We may not have been spectacular but boy have we been professional about grinding out wins and clean sheets. Long may it continue!
I will firstly say I haven't seen us play this season (so far) but from the last 3-4 match reports from supporters Notts have been terrible to watch.
So the question is...
Awful football, boring to watch, worry about conceding all the time = 3 points
Or
Play exciting, fast flowing, oooow aaaaah football but win/lose every game
Substitute Arsenal with Notts County for that famous chant , 1 nil to the ..... ...... ! I was hoping tarquin hadn't watched it but I think that horse has bolted.
To be fair, I was a little OTT last week in calling it dreadful.....after watching today's game I think I can see KN's plan...and it's working.
1. Don't concede a goal at any cost....Crawley didn't have one shot on target
2. If in doubt....boot it out....today at least half a dozen balls went over the stands from our defenders (I thought Crawley had run out of balls at one stage)
3. Don't bother playing it out of defence, get it forward and let Yates (aka Vinny Jones's lovechild) and Milsom scrap it out for the leftovers
4. Wait for the one really good chance to come along....then bag it.
It's working....easy peasy

I'm just thankful we have a system, a plan, and the players know what it is. It's been an awful long time since we could say that.
