Peterborough United have a new number one as 27 year-old arrives from Notts County

There’s a fair bit of negativity being articulated by sections of the fanbase, some of it on social media is embarrassing, ignorant and above all disrespectful. Look back at the gangsters, egos and others with their heart in the right place who have took ownership of the club in the past. The Bro’s having formed a highly successful, highly profitable football data analysis business, have decided to invest not only their money, but their data driven analysis into making our club successful. They have a history of appointing no name managers who stand up to scrutiny, who have delivered for Notts, playing the football that has 10k through the gates. The bookies and the media wind up the fans with long lists of names that were never coming to the Lane. The board take as long as it takes to know they have the right person who can partner their delivery of data driven technical analysis to improve the club and get us out of this league. These sections of the fan base who articulated their frustration at Burchinall, Williams and Maynar’s appointment later ate their words. Have faith in the project and get behind your team. COYP!

I honestlly think Luke will be an eccellent appointment. People spitting dummies out because he left to go to Swansea, should grow up. As a working man who has worked away from home, all I saw was a working man get a better paid job, where he was able to wake up in the same house as his wife and kids. who are and will remain his first commitment. It didn't work out at swansea. He can return to a place of work, where he is highly regarded and capable of doing his job. Bring it on I'd say.

I understand that Notts appointed a manager one week after the sacking of Stuart Maynard. However, they have not been able to announce it until he has completed his 4 weeks notice period at Virgin Media.

yes

I agree. With a decent defence, playing the attacking football he did. Albeit in NL. Some question his loyalty. His loyalty is to his family, they lived in Swansea. As a man who worked away from home, he was able to wake up in rhe same house as his kids. No brainer.

Luke Williams and Macca returning to Meadow Lane

I haver no issue with Luke going to Swansea. As a working man who has worked away from home, he had the opportunity to wake up in the same house as his family. No brainer.

If Donny beat Bradford (highly possible) and Wimbledon beat Port Vale (highly unlikely) then Donny will have won the league before they come to Meadow Lane for the last game of the season. If this is the case, then they'd have had a few beers and won't be as aggressive as they will if they need to win.... then we have chance.

Ordinarily, I'd say it's play offs, but every week the results from the teams in the top three and in the play offs change the positions. This week it was our turn to blob it. Others will, so hold the line and keep the faith. Worse case scenario we will be in the play offs. Wembley is a heart-breaking place to be heart-broken, but I'm happy to take the risk.

Matty Palmer plays the way he does because it suits the way the team is set up. Under the Brothers, Notts have a distinctive brand of football. The Notts team is built like a machine to play in a certain way. The purpose of each component is to perform in a certain way, in synergy with the other parts. Critics of this style cite the lack of originality and creativity that some players have brought to the role previously. But this is a team game and the team plays in a certain way under a certain purpose, and by and large it pays dividends. In answer to your question, yes perhaps, allowing MP a more individual roll, then perhaps he could deliver a different style, worthy of MOTM awards as an individual, but the bigger picture would fail. But he is a highly functional cog in a dynamic team. It is testament to his style, his intelligence and commitment to the cause, that perhaps he knowingly does this aware that it detract from the potential he could deliver. Also when certain 1st team parts are not in the machine, as evidenced by DC moving to MK Dons, or Didzy and JJ out injured, then perhaps the machine isn't as good as it can be. But, by and large, the Brothers system has worked. Long may it do so.
