Of course he is the reason we are in League 2 and we will be always thankful to him for that, however, he failed to identify that the team that got us promoted was not fully good enough for league 2, whether it be mistaken loyalty or other factors. Luke lost 9 of his last 15 games in charge at Notts. Then he skidaddled leaving it to another Head Coach. Luke's failure to rectify the problems in our defence, when he had lots of time to do so, has gone a long way in costing us a playoff place, because Stuart was left with what is Luke's team apart from Warner, Robertson, Jatta & Ashley-Hamnond.

Half the side are simply not good enough for league 2, we all know that. That's down to the previous Manager not sorting the problems out when he had plenty of opportunity to do so. Most on social media were praising Stuart and the side after the game Some people need to get over Luke Williams. He got us promoted then messed things up big time. Looks like the owners want to give Stuart time. We weren't ready for promotion anyway. I remember big Sam had a very bad start and people at the time were calling for his head too. Look how that turned out

On social media those who had sat in the cop said that those so called supporters put their banner away when we equalised but never celebrated our goal. I

@Super_Danny_Allsopp Austin was injured, so it was a forced change, and Stuart changed to another midfielder. Bostock isn't the player he was earlier in the season, Jatta had run his socks off and his not yet up to full fitness and was taken off for McGoldrick who is regarded as one of our best players. Just remember, Stuart selected Jatta to start the game ahead of McGoldrick so that was a good move on Stuart's part. Ashley-Hamnond, Austin, and Jatta were picks that paid off today, Jones was another good substitution that supplied an assist for the third goal. So all in all it was a good game for Stuart, You can't blame him for individual defensive errors either.

Interesting remarks from the MK Dons Manager saying complementary things about Notts after the game to the media.

@Wheelbarrow repair man Jones's wife has had a baby, he's had no sleep or training done this week. That's why he wasn't selected to start. I think we have to give Maynard credit for his team selection today, Ashby-Hammond, Chicksen, Jatta and Austin all featured today. Ashby-Hammond distribution was good, couldn't be faulted with any of the goals, Chicksen has an assist, Jatta scores again, Austin scored and Jones came on later and had another assist. Chicksen played very well today and it was like old times with him just like he was playing last season. The side played with pride, passion and an intensity today which was most welcome. We lost some of that when Austin went off injured. Austin had been pressing so well before he came off. Bostock is not the same player he was earlier in the season. I thought Notts were unfortunate not to win the match and were let down by two avoidable defensive errors once again. I'm pleased with the result, we are mathematically safe for another season, we have an exciting player in Jatta to look forward to next season. Sort out our defensive frailties with new players and we will be a threat to anyone next season. The banner was unfortunate but soon got folded away when we scored. It is clear by that performance that the players are still behind Maynard and if we play like that for the last 5 games, I think he will still be there at the beginning of the next season.

Another angle of Jatta's Hateleyesk Header for our second goal.

Enjoy watching our three goals against MK Dons today. The goal by Jatta reminded me of Tony Hateley at his best. Looks like we've got a good outlet for next season.

A much better performance by Notts today. It reminded me how Notts used to play earlier in the season. The first half performance was just what the fans wanted and we were unlucky not to be ahead at the break We went behind to a good goal by MK Dons but Notts got the deserved equaliser just before the break when Austin poked home. We started well in the second half and went ahead by a good header from Jatta from an excellent cross by Chicksen. After Notts went ahead they allowed MK Dons to dominate and 2 mistakes in our defence again let Notts down. Deservedly Notts got the equaliser late in the game, Jodi Jones crossing for Nemane to stroke home. The positive thing from this result is that we have avoided 6 straight defeats at home which would have been an unwanted record. The performance today gives me hope that things will get better at Meadow Lane. A good performance against a top four side just shows what this side is capable of. By the way, we are staying up ???? Forest Green and Sutton can only get to 51 now we are on 52

Goal number 3 for Notts. Nemane with the goal from a cross by Jones. It ends as a 3:3 draw

Goal number 3 for Notts. Nemane with the goal from a cross by Jones.

Another goal to MKDons. Our defence woeful. Notts 2 MK Dons 3 I'm sorry but why make substitutions to a side that was doing so well. Taking Austin off and Jatta absolutely criminal.

Goal to MK Dons 2:2

Jatta puts us ahead early in the second half

We are level. Austin with the goal. We are deservedly on terms at the break. We've dominated and Langstaff has hit the bar. Jatta had an early chance but the first half performance has been great Keep it up. CMON U PIES.

Goal to MK Dons on 18 minutes. Notts 0 MK Dons 1 Can't do much about that goal.

Four changes to the side that lost at Swindon. Great news. Cedwyn Scott on the bench for Notts. So pleased that Jatta is in for Didzy. Hopefully Jodi will play second half
