There is actually a really good thread on here about Nolan having a 'plan B', worth a read.
Notts County set themselves up as a long ball team, claim everything, muscle & strength etc
We should have gone in at half time 3-1, 4-1 (or nil had the referee seen the push by Stead
)- and we didn't due to our own failings, thats fine. But during that half it was amazing that Notts County couldn't do anything at all- there was no attempt to stop what we were doing, there was no attempt to change anything- it was just a case of stick doing the same old things and hope.
