Quite taken aback by Leigh Curtis's headline, I'd have expected "below par" or "poor" from him, but he's gone with "Dreadful". This is really looking quite serious now.

It was certainly poor. Three goals given away. That was my biggest concern. Two of those were blatant defensive errors, the other came from a midfield error deep in our own half which York seized on very well.

Second half wasn’t quite so dire. I thought Doyle made a difference, and there was more of an attempt at incisive attacking play, with quite a lot of nice touches which didn’t quite come to anything.

Sam is a worry. There’s no evidence that he can head the ball, and we need more from him than occasional good footwork. He could still come good, but I’m not very convinced.

Mr Backheel/flick won't cut it in the National League. Looks a poor signing already.
The others, time will tell.

York did all of the basics right, we did all of the basics wrong. I hope it’s a wake-up call to the whole squad that they need to roll up their sleeves and get to work. And why do we continue to struggle against 3-5-2? Is it really such a fiendish formation to counter? We really seem to be making football look very complicated at the moment.

Frank Lampard will be available soon!

Think he sums it up pretty well. Very few positives and build up play too slow.
Suspect we may end up signing an energetic midfielder on loan pretty soon if we can't find it within the squad to be more dynamic.

Out of morbid curiosity, I've just watched their first goal again. I find it incredible that the Notts player who is beaten in the air by the York player is Enzio Boldewijn!!! What the f@ck his he doing defending a hopeful cross from the touchline on the edge of our six yard box in the 15th minute of a home game??? Rawlinson and Lacey are within a yard or two of him, but both leave Enzio to challenge. If Enzio was further up the pitch waiting to pick up the headed clearance which should have come from either centre back, he's shown he can sometimes take advantage. I just don't get why he is playing so deep so early on in a home game. Watch it on YouTube from 30:10 minutes.

Can any of the Ardley lovers explain it to me?
