I spoke to someone at the club recently about this (although not this particular game) and was told the club are not able to do as many discounted games this year due to Football League rules. I'm not sure why it is, but they said there's a lot more rules about it now we're back in the football league.
Can we add a win, Lose or draw poll on these threads in future?? I've no idea which is the most popular of the 3 on what should be a straight forward 3 points
SM certainly does a good job of accentuating the positives!
But yeah, as for Notts defence, I think unless we bring in a completely new keeper and new back four we just have to admit we cannot defend to save our lives and concentrate on trying to score goals at the other end.
Hope he drops Cameron tonight
Did anybody watch the Coventry v Maidstone games last night. Maidstones left back Kyprianou
He looked a very very good player, shame we couldn't have used radar to replace our poor defenders rather than players who can't get a game or are made of glass
I've had a look at the highlights of the last match, and it strikes me that what people have been saying about lacking a leader on the pitch is bang on. After that first goal someone should have been giving everyone else a good *******ing and letting them know that it isn't acceptable. The same goes with me of the missed chances, there were a couple of headers which really should have been buried, but nobody seemed that fussed. Nobody seems to be worried about consequences.
There was a good story about Man U after Cantona's tangle with the supporter. They had played badly and normally they would avoid going to the dressing room to let Ferguson calm down, but they were all eager to see what he said to Cantona so they went back only to be completely eviscerated, whilst he just told Cantona 'Eric, you just can't do that sort of thing'. The point being all the players were scared of the consequences from Keene and Ferguson of a poor performance and consequently held each other accountable at all times (apart from Cantona and Keene!). We don't have that and I think the players are happy to accept a lower standard than they should.
