Ratings v Crewe

[Robertomac]

Defo penalty, no objection from the Notts players or keeper, If it was the other way round we would be screaming for it.

I'm slightly concerned by the lack of protest by the players yesterday when the penalty was given and the same at Wrexham last week with the disallowed goal. I may be reading too much into it, but the lack of any really strong reaction indicates to me that the players are seriously low on confidence and resigning themselves to simply accept when it's going against us. Whilst I'm not advocating surrounding the ref, if players are truly passionate, it's that emotion that boils up when they perceive an injustice which is what I'm not seeing. They look almost passive.

I agree - another example was their captain’s thigh high ‘tackle’ on McGoldrick which you often see given as red cards in the Prem, but we didn’t even get a free kick yesterday. If that’s one of ours on an opposition player, their entire team would be surrounding the ref - but didn’t see one appeal.

I agree. Yet more evidence that we're not nasty enough. Imagine Mansfield's players meekly accepting stuff like that.
