what did you think of the new assistant managers interview? How do you feel Neil Cox came across??

 

I think both Ardley and Cox come across strong. They seem to compliment each other well and the way they come across looks as though they are honest with each other. Mansfield will be the first league match for the pair and I hope we see some sort of passion and tactics that can hurt Mansfield. 

They both did seem to work together well so i hope that portrays well in the games and their tactics work well with our players.

Came across very well. Sounds like a motivator and leader. He was captain at Crewe so I imagine he has good leadership qualities. 

I like the fact that the assistant manager seems and sounds like he will be heavily involved, the last two seemed a mix of it but Neil Cox appears to be a very hands on person. I hope he plays a big role in supporting Neal Ardley.

I'm more impressed with Cox than I am with Ardley to be honest.

Very pleased with both.

I think he sounded prompt but clear, I liked what he said but he seemed to struggle like he was given ideas as to what might please people.

He speaks well and seems to be knowledgeable.

I hope he will shout instructions too from the sidelines, it's been awhile since we have done. I think Derry and Abbot was the last.

He sounds okay, he speaks like a typical lower league player but his playing experience could be useful.

I hope Ardley and Cox are good coaches.

Their public face  isn't  necessarily their working or private face.I must admit I'm more impressed by this latest Notts Managerial appointment than I have been for many a while.I did think Kevin Nolan would have done better but he didn't seem to learn from his mistakes and anyway I think there was more going on that has never been made public.I just hope my gut feeling proves correct.

Well I am impressed and pleased @super_ram, I just feel first interviews are started and you learn more from future ones.

I'll be interested to hear his pre and post match comments.

Those are what will tell us what kind of a manager he is because we can actually compare his words to what he does, if he drops a player for example after a bad game - it's the right thing to do and his methods should speak volumes. I hope he gives praise too, this is something Kevin Nolan and Harry Kewell did but only on a very generic level. "I'm proud of my boys", well that's fine but we lost 3-1 (or whatever).

Tell us what you aim to do and praise players for doing right when its a good thing. 

I liked the interview, he speaks sense. He does seem a little prompt but that could be nerves, Notts are a big club with heavy expectations of turning this seasons fortunes around.

I liked the interview he said all the right things and I’m really hoping he can do it I’m all for him great first impressions 

He speaks well, I am impressed by both the assistant and manager. I hope they can get to grip with the issues having seen the game against Sunderland.

I don't mean to sound nasty, Neil Cox doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb. I think that's why he's a little slow to reply, I do not think for a second he's being prompted or guided as to what he should say. I also think he seems more stern than Neal Ardley.

Could the club have a good cop/bad cop situation here?

I do feel this could get a better performance out of the players if one told people straight and the other lifted them.
