Interesting. To be fair to Radion Nottm team(Slater/Stall), I find their views fairly accurate and honest. I wouldn’t say they’re biased.

For any normal fan I'd agree wholeheartedly with that summation if commenting on individual games , tactics and player perfomances.

However it loses all credibility when the person or persons who go home and away week in week out struggle continually to post anything positive or containing praise at all after a victory and/or good performance.

Instead they choose not to post at all#awol and just wait until the side draws or worse still loses and then all of sudden they find their keyboard and go crazy lol #balancenotbias

Those persons are a special breed, every club has them and different rules apply IMHO.

Taylor becomes a key player then. He's the main man for an entire side of the pitch.

What's behind a wing-back usually gives cover (a back 3) what's in front doesn't cos you very rarely see a front 3 ahead of them, so you're left with the wing-backs being your only real attacking options wide.
It took 20+ games to get a goal from RWB (but that was sorted as soon as Richardson came), we're still waiting for one from LWB - with assists, and general play kind of in line with these stats - just not good enough for a team with promotion ambitions.

Was Taylor dropped recently or has he been unavailable since Mid-Dec? If we want to mix it with Stockport and the rest of them we'll need to be potent on both sides of the pitch so we'll need him to be about as good as Richardson

Taylor is definitely a key ingredient to the wing back system. I rate him and not sure why he was absent mid December to until recently.

Richardson big improvement, although I thought he wasn’t at it on Saturday.

The whole wing back system is a massive discussion point. There were assists generated from us deploying this system that didn’t come direct from our either side. But, the movement created opportunities in other areas of the pitch. The system gets the best from Cameron’s capabilities.

The wing back system definitely works, but at home only. We should have a different approach away from home
6/7 attack minded players on the pitch away from home, for me is too many. Too many cooks and all that
I'd have been more conservative and played Francis and vinny instead of Brunt and Roberts, Bringing them off the bench if needed or even playing 4-4-2 with Eli and wootton up top
I've seen Notts away from home 6 times this season and the only time i thought they played ok was against a poor Yeovil team
At home Notts are a different team and have played some eye catching stuff

My limited tactical knowledge suggests we should be better away, when there’s more pressure on the home team to attack and we should be able to hit them on the counter. It doesn’t seem to work out that way though.

At home we have far less difficulty in breaking down a massed defence, even when the opposition have a lead to defend. As has been mooted on here, is that down to our bigger pitch?

It should be, but not sure it is. It's mainly me banging on about it really :(
Most fans think you add another big centre-half and ask full backs to 'push up a bit', but in reality it means reducing your attacking pieces from 5 to 4 (a big deal in itself) and trusting your wide attacking play on both sides to non-attackers most likely.
Great system for fighting a relegation battle, maybe not so good when you're trying to be 1st or 2nd out of 23 so have to attack games

I think that’s fair comment. I like Francis and like the fact that if he plays it allows Palmer to be more influential moving forward. Some good selection headaches ahead.

You’ve pipped me on away games. I thought we were decent 1st half on Saturday, with the wing backs. 2nd half poor, with change of formation.

I think it really depends on how the system is deployed and the personnel. Approached in the right way, the system can be very attacking, as we’ve seen with home performances.

England won the World Cup in 1966 without wingers and were called the "Wingless Wonders".

Won me 4s they did, for all you kids 4s is equal to 20p, not a lot eh? But it bought me three pints of M&B bitter.
