Only 5,454 at Bolton (v Ipswich) this afternoon, lowest ever league crowd at that ground.

Sad times.

Classic. It's inevitable. I bet we'll be the first team to gift Ebbsfleet a point or three.

This is my concern. This is the worst team in the league. We need to push for the second goal and get into the habit of taking it to teams. Sitting back on a one-nil lead never seems to work.

Spot on.

Disappointing time to concede a goal when you are supposed to be seeing the half out.

Frustrating. I know it’s hot today but we need to be going for it when a goal up. We can’t just play for a point here and hope to win at home on Monday.

We have taken the lead in a lot of games this season, but we need to keep that up and kill teams off. Not sit on it.

Two or three chances to get the ball away before the goal. Thommo summing up.... invited the equalier, such a disappointing goal to give away, they had been decent for the most part but stopped doing what they were doing well, bad mistake by the goalkeeper.

I'm glad you're not giving the half-time team talk!

Hopefully it gives us a kick up the backside and we turn up the heat in the second half.

Let’s hope we have enough about us in the second half to be a bit more attacking and take the game to Ebbsfleet. They are after all bottom of the table for a reason and it doesn’t seem like they are very good from reports.

Spotted that coming a mile off.....Ebbs 33 good attacks, Notts 14....ouch......Ebbs shots 6, Notts 1 (and scored obviously).....plain weird.....Ebbs corners 3, Notts 1.....there were huge periods in that 1st half where we struggled to get past the halfway line according to 365
