  3. I've listened to the 2nd one first..... again a really good insightful interview by @TheMagpieCircle Here is my take, reading between the lines: 1) Recruitment: Brano's appointment an absolute disaster waiting to happen ( had he been a head of recruitment elsewhere?..no, I think is the answer) 2) Recruitment : Derry seemingly signed players on "other peoples" recommendations, without ever seeing them play. Jimmy Sirrel did the leg work, travelling up to Scotland midweek to see games... I never got that impression that Shaun put in the miles? he mentioned Greg Abbotts in depth knowledge of L1, L2, Conference...so why did we end up signing the likes of Hayhurst, Wroe, Santos on loan.... It just doesn't hang well together. Bajner being a case on point, signed up on the basis of a call from his agent 3) Budget cuts.... I think people are missing the flip side to this equation. The Trews, probably still had the financial legacy of the Munto fiasco to continually to sort out. Also, maybe, writing without any knowledge...did the Trews have the necessary "dosh" coming in to finance the budgets...hence the cuts being made. I recall Chris Kiwomya saying his budget had been cut by a third...so this was ongoing...
  4. The wood...are they good at chopping?
  5. @menzinho I think Chicksen was a panic signing. The times he has aimlessly punted down the line and lost possession is probably the reason why DKE is the preferred choice now
  6. @Super_Danny_AllsoppI actually liked Jay Smith, especially at home versus Morecambe, he bossed the game from midfield with his passing...and yes, he was lightweight.... I am surprised no one has mentioned the Dagenham manager, Daryl McMahon...having played too for Notts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_McMahon I could never understand Thommo's fixation with playing Ian Ross. His career, post Notts, says all you need to know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Ross_(footballer,_born_1986)
  7. As @Super_Danny_Allsopp said, re Myles Weston "Couldnt cross to save his life". He made his Notts debut 7 April 2007 in a 2-0 win over Boston United. Notts team that day: K Pilkington D Pipe M Edwards S Hunt G Silk A McCann A Parkinson J Smith I Ross L Dudfield J Lee Substitutes M Somner T N'Toya J Walker M Weston M Byron Myles joined on loan from Charlton with James Walker, who looked the far more impressive player: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Walker_(footballer,_born_1987) I remember being disappointed in us not signing James
