Why is the "best manager outside the championship" team currently 9th after 15 games?

Losing 3-0 Accrington Stanley at home must hurt. Away fair enough, but at home...

About as classy as your club and the furlough scheme during a worldwide pandemic. Doesn't get any lower than that.

I see your season is going as well as I predicted. Flipping 12th behind the likes of Barrow, Grimsby and Fleetwood, hahahahahahahaha I can't type anymore for laughing

Yeah, he's having a meltdown while we're top of the League.

Thought you had the best manager outside of the Championship? I read that on here last season in your zero challengers promotion season in the weakest National League in its history.

Yet a non league rookie has taken Notts top? What's the excuse this time lads?

Ay up me ducks! Greetings from the top of League one.

Thought you were going to p!ss League Two? Currently 11th

Its an easy puzzle to solve and I'm happy to help you out. 99% of the time its a really tough league to get out of. But every now and again the planets align and there's a significant drop in quality which allows the best backed and prepared club to romp it. Its my opinion that happened last season. But you still had a blinder of a season and had it won with ease with weeks to spare which is to be commended. I'd much rather do it as you did than like we did.

We took 16 years because we spent the majority of those years fan owned. Fan ownership isn't a good model, that's why so few clubs are and why even fewer who are have any success. There's obviously more to it but that's the short version.

I agree without our owners we'd still be kicking round 8th in the national league. But also I don't get that thats used as some sort of negative or dig. Every struggling club needs new owners and investment to succeed. AND WHAT? Like thats a bad thing. Weird take.

Re Wales. We didn't qualify - mainly because we lost Bale who we were hugely reliant on and because we had Rob Page as manager who is terrible. And generally we're a shit football team who now and again punches. Difference is we never ever expect anything, with good reason, we know what we are.

You won't finish anywhere near the relegation zone. I reckon play offs. Notts County are in big trouble I think. They've just lost 30 goals in Langstaff and they won't/can't sign a striker thats going to fill that void. They've signed a whole new defence too. You'll finish above them. The big hitters unfortunately will be MK Dons. Doncaster should be up there too and Port Vale look like they've made some signings of significance.
