O'Brien on for Bostic & Scott for Austin?

Stall summing up at HT: Leaving the ref aside for one minute......

Yep. And I’d expect most of us would have started with JoB and Scott as well.

Just seen their goal. Bad pass from Bostock, but it's in their 3rd of the pitch. We had men back in numbers. Horror defending.

If anyone hasn't seen their goal, think Doyle's sloppy pass vs Torquay in the play off game. Pretty much exactly the same in exactly the same part of the pitch.

Agree that Hanson should have gone. The talking-to with the captain there was basically the ref giving him and extra life. The kind of thing you might see in a friendly.

The Torquay commentator is hilarious.

- Hanson scythes a Notts player down, from behind with the ball gone, while on a yellow

"These Notts players seem to be targeting Hanson at every opportunity"

Our under-performers were easy to predict. No games will be easy score-wise playing a version of 3-6-1. Bostock is playing very well IMO, but obviously he takes Palmer’s job who isn’t really the same player in any other role

Austin was the obvious selection today to play in the space behind Da Silva

True, but he’s not had a major impact so far. Same with Bostock. Aside from the error backpass for the goal, he’s done nothing wrong…but he’s the same style as Palmer and they’re both doing the same thing. JoB or even Vincent to create a bit more of a guessing game.

Easy to say half way through the match, LW doesn't have that luxury.

True and everyone of us is a manager when choosing their team.
But on the first half performance I would have been thinking of changed earlier rather than later.
And the obvious ones would be Scott for Austin and then Bostock for another.

Hopefully now we’re back in control, we’ll settle into a smoother rhythm.
