@theAnticlough absolutely spot on!
This 'model' works so well despite the naysayers - so pleased to see them proved wrong ... again!
Patto leaving? Yes of course if the famously silly offer came his way but Stockport isn't it.
Listening to his interviews he comes over has a really genuine guy, also very level headed and I am pretty certain knows where the grass is greenest.

Not sure I liked the guy. Particularly the video of his halftime team talk at Wembley which seemed to be playing to the cameras. (Salford obviously thought they would walk the game to have that set up at such a vutal moment)
Even so, 8th and 4th is a decent effort? Or with their cash have they under performed?

Oddschecker has Wimbledon in the bottom 4, with Notts 5th or 6th from bottom.
As @Robbie has said, the Brothers haven't gone to all this cost and trouble to fight a relegation battle.
The basis we have is so strong that 5 or 6 new signings should see us in lower middle table.
That would be a good start 👌

The only think that annoys me are supporters who critise a club who are doing very well everything taken into account as @theAnticlough and @Chris have both said.
Where we have come from in the last 5 years has been truly amazing. Let's be ever thankful!

Wishing him all the best. Sounds like a long layoff. Assuming he's at Addenbrooke Hospital in Cambridge he's in good hands. I did some work there a few years back and they are very professional.
Keep strong Lewis!

Last 4 years 3rd place were:
Bradford 78pts
Mansfield 86pts
Northampton 83pts
Bristol Rovers 80pts
So yes 85 points should do it, maybe 83 as this year is very competitive unlike the run away year of Stockport, Wrexham and Mansfield.
Is a further 22 points achievable?
6 wins, maybe.
4 draws, fingers very crossed.
Only 3 defeats.
It's squeaky time 😝

Has to be L1 in my opinion. We will do well to make the automatics this year given some really tough fixtures remaining. And then it will be the playoff lottery. So anything could happen. I just hope that the Brothers keep the faith with MP as I feel he has the attributes to be a successful manager at this level.
If he can't make it this year then, maybe next or even the year after. It won't be easy as some wild investors will come in again to another club and try to do a Wrexham or MK.

Totally agree @McPie . I feel MP has shown he has significant influence on the technical board. The signings of Ndlovu and Belshaw are clearly designed for the now in Division 4, while the others are a nod to the near future. In the case of Enoru and Tangen perhaps the not too distant future.

40 minutes ago, Robbie said: This result shows the unpredictability of this league. On their day, any team is capable of beating another team no matter where they are in the league.
Notts need to be at their best against Barrow and ensure there's no.potential banana skin on Saturday.
I almost feel more nervous about playing these teams than I do about the teams in the top 10.
Let's hope MP has instilled a robustness that we have seen lacking in the last two seasons.

Nice to see Stuart Maynard doing well
in Jimmy Sirrel Stand
Pleased for him...but more pleased we won't be playing them next season. That could have been embarrassing 😳
