Match Thread vs. Eastleigh 17.04.21 [NL]

[KCNotts]

God awful. We were not great near the end of Ardleys tenure but we always looked to be able to grind out a result and score some goals. Looks like we have traded down to a Sunday league pub manager.

No we didn't!!! Jesus you have such rose-tinted glasses when it comes to Ardley. We were completely toothless under him. We could barely muster a shot on goal. I would agree that we were more solid at the back, but that's because of the awful, defensive football he played.

Please stop bringing Ben Turner back, I beg.

Whats the betting Doyle 1st change.. but not for Reeves??!!!

Doyle for Griff, who actually hasn't played too badly. Straight after half time is my guess.

Does anyone know what time we’re kicking off?

God, that was the same to-me-to-you dross we’ve suffered for all of 2021. We need some drive and will to win from somewhere.

[bouncingoffthewalls]

We had a shot!!!

Turner has aged quickly since coming back from injury late last season. At the start of his Notts career he looked like the kind of old fashioned centre-half we had needed for years, but he has regressed dramatically and Rawlinson has pretty much assumed the lead centre-back role. It's fair to say Turner now is light-tears away from the defender who once played his football at Championship and briefly Premier League level.

I wouldn't bank on that, Eli.

What did I tell you gumpy? Not only have we had a shot, but it was a shot on target.

[TSANHO]

Terrible stuff, truly terrible...and Eastleigh are on a bad run of form. You only had to look at the starting line up to predict this type of performance so it shouldn’t be surprise really. Whatever was said about Ardley at least we looked relatively solid at the back.

We now can’t defend, fight, attack, pass, and score. Well done IB, you’ve somehow made us worse! Anyone who can’t attribute these woeful performances to the new manager needs to give their heads a wobble.

It does make me laugh when people say we had the best squad in the division when Ardley was here and now we’re playing poorly under a different manager the players are the worst in the clubs history 😂

Yeah, does this Head Coach watch anything?

A must win home game for a team chasing play-offs and we have Turner on with 4 other defenders and Rodrigues and Boldewijn can't get a game.

It almost seems as if the players have some sort of agenda! - surely they cannot have any self-respect if this is the best they can do
