This is sodding awful, it's like we've lost the ability to do the very basics. FGR playing some good pass and move football and could be 2-0 up.

Think we need Ameobi on so we can actually hold the ball up.

Interesting game...Notts look nervous, cannot hold onto the ball, passing it around the edge of the box instead of "going for the kill"....when FGR break they look very neat and we're not putting the tackles in.....we just kept on backing off to gift them their goal

If Notts score early in the 2nd half then FGR might crumble..Forte is playing well.........if not, the crowd are getting angry already near the camera mic..."lot's of effing and blinding"

Let's face it, those of us who know a bit about the game and Notts County have suspected all along that the club has been very lucky to be where they are.
All the signs are there that Notts are going to repeat the pattern of scoring on the counter away and living with fear at home.
The ridiculous forecasts of 4, 5 and 6 goals for today were never going to happen because Notts haven't got it in them.
My warnings a few weeks ago that it all might turn into dust were jumped on because the supporters of this club - like they did with Trew - want to dodge the uncomfortable truths.
The only hope of getting back in this is with an in-form Ameobi and that's asking a lot for a man who's been injured for 4 weeks.

I'd suggest scoring two goals quickly might be a decent strategy

Actually I do still think we'll win this....Forte is playing well, if Hawk and Grant just up their game in attack....2 or 3 goals is not impossible....fingers crossed

Seems our good luck has run out!!

Oh no have they ended the game early?

Looks like the curse of Manager of the Month is going to strike again. I remember Warnock getting it at Notts, we lost the next two games 1-0 and 4-0.

Just had a look at Notts 1st team squad to see who could be brought in the team to improve things - "Not happy reading I'm afraid'
