Bit disappointing to go out at this stage but we always had bigger fish to fry this season, unfortunately we look like ending the season as also rans unless something changes very quickly.

Jaros 6.5 Couldnt be faulted for any of the goals. so nearly saved the penalty for Solihull's opener, then wrongly adjudged by the hopeless ref for a 2nd penalty, linesman overruled

DKE 6 Combative, bordering on a red card

Rawlinson 6 Game made for his heading

Lacey 7 Great header to score from a corner

Chicksen 6 Got exposed defensively at times for not putting in a challenge

Francis 5 sometimes too easily challenged in midfield

Vincent 5 effort yes, but quality wasnt there

Brunt 5 hit the post, coudnt make things happen

Ruben 8 motm .... 2 goals 1 assist

Wootton 7 a better game than recent performances, lovely through ball to Ruben

Roberts 5 Anonymous 2nd half

  • It was worse @DangerousSausage

    Started off quite promising for the first few minutes. Yeovil started the game with the high press, but we managed to get through it and created a couple of really good chances. We then went right off the boil and the rest of the half was pretty average.

    Second half we were woeful. Awful header from Francis to put us in a mess and although Jaros managed to block the first effort, he had no chance with the goal as he was out of his area.Β 

    Never put them under any real pressure and got lucky with the equaliser.Β 

    Highlight of the day for me was the Melee. Tempers were frayed, so our response was to bring on that timid soul DKE! Their number 14 was subbed to stop him getting sent off from another foul and I thought Ruben was going to go with his reactions to the ref not giving him anything.

    I think at the moment unless something changes, we'll struggle to make the playoffs, we're not a big or physical enough a side and if teams press us we struggle as we only have one playing style.

    That's a good summary.Β  Based on the clear cut chances we created in the first half it's a game we should have won, but once we had given them a goal we were truly awful and a bit fortunate that their marking was lacking in stoppage time.Β  We look good when we are on it, but hard working, well organised, but limited teams like Yeovil cause us more problems than they should.Β  I think we'll make the playoffs, but winning them looks a bit of a dream at the moment.

Artist NameJohn Alfred Arnesby Brown (1866-1955)

TitleVictorian Nottingham City Landscape 1887

DescriptionΒ A superb British Victorian city landscape oil painting by noted Nottingham born artist John Arnesby Brown, painted in 1887. This rare early work is a product of Arnesby Brown's time studying in his home town at Nottingham School of Art in the late 1880s. Even at this date Brown revealed himself to be far ahead of many of his contemporaries in his approach to subject matter. Rather than a tightly painted topographical record of the city, he presents us with an already impressionistic and highly evocative view of an industrial city centre, together with the restless bustle of its street life. The work is rich with contemporary reference; the wall of advertisements in the background referring to a performance by one of the most lauded sopranos of the century, Adelina Patti, on a tour to Nottingham's recently opened theatre with Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado (one of the duo's most successful operettas). A really atmospheric twilight view of Nottingham's Victorian past by a noted Nottingham artist.

Signed with monogram and dated lower left AB/87.

As of today there's a new, six-part podcast about our very own fake sheikh Russell King and his ownership of Notts. I'm going to listen to the first episode in a few minutes, but I'm sure it'll be an interesting listen.Β

  • Agree with @Fozzy. However, its just another game, where we concede another "stupid" goal. Sharpness in front of goal, Wootton had another of his "off" games. Ruben and Cal couldnt find the space for their shooting skills. Sam, really close to scoring with another 2 efforts. Is it just me, but when Kairo comes on, I have no confidence that he will score

    Top spot is a big ask, just feels like we've been eight for an eternity now, luckily our game in hand is against Dover...

    Yeah, I hate this whole thing with referees that once they’ve sent someone off they all of sudden become very lenient with that team. The one thing you could’ve guaranteed if one of those penalty shouts had been at our end Halifax would’ve got one.

    I’d like to know the stats regarding us (or just the teams in the NL) and red cards, is it really a big advantage anymore? We usually do okay whenever we go down to 10! I remember the first game against Halifax in this league, Doyle got sent off but we scored and got a 1-0 win. Last night Solihull went down to 10 and they won. Woking also went down to 10, they went 1-0 down but got a goal back and drew...

Has anyone seen the video about the potential buyers in 1997/8 on YouTube??... Its not that long ago but I've never seen or heard of him....Β

Really comfortable on the ball

He came through the youth system at Crewe

Jaros 4 Decision making all wrong for the halifax goal. Should have been more decisive in coming for the ball.Β 

Chicksen 6 Comfortable in possession, though wish he could get to theΒ  by line more

Cameron 6 Missed a crucial chance when seemed easier to score

Brindley 7 Reading the game much better now. Some strong runs

Richardson 6 Better 1st half, we just seem to miss going down the right second half

Francis 6 Looks better alongside Palmer. Needed more positivity going forward

Palmer 6 TidyΒ  but the unlocking pass just wasnt there

Rodrigues 6 Some good movement but sometimes no one was making the run needed

Roberts 6 Again better 1st half, well marked

Sam 7.5 (motm) a thunderbolt of a shot, saw one cannon off the post. Looks "a player" rather than a clumsy liability... well deserved motm award too

Wootton 5.5 Sharpness eluded him, some good chancesΒ  missed

You know what to do - gaze into your crystal ball or throw your rune sticks, and get your predictions in by 3pm on Saturday, and remember your jokers. Good luck! :)
