And Wimbledon lost. Notts 5 points clear of the pack, only Morecambe can get closer if they win both games in hand. That’s not bad after a poor run.

Clown/circus music played over the top of this would be about right

Notts78, Macari wasvery poor in the opening half. So sorry for wanting to sign a better player than Macari. Imagine another Baldwin type player, with a bit more bite and stronger in the air. Macari is poor coming out of D with the ball at his feet, not his fault for being asked to play a position which he doesn't look comfortable in.
JOB, what a warrior and loved his goal celebration,
Very pleased for Morias, very well taken goal, and a good choice of pass by Crowley, as I think Macca was in an offside position.
Huge relief that it looks like Jones was only suffering from cramp.
Stone looked very confident when he came on, and made a couple of crucial saves.
Just to think, only 6 points off top, and this place was nearing meltdown on Saturday.

Pity they don't sell it at the ground, it's a bit Grim going to Aldi for it.

We've been suicidal In defence, but we've got away with it, we won't many times playing like that

I don’t get the mentality of basing a contract offering on 45 minutes of football. Especially when in previous appearances he looked accomplished in possession and defensively sound. For me it shows a lack of understanding in what a Head Coach does at a football club… LW has shown he can improve players and I have no doubt that IF Macari signs he too will benefit from that coaching and improve. The difference between him and the others in the current squad is that his ceiling will be higher… I honestly feel that Rawlo and Brinds have hit their peaks… Cameron and Baldwin are close to peak and both just need to be more consistent.

I thought Macari was fine tonight overall, even seems like a steadying influence.

Bit of calamity in the first half but walked away on a very cold night feeling like I’d been entertained which you sort of expect now, would we want it any other way?
