but he's right about the end of the Crewe game though, so it's not twaddle.

There was some chat on here about our fitness generally a few weeks ago. I said I thought we often looked leggy second half, although the stats don't really back that up - in fact we score more in the 2nd half than the 1st. Most L2 teams are too - you can see the difference in fitness of players like Abbott and Whitaker who've just come from premier training, I reckon.

That's different from not busting a gut when we're not winning. McG does get on it a bit when he's still on the pitch, you can see it if you take off your carthorse goggles. About the only player we've got right now who really fires everyone up when he's leading a charge, is Jodi - and he's off sick. Maybe Abbott.

Matt Palmer always gives his all, but there are captains with bigger personalities who might inspire more of that kind of thing. Considering how many games we've lost where we've been clearly on top, like Colchester and Walsall, I'd like to see a bit more feisty aggression from Notts too, but throughout the game. I still like the fact that we focus more on playing better football rather than Wimbledon/Colchester style.
