Identical start to last season, winning game 1 then drawing the next 2.

I tell you what I’ve been stood here in a uncovered stand in rain for 90 mins watching this dross, I’ll tell you now they turn this crap against Chesterfield and we will get annihilation mode. We are no better from last season or the season before we’ve won this season against what will be classed as easy teams.
The defence for me is a big big problem

Big respect. Its this kind of thing that disappoints me. We are a very well supported club on the road and the players turn out dross like that. Those that travelled deserved far far better and the players need to know that performance tonight is not an acceptable standard when you play for Notts County.

Only 2 of our 6 signings start the match. That worries me. 2 not even in team at all, 3 if you include the young lad promoted.

According to our man, Lukewarm does not rate TAR at all. Bit of a bitchumen.

I'm abit underwhelmed so far this season. The defence looked terrible against BW, some of the space BW had was shocking and apparently not going well tonight by all accounts. I thought LW might have sorted them out abit better by now. Granted it's early in the season and I'm not being negative for the sake of it, I'm just going on what I've seen and reports. I think it's probably going to be next season before LW gets them to the place he wants them by the looks of it.

And we were just getting optimistic 😂 after late equaliser NOT!!

THANKS FOR A REAL VIEW OF MATCH 👍

It’s only the 3rd game and who knows where Gateshead will be by the end of the season. I get a feeling they maybe mid table if they keep their manager. That said I was hoping for better things by now, after the Forest friendly I had a lot optimism but it’s dripping away. We clearly need a couple of new additions and sounds like we are chasing them, but time is of the essence.

Think that is 500ish more than their Saturday game

That was biggest load of crap I've seen in ages. Outfought and lucky not to have lost.

LW to say “some positive’s - a few negatives”

[SwalePie]

Poor performance, poor players, poor management and the ''get out of jail'' equalizer can't hide that fact.

Poor performance - YES
Poor players - Bit subjective that one. I suspect most clubs at this level would want many of them.
Poor management - Far too early to judge

Very disappointing. But hey, the season's hardly started. At least we can't get any worse?
