I would have taken off both Bostock and Nemane, and replaced them with O'Brien and Toby. I wouldnt have taken Robertson for a start, i thought he was having a decent game.

I would have changed them as well.
Robertson went off as he was dead on his feet.
I thought he had a really good first half.

Think automatic promotion has gone now, if it hadn't before today, I still think we'll make the play offs as I honestly think we still have a good run of results in us but top 3 is just too much to ask.

Was there any trouble after the game?

No nothing that I saw.

A few Notts fans congregated near six-finger corner towards the end of the game and one Notts fan was led away by the police.

That's all I saw, nothing between fans although I heard a few sirens going back to the car.

They're supposed to have some gate that they close after each match to keep fans apart in that corner but I think they're main singers/idiots go in the upper tier of the side stand.

Harsh on Bostock considering what he's offered in the past, but I would have replaced him with JOB on 70 minutes. Jim is usually hit or miss as a sub, but at least he tries to make things happen. We needed that risk element in the second half, we were becoming too predictable.

My disappointment with Bostock comes from having high expectations of him based on his earlier performances - but he’s looked lost without Palmer. Crowley going off the ball in recent weeks just compounds the problem.

Ahh another depressing result against the local heathens. Aside from getting beat, I do enjoy reading from opposition fans how Jones and Langstaff have no end product, despite one having a record number of assists and the other being top scorer.

Also great to see Flint playing for them and doing great despite definitely being out injured. Perhaps we should just play Palmer and see what happens.

Even more depressing is that we'll probably be a division below Mansfield again soon. But perhaps that's preferable to actually having to play them.

It's a shame this season is tailing off, because momentum is so important in football. We're the victims of that great start we had, which was never going to be sustainable. I just hope the current interest from fans can be sustained if we end up midtable. And despite loads of people saying midtable would be fine (including me), in reality that will have people calling for the manager's head, moaning at matches, and questioning our amazing owners.

Just seen the highlights. Where's the chance that apparently went over the line? Where's the one that hit the bar? Where's the penalty shout?

Cotterill's FGR were 2-0 up and then 3-1 up at Colchester in the relegation 6 pointer, 3-3 leaves them with an awful lot to do, 9 pts adrift.

No they were 2-0 up then 3-2 down and then they made it 3-3. Colchester scored 3 in a 5 minute spell.
