I didn't watch the game so can't comment on the performance but a much needed three points and maybe the kick start we've been looking for. I'll take a win and move onto the next one.

That was certainly a get out of jail win today and it was pleasing that we managed to score two goals in stoppage time to restore the lead that we had taken mid way through the first half. So it's good that we got the win and all three points and yes I'm celebrating as all Notts fans should.
However this cannot distract or mask that once again the overall performance was not acceptable. We had a positive attacking threat for the first 23 minutes and the last 12 minutes plus stoppage time when we had gone behind.
So questions need to be asked why is it that we did nothing after we scored, but invited pressure from Chesterfield and conceded and let them come into the game for the remainder of the first half? Then after the restart why is it that second half we did nothing positive in terms of attacking play or have any meaningful chances for over half an hour.
Once we had gone behind on 78 minutes then it woke us up and we then had four corners albeit with no end product in the next ten minutes. When we did get forward we scored two just like that.
In future games we've got to improve and show some ambition and attacking intent for longer periods of the game and to repeat the same old tired line when we take the lead we have got to dominate and kill the game off.

Just popped in to see how we did as my interest in Notts is in decline. I would much rather that a decent bloke (Ardley) found his form then that we go through the rigmarole of changing managers and crossing our fingers that the right decision was made.
The degree of negativity and sheer nastiness on this fred is disappointing.
Thank goodness Swaley at least recognises that a game is 90 plus minutes long and doesn't end the minute you go a goal down.
