Notts well beaten after taking the lead in the first half.

So who stood out for you today for Notts even though it ended in defeat? Please choose your choice from the following players

Roos, Macari, Ness, Bedeau, Tsaroulla, Palmer, Robertson, Bennetts, Grant, Hall, Jatta, Dennis, Jarvis.

The best player today was the one MP took off first - Nick Tsaroulla.

I would've liked to see him tried on the other side for a bit rather than Bennetts who got that chance.

Shout out too to Macari who was much better today and is combining really well with Tsaroulla.

Furthest away from MoM today - Roos or Jatta. How can Jatta go from MoMs to 4/10? He challenges for the ball as if it doesn't matter that the defender comes out on top all the time. Not the attitude we need. When the ball's there to be won we need a forward who is as desperate to win it as any defender.

Keanan Bennetts was my man of the match, thought he was really positive with the ball and showed some good technical skill.

Tsaroulla & Grant were head and shoulders ahead of anyone else but Robbo, Palmer both put a shift in and Ness was combative and solid again.

Bennetts - really? I’d have carted him & Jatta off first, closely followed by Hall. All 3 of them were almost completely anonymous after our goal. Between them, Bedeau and Bennetts made a right horlicks of marking their 14 for the 2nd goal.

Yes really, but it’s all about personal opinions at the end of the day.

Yes, agreed - fair point.

I am, genuinely, interested to know why Jarvis & Bennetts impressed others in the last couple of games. I’m not seeing “end product” or creativity/imagination tbh. They fit the system and certainly possess ability, I get that.

Tsaroulla & Grant were just more effective, productive & inventive for my money.

In my opinion Macari, Robertson, Ness & Grant were the standouts in a lackluster performance by the squad today.

I think there needs to be a change of approach the way that Notts play because their approach to this game simply did not work for them.

Tsaroulla for me

Grant showed some nice touches but we need someone who can shoot with power in that position

Yes it’s true that Tsaroulla, Grant and Bennetts all have ability but one thing they all have in common as well is the missing end product. With Tsaroulla and Bennetts it’s the final ball, the cross and particularly last season for Tsaroulla It was his shooting. He would dribble past three players and then sky it over the bar. If he could work on that he would be real player for us . With Grant he just lacks that ruthless streak. If he had it he could be our top scorer. What I’ve like about Bennetts is his willingness to take players on and her crosses in. He has the technical ability that some of the others lack. I could vote him as a man of the match but he has to do it more consistently and with more assists. Having said all that, I would like to see Kouyhar get a start, to see what he could do. It’s the same with Jarvis they need a consistent run of games to bring out the best in them. I think after Saturday’s performance, Martin Paterson might be willing to make a few changes.

nick tsaroulla for me.

i felt disappointed when martin paterson took him off, but i can understand that keanan bennetts looked good attacking. i just thought tsaroulla was superb all over the pitch.

The Poll has now closed. Thanks to all who voted.

I'm delighted to announce that Nick Tsaroulla is the Pride of Nottingham's Man of the Match against Colchester.

Tsaroulla a definite worthy winner. Having watched the full match replay, my choice Bennetts wasn’t the man of the match. It’s amazing how different a game is when you watch it at the ground and then watch a video replay.
