I doubt he will. I was just posting what I would do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

4-5-1 with Aborah and Noble occupying 2 of the 3 centre midfield positions. Wide midfield any 2 of Campbell, Banton, Murray and/or Burke. Stead up front. Defence: Milson, Hollis, McKenzie and Hewitt Keeper: Pilkington

I agree with your sentiments but moron has a real meaning and JF isn't one. However, I believe his decisions are often moronic and sometimes worse. I know it's semantics but it means we can be very critical (I am) but not abusive. Apologies but I've always been a pedant! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He has!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2 subs at half time!!

Only 1 change, McKenzie back in. No Aborah. No Loach - is he injured? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Team I'd pick: Loach Hewitt, McKenzie, Hollis, Adams Banton, Aborah, Thompson, Noble, Milsom Stead Subs: McLeod, Murray, Atkinson, Carroll, Smith, Valencic, Edwards

Not until we see a reaction at home. I have no concerns about away performances/results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What did it say on the PowerPoint slide about being 2-0 to the worst placed club in the entire football league? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@erindoors many thanks for coming onto the board so give your insights and points of view. I don't agree with some of your decisions as you can see above, but I don't doubt your motives are good. I like this board because we can have a civilised difference of opinion, after all a lot of this is opinion not fact. (Except my opinions of course which are always correct...)

You make some good points @NewNottsFan. I did oppose the sacking of Moniz and the appointment of a rookie on the basis of risk. I don't change my view on those things, but I agree with you that now JF is the manager he should be supported. I think one problem on this board is that some of us hark back to days when football was an entertainemnt and a sport not a business - not that I blame anyone at NCFC for this change. I myself was brought up as an Evertonian in the era of 'The Golden Vision' (now there was a Scotsman!) when style was just as important, if not more so, than results. Then I moved to Monchengladbach and fell under the spell there also of entertainment before results. The style of players such as Alan Ball, Wayne Rooney, Colin Harvey, Duncan McKenzie, Pat Nevin, Dave Thomas, Kevin Sheedy, Trevor Steven, Gunther Netzer, Allan Simonsen, Stefan Effenberg, Lothar Matthaus, Marco Reus, Jupp Heynkes etc. etc. is what I want to see. The attitude that Hennes Weisweiler (the legendary Gladbach coach) had in responding to criticism following a 6-5 defeat at SV Werder, by saying he preferred it to losing 1-0. The attitude that led to Borussia using 2 teenage centre backs against Bayern this season, one getting his debut against Lewandowski (and winning 3-1). Of course it's not always successful but it entertains. Did you see Gladbach's match at Man City last month? Not enough players to fill the subs bench due to injuries, loads of kids playing so let's attack and try and play them off the park. I felt Gladbach did that in the first half despite going 1 down to a piece of David Silva magic and were winnning 2-1 until the legs went midway through the second half. Yes it ended in defeat and European exit but the feeling among the fans was that the players had done us, the club and its traditions proud. I club should be an ethos, a way of playing, a style, something to cherish and feel a part of. Under Ricardo Moniz, I saw some of the most fluid attacking football that I have ever seen in England. Of course it was of 4th division standard, but it was the attitude, the freedom, the movement, the enjoyment I loved. Like a number of my friends we were suddenly looking forward to home games and being happy even in defeat. Yes it's a romantic view, and leads to glorious failure at times, but I go to sport to be entertained, enthused etc. I go to a business to do shopping or something like that. Watch a tape of Alex Young playing, Everton beating Man Utd 5-0 in the mid 80's, The 2 superb Dinamo Kyiv teams under Lobanovskiy (a pupil of Weisweiler), the Ajax team of the mid 90's all of which I travelled miles and miles to watch on a regular basis. Notts are not going to reach those levels of performance, but any club can aspire to the same goals and dreams.

Another win buys JF more time. I opposed his appointment and still do, but 6 points from 3 games is an acceptable ratio. Now please entertain me at home Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For the draw to be achieved we have to defend like we haven't been able to all season, which won't happen Therefore we need to create scoring opportunities of our own, which won't happen I'm much more optimistic. Instead of "won't happen", how about "might happen if the sun rises in the west that morning"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The fine margin was between good (AFCW) and bad (NCFC)

The new manager has bought himself a bit of time (7 days)!

Adams I'd like to see given another chance the other two, no thank you.

The fact that Andy d'Urso is 4th official shows that he's there for the enjoyment not the prestige and money like some people think is what drives match officials. Good on him, it's not easy sliding back down a pyramid.

Notts were determined to fight for every ball. We had a bit of good fortune here and there, e.g. Bart's flap at a cross being headed off the line by Freeman, but it's along time since I have seen County withstand so much physical aggression, some legal - some not, so well. JCR was great again, even on a bog of a pitch. Good view from the away end, it was terracing when I was last there. I liked the touch of putting Notts pictures on the walls at our end. Friendly stewards, typical non-league in that way, but thugs on the pitch, wound up by a thuggish manager.
