Match Thread vs. Grimsby 05.02.22 [NL]

Stall summing up: 2nd half, Grimsby absolutely battered Notts apart from a 5 minute spell after the equaliser, Notts didn't turn up 2nd half, Grimsby looked the hungrier for the ball. You've got to work as hard as the opponents and I don't feel Notts did.

I can see us not making the play offs this season and that would be a total disaster and massive step backwards!!! I'm all for the style of football IB wants to play but not in this god forsaken s**t hole of a league.

The style of football is fine, this squad doesn't have the desire or killer instinct to see it through

Desire and effort seems to be getting less in our performances. Maybe not all is well behind the scenes?

1 point from a possible 9 and you'd expect 6 or 7 if automatic was a possibility. I thought no we'll miss playoffs this year, we just don't have the firepower

Bugger.

You can say that again, was listening on the wireless and it sounded a poor performance, again. Need to sort it out quickly or even the playoffs will be beyond us.

Vincent being unceremoniously dumped from the starting XI is an issue for me. After waiting for his chance then taking it so well - he deserved better than that. Our own player being made to make way for a loanee.

Style of football isn't for this league, same as Ricardo in Div 2

Come on Notts!! I really hope this season doesn't run away from us, we really need Wootton and Rodders to get their heads back in the game.

Maybe they are both a little disappointed they didn't get transfers to bigger clubs!

If this is correct, it's on the owners, not Burch, he's only playing the style they want and with the players they are giving him.

I don't understand why we signed Brunt? Unless Rodrigues or Roberts was going, what does he offer different?
