⚽ Match Thread vs. Shrewbury Town FC 01.12.23 [FAC R2]

I said last year that if I were opposition manager I would have a player run from an offside position and someone then come from behind the line to collect the ball and cause trouble.

Stallard "with apologies to schoolboys, schoolboy defending"

Still it is Christmas, gifts and all that.

ANOTHER DEFENSIVE ERROR!!!!!

1-3

I'm of for a beer!

Stallard "gobsmacked" by the defending
1-3

[OP67]

If we don't get 2-3 defenders in in the Janauary window then you can forget about play-offs. 80% is useless if you have useless defenders in the team!

Stall "He's been gift-wrapped a hat-trick tonight, he hasn't had to do anything, catastrophic defending, 3 of the worst goals you'd see in a season - not one game."

Hassel "I can't believe what I'm seeing here"

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Shrewsbury are no better than us. We have gifted them all three goals due to individual mistakes at the back and they have been school boy errors.

Surely nobody can justify Baldwins 'upside' against this. He's a liability first and foremost.

Why? We've been defending like that all season, but the attacking players bail us out, tonight they're not playing though.

[meoldlaner]

Notts defence should be embarrassed. Just like at Wimbledon we defend like a schoolboy football team.
They should be ashamed to pick their wages up.

[Old_pie]

Silly decisions against a higher league club. Got away with it last year, need to get it sorted this year if we hope to go up.

Surely some of the things that need sorting are not beyond professional footballers? Not just once, not twice, but thrice woe.
