I know KN is asked for his comments soon after the game, but instead of entering in to a rant then, he could say, “ I need to look at the video, but I thought it looked outside” etc. At the moment, pretty much every game he is immediately slating  the ref. We know they are not very good in league 2, but they are the same for both sides and we have had some critical but dodgy decisions re red cards and penalties go our way as well. 

Ball met hand in the box 100% a pen. I wish KN would calm down his comments re refs because his comments start to lose credibility, especially when he is wrong,  and I don’t think when other refs read his comments it will help our cause going forward.

KN is the manager he must lead , is he dogmatic I don't know , maybe he just knows what's best , his job is on the line at the end of the day players seem to stay long after a manager is fired not just at Notts but across the board , I'm an employee I do as I'm told in my work I may have a point to make and do as I'm experienced at what I do but if my boss says still do it I just get on with it and give it my best . Players should also .

Absolutely but my point is that a good boss is open to other opinions. May still go his own way. KN has great faith in his ability and has shown that he is not afraid to make unpopular decisions. Can be great strengths but also weakness if never willing to listen to others ideas. 

Don’t know what to make of this. I have sometimes wondered if Nolan really believes some of the things he says and his comments behind closed doors are different to those made to the media. So on one hand it was refreshing to hear him call out his players, not blame the ref, say how proud he is etc etc. On the other hand Nolan seems very much my way or no way. Is he a manager who will just dismiss other opinions and who will persevere with a particular course whatever. He can be ruthless as evidenced by lack of opportunity given to some players. That’s the worry for me. 

Can’t see the foul to which he refers re the 1st goal, can’t remember even a shout for handball during the match. I think they were unlucky with the disallows goal, if anything their striker was fouled as we were caught napping with the hoof over the top. Greens goal was not offside.
