  1. Teams now know that if they move the ball around against us we have no answer and this is heightened when we include Smith in the side. When you're 2-0 down at half time, he should have took Smith and McLeod off, brought Campbell and Murray on and moved Noble to the centre. I fear that we will get hammered on Saturday, because Plymouth are quite solid at the back.
  2. The fact he wouldn't give a straight answer in effect answers the question. The bloke doesn't want footballers in the side.
  3. No, because we were still outclassed for most of the game. It actually took bringing on a couple of mobile players for us to make a bit of a comeback, but to leave Smith on again for the full 90 minutes is just a joke, the bloke can't run! That's one win from the last 4 games now, and will probably be 1 win from 5 on Saturday.
  4. What a lovely evening this is turning out to be. Missed the first few minutes and looked up on Twitter that he has decided to go with an immobile side versus a mobile side, brilliant! Unfortunately, I see this going as a 4 or 5 nil match, rather than is getting it back to 2-2.
  5. Tonight could be a watershed moment for the team depending upon the line up. McLeod: Has to be dropped, he is just hopelessly out of form at the moment and has never scored away anyway. Smith: His legs are gone and can't play another 90 minutes after playing 3 games in a week. Adams: Poor on Saturday, but might be saved if MacKenzie is back as I can't see two players being changed in the back four. Carroll: Will probably keep his place if changes are made elsewhere. Aborah: I think Fullarton's hand has now been forced on this and Stanley will at least make the bench (but should replace Smith), if not we know his Notts career will be over. Carroll Hewitt MacKenzie Hollis Adams Thompson Campbell Noble Aborah Banton Stead, Bench: Loach, Audel, Murray, Milsom, McLeod, Atkinson, Valencic This is the closest I can get to a plausible line up without ripping the side apart.
  6. I would like to see Milsom back as well, whether that is at left back or the left side of midfield, I think we have missed him. I actually thought that Hewitt had a decent game at centre half on Saturday, whereas I'm not a big fan of his at right back, I do at least think he is better than Atkinson in that position. Accy have injuries as well as suspensions, so we might have a chance of scraping a draw, but please drop McLeod and Smith as we can't play them with 9.
  7. Shock, horror! I actually agree with you on this!!! Look what complacency did for us last season when we were 10 points clear of the drop zone.
  8. How can Leigh Curtis give so many 7s to a side that has just been beaten by the worst team in the football league?!? I know he took some stick as he used to just give out 6s, but that is pathetic and he is just fanning the flames for the fans to have more of a dig at him!
  9. I would like to argue that it was way before April 2015 that he last kicked a ball competitively for Notts. OK on his debut against Crewe, but woeful after that. The lad has no pace, he can cross a ball though, maybe his best position is further inside than on the wing.
  10. I actually wondered when Moniz was fired as to whether Aborah would have a future with us. He is a very talented player for this level, but I feel he has to be used in a certain way for him to be effective (a bit like Boucard). Moniz utilized him in a method that suited him, whereas Fullarton is more than likely not going to, looking at the way his teams have lined up so far. Stanley would be most effective in a 3, or 5 man midfield, not a 4 man midfield as one of the two in the middle.
  11. I also think that Hartlepool will come and pack the midfield this weekend. I will currently take a 1-0 win as well because we need to build the confidence for a couple of really tough games coming up in a few weeks.
  12. Some mobility would be nice, we are just too static and make it way too easy for the opposition to run past us, which McCourt will do easily if he is in the mood. I can't see us getting anything out of this at all and can see a pasting if we just try to defend, so 5-0 to Luton. I would normally put a 1 against our name, but just can't see us creating any chances. Noble, Aborah and Murray to start please, with Bennett, Campbell and McLeod making way. I could swap a lot more, but doubt it would happen!
