Xangsamhua Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Martin Allen on the realities of lower league management,good interview. Brilliant! Tough, but reflective. Modest, but determined. His research wasn't the best, though, not having any idea of the number of managers Notts have been through. Can he/they turn it around? It'll be tough, especially having lost on Tuesday against a lower-end side and with Brighton, Dons, Rochdale and Bournemouth to come. Still, a few weeks ago these players nearly put City out of the FA Cup, so there's some ability there. Self-belief and trust are really important in team games, so if he can work some magic in those areas, the team's got a chance. A small one. He sounds honest and sensible to me, and he's got varied experience, so he gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 County won a game and teh shakers are going up Nice one. I must admit that since Rochdale went up I've not been keeping an eye on Div 2. Several of my cousins support Bury so it's good for them and will be good to have the local derby back.

Xangsamhua Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 County won a game and teh shakers are going up Notts County on a roll. Two wins and a draw in 3 games; were 1-0 against Brentford until 90+3 minutes last night. County will stay up if they win one of their remaining games against Dons (away) and Brighton (home). Hopefully the Seagulls will have have lost interest by then and will gift a game to Notts. They'll go down if (1) Argyle win their remaining three games and Notts lose both theirs or (2) Walsall, Bristol Rovers and Dag & Red win both their games and Notts lose both. Still on the brink.

chavy Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Twitchy a**e time again at the CG !! Thought the last 2 games won by a margin of 3-2 have at least given us some hope of staying in the playoff positions. If we can't beat Scunthorpe & palace in our last 2 games then surely we have no right to contest the playoff games.....never mind reach the promised land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macclad Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 In Division 2 congratulations to Bury on automatic promotion,also little Accrington Stanley are currently in a play off place which is amazing considering the players werent paid for a couple of months and the fact that they are probably the poorest supported club in the league. Macc Town look to have survived to play a 15th season in the Football League but,sadly, Stockport County look certain to be relegated.....they have to win their last two games and make up a 35 goal deficit in goal difference ! The other relegation place looks to be between Barnet,Northampton,Lincoln,Hereford and Burton. In the Championship I reckon its QPR and Norwich for automatic promotion and Forest will sneak in by winning the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xangsamhua Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Well, Notts County have survived in League 1, eventually with 3 points to spare, so it's all smiles at Meadow Lane and on the Notts fan sites. Martin Allen seems to have brought a no-frills honesty to the job and things are looking good for the immediate future. 2012 is Notts County's 150th year as a professional football club. Sorry to see fellow promotees Dagenham and Redbridge go down, but Bournemouth and Rochdale, the others in the promotees' class of 2010-2011 did very well, the former to contest the playoffs. Notts will be a good side in 2011-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijit Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 What an end of the season for the mighty exeter, dicking the wednsday at hillsborough!!!. Were unbeaten in 8, winning 7, and 8th on goal difference and just one point of the play off's which with due respect I would have fancied us to push most of the team's that got there if not beat them and marched into the championship!!!. Were going to lose our star midfielder Ryan Harley to swansea and rob edwards,through retirement who with out him no doubts we wouldn't be where we are today, but even so weve got a really really good squad and with our manager ' paul tisdale, who is 100% a star,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Tisdale, look down to his coaching record, all looks well for next season, COME ON YOU RED'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unlucky rochdale,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Sorry to see fellow promotees Dagenham and Redbridge go down, but Bournemouth and Rochdale, Unlucky rochdale,. Cheers for the thoughts of Rochdale fellas. Personally, although the play-off money would have been more than welcome I can only think that going up another division so soon would not have been good for the Dale. Still, they did themselves proud in their first year. Good luck to Notts County and Exeter next year. Don't know about you but I think it's gonna be a long summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soihok Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Talking of Swindon. Sheffield United, now a lower league club , have appointed Danny Wilson as their new manager. Which has come as a surprise to most fans. Unfortunately for Danny, he has been welcomed by car park demo's and internet slanging for him to get out as soon as he's arrived. Sad state of affairs and truely disgraceful behaviour by certain groups of Sheff Utd fans. Just because the guy used to play for and manage Sheff Wed, he is being shunned. I remember my Grandad ( RIP ) used to go to both Sheff Utd and Sheff Wed games, when the city was unified, ( he was a Sheff Utd season ticket holder). Just as well I don't have to live there.
