⚽ Match Thread vs. Aldershot Town FC 30.04.22 [NL]

Flat track bullies who can do it on a big pitch at Meadow Lane against rubbish, but go missing when the going gets tough.

This has been the problem all season. Every 6th game or so, we throw an absolute stinker in for no reason whatsoever.

Still no crowd figure for Dover on Tuesday night.

Their board had this:

"It was announced at full time. 600 odd with 170 odd from Nottingham."

Said the same thing to my Dad this week, flat track bullies. As soon as we play someone decent or fight then we go missing. Absolute crap to have the 14th best record away for a team meant to be challenging for the top spot before the season starts. He can do one for me, I'd rather go up than play good football in patches but overall not good enough when it counts.

I'm no body language expert, but found it interesting that he prods himself just below the eye as he says the word "competitive" to describe Aldershot, his hands then remain by his side until he says that we gave them the opening goal.

Only way I can see Notts going up now is if Stockport bottle it and suffer a hangover in the play offs.
They are currently 1-0 down at home to Boreham Wood.

Burchnall interview

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0c46jpl

That's the most worrying interview I've heard from IB.

To summarise, we didn't implement 'Plan A' well enough and the opposition made it difficult.

No, Mr Burchnall.

Plan A - your plan - didn't work, again. You used the same naive overplaying tactics and odd team selections that have seen us lose several other away games, and a very mediocre opposition took full advantage.

If IB can't be honest with himself and see and acknowledge his mistakes, then it's difficult to see how we're going to learn and improve away from home.

PS. Where's the passion and anger in that interview? He sounds like someone describing a mildly disappointing salad!

There is something badly wrong when the squad has basically been together since pre season played 40 odd games up near the top but put in dire performances all too often. Once in a blue moon you can accept but not as often as Notts put out. For gawds sake, your suppose to have confidence when up near the top
