⚽ Match Thread vs. Gateshead FC 16.08.22 [NL]

Shocking start to the second half. A mistake from Cameron has been waiting to happen we were warned on Saturday.

It's not acceptable that we are the masters of our own downfall yet again. We really need to sort out these defensive frailties quickly.

We are well and truely stuck in this league!!! I know it's early days but this is bloody Gateshead we're playing. Our awayform and defence has always been the problem and never gets sorted!!

[Stan Marshall]

‘Feeble’ in the words of Slater. What a start to the second half!

First back pass cock up of the season. Won’t be the last.

Why oh why are we messing about at back and why is langstaff and Scott not on together!

I'm abit underwhelmed so far this season. The defence looked terrible against BW, some of the space BW had was shocking and apparently not going well tonight by all accounts. I thought LW might have sorted them out abit better by now. Granted it's early in the season and I'm not being negative for the sake of it, I'm just going on what I've seen and reports. I think it's probably going to be next season before LW gets them to the place he wants them by the looks of it.

Pratting about with the ball in bad areas leads to disaster. Who knew?

We seem to be making a lot more mistakes than last season building from the back, in fact we hardly made any direct ones, same players but suddenly doing silly things.

Yep. It seems the good from last season has been chucked away rather than built upon. Early days yet though and we haven't lost this match yet either. I predicted 3-1 to us so here's hoping!

Looking at the team selection, listening to the commentary - it's clear we've gone backwards

3 centre-backs and you still need Francis, Palmer AND O'Brien in front of them? To play Gateshead?

Langstaff must be asking what the hell is going on, playing alone up front

[MAD_MAGPIE]

It's now where we need to see a reaction from Notts to see what we are really made of this season. Are we going to continue to have that soft underbelly or are we going to wake ourselves up and actually go for this and go looking for an equaliser and then a winner?

All ways going to happen with Cameron he’s very close to
Doing it week in week out
