing'. I do think fans who say if Aborah doesn't make the bench within the next two games, he's probably likely not to be seen in the squad again or released. There seems to be something preventing him, I don't believe for a second it's because he don't defend.

He does, just hasn't been the same since his injury but players do tend to take time.

I hope your right SDA.

I hope the lad can force his way back into the team as Notts need all the players to put their shoulder to the wheel. A few tricky games coming up and they need everyone to do their bit...especially on Saturday.

Didn't Moniz allude to Aborah, like most gifted people, being an awkward so and so?

If he is, and if that is the reason for his exclusion then surely someone needs to help JF realise that different cultures have different personalities.

If like @Super_Danny_Allsopp says then he should be back in the squad at the very least on Saturday.

At least I was comforted in the Wheelers Suite when i saw the team sheet that Stanley was on the bench. That soon evaporated at half time when i realised he wasnt there at all. Maybe the injury in the warm up for MacKenzie altered Jamie's thinking completely? 

Now to the crux of the matter. This performance today against Orient lacked ZERO creativity. What I now learn, from reading elsewhere, Stanley talked to supporters to say Jamie doesn't like him nor likes his style of play. Well that's the last straw. Today was crying out for a more creative midfield... this was paint drying rubbish which was dished up again for the home supporters. 

If Jamie thinks Stanley is not good enough.... he is having a laugh. Never for many a year have I been so angry for such disrespectful treatment of a player. Stanley is the best player since Alan Judge, we should be building a team around him. As a season ticket holder, I will not frequent Wheelers Suite again because I want to see creative players not statues as we had today. 

#Stanley In #Jamie out, sorry @NewNottsFan Confidence in his ability has evaporated through his actions

The whole situation is a mess. The owners genuinely believed that going against 99% of fans wishes was the 'best fit for the club'.

Fans want experience, sick of managerial merry go round and experimenting = Sack manager, appoint new experiment.
Fans favourite player = drop him, not even on the bench.
Fans feeling disconnected = appoint someone who comes across as arrogant and call the fans scum.
Fans dislike arrogant Director of Football/Chief Scout/Usurper Rodwell = appoint Branston.
Another fans favourite = release him, signed by rival, scores.
Fans enjoying attacking football at home = Negative tactics.

How much longer will this go on?!

@erindoors Firstly despite everything I still whole heartedly support the Trews. Honest decisions are being made in the best interests of the club. Yes, I am a huge Stanley Aborah fan, but when we see a player who cannot get into the squad today, left on the sidelines, when 99 per cent of the supporters would have him as one of the first names on the team sheet, I feel it is disrespectful as to how he is being treated.

I feel now even more down this evening, than that of the Salford F A Cup exit. It's just that all "hope" has just evaporated. It is a professional sport, and maybe I thought the Wimbledon game was a one off. Well, there was no sign of it working today for Notts and not a hint of changing it from the bench in good time. My full 49 years of supporting completes in March (in March 67 was my very first match) but i will not be there to spend my money in the Wheelers Suite.

I have never been so bored by the last 2 home performances. I didnt want to see Ricardo leave but accepted the reasons for it. The lack of creativity or even acknowledgement by the manager that something is wrong, I cannot ever accept. 

I love Notts but today, I feel ashamed that Jamie's team was "Not in my name" in terms of performance and the values for which I expect Notts to stand for

 

Good evening

I've heard from many that Stanley was at the game and said he is 100% fit but Jamie doesn't like him or the way he plays, what an idiot!
