⚽Match Thread vs. Torquay Utd. 04.02.23 [NL]

Great win for us obviously, but more so for the way in which we achieved it. Nice to see MP and JB in the same midfield for the whole of the game of which thirty plus minute of that were with ten men.
So glad that Charlie was teamed up with Stall for this one as it was a perfect game for those commentate and comment on. I would have loved to have been a fly on the window of the car on the journey back to Nottingham.
I hope LW croaky voice was due to lots of shouting at the ref during the match, rather than some bug which could be passed onto the squad.
If a positive is to be found from Ruben's dubious sending off, then it might be that we can use it as a motivational tool next week against Chesterfield, i.e. Do it for Ruben.

It was a great win over a bunch of thugs who were just intent on fouling our players. Gary Johnson is nothing more than a glorified gang leader, and there should be no place in the game for tw*ts like him. Also the referee and both linesman were a disgrace. You cannot have idiots officiating at this level of the game. The sooner we get out of this toss pot league the better. Thanks Neil Ardley for bringing us to this level.

Another great win against some atrocious referring by all accounts. We are still getting those results and taking it all the way. Well done to the staff and the players, really been proud of them this season.

A couple of observations, women's super (snigger) league, nobody cares
2 the ref deserves credit yesterday for not caving to two big penalty appeals for Torquay.

Three observations from Torquay highlights
1. The Torquay commentators were very biased, even when Langstaff scored a goal that wouldn't have disgraced Div 1 let alone NL not one word of praise.
2. Whilst JB gave the ball away for their goal(and as he's the new scapegoat) its easy to blame him for the goal but him and KC sprinted back so that by the time the cross came in we had plenty of players back and AB misjudged the flight of the ball from the cross.
3. Great to see SS make a couple of good saves and show what a good keeper he is at this level.

Slightly harsh on Baldwin as he was in effect trying to mark two players, Palmer and Ruben should have been picking up Lapslie as both were behind Baldwin at the time the ball was played back for the cross.

Just seen the Rodders hand ball incident, so you can be on a yellow and continue to go through the back of a player. However handle a ball going knowhere that's 90% out of play and you're off!!!! This league is a f**king joke!!

Missed this one getting drunk in Singapore with the score pinned to my phone screen. Oof.

It's so darn tight. Fact is both Notts and Wrexham hold the title in their own hands at the moment. Slight advantage to Wrexham in that they don't have to do it on goal difference.

OP67 where did you get to see Ruben's hand ball?
