Bakayogo has a nightmare for their 1st goal. Every player marks their man except him and it's the one player (Alex Reid) who has the easiest chance of scoring, out of all of the Dagenham players in the box.

Fitzsimons performed well up until that point but think that might be the last straw for him at Notts. 100% released in the summer it looks like.

It's not just the two goals that we conceded that were poor, we were so lethargic and lacking in urgency the whole game. Passing was too slow and we didn't impose ourselves on the game well enough.

notts are playing too committed, leaving lots of space to be attack.  

ross made some very good saves, but was static for the first goal [little blame]. the second goal was awful. same mistakes as last season from him.

The highlights tell me that Notts played some good football going forward, but played it risky at the back. Some of the chances against a better team would have put away, and I am sorry but Fitzsimons doesn't fill me with any confidence.

I can understand why Ardley hasn't dismissed ruling out signing another keeper.

???? the defending is awful.

With Ross Fitzsimons it’s all down to confidence (or a lack of it). He needs to organise the defend and be more commanding, aside from dropping the ball for the second goal - I feel blaming him is harsh.

Dagenham seemed well up for it, the highlights show both teams going for it but there was warning signs.

I can’t help but feel Neal Ardley must be more vocal to the organisation during games. The space at the back should be better covered, leaving two players to defend seems clumsy. Those attacking need to put effort to get back.

It’s frustrating to watch, the goals was poor in conceding them. Need to see better defending on Saturday!

If Notts had created a better goal scoring chance it could have been very much different, if Roberts had scored Notts might have defended more wisely. Credit to them for getting the points, good play at times.

If Notts could break like they did, I would be a very happy fan because I feel we could be clinical this way.

Take the chances you create and it can be a different game, Notts needs to defend better against Chesterfield. I would speak with Jake Kean to see if he will start in goal, the club needs a vocal keeper.
