Probably didn’t have it in him to say something nice about someone else, without giving himself credit for some tactical ‘tweak’ or other.

Great set of ratings but have to disagree with this. We were on top and generally good first half; then a half time sub which moved the positions of three players massively disrupted us and it was...
Much better overall today, particularly in the first half, though with the same frailties showing, it was still by far the best performance at ML under Maynard and an unexpected point against a good...
We shouldn’t have signed Derby’s best player who had just scored 25 goals and made the TOTS in League One (and who was so keen to join he approached us and was willing to earn a fraction of the...
He’s scored more goals in a lot less games. He’s definitely better than Rodgers - the disrespect on Langstaff is unreal! Jones would also be a certain starter, as would Palmer. The two teams couldn’t...
Slocombe - 6 - Personally didn’t think he could’ve done much with either goal, and can’t remember any other saves he needed to make. Was getting stick from the crowd for holding onto the ball too...
Came in to offer my ratings but can’t really argue with these. Given the pitch, that was one of Crowley’s best games yet, constantly willing to take the ball under pressure, deep in our half,...
I agree that any talk of the squad downing tools under SM is utter rubbish. Another reason that makes the form downturn under Maynard inexplicable is not only did he inherit a very good squad, he...
Slocombe - 9 - Best game in a Notts shirt, must’ve been in double figures for the amount of saves he had to make. The one call Maynard’s got right is bringing him back in. Deserved better than he got...
Pretty much agree with this but can’t see Langstaff nor Jones staying, there will be offers from clubs higher up the pyramid and, crucially (and probably in a big difference to January / last season)...
Bit concerning if he genuinely believes that the second half vs Sutton was the only half we’ve played badly under him.
The Crewe and Gillingham home games in-particular say hi.
A good set of ratings/comments. Think these are all fair, maybe .5 more for Nemane who was much more positive and threatening than in recent months…before then being moved back to full back reasons...
He can’t be blamed for the nature of the goals conceded tonight IMO, just basket case individual errors again.
But when we got it back to 3-3 he then decides it’s a great idea to needlessly change...
I agree - another example was their captain’s thigh high ‘tackle’ on McGoldrick which you often see given as red cards in the Prem, but we didn’t even get a free kick yesterday. If that’s one of ours...
From operating with a small squad earlier in the campaign where everyone was broadly involved, it suddenly looks like we’re carrying a lot of deadwood.
The following senior players haven’t made...
Agree largely with the original set of ratings. Feel like Maynard is probably overthinking and trying too hard currently, we changed system multiple times in-game today; this ‘flexibility’ has been...
From Colwick you’d be going past Meadow Lane to get there, but I’ve always considered County Hall as the best free place to park. There’ll always be space and only 5-10 mins walk.
He comes across as a nice guy, very authentic and agree in terms of style he’s much closer to Colin than Charlie Slater. Charlie was always going to be a hard act to follow as he was ‘above’ the...
Love this sort of mental gymnastics.
Refusing to count signings like Jones and McGoldrick, but ALL the less successful ones are 100% Radar. Including Randall presumably who Williams openly said...
Actually agree that LW was frustrated with elements of the recruitment, he said publicly we needed a proven EFL player to replace Bajrami, which never arrived, and clearly didn’t fancy Tipton or...
I’m not overly impressed either - recruitment is always a risk and you’ll struggle to find any club where it’s perfect. The keeper situation is a mess, I actually think we’d have been better starting...
We won his last home game 5-0 playing a fluid front six and probably the best football I’ve ever seen us produce at this level. Three days earlier, we won 3-0.
He undoubtedly needed to balance...
The worst home display of the season tonight, a deserved defeat. Gills very solid and well organised defensively throughout which when you gift them goals as well means it’s always going to be an...
Absolute reactionary nonsense. Not every signing has been a good one (when has that ever been the case?) but even if we’re going to discount Langstaff (£50,000, arguably pound for pound one of the...
Personally don’t think it’s a million miles away from the team we put out on Saturday (excluding Palmer for now), but the squad as a whole looks very strong as we’ve signed at least one player in all...
