Not enough options on the bench at 1-1, hugely missing Austin too.

1 or 2 new players required soon

3-1, disgraceful tbh

Should've been finishing the day top of the table and the only reprieve is we only lose one point to Chesterfield and Wrexham who both pick up away points at significantly tougher places to visit.

[NcFc-123]

Oh well.

At least Forest Green conceded in the 93rd minute to lose 2-1.

It's not so long ago we lost in very similar fashion at Aldershot by the same scoreline in the same way...

Conclusion: We still have the same problems as last season - mental weakness, inconsistency, under performing away. And then there's the Gateshead game too. 1pt out of 6, from these places.

Work to do for LW and his coaches

The thing is if you can’t win a game you make sure you don’t lose it. Very poor result today. Chesterfield & Solihull both drawing at present and we should have, at least, not lost ground on them!

I'm expecting this to be a very difficult afternoon for Notts, anything better than a point would be a bonus

Carlton called it right. Isn't that just typical of football? You're flying along, four wins on the bounce and then trip up at bloody Dorking of all places. Has to be an element of complacency involved, because on form and quality of player we shouldn't be losing to them. Very disappointing, but as ever, it's what you learn from it that matters.

[Observerpie]

Same failings as last 3 seasons, it's as if we think that all we've got to do is turn up and collect the points. Smacks of complacency to me.

I don't think we should go over the top, we've been on a very good unbeaten run and played well recently. That is a very bad result though.

Congrats to Dorking, they have got decent crowds for where they've come from, we've played in front of 1k or so less against a fair few others at this level and support counts for more than anything else in the long run.

[Carlton_Pie]

Owners bloody put your hands in your pockets !!! Our team is nowhere near strong enough, we are utterly threadbare!!

Bit dramatic as it was our first win in 9 but 1 or 2 players needed for sure

Agree, we had 21 shots compared to Dorkings 5 at 1-1 but we just weren't ruthless enough to captalise. General performance wasn't too bas but we weren't good enough in both boxes
