Come on you Pies

So half time.... 1-0 ... but several talking points...

 

Aborah...

Chances

LB?

because Hollis at LB isn't an option, but where are the two we do have?

Sharpe on the bench. 

Is there a LB injury we don't know about?

 

Not sure why Aborah isn't getting more Free Kicks, it appears he is being targeted... is this as I put, because he is foreign and referees think "Dive"?

 

We created 10 chances first half.... 1 goal, 1 woodwork, 3 on target, 5 off target....

All sounds very positive, so lets hope we go from strength to strength in the second half. A second goal, right now would be ideal.

COYP!

Enjoying game, Curtis stand out player with Stead and Jenner impresive, Swerts very composed and looks captain matrrial.

swerts replaced by trialist....noble on for smith

Thompson off for a trialist - standing ovation

Guys don't forget for those who are unable to get to matches, not only do we have match threads, there is the matchday chatroom going on

De Silva off... Sneidjers on

Everything is now clear... Darren Deadman is refereeing.... I am not sure he could referee a subbuteo game properly

allegedly a nasty challenge on Julian Jenner

1-2 against the run of play, as Notts had been on top for a while. Jack Dyce the scorer

Too easy again according to Ralph 

Don't like to say it but i get the same feeling as nearly every home game last season 😢

so... FT and a 1-2 defeat.... topics

 

Defending

Chances we created a bucket load more than scunny

refereeing (I Know, we always do......)

Why is he stil a ref? Gonna be some more hollering from me i can see, this coming season. We'll get him at least two games not to mention the other plonker Stuart Attewell. 

Beaten by Scunthorpe reserves. Bad defending again. RM has his work cut out to be ready for next week.

Well one week to the Big Kick off and after watching tonight I don't think we are any nearer to knowing our back four than we were on the first day of pre-season, we dominated most of the game but every time Scunny reserves attacked we looked vulnerable. On the plus side Curtis Thompson was superb and should have had two goals, Stead looks quality upfront and Swerts and Jenner look solid, but we are going to have to score 3 goals a game to have any chance of winning as it stands.

I'm not overly disheartened myself, I won't blame the referee either because I didn't witness his decisions.

I will say, I do think it highlights that we require a CB. Yet the Scunthorpe United squad seemed to have some depth, it wasn't a 'real' easy squad from the lineup I saw and the game did end 2-1, after which Notts did take the lead.

@Joe Jones is spot on, these tests should come now and hopefully we can fix them ASAP.

I think the CB's need to work harder together too, everyone is pin pointing them as our downfall.

Burke out injured.

Completely forgot he was injured, what's the injury and how long for? Realistically Aborah should easily be ahead of him anyway in hindsight

I agree about the CB need to work harder as a pair together, the problem is that we have not got a centre back parternship with 7 days to Stevenage!

Aborah and Burke don't play in the same position, Aborah is the ball player in midfield Burke is a far more offensive player.
