Match Thread vs. Torquay United 09.04.22 [NL]

Carlton are you dead set on picking fault with every single poster??

not at all, I thought this was a message board for discussion and opinion? We didn't lose 5-1 coz Roberts was missing

[maddogslater]

The first promotion with Warnock we lost 4 1 at Bolton in a league match with Short and Yates in the
team , hopefully a blip.

For the rest of the season most if not all of the teams will play this way against us, we need to find a way to counter it. There are some overreactions here but considering the result I cannot exactly blame them.

Don't care about the scoreline, won't overreact
But we can't go unchanged again...it warrants team changes and a return to a proper attacking approach to games, as befits the squad and a team in our position. Enough of this ultra-defensive 5-3-1-1 crap. defending is not our strength so why set the team up to defend?

Yes,we were very negative and we invited them on to us.Teams who play the way Torquay do will always put Notts to the sword. I'll say it again tho' I don't think they are a great side.

So what does that make us...?

In fairness he did that after we got hammered at Chesterfield / Stockport and nobody said anything last 4 games when we picked up 10 points did they.

People were getting carried away with all this talk of 2nd/3rd place finishes.

We could still do that still but imo we won’t, do a I think we make the play offs yes I do.

Nothing positive to take from a 5-1 hammering no matter how you dress it up he attacked second half and look what happened battered again.

We badly need Cameron back not only for his defending but leadership.

Sorry folks, my fault for looking into flights for the playoff final - jinxed us.

Can’t see any hope of us making third now - and we don’t deserve it based on the season overall.

Something not right in the camp at Notts. Roberts missing again yet denial of anything wrong and then performances like this after such a great win last week. Seems too obvious for conspiracy theory

As said last week, the bullsh!t about Roberts not being in the squad was tolerable while doing ok. After getting rinsed like that, serious questions need to be asked, not that he would have made any difference to our flat track bullies.

Fword up to 3rd, Stags could be going up as well. Notts have never been this insignificant. God knows how the gates are holding up so well, but will that continue?

Yep, listened to the team news at 2pm on Radio Red and it was the first time I’ve heard Mansfield taking priority to Notts (and rightly so IMO) we need to get out this league but Im not sure this ‘chemistry experiment’ of IB and the Reedtz recruitment will ever achieve it.
