its depressing, i hate to think about it but i do wonder how others feel.

how likely do you feel notts could go down?

If things continue its going to be difficult to see the club avoiding the last game of the season drama, hopefully it won't come to that but I think it's likely at the moment. The next manager is very important.

It looks like there is only one spot for going down as i'd be very surprised if Macclesfield don't finish in  bottom two, if we continue to play like we did the last 3 games ( not including Donny game) then we will definitely be joining them.

I'm worried, I think we need to find the right manager and then come together as a fresh start.

The players can avoid the bottom half but I have no faith in Steve Chettle and I am worried that someone inexperienced will come in. We need a proper man manager and someone who can lift the players after telling them exactly what they have done wrong.

I’m sorry I don’t think we will be going down no way .. this is a strong club and Alan has already said this appointment will be thought out ... I’m going to trust Hardy on the next manager will save us .. the oldest league team is what we have Whst we have earned nothing will take that away .... we are the magpies and I believe we are not going out the league..

I feel relegation can be avoided but the closer the new year comes and no difference has been made then I will start to really worry.

We have been here before many times and it looked worse before Alan Hardy arrived, when the bills wasn't being paid on time and the club looked bleak I worried a lot. I think this is mostly footballing issues which could be corrected by the next manager appointment.

I hope at the very least.

Yes i agree, the issues are mainly football ones not anything behind the scenes.

I hate to say it but with how good the squad is on paper, it looks like the clubs destined to do a Chesterfield.

I hate saying but I think we have a very high possibility.

Even when it's been bad before, we have survived. 2005-06. 2 goals in last five minutes (even though other results were going our way). 07-08. 16-17 when it looked awful but we pulled away with ease in the end. Ardley seems like the right man for the job and to sort out the defence. In his time at Wimbledon, he never conceded over than 60 goals in a season. I don't think we will have any problem scoring goals. Stead and Hemmings put in a shift, with the latter always getting in good positions. Dennis looks like he's hitting a bit of form. I think we just may need a target man to give us another option up top. Need two centre mids and cover at RB or LB. 

Notts has to defend much better, this is the most concerning thing because they could do everything right and still make it harder for themselves by conceding soft or sloppy goals. This highlights the teams who are in danger of relegation.

I do admit I am worried.

It depends how the new manager gets on with our players.

I think if we do things right under Ardley Notts should be fine, it would be depressing to think two managers have been incorrect in one season.  

I am worried but Notts should be fine.

The club has faced much harder times but the players need to dig deeper or take a good look at themselves.

we have an experienced manager in charge now.

Ask me again after the January transfer window closes.At the moment I'm concerned but not overly worried.

January might be a little too late to sort the mess out

If Notts can't attack games, then I fear for the worst. There are signs that it can be fixed and a few minor things can be addressed, it will take lot of work.

Personally I think we have time /games to put a good fight in and avoid the drop , the thing that’s given me a measure of confidence is that we now have a proper manager with experience and I think he’ll turn the tide over time with much hard work , it’s going to be a testing time but I feel more confident now , liked his message to the fans as well coyp and come on NA , we are staying up we are staying up 

Hate to say it, but I would say we are more likely to go down than stay up at this moment in time. When you can't see where the next win is coming from, then it is worrying times, especially with their complete inability to hold onto a lead, how many points have we thrown away?

Looking forward to seeing how Ardley makes this silk purse as the vital pieces of the midfield jigsaw are totally missing.

 

I think Notts look like a lost cause but Ardley may install some fight, it's really hard to say but it's not looking good at the minute.

I am in hope that we wont but we are getting closer and closer to the the end of the season and still not gaining many points.

I refuse to think about it but the thought does cross my mind and it worrys me.

With the appointment of Neal Ardley with his history of saving teams from relegation I’m possitve he will do this again with us and we keep the “oldest league team” name
