A first loss for Notts.

Notts 0 Gills 1

Lack of finishing has let Notts down today.

Gillingham have done a smash and grab on Notts.

I think Notts have missed Jatta big time today. He makes such a difference with his height and the outlet he gives us upfront. And he's a quality finisher in the box.

Jones  getting injured late on is a big concern.

Gillingham know how to defend and they take their chance when they get it. Losses you can get over but not the loss of key players. Here's hoping for some good news later.

Regarding the Austin goal that was ruled offside, the flag went up so late.

 

[Morten Johansen]

To summarize:
- Jodi Jones injury. Looked like his ankle.
- Brown not awarded penalty - probably not the right decision.
- Late Austin goal ruled out for offside - flag up after 4-5 seconds.
- Missed 3-4 clear cut chances.

Overall better than Gillingham, both in play and in terms of chances created.

[Robbie]

Overall, Notts were not at there best today but they could easily have won 3:1.

If the chances had fallen to Jatta or McGoldrick, for example, they may have put those chances away, that fell to Tsaroulla & Abbott.

The Notts defence was pretty secure with Platt, Bedeau & Macari very secure, apart from the goal. 

The midfield wasn't fully on it but you have to give credit to Gillingham because they generally nullified the threat from Crowley & Jones.

Grant & Abbott weren't on it today either, & Palmer is not yet back to his best. 

McGoldrick was nullified too, although he did a lot of running today.

Gillingham are the best side we've faced & we could easily have gotten something from this game with more luck.

Lessons will be learned from the defeat. A draw would have been a fair result. Our best players today, Platt & Bedeau in my opinion.

Not yet being able to make it down the Lane, I have to rely on these reports and it seems the Magpies were a trifle unlucky and Tsaroulla had three good chances to put the ball in the back of the net. And as it's been stated had those chances fallen to Didzy Notts could still be sitting at the League 2 summit. However as I've said before it's a Marathon, Not a Sprint and Notts current position means Nothing now come the end of the season, is when it really Counts. Reading that Jodi hobbled off is a bit of a worry, due to the fact how important he is to the Magpies. But then again he may be able to be rested for the games against Burton and even Morecambe as I believe Notts have more than enough fire power to beat Morecambe. There's No point in trying to rush him back, should the injury prove to be more than a niggle.
