Disappointing performance they were a bit better than us it’s all I can really say.

[countygump]

It's a mental strength and nous thing - that's mostly on the players

That is undeniably true. And it was so dumb
But we'd have fallen at Wrexham anyway

True. At least Grimsby will give them a game.

The only way we’re getting out of this league is as champions, but we’ve not got remotely close in three attempts.

If we were going to lose in the playoffs - which we always were - best to go out now and confirm what everyone knows: we’ve just not been consistently good enough and can’t handle the press at L5 level (so absolutely wouldn’t handle it in L2). Too lightweight, not enough battlers.

It’s going to be a big summer of change assuming at least Wootton and Ruben are off, plus potentially the manager. The Reedtz bros have a lot of work ahead.

True, we are not equipped to get out of this league.

I've been of this opinion for quite some time. It's such an insanely difficult league to get out of once descending into it.

It appears as though only very significent investment will make that a possibility and that doesn't appear to be in the offing so the only other possibility is a slew of new signings that mostly all come off. Maybe it's that kind of night - bitterly disappointing, if not necessarily surprising - but I'm finding it more and more difficult to be optimistic about Notts' general game plan as a club in recent times.

Burchnall has to go! It's not a knee jerk reaction but he hasn't a scooby doo or a tube of glue. He has been found out to be no more than a below par coach/manager.

[MancMagpie]

Ah well. It's a total stinger. We were 10 seconds away from the semis...you can't just sack a manger because of that. Personally I'd give him one more full season.

I've said it for the last 3 playoff campaigns, but why Rawlinsin doesn't start is beyond me. Brindley was way off it tonight. Ardley should have started him against Harrogate. He's the kind of guy that smells danger when scruffy goals are about to be scored.

Anyway...**** it. Don't be too down folks.

I would honestly prefer to lose Wootton and Roberts than Ruben. Ruben is the talisman of this team.

I also think by replacing Wootton we actually have a chance to strengthen. I am writing as someone who only watches televised games and listens to the radio every week, so take this how you want, but I honestly don't think we can win this league with him as our main striker.

Maybe a rebuild will be a blessing in disguise,we could play with this squad for the next 3 years and still not get promoted

I left at 1 0 with 3 minutes to go, 🙃
