Couldn’t have been any worse than the last manager we got from there… Interesting listening to the commentary on Saturday, JK mentioned Bogie and how he spoke to him on the Monday after he resigned and got a real impression that he felt he regretted the decision to resign.

Best decision bogie made even if he was sold down the river with the side going part time after he got the job to manage a full time team. it was never going to work for him that season.

Still very tight at the top, we're only 3 above Wrexham in 5th and 6 above Crawley in 10th, 7 wins on the bounce is brilliant but we need to keep it going to pull away and create some breathing space. It is, but wouldn,t it be great though to do a leyton orient or a forrest green getting a big cushion at the top. Shades of 1966/7 instead of biting nails and sorting out different permutations the last few weeks of the season. Others have done it, we have done it so it would not be a miracle of football doing it. This time last season my lot were 2nd. Us northampton & stevenage were all around 32 points. Didnt go back top until last game of October & stayed there. 23 games was 57 or 60. If you can get to that then WLD every 3 games puts you close.

Be great if we can do what Puggers lot did last year and pull clear and stay there, big if of course but the way we are playing it might just happen. That little voice is still telling me this is County and it can't be that easy can it? 🙄 Have a dodgy Janury &match everyone else to get it done.

Fair play to Milton Keynes people and the club (although I dislike them any other time)

Mike Williamson is the new mk dons manager confirmed (they've teased some news before they're game tonight) so it must be him

Expect some of this once he gets them playing his way.

Notts County have the same style but need a new defence As we’ve found at times. Finding players at L2/NL level who are both really good at defending and really good with the ball at their feet is hard.

Notts County have the same style but need a new defence Really? We would crossed that ball as soon as it got out wide! We were much more about using the wide CBs to create overloads in the wide areas or carry the ball up the pitch than knocking it about. Even now, I can't see us scoring a goal like that and that's not a criticism. We aren't a possession based team. We're prepared to go direct, especially with Wootton. Even with Tanto and Barry it's about moving the ball up the field quickly to maximise the space they have to play with, then bringing midfield runners into play. I get the impression DC would say why use 30 passes when 10, 5 or even 1 can do. When we play well, it's really effective and good football. When we aren't settled, often at the start of home games, we go too direct/safe which doesn't work without Wootton.

I could not watch them week in week out and there will be clips around where they have cocked things up with dangerous passing for the sake of it. Saw em live the first game of the season and were totally clueless how to break a 10 man pools down and ended up with a late sucker punch to lose. Its still ruskball even though another teams manager is playing it. Wonder if they were on the same course together.

At this level you will probably find more goals conceded through a bad pass at the back than scored, of course if you bring in the right players it helps but if you look at last season their record is similar to the teams around them, they ended up 14th so it looks like it doesn’t make that much difference, think our game is somewhere between as we also use pace, which is a far better watch
