The day after being totally outplayed by a league 2 team at their place, all be it, being totally outplayed once in nineteen games played this season.

I want to inject some positivity by saying that Notts are only three points away from the play off places with 27 games still to play & 81 points to play for.

Notts under Stuart Maynard, have suffered a catalogue of player injuries over the last few months with key players out of contention

Notts have slipped down the table, but it could have been a lot worse. Up to eight key players missing for a period can have a big effect on a teams performance.

The remaining players have done very well to remain competitive under Stuart's leadership to stay in contention over the last dozen or so matches. 

One very poor performance against a team that used the conditions & their tactics against  Notts to the full, doesn't define a whole season.

I believe we should all get behind the team on Saturday against Bradford and get a win that could get Notts back on track again.

Key players will be returning and that will be a big positive as well as the possibility of new players being signed in January. There is lots to look forward to for the rest of the season.

Agreed @Robbie let’s all get behind the team and manager and leave the negativity behind, the very word “supporter” means we support the club, if anyone is going to the match to hurl abuse at the players and Maynard or unfurl banners then I’d rather they stay at home,

Seen lots of negativity on social media especially the Facebook boards. I think it's totally uncalled for. Nothing will be achieved by being negative. 

I think everyone will behind the team come Saturday against Bradford and whilst we are still in a good position I can’t lie and say I don’t find our recent form worrying.

We are falling into some bad habits now, like the slow starts, kamikaze passing from the back and just general hopeless to put the opposition’s defence under pressure. Even earlier in the season before we lost most of our attackers, we had games against Port Vale and Gillingham where we really struggled to create any clear-cut chances.

Yes we have been better defensively, but for me it is coming at a cost to our attacking play. I understand we’ve had injuries to key attackers but we've still had a large amount of possession and we should be able to do so much more with the ball. We've provided Jatta with very few chances in the last batch of matches, the inverted wingbacks don't really cause teams any issues and I don't understand what our attacking midfielders are supposed to be doing at times now.

Of course, Dan and Jodi will improve us, but we can’t just rely on these two all the time. I mentioned the lack of assists from every other player bar McGoldrick in another post. Is everyone else awful or has the coaching not adapted well enough to get the best out of our other players?
