  1. Things such as contracts do need tying up. As the merry go round spins again, it can easily become blurry, but the core of a good team is there if they can be kept and built upon.

    Let's hope JF does start successfully and all the fans, me included, can be tempted to back the club. I fear for the club if it goes pear shaped because players, as you mention, Stan etc.... Will move asap knowing they can play there trade in more stable environments.

  2. Hurst has Β decent win ratio about him though. If we look at the usual no marks like Danny Wilson, the list isn't too bad if we believe the press as to who is on it.

    Cooper

    Hurst

    Wilder

    Sheridan

    Powell

    Not a bad manager amongst them.

    Then you add in Baraclough and you can begin to worry as knowing Notts from that list it'll be him or somebody like Purse with no experience, but did well in interview.

    For me it's one job where the interview should consist of "Do you want it? Would you do it for this much and have this much for transfers."

    All the rest of the interview is a waste of time.

    Let's hope we don't go too left field.

  3. thanks for the article, but the appropriate part was the bit 'dropping like a stone.' The home from was atrocious and that ties back to the entertainment comment in other posts. SD nice bloke, wrong time and lack of experience and in my opinion, a sensible guiding assistant manager. Laurel and Hardy had nothing on those two!

  4. So far the new rollout has gone very well. I like the activity centre (which for me replaces the 'live' centre as I don't often get the chance to read the articles on a daily basis, more popping into the forums and seeing who has posted what.

    Keep the improvement comments coming. I still think the site is a little slow loading compared to others though @notts-joe. There you go. A negative!

  5. A good read Tom. Unfortunately Notts fansΒ don't 'do' calm and tbh, the performances seem quite strange considering the talent the squad has. Silly mistakes like yesterday keep happening and team shape is a regular issue. Interesting to see if Smith and Carroll get dropped because of it. Carroll has been doing this for a while now though and it's been coming for a long time. Good keeper? Yes. Arrorgant? Yes.

  6. I would agree with the points raised, but go onto to say Moniz will choose his team and encourage his players. I get the feeling, using the Bennett example, he may well be shipped out again or left out for a while now when it comes to critical points of the season.

    Sharpe is a young lad. He will mould to the manager immediately without concern, and looked ok when he came on yesterday. In fact he was ecstatic to get the nod and hugged Moniz for calling him back from the warm up to go on the field. The older ones, not so sure.

  7. Thanks for the great article @Canadian. Can I just say about the photo choice. It s classic. @coby cheering on with the scarf and Jake with his hand over his face thinking ' he's doing it again. I wish he'd sit down!!!'

  8. Like the article, but I honestly feel that the transfer 'panel' is really GB or RM saying to Ray "we like this one can we have him" and Ray going "go on then. I'm in a good mood!"


    In all seriousness the panel has got to be a good move for the club long term because we have been lumbered with players previously who have failed and failed spectacularly. This is not to say it wont happen again, but the more we do to involve other people in the decision, the more the responsibility is shared.


    The concern was always that RM would loose his overriding vote in the panel, but it seems that the players in are all of his type and have some background with him or the countries he has managed in.


    Good job Notts, all of you involved.


  9. Well done for keeping it respectful SD. Nice to hear he still loves the club etc...rather than sounding bitter. An honest appraisal about the results being the judge as well. I would say style had a bit to do with it, as well, but fair play to him.


  10. I think Derry and Co need to have instilled the basics back in the players. Defence especially. Cant see anything from mk Dons at he weekend, but Scunny is doable!

    As a club? Not sure. I appreciate the way the Trews have took hold of the club, but maybe the time to change is coming closer if they can find a buyer.
