Richardson had a baptism of fire last night - lucky not to give away a penalty, was run ragged by their wing back and failed to deliver a single decent ball into the box. Anyone else think it was odd that DKE, our most consistent full back, was rested when the team had just had a week off anyway?

I keep on thinking about Barnett's first touch of the game, and how that set the tone for the entire night, but also Ruben Rodrigues is proving that his Dagenham performance was the exception in recent months. Very frustrating to see him give the ball away so cheaply, be brushed aside so easily and not be more involved linking up the play with the forwards.

Jimmy Knowles also had a dreadful game last night, couldn't do the basics and I lost count of the number of times he knocked the ball out of play. As for Sam's pathetic penalty - next time he should try a backheel flick, might get more power on it.

As for "rejoicing," I have yet to see one fan who doesn't want Ardley to do well. There are some who have given up on him, for sure, but no Notts fan is actively rooting for the manager to fail. Because that means we fail as a club and I'm not sure how much failure we can all handle.
