The annual Sack game - Hartlepool v Notts County

[LongEatonPie]

So we are at this time of year where a Notts County Manager gets the sacked, will Moniz be the third to fall after playing Hartlepool.

Honestly I have no idea, I have never known a Notts side so good at home but desperately poor away. Generally it has been the other way round in the last 4-5 years.
I am also beginning to get tired of the excuses RM is giving after defeats.
I am going for a 2-2 draw, I think that might be enough for him to keep his job, for now at least.
I can't see us doing anything this season now so we may as well keep him until next season at least.

A comfortable win for Notts should ensure he is in his job until mid January at least

We have to win an away game at some point. Can't remember us getting points up in Hartlepool very often though.

God knows what is going on with this team. We seem to lack discipline or belief at times. We can't keep goals out and have a tendency to gift goals. On the flip side, when we are in full attacking flow we are pretty good and score goals.

The shocking thing is that we are still 15th having lost nine already. Play offs will soon become a distant dream at this rate

Thought you'd be doing better with players like Stead,McCloud & Sheean.
You were even more dogshit than us against Salford & that takes some doing.

They have a clueless manager who has no idea about lower league English football and he can't get the best out of his players and as a unit.

You been reading their forums too.

Its seems the County fans are split 50/50 between 'we have top 7 quality players but a crap manager we need to get rid' and 'we have average players and a manager still finding his way, we should stick with him'.

Hartlepool meanwhile are slipping back into King Ronnie's favoured situation, keeping a team in the division. Maybe he'll get them rock bottom and pull off a miracle again, he enjoyed it so much last time he wants to do it every season. We expected so much more from them.

We might have top 7 quality going forward but we are absolutely awful at the back. How much blame goes on Moniz is up for debate but sacking him won't change the fact that we have a geriatric keeper and no reliable centre backs.

Carroll was awful on Saturday, and very lucky that referees tend to give keepers the benefit of the doubt when they go down after a collision in the box.

We always feel sorry for a sitting duck. I've no doubt you'll get something. In fact I'll be surprised if we get anything. Score in the first half hour and you'll probably win. Our heads go down faster than a ten bob prossy.

Yeah,actually enjoyed my Saturday night no feeling of depression after our usual defeat.
