Alex Rodman: 'Notts County need to look at the bigger picture'

Much of what is said above is true , and if we collect maximum points from the 2 home games this week it will be quickly forgotten what happened at Mansfield, Let's hope we get back to winning ways quickly COYP

For me, we just don't seem to have the metal when it comes to fighting in local derbies.

Perhaps its because over the last few seasons we haven't had many of this nature, Chesterfield used to be lively and fun encounters but I don't know - something needs to give. You can win, lose and the majority will except it, especially if there is that fight but I always felt we would struggle if they played how did (which was the opposite to own game

from the stand Mansfield's first goal seemed to pull the rug from under the players. Heads dropped when I expected certain players to respond.

the players should stop acting like its an option to perform and just do it.

Local derby matches need the fire in the belly more than any other game I feel , and much of what wins other games often isn't enough to win one of these without said fire , this with Mansfield kind of reminds me of when we had that over florist some years ago , they must have hated it like we do this 

No fuel in the derby game, just broken rails and plenty of excuses.
