We may not have been spectacular but boy have we been professional about grinding out wins and clean sheets. Long may it continue!

I think my Match Ratings should be more acceptable to all this week.....normal service has been resumed in TarkersVille

I'm just thankful we have a system, a plan, and the players know what it is. It's been an awful long time since we could say that.

I will firstly say I haven't seen us play this season (so far) but from the last 3-4 match reports from supporters Notts have been terrible to watch.

So the question is...

Awful football, boring to watch, worry about conceding all the time = 3 points

Or

Play exciting, fast flowing, oooow aaaaah football but win/lose every game

We haven't been terrible to watch at all, against Swindon I thought we played some good football.

Today we had 6 shots on target to Crawleys 0

To be fair, I was a little OTT last week in calling it dreadful.....after watching today's game I think I can see KN's plan...and it's working.

1. Don't concede a goal at any cost....Crawley didn't have one shot on target

2. If in doubt....boot it out....today at least half a dozen balls went over the stands from our defenders (I thought Crawley had run out of balls at one stage)

3. Don't bother playing it out of defence, get it forward and let Yates (aka Vinny Jones's lovechild) and Milsom scrap it out for the leftovers

4. Wait for the one really good chance to come along....then bag it.

It's working....easy peasy

To be honest, that is the only way to play football. Some people have hoodwinked themselves into thinking that English teams, with English players can play 'Continental' style football, but it always ends in tears. As the old saying goes, if they don't score, you can't lose. Keep the ball in their danger area, not your own. Anyone remember Otto Rehhagel?
