We haven’t had a genuine walloping like this for a long long time, happens to most teams now and again and we had been on a decent little run. It’s not time to over react, put it into prospective, we were always going to struggle to get something there as they were in great form at home, so I rather we lose that regardless of score and make up for it in the run in.

Fword up to 3rd, Stags could be going up as well. Notts have never been this insignificant. God knows how the gates are holding up so well, but will that continue?

Yep, listened to the team news at 2pm on Radio Red and it was the first time I’ve heard Mansfield taking priority to Notts (and rightly so IMO) we need to get out this league but Im not sure this ‘chemistry experiment’ of IB and the Reedtz recruitment will ever achieve it.

The Broz either need a major rethink in their recruitment policy or we need a new owner. That's all I can say, for now.

Kin 'el, next level drama-queenery at its finest.

Can't really stop at new owners though -new ballboys, new bar staff in Lawtons bar, new turnstile scanners, new groundsman and new programme sellers or I'm never setting foot in Meadow Lane again.

Something not right in the camp at Notts. Roberts missing again yet denial of anything wrong and then performances like this after such a great win last week. Seems too obvious for conspiracy theory

As said last week, the bullsh!t about Roberts not being in the squad was tolerable while doing ok. After getting rinsed like that, serious questions need to be asked, not that he would have made any difference to our flat track bullies.

Carlton are you dead set on picking fault with every single poster??

not at all, I thought this was a message board for discussion and opinion? We didn't lose 5-1 coz Roberts was missing

I blame Mr & Mrs Magpies absence

Don't care about the scoreline, won't overreact
But we can't go unchanged again...it warrants team changes and a return to a proper attacking approach to games, as befits the squad and a team in our position. Enough of this ultra-defensive 5-3-1-1 crap. defending is not our strength so why set the team up to defend?

In fairness he did that after we got hammered at Chesterfield / Stockport and nobody said anything last 4 games when we picked up 10 points did they.

People were getting carried away with all this talk of 2nd/3rd place finishes.

We could still do that still but imo we won’t, do a I think we make the play offs yes I do.

Nothing positive to take from a 5-1 hammering no matter how you dress it up he attacked second half and look what happened battered again.

We badly need Cameron back not only for his defending but leadership.

I blame the Trews.

For Gawd's sake don't dare say anything negative about our esteemed perfect owners. You'll be ostrichsized.

This season we've lost 5-1 and 4-1, have we handed out these kind of beatings other than Barnet who were in turmoil both times we played them?
