Correct! And Robertson okay in patches is also right. Sometimes good, sometimes meh, and sometimes couldn't pass water. Will be good though.

When Stockport score next, I've got money on the ref running around after lifting his shirt over his head. Probably won't even book himself.

edit - we are losing on merit though. Comment about ref could be interpreted as me thinking we were unlucky. No we haven't been (but the ref still stinks)

He is good manager lower league but he has had funds at both his clubs to do it.

I get ya man... just daydreaming here a bit

No need to panic, the metrics say it's all down to luck despite the performance.

Just hope someone up top is paying attention to what is needed to get out of this, basement, league.

Wrexham are the spotlight club but these have big budget too and large squad.

Saturday be tough too as Cowley is here and they arent 100% safe yet either so will fight like mad.

A defense and a midfield would be a start 😀

I see a pattern here. when Notts lose, it's because our defenders are crap, but if Notts win, it's because Maynard has turned it round, and not the fact we have two attackers in the L2 team of the year. Yes, the defence is terrible but you could pick anyone off the street to manage us and they would still win occasionally because players like Jones are unstoppable at this level.

Not bothering watching 2nd half. Yes a couple of goals dodgy but the still created chances easily.
I'll pay for Baldwins taxi. Absolute liability every game. Will never make it as long as he has a hole in his arse

What a shocking performance so far. Stockport are way, way way above us. Not just skill, but basics like commitment. Nemane is the only one who seems to give a **** so far.
When Stockport move, forwards or backwards, they do it as a unit.
What do we do? Rely on passing around the back until we feck up each time.
J Jones looks like he’s too busy holding his trophy to run the wing.

Feels like most teams that traditionally used to be a level or two below Notts are loaded these days, compared to us.
Stockport were in the 6th tier not so long ago. Expect to see Scunny and Bury power their way past us in the pyramid with wealthy owners in ten or so years time.
