And still the fat lady is not silent

Title race still on(ish), maybe Sid’s optimism wasn’t so misplaced. All over if they get 6 points at home next week, if they drop any though they’re likely gonna need to win at top of the form table Torquay…(as long as we beat Maidstone and York).

Think its a real shame we never scored from the penelty spot against Wrexham then things would have been different, god forbid if that is the difference between promotion at the end of the season

If we finish second, you could argue that the championship will have been decided by two penalties - the one we missed at Wrexham and the blatant one the ref missed at home to Dagenham. We score that and there's no way we go on to lose that game.

We probably should say "the one we had saved at Wrexham" rather than "missed". Don't want to see Scott get the blame if it did come down to that, he struck it well enough and got it on target, keeper guessed right. Knew we wouldn't score it though as soon as he had to go and re-place it on the spot.

Whilst it is mathematically possible there is still a chance. Wrexham know they need six points from their last three games (assuming we win our remaining two) and the title is theirs. The important thing is that we are fighting and pushing them all the way to the end.

We can’t and should not pick out individual moments and apportion blame to any player should we finish second. It would be unjust and unfair especially with how brilliant this team have been and how much they have given to the cause. The season is a 46 game marathon and out of the 11 games we have not won there will be many factors and moments in which the outcome could have been different.

I think it'd be unfair to blame one or two moments. People always point the finger at penalty misses, but dropped points from defensive errors or missing sitters will have had the same impact. Notts are a team first and foremost, and any responsibility for (the tiny number of) dropped points shiuld sit with the whole team.
