Don't really know what he was thinking TBH. 1st goal there was a pass the instant he got the ball. 2nd goal 100% pass to Stone with time available.Quote:

…and he didn’t put it in Row Z either which weren’t the best decision for either but whatever if I said it was black you would say white …you sad miserable auld manQuote:

After he failed to pass the ball to Stone, in both instances, if his brain had been working instead of being befuddled with "possession" he would have put it in row Z. Better row Z than in the back of the net! Don't you agree?Quote:

There's a lot to be said to for having a small squad and sticking with the same players mid-season I think. In August you always hear talk of needing time to gel, yet in January players are expected to slot straight in and hit the ground running.
This is the 4th tier, players will make mistakes at this level and there's clearly a trade off in our case and we're still at a point where it's mostly paying off.
Last promotion season from this level we used 25 players, the season we came back down we used 46. They've got to be sure of an improvement to shake things up.
Just got back home after trip to Nottingham including this game.
I do not think I have ever been so dispirited after a Notts game. We have truly gifted Shrewsbury a third round tie. The defending is beyond bad. Are they being paid to throw matches??
Seriously pi55ed off.
