Why not give the young 'uns a go? If there's any not out on loan, you wouldn't be short on enthusiasm they'd all be determined to put on a show.

Fan of Big Tone. According to Maynard in his after match interview the reason why he didn't put Jatta on was the fact (according to the Gaffer) Notts weren't putting in enough crosses into the box?? I think that proves how inexperienced Maynard is at this level, I think any other manager would have thrown the Big Guy on just to see if he could shake things up against the Dons defence. By saying that Notts weren't putting in enough crosses into the opposition's box, does this mean SM thinks Jatta can only score with his head? I admit that does sound Crazy from me, but there you go.

Fair point Robbie. But if Warnock came back to the Lane, I don't think it would be a backwards step (in my opinion) as I stated the guys Experience would be a vast benefit to a Manager of Maynard's standing. Not only that it may cause a stir in the Media, which could also help Notts. The other thing is will Maynard be given time ? Already on other platforms he's being compared by other fans to Jammie Fullerton and Harry Kewell, and we don't need to be reminded of their reigns at the Lane. Another point is will the Brothers keep SM or will they bow to pressure of certain Fans? Who only want to see a winning Notts team, they may be only Fair Weather Fans, but if there's enough of them and they vote with their feet and crowds at the Lane drop from 11,000 to only 6-7,000 or lower then the financial situation could change the dynamic at Notts. Everything at the moment is up in the air at N.C.F.C and we fans can only sit and wait, to see how things turn out. I have every faith in the Brothers to deliver the right answers to the Magpies problems.

I went into a record shop and asked the assistant, What have you got by the Doors? He replied a bucket of Sand and a Fire Blanket. I sat in a restaurant with the wife and the waiter brings in some tiramisu and a blindfolded horse. I said No Mascarpone. So I was steering the boat with my stomach muscles, Ab Sailing. I was stood with my mate at his wife's grave. She doesn't know that, she thinks it's going to be a garden pond.

I would have certainly taken a 0-0 draw, but once again Notts failed with their game management. What's to do? Well it's quite easy to lay all the blame at Stuart Maynard's door. But let's not forget the Recruitment team must also take a huge chunk of the Blame, has they knew the Notts defence had been abysmal since the season's start and they did nothing to change that position in the January Transfer Window. And let's not forget the Magpies were being found out while Luke Williams was still, at the Lane. Things may have been better if Williams had stayed, but I believe Not by Much. The most glaring difference ( to me anyway) is that Luke Williams man management skills are far above Stuart Maynard's. Williams could coax top performances out of mediocre players, players who really are NOT League 2 standard. Unfortunately both Maynard and we Fans are now finding that out, and there are an awful lot of them. The only thing Notts can do is battle on to the end of the season and have a Massive Shake Up during the up coming off season. Certain players must be let Go while others need to be released from their contracts. In my opinion there are maybe 10 worth holding onto, but three of them maybe gone in the Summer. I see Neil Warnock as left Aberdeen, now I'm Not saying he should replace Maynard as manager at the Lane, but could he be found a role, Director of Football or some such? His Vast Experience could help Maynard to extend his footballing knowledge and stop Notts playing this Tippy Tappy Football where they have 73% possession but only 1 shot on goal.

Maynard Out, get Out of My Club Notts diving into a Relegation Battle. And other such posts being screamed about on Social Media. The Booing at the end of this evening's match told it's Own Story and lets be honest Who even the Most Loyal Notts Fan wasn't disheartened by this display? The Magpies were at Home the team facing them are bottom of the League it should have been a cut and dried 3 pointer. The way things are going Notts might not get another point this season as Fans have stated and who can blame them? Stuart Maynard may last till the end of the season or we might see Jim O'Brien back in the Caretaker Head Coach role. What ever happens, the Players must also take their share of the Blame each one should take a long hard look in the Mirror and ask themselves Could I Do Better? And lets face facts there are a lot of Notts players who are Not League 2 standard. Luke Williams with his man management skills could get the best out of mediocre players, but unfortunately the present Gaffer can't. If he is to survive Stuart Maynard needs to to ditch his current game plan and start from scratch and learn how to grind out results even if it means sticking all eleven Notts players behind the ball if it means parking the bus then park the bus and then hope to get a goal on the break. Even a 0-0 Draw is better than a loss.

