This.

You can accept over the course of a season, there will be 2, 3 maybe 4 games where you just don't show up, it doesn't click etc. We seem to do it on a regular basis. We rarely lose having played well, instead we seem to all out capitulate. Forget the playoffs. This team is as spineless as a jellyfish.

I absolutely agree, this team , full of loanees and players with one eye on the next move! Shows little fight, zero passion. Not a single youth player player all season and this from a so called coach!! Thought the plan was to bring in youth players develop then sell. God help us next season if he is still in charge

To be honest, after a good first 30 minutes I thought the performance against Weymouth was dross too. We overplayed, lost the ball in bad areas and looked a shambles for most of the last hour, but the fact that we won the game against very weak opposition papered over the cracks.

I was just talking to my lad about that. The reality is exactly as you say, and had it jot been for woeful finishing, Weymouth could quite easily have won. But, the win papers over the cracks.

It's just very disappointing that we're limping into the playoffs, but then if we're honest that's what we've done all season.

Can you blame them? They are playing excellent football and are the form team in the division.
They are the local team with the majority of fans in the Nottingham area what do you expecf?
Next season they could be playing the likes of Liverpool and Man City while we probably will be entertaining Boreham Wood and Eastleigh etc.
If the boot was on the other foot we would be delirious with excitement.
It hurts and I hate it but it is understandable.

Well yes, but it must also be understandable that I can't bear listening to it, which was my point.

Looks like Stags will go up automatically if they can win their remaining two games, with Port Vale having to play an Exeter side hoping to secure the title in front of their own fans.

It never rains but it pours. If we had been able to capture 3rd place, we may have stood a dogs chance but 5th, 6th or 7th??? Nahhhh.....

We need a real rethink on playing style and player recruitment if we hope to make a dent in this League next season.

I’m commentary today it was mentioned several times that the opposition broke there necks to get up and support the attack time and time again like it meant the world to survive in this league never mind looking for promotion.
We’re just flattering to deceive as mentioned around every sixth game or so we just collapse and look like strangers
Gawd knows what needs to inspire them
But seriously on that performance as a benchmark,not a chance
But how would I like to be bloody wrong

[laddo]

He said we gave them the 1st goal I'd say we gave them all 3 goals

First 2. At the time I thought it was awful defending for both but need to see them again on the highlights to identify who was at fault in both occasions. And it was the GK.

[laddo]

I'm including West Ham as an away game hence the two

brilliant.

We have nothing beyond playing well. Invariably when we play well we win, but this side just isn’t capable of going ‘okay, we’re not quite at it today, we just need to grind our a win’. There’s a total lack of spirit and fight when things are going a bit wrong.

This ^^^^^^^^^^

When we are good we are very good, and we are at the lane.

When we aren't we win some, draw some, lose some. Bang average away from home far too often.

Risky team selection today from IB and he got it badly wrong. Saying that we have to highlight some of the players performances which were below their usual standards. Rawlinson and Graham both poor throughout. That back pass may give me nightmares tonight. Arter couldn't do anything right when he came on, Rodders was poor, Cal A.W.O.L like many in the second half. I must give a shout out to Kelton, not sure where he has been recently but he was right about DKE just not good enough. Good energy, always aggressive and can leap but his touch is awful and he's not threat going forward just a bit wild.

Nemane was the pick of the outfield players. Jaros was the only player who came out with any credit and that says everything you need to know.

Looking forward to seeing some match ratings to highlight the players lack of performance as well as the errors made by the head coach.

Dominated the first half didn't create enough with it and defended so poorly against the counter attack it was embarrassing. As many have identified we are soft and we got out fought if the boss can't see that we have problems.

Ref was played all day by the home side he was as bad as Notts were in that second half no show.

Still we are at home next so another 3 points a big improvement in our goal difference on its way as we seek 5th.

Radio Red are prattling on like Fword have got promoted today.

They’ve been cr*p for the best part of 30 years( cr*p being relative of course)! You can’t deny them this after so long( imo) . That’s what loving a club is all about- moments of pleasure in an ocean of heartache(as we know all to well)
