Match Thread vs. Grimsby 05.02.22 [NL]

[hissingdwarf]

Didn’t particularly enjoy today.
The positives…
Good crowd. Well done Notts fans and Grimsby for bringing a crowd (even if the majority were bell-ends.)
Solid enough debut by the keeper.
Cal looked up for it and caused them issues. Good goal.

Negatives.
The lack of finishing first half was tragic. It looked like it was set for an upset, and it paid off for them.
Midfield was, and has been, way too lightweight.
Brunt. I’m sure in a really advanced 10 slot, he’ll do well. We don’t need that slot filling. Although in saying that, Rodders and Woots were both rubbish.
General feeling around the place is slipping now.
First time I’ve heard discussions about manager change. Not sure how that’s going to work as he’s been bought in to play the way the owners want.
Everyone loves entertaining footy when it works. When it doesn’t and it goes on a slide…everyone, quite rightly, can return to the “would rather see hard man long ball and win.”

Today, I’d rather have seen a direct, hard man performance. Sorry IB, but your goodwill is going to run out sharpish as our promotion hopes disappear.
