Notts have been showing improvement during the last half a dozen matches or so & that was great to see, but stats don't include attitude & the attitude of the team wasn't right tonight & that gives me concern. That performance tonight was one of the worse, if not the worse we've seen since Notts were relegated to the National League. Martin in his post match presser gave no excuses, but the team simply didn't play for him tonight in my opinion. There were players tonight that demonstrated that they are simply not good enough in skill & attitude. The January window needs to be busy with a new goalkeeper, a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder & a striker. All four being of good quality & of strong character.

BBC SportBrackley Town 2-2 Notts County (4-3 on pens): League Two...Brackley Town became the fourth non-league side to knock EFL opposition out of the first round of the FA Cup as they twice came from behind before beating Notts County on 4-3 penalties.Brackley boss Gavin Cowan told BBC Two: "It's an unbelievable result. I feel totally blessed. The players were incredible, the fans have been amazing". "The players totally deserve it, they showed hard work, desire, doing a job and a half. They took it to the next level". "The players deserve all the credit. I want them to go and enjoy it now". "I thought we came out a bit slow in the second half but we were happy to let them have the ball in areas". "We wanted to make it a condensed pitch, be really patient and when it turned over the players were so brave, so courageous and played forward. It worked for us". "We really went for it tonight. The celebrations will be reserved because we've got a game on Wednesday, but I'm just so pleased for the fans and everyone attached to the club."

Very disappointed with the performance, but it wasn't just the performance, it was the attitude of the players as well. There just seemed to be a total lack energy at times I just got the impression that the players were just ambling along in no more than 2nd gear all of the match.Brackley set the pace & Notts continue to struggle against teams that sit back & employ a high press. If it wasn't for a piece of high quality from Jodi Jones with that pinpoint cross converted by Jatta early in the first half, Notts would have lost in regular time with the chances that Brackley had. If Notts had just matched Brackley for effort, Notts would have come through at a canter tonight. But it wasn't just the players, Martin taking off our best players in the 2nd half didn't help. It just gave the impression that the cups continue not to be a priority for Notts. All the best to Brackley who thoroughly deserved their win & I wish them luck in the 2nd round. The Notts players need to put this behind them and put things right against Man Utd under 21s on Tuesday.