Yeah liampie I guess I got slightly off topic apologies. It was just that I thought Stuart Maynard gave a good interview about this evening match and I wanted to comment on it.

Isn't Leigh Curtis with Derbyshire Live now and reports on the Rams. ? It was a shame when he left Nottingham Live, Because the Notts coverage since his departure as been very poor and hardly exists. Then most of the articles that do appear, there's No Comment section for Fans to express their views. Here's a Wild Thought lets put a couple of youngsters on the bench ala Jurgen Klopp. Crazy I Know.

gtownjohnno care to expand on your opinion? Is it a bad thing the gaffer is interviewed that way? How would you like the interview to be done? I would think even if it was as you say to well rehearsed it was professionally done and more entertaining than listening to others who obviously come across as not wanting to be there and just trot out the same questions in the same monotone voice.

Just watched the Gaffers interview regarding tonight's match. And what a nice surprise an interviewer who asked intelligent questions and didn't sound half asleep, I think the Notts Media Team need to stick with just this guy because other so called interviewers just ask Stuart the same questions , but in a different order and sound about as interested in asking questions as I am becoming a Forest Fan.

My mate Des had a hip replacement and asked his surgeon could he have the bone for his Dog. I must Remember when the Wife says she wants treating, for her birthday it doesn't mean with a coat of Cupronol. Wood stain. So I was having my eyes tested and the guy asked, when were your eyes last checked ? Never I said they've always been Blue. If you want laugh when you go to get your eyes tested and the optician comes in really close and asks What can you see ? Say I can see dead people. Scares the Living Daylights out of them.

I got stopped by the Law. Been drinking have we Sir? Asked the Copper . I've had a couple , don't know about you officer. Got pulled over again the Policeman asked have you been drinking? Yes I replied 9 pints of Lager, 3 double whiskies and a Spiced Rum. Would you mind blowing into this bag Sir? Why ? I asked Don't you Believe Me? Me and a couple of mates staggered out of the Pub, in the car park a bloke had his head under the bonnet of his car. Wassa Marra? I asked. Piston Broke. Said the guy So am I mate so am I.

I don't like the word Wife, so I always introduce her as my ex-girlfriend which is pretty much the same thing really. My Wife knows everything about wine, like which wine goes with which Breakfast Cereal My Wife is a foot shorter than me, she doesn't even know I'm bald. I met my Wife on Jury Duty, that's how she got off.

Fan of Big Tone how right you are, regarding Stuart Maynard reading some of the comments on other platforms it seems some Fans have condemned Stuart Maynard to the scrap heap, with remarks like he's totally out of his depth, Go back to being a BT Engineer, we need a manager who knows League 2, Notts going straight back to the National League etc etc. But as other Fans have pointed out. Maynard is trying to different things and trying to find a winning formula and that will take time however it's seems certain Fans don't want to give him that time. It would also seem that players and Fans are still having Luke Williams withdrawal symptoms because the guy made an incredible impact with both players and Fans, but he's gone to pastures new, it's No Good Living Off Past Glories, that too as gone, and as soon as the players and the Fans accept that and embrace the New regime at the Lane the better. Maynard as one hell of a job on his hands and he knows it, as would any manager stepping into Williams shoes.

I know he's only had a second half appearance and he needs time to get in the Notts playing Style (such has it is), but I think Jatta is in the Eli Sam mould more than the Shola Ameobi mould. That is like Sam he'll come off the bench and get the odd goal, rather than Ameobi a big intimidating forward who scores and sets up goals. This probably seems harsh but I can't get rid of the nagging doubt I have in the back of my mind, and Nothing would please me more than to be proven wrong.

I once went fly fishing and caught a 7 pound Bluebottle. Me and the wife were staying at a nice hotel, we went down for breakfast first morning, there was a sign which said Breakfast 7am until 11 am. I'll tell you by 9 O'clock I couldn't eat another thing. I remember for our last anniversary I took the wife out No Expensive Spared. I even booked a table, which was a waste of time, she only potted three balls all night. What about that woman at the Diving World Championships, she's on the the diving board and she's got a fresh water fish under one arm. She dives off does a triple back somersault with Pike.

