Who can put a positive spin on this?

My guess is Swale and Laddo!

It all went to pot when Slocombe, Lacey, Rawlinson and Cameron were out? We replaced with youth players and it shows.

What worries me is where now are the next 3 points coming from? Can't see another until at least mid December?

well it should have been tonight , 3 easy points in the bag after they had done the hard work ..it was just criminal to gift 3 points like that !

The absurd thing is that, even at two goals up, I wasn’t confident of hanging on against ten men, and I bet there were plenty of other fans feeling the same way. Where was the game management?
Even by Notts standards, this was a disgrace tonight.

I have to disagree, when we were two up against 10 men I honestly though we would go and tear them a new ar53hole , not lose !

There’s a lot I could say about certain posters going missing but tonight has been bad enough, so I’ll bite my lip!

It could turn out to be a positive if our owners and head coach realise that stats and analytics that look good on paper are worth nothing if the other team wants it more. This result added to my worst fears, namely that we are trying to play a computer game rather than a football match. We have obviously done some very detailed research on formations and tactics, but have failed to do what teams with a fraction of our resources have done - assembled a team of battlers. That’s why I can’t join any bandwagons or “choo-choos”, we sometimes look pretty, but when the going gets tough, we roll over and allow limited players to dominate us.

Spot on Elite. I am happy to get on the bandgwagon so to speak and back the manager but I reserve the right to depart from it when we implode in these ways. Right now I am back at the bus stop! We have nice owners who employed a nice manager who employed nice players based on nice stats. The nice needs to stop. Hope IB can turn it around, can't see him being given more than a handful of games to do so.

Sadly I wasn't too surprised when we capitulated again tonight, we have a team that is mentally weak when pressure is exerted and mid table is the best we can hope for with the current squad. Still not too sure about the manager, if he's approved the players brought in then he needs to take a long hard look at what he's achieved so far this season.

we only conceded 3 tonight as opposed to the 4 Saturday !

I haven’t gone missing. I’ve had a trying evening away from Notts, which in a strange way helps keep some perspective. I’m not trying to down play the situation and I feel for the supporters that travelled.

Clearly as Notts supporters we’ve experienced some incredibly difficult and depressing times. The last 10 days have quite possibly been the worst?

Anyway, trying to salvage some hope;
- Recent performances may prompt some activity in the transfer market
- Cameron back Saturday(I don’t think Rawlinson will be)
- A return to 3-5-2

I am struggling.

I don't really think that's true. Slocombe and Cameron have dropped clangers this season, Lacey is still the best centre half at the club and we've only picked up 1 points from 12 against the teams we've played in the top half.
Our easy start has hidden how poor we've actually been.

Youth players? Who are they? These players we have are in there early twenties. They should be good enough now or they never will be. Youth players are 16 to 18 year olds

I used the word “embarrassing” to describe the way we capitulated against Woking, I just can’t find words to describe this one.

Does fricking crap help?
