We are 30% into the season.

We have won half of those matches, drawn three and lost four we have the second best goal difference and third best in goals scored.

MP is on a 47% win percentage and is currently 1.6 per game. However we're out of the EFL cup and the FA cup.

I'm gonna caveat here with the fact I'm just using basic percentage rates from Fotmob here and haven't looked into the real stats like XG etc.

Keeper - Kelle Roos has a 98% save percentage but a 49% high claim rate - he's semi-reckless and scares the backline. We have to pack the box when defending because we don't trust him,

In terms of defence, McDonald is probably our most consistent defender we have but Platt and Ness both have really high aerial duels won and defensive contributions. Macari being the lowest.

For our WB’s - Tsaroulla is probs our most consistent performer with 84% of chances created. Bennetts ranks the worst at around 45% 

Midfield - Palmer is having a storming season with 86% of chances created but Robertson makes up for Palmer's 14% defensive contributions with 77%. Iorpenda’s stats for defensive contributions and aerial duels make for interesting reading at around 90% mark. Grant and Norburn rank for worst midfielders.

Forwards - Jayden Luker had a 88% chance creation and also a large defensive contribution. Interesting reading for Jatta’s and Dennis’s aerial duels, which are at 47 and 30% respectively. 

Overall - It suggests that we are really easy to understand. We have collectively, quite a large amount of technical players, but not really utilising them correctly. Playing up to Jatta isn’t and shouldn’t be the main style of play, he’s not a target man. Our WB’s don’t consistently perform and we’re far too narrow given we only trust left footed players.

Our biggest weakness is our GK which other teams target via high dropping balls. That is the immediate fix in Jan. Personally, I think it’s calling out for a shift to a 4-3-3, with someone like Robertson, Palmer and Iorpenda playing and then a forward line of Dennis, Jatta and Jones. I think this gives us a better chance knowing that one of best players this season isn't coming back any time soon.

All stats from Fotmob and percentages are based on a percentile ranking of that in the league.

What this says I don't know, but after tonight I hope we don't regress but I have a feeling it might.

Notts have been showing improvement during the last half a dozen matches or so & that was great to see, but stats don't include attitude & the attitude of the team wasn't right tonight & that gives me concern.

That performance tonight was one of the worse, if not the worse we've seen since Notts were relegated to the National League.

Martin in his post match presser gave no excuses, but the team simply didn't play for him tonight in my opinion. There were players tonight that demonstrated that they are simply not good enough in skill & attitude.

The January window needs to be busy with a new goalkeeper, a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder & a striker. All four being of good quality & of strong character.
