Match ratings and reflections V Halifax

Anyone else have to look up the word "libero"?? I had absolutely no idea and my guess was way off.

Any explanation for the lost stream AC? And which 10 mins?

First 10 of 2nd half & dunno, but don't want it to happen again.

Thought that was the best way to describe AB. Stylistically, he's the non-league Kaiser!

I can't really agree about Austin who I thought was justifiably man of the match and adds to Chicksen's game, giving us more of a threat down both wings. We created more than enough chances with yesterdays formation to have won by five or more. Also I thought the intensity was back to earlier levels, as LW alluded to in his post match presser.

It is indeed.

I've read and heard about AB putting in a couple of iffy perfomances (stinkers) but bar that he's been a revelation at the back.

The limited times I've seen him he's been very impressive, cultured, controlled, stylish. A better version of Alex Lacey. He's certainly very comfortable in possession.

About the lack of noise at ML, I think it's probably explained by demographics. It might be a running joke among opposition supporters, but it's true - we have fewer young fans than most clubs. The vast majority of noise at football matches is made by young lads. Forest naturally hoover up most of that demographic, leaving Notts with a slightly skewed fan base of older folk and the kind who generally don't care about creating a rowdy atmosphere.

Clubs like Halifax, while having fewer fans overall, aren't competing with anyone to attract the noisy demographic from their town.

I think that is a good point, slack, about Halifax fans, and one team towns or cities. I would love to live in one of the afore mentioned places to feel the buzz throughout the town or city when the local heroes go on a cup run or sit on top of their league. Florest are certainly going to hoover up the younger fans, although one way of gaining some younger, or support in general, is that it is very difficult now to get match tickets for that lot over the river, and we may be able to attract some fans who come to ML for their footie fix. It can happen as I was chatting to a chap on Saturday who moved to Loughborough from Newcastle, and so had a choice of Florest, Leicester or Derby, but after seeing Notts once, he was hooked.

It depends on where you sit. I sit high up in the Kop and thought we were a lot noisier than in recent matches. I think if the wind is blowing the wrong way you may not be able to hear it in the Pavis stand.

Me too. I was halfway up the kop & there was a decent racket.

I think the officials contributed quite a bit to that though with a few interesting decisions

I sit in the center of the kop and apart from after we scored, thought it was vocally dire on Saturday
There are enough fans in the kop to generate a good noise but sadly most people don't want to get involved

Maybe the wind was playing tricks with my hearing though!
