  20. @Piethagoram Yikes! I'm sorry to hear that you were caught in a thunderstorm and had such a nightmarish journey home as a result. I was mostly home when the rain started, and fully back when my home windows were vibrating from the noise of the storm. I'm glad this didn't happen during the game, or am I? It's a shame the game wasn't postponed, actually, oh well we move on.
  21. @Turkey_Twizzler mentioned this: Firstly, I hope Jodi is okay. He looked concerned and barely able to walk, he wasn't as such just limping but not walking on his left foot. The support will most likely help with compression and support. The crutches will just help him avoid putting too much weight on his injury, or putting his other leg/foot in danger due to compensating how he walks. We can't really read into this, just as to how serious the injury is. There's more negative signs from how he got up, dropped to the floor. He sat for a moment before attempting again, only to hobble afterward. It could be a potential sprained foot/twisted ankle. It didn't seem to be the actual "leg" which is a potential good sign, even though this isn't ideal.
  22. It was probably "those" friends who got him hired by Notts. I don't recall him being at the club, before he left for his Forest gig. I hate how certain staff use Notts as a stepping stone, especially when it's due to be appointed within the friends and family circle. I think the Reedtz have done well, with making sure the club appoints the right people. How he went from Solihull Moors to AFC Wimbledon I don't know, he must have some connections though. I think I found his account from before he got into football here: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/craig-cope-2a8459b7
  23. I have never held Steve Bruce in high regard. He's a 50-second manager and once his spark runs out - it all falls down hill. He's pretty average at best, but it's stopping new managers coming in. Which affects football, especially from the international front. We won't have good English managers making that step up into the Premier League, but there are dead beats already taking the positions, being fired and restarting. It might sound harsh, but there are people, just like Bruce, who just need to leave the game now. Bruce used to rely on loans from Manchester United, Darren Ferguson is a decent manager, but even he used his dad to establish his career by loaning United players. There will never be a manager age limit cap though, but just as in the U.S. are seeing with their presidency - it could be a good idea.
  24. I thought it was a lively start by both teams, Gillingham did look like a good team but once we took control of the first half - Notts piled the pressure and did have chances to open the lead. I thought defensively we looked comfortable, we dealt with threats, but the counter from Gillingham was a concern. Their goal came against the run of play, we had all the better chances but they either managed to score a perfectly timed goal, or it was offside. It happened so quickly, in person that I couldn't tell. The camera angles of Sky Sports are poor, they barely keep up with it, and it looks hard to judge. Even with this, I felt frustrated by the officials as they missed many clear fouls. There were numerous instances of pushes and throw-ins awarded to them despite it being our possession, alongside countless questionable decisions that left the referee and his assistants in utter disarray. I thought we would still get into the game, and we did have chances, we pretty much ran the show in the last 45th minutes. Sam Austin's goal didn't look offside to me, watching the footage, I found it hard to spot anything that would lead to it being so lately called. Jonny Williams aggressive approach to the assistant is what changed and the reason for the late call for offside. He shouldn't have approached the assistant, but cowardly he flagged late. Since, I have seen a picture which @ARLukomski showed me a still image, and I have listened to Stuart Maynard. I wasn't sure about the penalty call on Javani Brown, but I can say he wasn't offside or interfering with the play when Austin scored. It was very frustrating, but I am pleased by the Notts performance. Gillingham deserve credit, they made the game hard, but there are elements from their game which wasn't good to see. Jodi Jones departure from the field of play raised significant concerns. To expand on this:
  25. Jacob Bedaeu, he played some quality football and was defensively spot on for me. Bedaeu, can play a quick pass which a lot of our players seem afraid to do, but this from him gave David McGoldrick a good chance and he put Conor Grant clear through until a Gillingham player clattered Grant. I felt a bit miffed by Matty Platt's Man of the Match at the game, I thought he was quite solid but wasn't as involved. I wouldn't say poor, as he was good but just not Man of the Match for me.
