i thought on monday and tuesday that the sun might begin to shine, its gone back to being grim.

regarding sam austin i think he has done well when given a chance recently, i do like seeing him come on from off the bench in the second half as teams are tiring and expecting us to be more focused down the sides. he finds the pockets of space in the middle and although he works well going wide, he has the ability to bring it back in and then give it to someone like dan crowley.

you can see the pressure building when you see his face, the team have to turn the season around and give him time because its them who are letting us all down not stuart maynard. given the chance i firmly believe he can turn around and whilst i drove to bradford only for it to be called off very close to the game. i think the time could aid us better having spent it training. bradfords pitch seemed no better the other day when they played on it.

Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Plymouth Argyle Millwall 0-2 Birmingham City Port Vale 1-2 Shrewsbury Town joker Reading 1-0 Wycombe Wanderers Accrington Stanley 1-0 Bradford City Sutton United 0-2 Grimsby Town Aldershot 0-0 Oldham Athletic Kidderminster Harriers 0-1 York City

i thought this was worth sharing here, as i agree with everything mentioned in the post.

i think we need to make sure that jake reeves is marked out of the game, hes the player i felt pulled all their strings at their ground and he is one of those players who can make others around him go that extra bit further. i am nervous, i dont see where our next win will come and i still remain nervous for stuart maynard as it seems unlikely people will stop finding fault with him. it would be something to see us at our best, well prepared and looking brighter but with the season being competitive i do not see it. wimbledon fans must be feeling confident, i just hope we give ourselves some credit.

like everyone else i am growing tired of all the complaining by fans, its nice that we can talk about things here and put perspective behind our thoughts. it feels on social media that everyone is soaking in the doom and gloom, that is probably just me but it certainly gets people talking on those types of sites. is winning games now the only way we can lift the spirit amongst the notts camp? first time i have felt like some notts fans are picking at the brothers, club and players without much reason. the trew and hardy era where very bleak and filled with false dawns and promises. i have faith in the reedtz, i just hope things improve so that we can go again next season. as i feel even if we managed to reach promotion we would struggle. we are not ready for league one football and some fans would just expect us to be in another promotion fight. instead we most likely wouldn't be doing that well against much better teams as things stand.

yeah mine is back now, i am not sure if facebook has addressed this outage but thankfully it seems like it was meta.

its great to see his assists, i love watching jodi going forward and this season is one for him to remember for sure.

i think all of the english leagues are difficult, the national leagues a joke with only two promotions and one of those being via the playoffs. harrogate and sutton dont realise how special their achievements are. league two this season has shown its difficult but hopefully we can start to steady and go on to improve next season. with four teams going up its not as hard as it could be. league one is quite a stretch if you dont have the money to invest in the players. i think once we do get back there we will need a few seasons just to establish ourselves so that we dont come back straight down to league two. the championship has to be our dream for any team but you need to have the right balance of finances and good enough players. i think its likely teams will do a us or yeovil.

it sounded like a brilliant season even if big sam decided to go to bolton at the end of it, he delivered promotion and @Chris has mentioned that we played arsenal in the pre-season after selling jermaine pennent to them. i cant imagine finding my clippings from papers these days, as i dont buy any and prefer to read content from more credible sources.

i think much of the reactions against sutton were caused by frustration, the way the sutton players behaved and got on to our fans would only in turn put the pressure back on our players. i do wonder why some fans consider themselves supporters but thankfully thats few and far between, twitter can be an ugly place for any football fans but i do agree that we are in this together. i would have the club to be in the jamie fullarton times again. despite the poor transfer window, its our first back in the efl and i am very thankful for the investment of our owners.

i think the way seasons are going and the current weather, months will make their own mind up on what is summer and what is not. but leap years are interesting, things like this and turning the clock hour backwards. at what people did someone figure these out? ????

week days its all work, non stop and i am reaching the point where i feel overtime needs to be reduced. saturday i was looking forward to going to bradford even though i did not have any company, i felt disappointed when the match was called off because of the wasted fuel and time but thats football. i decided to drive to manchester to meet up with @TheSkipper, which was good. sunday is always usually the same for me, shopping and visit my mum.

it sounds like a good idea but i think more focus on having former players attend games on a regular basis should be explored too. i am sure it helps with hospitality and its an area within football that makes good money.

great saves, i have seen both many times before and i can see why england did well with both gordan banks and peter shilton. very good keepers, shilton was very flexible and cat like, with banks being such a great commanding keeper and shot stopper.

going into the transfer window, i did have hopes that we would sign an experienced defender but we brought in jaden warner and lewis macari permanently. both looked okay at the time, i did hope that we would still make a signing that made us feel that the defence would have someone fresh and experienced to help reduce the mistakes made in games. i like jaden warner but i think we dont help him at times with repeatedly changing where he starts. i think we need to figure out who the best player is in the middle of the back three and when that turns to four or whatever it does not lose shape for certain players. i love that our owners are ready to invest but my point about the jata fee, we could have spent it adding depth to cover the injuries and avoiding some of these pointless loans we have had. its been a poor season for bringing in players on loan, almost like its been an after thought or panic signing.

@Fozzy i dont see us dropping that low but playoff seems unlikely. the more fans make it a difficult place for our club and more lost the players perform it looks like mid table to me.

but our owners have no ambition. ???? free beers for the booers. ???? its good news because the club could make a fortune taking custom away from the navi and other pubs. pubs which only want our custom when the crowds are up.

happy birthday @super_ram, i hope you had a good one.

@Wheelbarrow repair man why do we care about something that does not care about us, when we are debating this on a fan site that does care about the club? is this not redundant if the post thinks we are too small? the club should let david jackson or whoever is from the bbc ask the questions. they do a great job and will push questions which effect the club but unfortunately with the results, i guess the club are trying to do pr damage control. this is starting to form a different conversation though unrelated to tonights game.

welcome to the pride of nottingham, i'm glad to be saying hello to you @ShannockPie.

there is not a single issue happening at notts right now, its more a collective of problems which could have been avoided but has turned into a giant mole in. i dont think stuart maynard is much responsible for the current poor form, i dont think luke williams would have done much better. the shine has gone off this season, there is little for the players to fight for and morale in the camp is clearly at the lowest since the reedtz brothers arrived. its not the end of the world to be average, i dont complain that we are not in a promotion race. i am concerned that we cant seem to win games but again this is less maynard but the players themselves. have the players stopped fighting for the highest possible finish? maybe the enjoyment has burst and its become mundane for them? or could they be going through the motion in an endless loop of little sign of getting back to better form? the weirdest thing right now is how much better we look away from home compared to the last handful of games at meadow lane. what do you think can turn the season around? what can help our form? simply a few back to back wins? i am very curious to explore this.

he has been making a lot of poor decisions, the amount of times he just sticks his feet in without thought of what might happen. its a vast difference to the man that made everything look so simple. now he reminds me of someone learning to ice skate for the first time, which is embarrassing when you take away the ice and put the person onto a football pitch. maybe it is the injury, but he seems to panic more for no reason. you would expect better from someone of his experience but as of late i can see why other lower teams have allowed him to leave. i think its more will and desire personally that is stopping him from being his best.
