Maynard out?

[upthemaggies]

I?d imagine that was by far the worst set of home results we had in the NL. Not having 8,000-10,000 fans in the ground definitely would have made Meadow Lane an easier place for opposition players to come, especially the likes of Maidenhead and some of the other dross we lost to that season.

The amount of losses in the behind-closed-doors season compared to the others in the NL is very striking.

2 home games lost in 2019/20 (NA)
7 home games lost in the Behind Closed Doors season (NA-IB )
2 home games lost in 2021/22 (IB )
1 home game lost in 2022/23 (LW)

Given that we have been talking about the benefits of home support, I wonder if any figures are available for the whole of the EFL for that season, compared to the season before and after?

I wasnt refering to the National league.. I was merely pointing out that sometimes no matter how much the crowd get behind the the team, the team doesn't always respond. And that has been very much the case at Meadow Lane this season..

But in most cases teams win far more home games than away ones.

Sat 12 Mar 1955 YORK CITY L 0-1 47,310

I suppose 45,000 York fans must have travelled down.

If I went through it carefully I could list many games where we had large crowds against opposition we were not expected to lose against but did.

My impression is that we've lost a disproportionately high number of high attendance games against teams we were expected to beat.

I wasn?t talking about large attendance, I was talking about a positive atmosphere.

I?m baffled that some can?t see a positive correlation of a decent sized and positive crowd and the impact on performance. Of course it doesn?t mean it?s guaranteed points if a crowd is partisan and supportive but there are far more examples of these teams having success versus not. Of course the team has to be be capable too, which I think is the bit that some aren?t getting.
This season the teams with big home support and no underlying issues have had successful home seasons?.Liverpool, Leeds, Brum and Bradford.
Durham used an away example and a team that was roundly booed off on more than a few occasions as we got relegated.
Support is important, but there are multiple pieces to the puzzle that need to be in good order for success.

Must have been like being in a morgue or library down there. Or were they all standing on their hands?

Have you ever considered that on that particular day the score would have finished 4-0 to York without the vocal passionate support, perhaps the fans had a massively positive impact on the game, but it still wasn't enough. No one can know.

The point isn't that if the home support is the most vociferous in the football league then Notts will automatically win every single game. That would be ridiculous. The point is that more often than not it will help.
As mentioned in a different thread - against Cheltenham both McGoldrick and Traore gestured asking for more vocal support from the fans (and didn't get it). The players obviously want a louder support, so one must assume they think it will help, or they wouldn't be trying to get us up!

I tried to find me sen and me rattle in the crowd with no success. I can remember feeling devastated afterward though, what a crowd unbelievable seeing it nowadays. They worry about a tight concourse 🙈

My old snooker pal, played and had a goal disallowed in that game.

If we managed to go up, I wonder how many teams have achieved promotion with so many points dropped at home?

But did you and those around you try to gee our team on or did you stand quietly moaning and let York win?
