He also needlessly gave away the free kick that resulted in the penalty. I’m at risk of sounding like Durham I know, but he worries me a lot when the opposition have the ball, TAR doesn’t.

He is indeed a good back up, especially if he’s in the mood to attack defenders but he is inconsistent in doing so….that’s what we get at this level though I suppose, inconsistency, otherwise he’d be playing further up the pyramid.

I may sound like a broken record, but Palmer was my MOTM again. He nearly always is!
Yeah but Palmer is the obvious and easy answer most games due to his natural talent and style of play, keeping things simple but effective.

We all want it to happen but one of the hardest things for a wide man to do is beat a defender and put in a ball that finds a team mate and results in a goal. He did it twice.

It was the complete opposite to Chicksen on Boxing Day who benefited from all too easy 1-2s and movement off the ball and then struggled to a) pick the right option b) find a man. And he had many opportunities to do either/both. Thankfully this is a rarity for Notts this season.

Nemane is a concern defensively (why wouldn't he be this season?), he can definitely be inconsistent but he's not rubbish (or even close) and has been regularly selected on merit.

On a separate note I am in total agreement with Don, these corners need a lot of work. Even with undersized options in the middle the production is very poor this season whether we aim near post, or take it short.
