I was prepared to give SM the benefit of the doubt for half a season but, little has changed. We've tightened up at the back admittedly but we have not craft or guile up front, we're toothless and we need to sort out just exactly what Crowley is supposed to be doing.

Tsaroulla looks good and needs to be given free reign, he's definitely a threat and we need to use him effectively.

Amongst all the gloom and "poor results", perhaps it's worth remembering we're currently third in the league and in the last three games we've taken two points from two away games against the teams currently placed 8th and 9th, and won at home against the team currently placed 10th with three games in hand, and we've achieved this without Jodi Jones, the best player in the league by common consensus.

I get the fact that the performances could have been better, but sometimes I think Notts fans just enjoy being miserable. Maybe it's a kind of PTSD from past experiences!

Notts fans pay money to watch a product, that product is inferior at the moment and we could easily go in to free fall if we're suddenly not, getting late penalties, just as we did last year. I think we were actually top at about this time last year until we got dismantled by Mansfailed and Wrectum which was the start of an awful run of results.

Notts fans pay money to watch a product

I don't. I mean I pay for the stream these days, but I've supported them through some mighty meager times over the last half century. I stopped buying Branston pickle because the quality went down, but I don't know many people who think Notts County is a product.

Exactly, if people want a 'product' there's plenty of PL products they could 'consume'.

Semantics, how many times have we heard about the Notts 'brand', it's the same thing and why do you think we've attracted crowds averaging 11K at the Lane and not sub 5K like in the past, it's because of the product, brand, call it what you want. I too have been through the mill with this team since 1967 though living abroad for much of the last twenty years. When I'm in the UK, I always attend and was a 'The Nest' last night.

I still love Branston pickle.

you say semantics because you're not thinking perspective, but I respect your service, sir!

I can still taste and love the tangy sauce, but I kept getting too many rooty bits and intriguing vegetables.

That product is inferior at the moment to the flowing football we've generally seen for most of the last two years which saw our attendances explode into five figures, but the absence of a player like Jodi Jones (alone) would affect any team at our level.

If you think you're hard done by recent results and performances, let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of the Steve Thompson and Gudjon Thordarson eras. I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind...

I started watching Notts in 1967 so I 'm well aware of the ups and down but lets not forget, were still bottom of the football league, pyramid. I know that real fans will buy that 'product', regardless but they will still moan. Some, results. are glossing over some pretty poor performances.

I see that the Port Vale 'product' is yet another 0-1 win.
