Match Thread vs. Eastleigh 20.11.21 [NL]

[Mark_Ross]

But it literally is 11 vs. 11. We are higher than the middle therefore our 11 is doing better than the other 11 more often than not, hence our league position. Anyhow, on to Tuesday and hopefully getting back on the win trail.

I think it's fair to say we can forget auto promotion. Sorry - just not good enough. Playoff lottery again - probably.

Fingers crossed we get a good reaction from the players and can put the next run together starting on Tuesday evening and this blip can be restricted to one NL match. Auto promotion is still very much on the table with almost two thirds of the season to go and only a 7 point gap! A tough target of course as other teams are trying to get it too, but definitely still doable. Despite today's defeat we're still 4th in the form table over the last 6 games.

Sorry, but no. Nowhere near auto promotion.

We will get some excellent results over the season. But a long continuous good run... No, simply not good enough.

That is factually correct and can't be disputed, but it all boils down to our personal expectation of what our league position should be.

If scraping into the playoffs is your expectation, then we are bang on course. I hope for top three as a minimum, so despite 'every team has an off day', 'it's only one game' and 'Eastleigh are our bogey team' the result today is a huge disappointment for me.

, i did not take the oppurtunity to follow up, as i had already given the explanation , that people did not want to hear , and i was wrongly mocked by others as today as shown

The main thing that pissed me off was the fantasy nonsense, celebrate the win yes, but no talk of it was the best in 30 years, or IB is a championship manager, just do not carried away, as we simply are not good enough as today result shows

We will have to agree to disagree

Who said it was the best in 30 years? I missed that comment.

It was me who said Notts fans haven't had much to be positive about for 30 years or so, and that our style of football under IB and results of late have given Notts fans something to be positive about.
I think i've been slightly misquoted to suit his arguement

this is exactly what i am saying, a win against solihull, and your on about not much to be positive about in 30 years, well over the top to be honest, i would have expected this if we had been promoted, why not just say your happy with the win, but i am not getting carried away
I agree IB,s style of football is more entertaining, but result wise , it is on par with our lowest ever position in the football pyramid to date, so i say again IB is no improvement on Ardley

I'm getting tired of us going into these crunch games that we force on ourselves with no more than 'fingers crossed '

[laddo]

Crunch games like today, Solihull, Grimsby, Bromley, Stockport?

Are games only not crunch if you are top of the league?

So after a loss to a typical national league side it’s another pub side mid week, I just hope Cameron starts.
