I warned you all in December pre the Rovers match their then current manager had had a "nervous breakdown on the Radio"

then AMAZINGLY he got headhunted by Swansea to save him getting sacked --- it's a funny old world

Anyhow  The Notts County Manager is having literally a "nervous breakdown"  and doesn't even recognise his team
at least he recognises his sieve defence -

he actually said the words in red on the radio - so you were warned !!

"magic mushrooms"  talking again you all thought at the time

Wow, Sutton have had a clean sweep, 19 gone.

Wonder if they will manage to get a team together and if they do expect they will keep dropping.

Agreed Petche, he slowed the game down to much and kept getting caught in possession

& thus not a McCann type of player.

He’s slowed it down but I don’t think he got caught out much in possession. Too smart for that.

He’s a good player but not really a modern midfielder. Put him back 20 years he’d deffo be playing higher up the leagues.

You have to be an exceptional technician to play the role that JB attempted with us.

Good player that he was, still sat far too deep to be able to create anything dangerous and penetrating from that starting position.

Hence the stumbling attacking flair we had with him at the pivot.

Hes p!ss poor as an all round professional footballer. Even more annoying that we made him look like f*cking Pirlo in both games we played against them this season. He has cost them an abundance of goals getting caught on the ball and you only have to watch his penalty in last years play off final to see how highly he still rates himself. Our midfield now would not give him a sniff.
