Your Sunday Morning Weather

The first 40 minutes were uneventful & even though Notts didn't create much we were comfortable enough at the back. The goal came right out of the blue and changed the game as it turned out. I think that not leaving a couple of defenders behind to guard for a quick break was a mistake. I thought Ness played well in the first half & may challenge for a regular spot going forward . The substitutions & the change of shape back to a back three helped to make Notts a little better up front, & Notts did have a few opportunities, but the penalty killed us. I think that the injuries may be beginning to hurt Notts. Jatta was definitely missed, and next week against Newport, Bedeau will be suspended for accumulating 5 yellow cards. The positive is that Jatta will be back next week, & Notts are only one point behind Crewe who sit in 2nd place. A win should see Notts back in the mix at the top once again. Just getting to the year end in contention has to be the goal now.

I think that Ness had a good 45 minutes. Didzy made some difference when he came on, so did Gordon Abbott & Palmer did ok as well today. But I think Tsaroulla stood out from the rest when he had those trademark runs that almost created something for the side today. I agree with @Fan of Big Tone that Notts kinda missed Jatta on the end of those crosses from Tsaroulla. So my man of the match is Nick.

@Chris I agree. The match was a farce & it shouldn't have been allowed to go ahead. Mike had trained hard but he is simply too slow at his age to be allowed in a boxing ring If anything would have happened to Mike it would have been a big tragedy for boxing and the sport may have not recovered from something like that.

For today's match my player shortlist for man of the match is as follows:- Ness,McGoldrick,Brown,Palmer, Gordon,Abbott,Tsaroulla,Bedeau

Notts down to six place, but just one point behind Crewe who are in 2nd place.

It's a loss for Notts today. Their first loss away this season. Injuries have caught up with Notts at last. And Jatta missing too, he gives Notts such an outlet.

Update. Update. Not our day today.

This is the Notts team to face Crewe.???? A little defensive minded if you ask me. Macari looks to be playing as a wingback. Scott or Brown leading the line with Austin supporting. Glad to see Didzy on the bench.
