⚽Match Thread vs. Maidenhead Utd. 10.12.22 [NL]

Was too tired and went to bed around the 70th minute, felt like a draw would be inevitable at that point.

Woke up to the good news, looking forward to seeing the winner!

I feel like our game means we're always going to leave space for breaks at pace, but to concede from corners is more worrying.

Also felt like our throw-ins were consistently terrible. Is that a one-off? Almost none ended up being progressive and way too many seemed to result in possession being lost.

Finally, I'm definitely going to sign up for a season pass for the streaming service - still annoyed that it wasn't free as I am sure I had read it would be, but it was also an easy route to getting the Beeb commentary.

Never saw it mentioned as being free but special offer til Jan

Saw 2nd half. Thought streaming was good. Showed all the goals at final whistle. Thought we looked a bit sloppy at the back, maybe the frost forming on the pitch didn't help. Slocombe just doesn't fill me with confidence. Nearly got charged down a couple of times plus doesn't command his 6yd box enough

Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick. I see the Notts page says matchday passes will be offered, but I could have sworn it didn't say that a few days ago!

The Notts page does suggest that international supporters won't be able to access matchday passes after Boxing Day, which I guess makes sense from a financial perspective:

From Boxing Day, the league intend to offer monthly and half-seasonal packages to supporters based overseas. In the meantime, individual matchday passes will be offered

Can't remember if it was the NL or Notts page I looked it up. All I know at present is 4.75 is cheap til then
I wonder how monthly passes will work if a few games get PP? Do they carry over or the team your playing that gets PP you get that game whenever it is played?

OchPie don't get me started on my No1 pet peeve with Notts County matches. They've been terrible and ineffective for the vast majority of seasons for as long as I can remember.

I've never been able to get my head around how and why we are so bad, can't do the basics and regularly lose possession. I used to think it was because unlike corners and free kicks we didn't practice them in training, they weren't considered important enough. But we've had dozens of different managers and head coaches in charge they can't all ignore it. Some of them must see what I see???

If we go back to consistently falling asleep on opposition's short corners I'm going lose it lol

Loss to Harragate, Grimsby keeps us in the National league

Disagree with the first one. There was a whole bunch of games we could have changed the season. Early on we should have scored against Colchester first game of the season giving us 2 extra points. We shouldn't have lost Yeovil at home 4-0 despite dominating. The loss to Cambridge in the 90+ minutes.

You can't use playoff's as a one of game changing a season examples. A loss ends the season sure but it's a lottery

Macclesfield was the nadir for me that season but agree with CBP there were a whole host of games that could have changed it.

Playoff games are not good examples IMO.

Also the Coventry game was a playoff semi final, if we had progressed there was no guarantee we would have won the final. We would have been favourites but that guarantees nothing.
