⚽Match thread v Tranmere Rovers 01.01.24 [EFL L2]

I was quite hopeful with the unchanged lineup, back to square one AGAIN!!! We've been totally outplayed this 2nd half and it's been far to easy for Tranny.

Notts have been utter garbage second half. Terrible midfield, no shots, appalling defending, no quality on bench. We need to get into the transfer market , another 4 conceded !! Embarrassing

7 points behind 3rd place having played a game more. That brief glimpse of the top 3 appears to have been closed again.

Not an issue at present. We're not ready to go up yet. Our results away from home are demonstrating that.

We're in the middle of a learning and recruitment process in a new division. If we have a really good transfer window in January we might reach the play-offs and take our chances, but it's far more important to ensure we're ready for the next level before we go there, even if it takes time.

Forest Green are demonstrating what happens if you're not ready to take the step up.

Stags get a 2nd against Stockport. That's some result for them.

Unfortunately as the game entered stoppage time my mate here with me said you guys still have 6 minutes to rescue it... I actually bet him we would let in another one and just won a 10 quid bet... not proud of that but we were simply hopeless in that second half... never ever looked like scoring and always looked like letting in a bag full, LW you simply need to sort this out... horrible birthday present for me 😞

[Chicken Balti Pie]

Why are our second halfs always so poor? Multiple times this season we've just not shown up in the second half and it's happened far too often to just be a coincidence.

Because we don't have the squad depth to rotate or bring on similar quality at the 60 minute mark. Our subs always weaken the side

With Swansea beating WBA today, this result hopefully reduces the likelihood of LW going anywhere for the time being. Ramsay still favourite there last time I looked.

Oh well at least I got the 4-2 right. Some of our play to come back to 2-1 was great but it's hard to be positive after that second half. I'll just say good night everyone, see you next game.

Where the hell was Stone for that through ball? That was his ball ever day of the week if he had his wits about him. Fair play to Tranny though.
