Kyle Cameron and John Bostock shine as Notts County come up short against Wrexham

john bostocks free kick is the type of goal you hope would win games, i thought wrexham did better in the first half. a lot of iffy antics but both teams played well. as i said in the match discussion, i dont personally blame the officials i thought they did quite well. unfortunately notts just was not good enough on the day.

its what it is, but we have had a good season and need to use this to push on through the playoffs.

Notts needed to step up their pass accuracy in the first half. I thought Jim O'Brien did well to win the ball back at times and dart forward. Ruben Rodrigues offered little defensively; when it mattered, Notts were clumsy. Good goal by John Bostock!

After John Bostock's stunning goal put us ahead, I had high hopes for the second half. Unfortunately, defensive errors proved costly and we were unable to hold onto the lead. However, credit must be given to Wrexham for their improved performance. While their physicality and tendency to dive can be frustrating, they played much better than in their previous highlights or at Meadow Lane. It's disappointing to come away with a loss, but hopefully we can learn from our mistakes and improve in the next match.

It's not really a matter of the other team being better, it's more about how they handled the situation and made the most of the support from their home crowd. I watched the highlights and all of the other team's goals made it seem like Notts County couldn't defend well. For example, the first goal was confusing because our player fell down too easily. On the second goal, nobody was guarding the far post and the goalkeeper had no chance when they were left wide open like that. The same player who fell down easily for the first goal also made a mistake for the third goal. Their poor defending was really apparent.

Can we talk about that free kick by Bostock for a second? He picked his spot and just let it rip! I’m surprised the net didn’t disintegrate on impact. Sure, it wasn’t the only damage done, but it was one heck of a game between two amazing teams. It’s easy to feel deflated after something like that, but remember: hot air balloons rise and so will County. Keep your chins up!