After the 5-1 drubbing Notts took in their opening game back in the EFL at Sutton, the Magpies really owe them and as they are the bottom of the League nothing less than three points will do and a 4 or 5 Nil victory would really be revenge for Notts. Looking at the remaining fixture left this season, unless things improve dramatically at Notts I can't see the Magpies getting more than between 15-20 points in the games left this season.

You're so right Robbie, Notts need to learn to win Ugly my only worry is that their current game tactic is so ingrained that they won't be able to play any other way. I do so hope I'm wrong. The sign of a Good Team is they can adapt to the way any opposition plan and counter it as Crewe proved. As you stated in another one of your comments there needs to be one Hell of a Shake Up down the Lane in the Summer hopefully by then Cedwyn Scott Matty Palmer and Badge will be back from their long term injuries, and certain players will be let go and others released from their contracts. And both Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley will be offered extended contracts and who knows there may even be a New Man n the Dug Out as well. We'll have to wait and see.

Even more Ammo for the Anti Maynard gang, but after today's performance well who's not to say they don't have some points. This tippy tappy Football tactic was coming unravelled when Williams was still at the Lane and Maynard was bought in to carry on with this tactic and tighten the defence up, well the defence on occasion have not leaked as many goals in some recent matches but the Magpies still lost those games. Is the new Gaffer out of his depth ? Are certain players not up to League 2 standard? It would seem like it, Maynard came in when Notts were facing the top teams in the Division , but that excuse is starting to wear thin for some Fans and only gathering 4 points from the games he's been in charge doesn't bode well for the Gaffer. It would seem Notts forwards have forgotten how to score. This possessional Game Plan Needs To Be Scrapped and a new way to play needs to be introduced, sooner rather than latter or the Magpies decline will continue, Even if it's only going back to the basics. Crewe had three shots on goal and scored each time and were clearly the better side. If this losing streak isn't stopped a lot of Notts Fans are going to start looking for other things to do on a Saturday afternoon.

OOOPS Jokes disappeared don't know why.

What about the Football Team playing in the Europe for the first time , they're away in Germany, hold their own then in the last three minutes of the game the German Centre forward scores three goals. The Manager had to go to hospital for Jerry Hat Trick treatment. My Mum always told me there's always one weirdo on every bus. But I could never find him. Then there was the time my watch stopped half way through a minute's silence. I couldn't tell anybody, I was stood there for hours. I need to go and have my eyes tested, I never see the wife until I'm on top of her.

Three old guys sitting on park bench, first old man says it's Windy, his mate says No it's Thursday and third bloke says So am I lets go for a pint. I was once asked in I believed in reincarnation, I said No and I didn't believe in it when I was a Frog. Plural it's Binoculars. While singerly it's Telescope. Every time me and the wife make Love, I put a pound in a glass jar at the side of the bed, then come December , I take all the money out of the jar and buy the wife her Christmas present with money. I'll tell you what, she's Not getting that New Coat She Wanted.

I think this kid has a promising future down the Lane. And it will be interesting to see how he plays along side Matty Palmer, when Matty is back from injury and back in the team.

Regarding those who ask the questions in these interviews I hope they aren't getting paid. The first guy seems Ok but the other two sound like they've just woken up!! Their questions are all the same only put differently, there's no questions about how Jatta's settling in, is SM considering him for a place on the bench ? How does he think his new striker will fit into the Notts set up? It's boring and mundane. The Lass who questioned Stuart Maynard in his first interview after being confirmed as the new Notts head coach sounded professional and asked the right questions.

You know when your Love Life gone down the drain, when your making Love to your wife and she puts the Ash tray in the middle of your back. My mate Danny he's a bit of a Lad, spent his life in and out of prison, anyway I met him in a pub the other night, he told me he 'd just robbed a place and he had two pictures in the boot of his car, one worth £1.7 million and one worth£1.9 million, would I like to see them. Yeah Ok I said. In the car park he open's his car boot and I had a look. Danny I said you've robbed an Estate Agents. I went to the Doctor's and he asked for a stool sample, so I've enrolled in a basic woodworking class, the Doc did looked concerned when I said it will probably take a couple of months for me to produce. I'm currently studying my families history. One of my Great Great Uncles knew, the exact day he was going to die. A judge told him.
