As @ivansneck says, the midfield is the major problem and we just cannot carry on letting the opposition have twenty plus shots every game. We need a solid defensive midfielder to beak up the play, we can probably get by in all the other departments (although I still would like the keeper replaced) until the summer. Without the midfield being resolved we will definitely be playing non league football next season.

 

He will have to manage for now because he won't be allowed to just bring players in at the moment.

I think Neal Ardley and Neil Cox should be able to work with the existing players.

I think bringing in additional players could be a risky move considering how many players are here already, avoiding a FFP fine would be paramount right now.

Only time will tell, I hope so because there's good players here.

They have to start playing like a good team and believe in themselves.

Can this not be worked on in training and lifted with actual tactics or confidence?

The midfield seems good to me on paper.

Doubtful as non of the current midfield are authoritative enough.

I think he will make two signings but I think it wont include any midfielders, I see a striker and keeper coming in.

Notts never signs what is needed.

I have no idea.

I would have assumed he can't spend a lot if there is any budget remaining and I think preparation for next season should start now. Sign up the better players, get them focused and believing in a system that can be successful.

No, I think some movement might happen in the loan market.

It wouldn't surprise me if both Ben Hall and Rob Milsom return to their parent clubs, hopefully Milsom doesn't sign for Notts permanently because he's reminding us now as to why he was released.

We never really know if Milsoms problems are partly just like the rest of the players at the moment, not playing to their potential... under the right guidance most players will do much better. Obviously we can't say its going to happen for difinate because for him it may just be a downwards spiral.

I keep hearing these players are good enough, no they aren't, only Fitzsimmons, Ward, Enzio, Hemmings and Dennis have shown any quality for me, Vaughan obviously has quality but difficult in League 2 for him. The new manager needs to be brave, get Osborne in on the wing, Patching into Midfield, Kellet either left back or left wing.

Hes only had one game in charge but i think he will make the most of the team... the ones that arn't injured.

As January draws near I’m getting more and more uncertain Neal knows there is still a lot football to be played andnpoints tonget but in order to get the points I think he may bring more players .. so at a rethink I don’t think he will 

No but I doubt there's any more money for players.

I do think it could be if there is an engine there, just find someone to mop up the play and win the ball back.
