❔Score, scorers and attendance predictions vs. Maidstone FC 22.04.23 [NL]

[Willie-Wotsit]

There are two ways at looking at facing teams with nowt to play for, and playing a team still fighting for something

1. With their fate already settled, they can relax and just play the game without the stress factor.

In a lot of cases this is true, but in Maidstone's case, they're so woefully out of form this isn't gonna happen, they're probably counting the minutes until it's all over for them. With your style of football, it'll be a turkey-shoot for Notts, absolutely nailed-on!

2. When a team's still battling, they're dangerous to play against and things can easily go badly wrong.

This is obviously also true, but it keeps all the team 100% 'up for it' too, which, gawd knows why, doesn't always happen, often though it's against sides that have just missed-out or safely mid-table, so Point 1 doesn't apply, so relax

No games are ever 'absolutely nailed on', especially where Notts are concerned.
