Meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss

[SwalePie]

Disagree. Blaming the players is exactly what I would do. I wouldn't blame Ardley for signing them, I wouldn't blame Burchnall after a few days. I would put 100% of the blame on the players. They faced inferior opposition, but only inferior in terms of ability. In terms of fight, spirit and desire they were streets ahead of our spineless bunch.

Nailed.

It's true, we have a depth problem in that key position

[Killerkline]

Tricky but for me Rodriguez stays on, reeves doesn't play, Rawlinson is rested, slocombe is rested, the new lad from Bradford starts up front along with Sam and Mansfield lad going for a fast attacking front line, backed up with a free flowing midfield.

Who would you replace Reeves with? I don’t disagree with you.

Rawlinson was very flat today. Again, I agree with you, he needs a rest. If Lacey isn’t fit?

Forgive me for asking but surely being out smarted equals tactics and out fought equals motivation both of which are down to the manager. I don't want to knock the lad because I think the players are the biggest problem here, any of us would have given blood for Notts but players just aren't like that anymore.

I think we’re a bit stumped because we’ve ended up with a squad made up largely of old, slow players in a league that rewards pace, power and energy above all else. Doesn’t appear to matter who it is, from a half-furloughed King’s Lynn to AFC Hornchurch, any team with a few legs in midfield which presses us is capable of causing chaos.

It’s no wonder the owners want even more control of recruitment tbh.

Maybe a 4-2-3-1

.....Reeves Barnett
Boldwijn Rodrigues Sam

Or Wolfe in

Scratching around admittedly, but you have to look for something

On the bright side, we’ve got to be the first ever team to lose two semi finals in the same competition in the same season.

HISTORY MAKERS!

Technically, today was a draw.
Both Warnock and Allardyce began with home draws, as did Sirrel on his return for the 2nd coming.

Nicely dug out UTM, I'll take that!

Were they draws against teams from a lower league?
