Match Thread vs. Boreham Wood 08.12.20 [NL]

This is why we will be play offs at best to win the league you need to win 5-7 games on the trot to chew the points up we won’t do that under Ardley he might win 4/5 but then will draw/lose next two.

Torquay are flying at the minute but I think Stockport will reel them in.

No point getting angry it’s standard stuff which we all knew about this team it is ISNT good enough to go up automatically.

Another point as I mentioned a few weeks back any point signing Wolfe?

It’s crazy that Doyle and Reeves have started every game (I think). I actually felt a bit sorry for O’Brien tonight when he did a few nice touches but then didn’t have the pace to get past his man.

Fatigue wasn’t an issue last season because we had a bigger squad and Ardley actually did well rotating the players. He’s just not got the same options this season, either due to injuries or lack of options.

We don’t have the strikers that are clinical enough to take the chances that come. The only exception is Knowles as we haven’t seen enough of him, Wooton, Sam and Thomas aren’t natural finishers. So what that means is that we need to create more chances in the hope we score one of them.
What needs to stop is this insistence of Ardley to play all 3 of the cart horses at the same time. One is adequate, 2 is too many meaning 3 is taking the piss. Any momentum the players got from previous games has diminished with al the changes.
I’m starting to think that NA and BoJo share the same ‘science’.

And do you know who is an even bigger cart horse than all 3 of them ??? Neil Ardley haha
This is why with our players , resources etc we still keep losing to teams with limited budgets, players and resources

Couldn't agree more, as soon as the team was announced I had a feeling it would end up in defeat.

I've stopped getting mad with losing at home to teams like Borehamwood. I'm now comfortable with the fact we're crap, have no real ambition to get out this league quickly and have settled in for the long haul. Maybe one day we'll get serious about getting out the league but knowing us it'll be in the wrong direction. Thanks for the memories Notts, I cannot equate my youth or even young adulthood watching you to this tripe on offer.

RIP.

I agree. There is no pride in supporting Notts these days, just embarrassment. This isn't the team we all started supporting, it's a shadow of itself. Mediocre players in a shocking league. The sides in the Conference this season are rubbish. I heard somebody describe Torquay as 'exceptional' earlier! Really?! If we don't get back to the league this season, I fear for the future.

The teams we have lost to this season alone show that we are now truly non league.

Only consolation hopefully is, Agent Ardley won't be here next season because he won't get us up. He is a very nice man though

Some on here were delighted with the line up & JOB being in the side

I will never be embarrassed about supporting Notts. Not ever.

That does not mean I am totally happy about everything at the club.

Notts fan for nearly 50 years, and as proud now as when I started.
