Notts County completed 860 passes against Doncaster yesterday. We completed 810 passes combined in the Wrexham 5-0 and Sutton 8-0
Obviously they are really good at passing but would we get bored if we passed it that much?

When we had Rusk that’s exactly what we did. Rusk could only dream of completing that many passes in a game. It's an absolute myth and almost a compliment to him that people say we played possession football under him. Look at Southend away, we went 1-0 up and sat back all game and grinded it out. We definitely wasn't a possession team under him (unless there's any stats to back it up), we were just a shit team.

On paper mansfield have had the easiest ever christmas matches. Both at home against out of form grimsby and doncaster. We have had two away battles at barrow and on to bradford.

Oh we did - they were just all completed in our own penalty area!! 🤣 In fairness though Notts has almost zero penetration all game.

We definitely wasn't a possession team under him (unless there's any stats to back it up), we were just a shit team. I did a spreadsheet for the Gannon/Rusk season. We averaged 55% under Gannon and 51% under Rusk. As someone who sometimes has to deal with numbers sometimes for a living, I feel obliged to say that’s probably not a big enough difference to say. What was potentially telling, though, was that there was a positive correlation - albeit not a very strong one (+0.3) - between possession and wins under Gannon, and a negative correlation - again admittedly not very strong (-0.3) - between possession and wins under Rusk that season.

Bailey back to them much more likely now, as much as I hate to say it. Really hope we’ve got a deal signed already.

Baileys form here would have put pressure on wood. Remember when young was here and Dennis was at macc it heaped more pressure on young as Dennis was going so well. However it depends on bailey. If he said I don't want to come back to Salford and I if I do I'll disrupt your training sessions then he could force a move. I still think bailey could come here.

Yes, there is no guarentee he,d bring his County form back to salford either. Not every player plays well for every club they play at and the new salford manager will know how poor he was for them.
