Match Thread vs. Stockport County 15.03.22 [NL]

Well Burchnall has got his excuse in pre-match , so will no doubt roll it out againpost match. If we get nothing out of tonight we are going backwards.

Burch has no excuses. He's been saying all season that we have a good squad that needs no additions. A bit of illness and a couple of players missing should't phase us.

Sounds like Wooton is playing well!

The 5-2-3, or whatever it is, has helped Stockport pin us back by the sound of it.
Should IB change the shape or just the personnel, 2nd half?

Just described it as too easy for Stockport, they are not afraid to play long ball as well as passing game, Notes don't have Plan B

Is Wooton ever playing recently?

Let him train with the kids for the rest of the season if he can't be bothered anymore. No point playing someone who so evidently does not want to be here anymore, at least Mitchell would actually put some semblance of effort in.

I have to admit to being really disappointed with Wootton. Notts as a club have helped him to kickstart his career, yet he's just thrown it back into the club's and fans faces by barely even trying for the last 3 months.

I'll be glad to see the back of him, as well as many of our other 'stars' in the summer. And if we don't even manage to make the playoffs, I'll also be glad to see the back of Burchnall too.

We need a finisher “where the eck is Sam”

Problem is that you need a willing centre forward when the ball goes long. We don’t have that.

This is painful to listen to. I said 3-0 Stockport but I think it could be 5!! We couldn't score in a brothel as the saying goes.

I think a Warnock-style b*llocking would probably do as much good as any formation change. Something along these lines:



Yeah I admit I'm living in the past. It's more fun there.

Only two away league goals since November 2020, one of those when we were already 3-0 up at Barnet (the other the 1-1 at Wrexham). So goal-wise he's earned us just one single point on the road in almost 18 months.

Yes, everybody needs to look hard at Sam's minutes per goal v Wootton's to realise who should be our first choice striker.
Fans/posters clinging onto the idea of Wootton because he's 'physical' don't know just how much it's costing us.
