Looks like the strict nutritional regime has gone out of the window now our season has ended. Just saw this on Twitter...
"In maccies somewhere across the border and half the notts county team just get off and rinse the place of burgers n get back on the team bus"
Back to the game I was disappointed by Miller today, as I'm sure he was with his performance. Got little change from their fullback all game.
Wootton and Enzio quiet.
Thought Doyle made us tick, and worked well with Reeves with a clear tactic that worked for large parts of the game.
Rodders was always dangerous and unlucky not to score more than his excellent header.
Commentators summed it up well when they stated Notts were better side, played good football scored two great goals but too many mistakes at the back, too many poor goals conceded and an awful penalty season.
Felt a 50:50 game before the match, and very much ended up being a 50:50 could have ended up 4:2 to either side.
Moving swiftly on…….
It is interesting how so many are avoiding the huge elephant in the room and looking to lay blame elsewhere
The reason we are out is because we conceded 6 goals in 2 play off games
The reason for that is because the gaffa decided conceding goals isnt a worry as long as we score more up the other end. Some on here said thats ok id sooner that than be watching 1-0 wins and boring stuff. Some even suggested they wud accept losing playing that way. Well you had your way, the teams has been selected via twitter and facebook because the gaffa reads it and we have leaked too many bad goals and we stay in the national league.
Imo we will be worse next year as we are likely to play the whole season that way.
It's a fair point, but scoring two usually means you don't lose and if last season's rules had applied, we'd have gone straight to a penalty shoot out.
Today is only the 2nd time in two seasons that we've lost having scored twice (Maidstone home being the other) whilst we've scored 2 in 24 other games in that time and not lost. If you don't score then the best you can hope for is a 0-0, if you score then the opposition has to score at least twice to deny you a point.
If you are going to be weak at one end and strong at the other, then it's definitely better in this game to be stronger in attack.
