And just as you think Notts have turned a corner..... Possibly our worst result ever!! - our bench looked very weak, we have been promised signings for weeks on end but nothing!!

Where have signings been promised?

They weren't part time though and finished 5th that season, us 19th. Going into the game they were 8th, Notts 19th.

I’m talking about league results in the context of what we can reasonably hope to expect. If I need a reality check then please provide it by giving me the results that you think were worse than this one.

Dagenham 6-1 Notts County
2008.

Really bad, but that was in League 2 against a full time club.

While that was bad, in my opinion this was worse.

OK then. Let's leave it there...

Daggers finished just outside the PO's in the 2008-9 season and we finished 22 points behind them in 19th. We were one of the League's whipping boys.

In my opinion this defeat is probably only second to the expunged defeat at Dover because “the grass was too long”. If you can point out any shocking losses I’ve missed (and there may be some) then please do so.

I can’t be arsed to go through the whole of history. But every time we lose to a so called smaller side it’s the worst loss ever. There have definitely been worse defeats than today. Mainly in the cup, but is that not normally the case for most sides worst losses?
The irony with all of this, is that some folk sound as arrogant as those across the Trent that they despise. We are massive. Our history. We have better resources blah blah blah. We lost because we weren’t clinical, Dorking were. We made mistakes, they made less.
Today was a massive off day, but one we can recover from and one we weren’t massively punished for by our rivals.

What non league side did we lose to in the cup at home after the owners had just appointed their messiah Burchnall?

If we're talking all-time rather than living memory and going off the result alone and not factoring in the performance, I think I've got one that would be difficult to argue with in terms of FL results, given that we were at home and who we were playing against and the league positions at the time. Let's just say 1931/32 season if anybody really wants to look it up, I can't bring myself to type it out, but that was against fellow full time professionals.

Part-time opponents makes a huge difference. OK we were away today and playing on a plastic pitch, but part-time has to be the decisive factor unless Dorking go on to defy the odds.
2/1 to get relegated straight back down to tier 6 South according to odds checker.

It's a travesty the 3 points weren’t given to us at 3pm today, what with Dorking being part time and all. There's a definite sense of entitlement from a few posters on this thread.
