I don't know, but I'm beginning to think he was a plant!

Notts need to be breathing fire after half-time. We need to win this game to stay in the running for third place, which is very important.

Over the past few weeks we've seen sides above and around us go behind in games but they have clawed it back and gone on to win. That's what winners do and those who have the hunger, intensity and desire do. That's what we need to see this half, how much do these players want that 3rd place finish.

Nah, this smacks of IB being too smart for his own good - too many changes today.
As you say in your last line - as the most difficult of our remaining fixtures, this match warranted our best side.
Monday against Dover was the match to give a rest to anyone who needed one. And this isn't hindsight, I fully expected our strongest team today as I think most did.

Maybe but im not surprised with the changes after what he said midweek.

He is looking ahead trying to keep players not only fit but fresh.

We havent lost this one yet but we have alot of work to do.

Why is it everytime Braunt is mentioned in an attack it breaks down!!

Or even 7th - with Dagenham winning away 2-0

Very true. We mathematically do not have a play-off place secured yet. Still lots to play for.

If things stay as they are with it's going to be three from four for the last play-off places as Dagenham are pushing us, Cheaterfurlough and Grimsby and with all three of us losing at the moment it keeps the door open for them.

We need to be looking upwards, not behind us. That's why we need something from today.
