Notts County succumb to meek defeat against AFC Wimbledon


Joe Jones

Jamie Fullarton’s first home game in charge of Notts County ended in a limp defeat as AFC Wimbledon outplayed the hosts their 2-0 win at Meadow Lane on Saturday.

The Magpies started brightly enough and saw Blair Adams head against the post following a pinpoint cross from Wes Atkinson.

In the ninth minute, however, Neal Ardley’s charges took the lead in exhilarating fashion as a good team move which included a deft backheel was finished off by Tom Elliott’s powerful drive past Roy Carroll.

Notts laboured in a bid to get themselves level, which proved tricky given the referee was guilty of a number of disputable decisions, but Izale McLeod missed a good chance early in the second half.

The Dons then hit the woodwork themselves when Lyle Taylor flicked into the path of Andy Barcham, who smashed a shot against the bar.

Boss Neal Ardley would have wondered whether they would rue such a miss, but Barcham made amends when he doubled their lead from just inside the box on 83 minutes.

Fullarton’s side threw everything forward in a bid to get a result, but the Dons comfortably held out to make it eight games unbeaten away from home and condemn the former Nottingham Forest youth coach to his first defeat.

Very disappointed by Fullerton's interview on Magpie Player. Were we watching the same game? Elite pie posted elsewhere to say it was like an advertising salesman justifying his existence. We would have more respect if he had said that the performance was unacceptable. Klopp at Liverpool says it as he sees it, good or bad and takes the fans with him. To be deluded to say we were in the ascendency, showed utter contempt towards us fans. So disillusioned that the creativity left from Ricardo was left on the bench and even more so out of the match day squad.

"The thing that changes opinion is results and performances"

"In a manor that is attractive and effective"

The exact words used by Fullarton

Why does he think we want to watch hoof it into the stratosphere ala Derry again?

@Northants Pie You missed his alleged other quote.. "Players that score spectacular goals like the one at Crawley have no place in my side". :D Perhaps it was edited out :D

Alongside the other one edited out

"If you can actually play football then you also have no place in my team"........

@NorthantsPie  One can say The Undertaker has taken the midfield diamond to a new extreme, The Coffin. two upfront, two near them but slightly wider not knowing what to do, the other two a long way back. Tactical plan, hoof it into the box :D tis a dead giveaway

Leigh Curtis is quite clearly on the "I better say positive things otherwise I wont be allowed back in".

We were ripped apart by a sh!te one dimensional team and if we are going to play like that with that stupid formation and team selection then they may as well try and sell the ground for housing now, save us all the heartache....
