    Crowley is one of the few players id defend at least he can play to a high standard in L2.

    Maybe he has a point probably shouldnt do it but players are humans not robots and can react at times its nothing to worry about.

    Let's be honest we have all known what the problem has been for months.
    Several of our players are just not good enough for L2
    Last night things were made worse by the young keeper crumbling and making things exponentially harder
    It was a horror show
    Anyone who has played football at any level can guess how our quality players were feeling - they kept getting us back in the match but knew that whenever Sutton attacked they were more than likely to score
    It was noticeable that individual players were trying hard but not hunting in packs as a successful team should
    We could bring in Pep tomorrow but he couldn't solve the problem of having 4 or 5 players in the team who lack the ability and/or temperament to play professional football
    We need two centre backs with years of experience of EFL football to come in and steady things at the back
    This is the problem of just recruiting on data
    It doesn't take any account of a player's personality
    Apart from JOB I cant think of many leaders in our whole squad

    This might be the root of the problem tbh

    This is my thought too.

    Success and failure are both collective. Nobody should be immune from constructive criticism when things aren't going well, but getting the pitchforks out and looking for one person to blame doesn't help either.

    Exactly, these things are multifactorial, but I do think the culture at the club has changed too. This would pretty fundamental, but doesn't seem to have been mentioned much.

    I don’t think anyone was less enamoured with the appointment of Maynard than I was but Slack and Jackal both make very good points. We can’t go back to chopping and changing so quickly like we used to, and if the season is gone now then another 5 to 10 games will give us a much broader picture of Maynards abilities, or lack of, and the owners will be able to make a much better balanced opinion.

    Of course, Maynard desperately needs a win or some kind of result asap to stop the fan base descending in even more chaos.

    …….

    Are Notts fans particularly prone to turning on the team and club quickly or is it just a football fan thing?

    Yes, what's the worst that could happen?
