..is that what he said ? What game was he at ffs ?

How many Notts fans were there? I heard the tannoy announce the total but not the Notts number.

EDIT: Just got the info. 598 Notts fans. That's a superb turnout on a dirty Tuesday night right up there!

I very rarely disagreed with IB’s post match interviews, even when we lost.
Admittedly I wasn’t at the game but LW has just described a different game to what I just listened to!
We should have been 2-0 at half time??? Created loads of chances??? We were the better side???

[Elite_Pie]

Attacking side indeed and as we've recently signed two of their very best attacking players we win this gunfight. Simple as that we win this game. Woooooooooooo

Maybe a Wooooooooooooooooooooo will work better than a mere Woooooooooooo next time.

LW on the performance, "so much about it that I loved" credits Gateshead, generally sounds pleased.

You begin to wonder just how low we're setting the bar these days?

Of course LW may have said something completely different in the dressing room, but he sounded like he genuinely believed it!

Just to be clear, in case it needs spelling out to anyone at the club, we were a barrowload of sh*te tonight and very lucky to get a point, even though we'll take it.

This has to be seen as a disappointing result, especially in regard to comments regarding the performance. Far too early to make any judgements, but if we want to challenge at the top this seems two points dropped rather than a point gained. Big game on Saturday, maybe we'll know a bit more after that. At least Wrexham fans will be feeling worse than us!

I repeat, if there's a positive to be gleaned from tonight's rubbish it's what LW learns from it in terms of formation and tactics going forward, to give the players more chance to perform at their best.

Bet L.W doesn't win any Manager of the month awards

An away point isn't the end of the world but it sounded really bad tonight and the same old problems popped up. Defensive errors, Francis easily disposessed, one up front and limited chances, playing at a slow tempo. We wasted Wootton away from home last year and if LW persists in playing Langstaff on his own as a no 9 we'll waste him too.
Still, LW sounded happy enough.

Okay Chesterfield on Saturday. If we play the way we have been playing so far it will be a humiliating experience. Maybe Notts will rise to the occasion.

Let's bl**dy hope so. Onwards and hopefully upwards.
