Notts are only 4 points behind Walsall who are in seventh place. 
There are a further 36 points to play for. 
We are still in the mix.

Agree?

Yes I agree, there’s still time to turn this around, if we all stick together, management, players and above all fans, being a supporter means just that you support your team and club even when the going gets tough.

Agree @Fan of Big Tone

People complaining and we are just 4 points off a playoff place.

Every Notts fan should get behind Stuart and the team over these last 12 matches.

Sadly there are the vociferous minority who would rather shout abuse at the players and the manager.

Without player improvements, I have doubts. Stuart Maynard appears to be struggling against a group of players who were in decline long before his arrival. The transition won't happen quickly enough, so let's ease the pressure and start by focusing on improving the form to salvage this season. Attracting players for improvement is crucial. Some fans booing aren't promoting reasons to stay, and it's disappointing. I understand poor form is the main issue. What began as a slight landslide is worsening due to the negative atmosphere. It's tough for a new manager when fans won't give him a chance. Maynard has faced challenges, and Luke Williams left at the right time. Unfairly, the blame is falling on Maynard.

When people ask what 'American Pie' is about, they're missing the point. The song isn't about the lines themselves - it's about what is between the lines. The song is about what isn't there.

I agree. Things can change very quickly in League 2.

Unfortunately, I agree. I'd love SM to turn this around and for the players to start showing as much fight against the opponents as some of them seemed to show against the fans on Tuesday night but a run of 4 points in 7 games takes some turning round. It was one heck of a tough run and I feel for him walking into such a start, especially when our defensive frailties have been evident for a long time. I'd love Alfred's dad to be right but I can't see how we'll only concede 2 goals in the next 3 games.

I think our best chance is to go full on Keegan - we'll score more than you! A main factor in our goals against record last season was that teams were terrified to attack us, because we'd destroy them if they gave us space. With players like Macca, Didzy and Jones we can get those goals flowing again.

@Simon Clark I agree. I'm coming to the conclusion that with this squad the best way to defend is to attack. Sides are still frightened of our attacking prowess. They all shape up the same against us.

No, we won’t make the playoffs, you shouldn’t have to go into every game needing to score 4 goals to have any chance of winning.

Expecting the slump to continue to be honest and I reckon we’re going to end up around 16th. Could have and should have been a nailed on playoff seasons.

Well@Fozzy that was Luke's philosophy for winning matches and most supporters accepted it while he remained here.

I don't think this squad can change. I would ask that they stop the silly mistakes by kicking the the ball out when under pressure. One goal could have been avoided if that had happened on Tuesday.

Given our current form, it seems highly unlikely that we’ll be able to fight for a playoff spot. I don’t think it’s going to happen and I’d rather see Notts strive to end the season as well as possible. We might manage to move up the table, but our main aim should be to finish above the mid-point if we want to attract good players next season.
