I was there and thought it was a genuinely captivating match, if one lacking in huge amounts of skill (probably in no small part down to the swirling rain and wind), between two teams who fought for every ball and made it very difficult for each other to play. There were moments of quality, too - Notts produced a couple of slick passing moves down the left in the second half that Alessandra saw shots blocked from both times.
It was no worse as a spectacle than several of the 1-0 wins that we ground out under Cotterill on the way to the title (with a much more naturally gifted side). Wins like that can look crucial come the end of the season.
