⚽ Match Thread vs. Aldershot Town FC 30.04.22 [NL]

Flat track bullies who can do it on a big pitch at Meadow Lane against rubbish, but go missing when the going gets tough.

This has been the problem all season. Every 6th game or so, we throw an absolute stinker in for no reason whatsoever.

I’m commentary today it was mentioned several times that the opposition broke there necks to get up and support the attack time and time again like it meant the world to survive in this league never mind looking for promotion.
We’re just flattering to deceive as mentioned around every sixth game or so we just collapse and look like strangers
Gawd knows what needs to inspire them
But seriously on that performance as a benchmark,not a chance
But how would I like to be bloody wrong

Couldn't bear listening to them creaming over Fword so switched off. Do they upload the interviews to youtube? Will have to watch it there if they do.

They usually do, either on YouTube or facebook/twitter.

[OchPie]

That is not the interview I hoped to hear. Blaming the ref for the second penalty call, fine, but talking of a side with a very low pass without recognising that - especially with decent dollops of possession - we should have been asking many more questions of their defence.

Almost got up at 4am today to get to the game, and very very glad I didn't. Hard call whether to go up to Notts on Monday, now.

I'm no body language expert, but found it interesting that he prods himself just below the eye as he says the word "competitive" to describe Aldershot, his hands then remain by his side until he says that we gave them the opening goal.

Only way I can see Notts going up now is if Stockport bottle it and suffer a hangover in the play offs.
They are currently 1-0 down at home to Boreham Wood.

Said the same thing to my Dad this week, flat track bullies. As soon as we play someone decent or fight then we go missing. Absolute crap to have the 14th best record away for a team meant to be challenging for the top spot before the season starts. He can do one for me, I'd rather go up than play good football in patches but overall not good enough when it counts.

There is something badly wrong when the squad has basically been together since pre season played 40 odd games up near the top but put in dire performances all too often. Once in a blue moon you can accept but not as often as Notts put out. For gawds sake, your suppose to have confidence when up near the top

This.

You can accept over the course of a season, there will be 2, 3 maybe 4 games where you just don't show up, it doesn't click etc. We seem to do it on a regular basis. We rarely lose having played well, instead we seem to all out capitulate. Forget the playoffs. This team is as spineless as a jellyfish.
