So after Schofield was sent off I think most people thought Notts would crumble but they didn’t instead Notts adopted a all for one attitude especially in defence with off the line clearance and working together.
I know we only got a draw but it wasn’t a loss and and it’s very much in our own hands still.
Let’s hope the lads can carry on with the defending and keep the attitude of all for one as well.
Below is just a example of the lengths and team work the lads did to at least ensure a point.

Hoping Hilary performs better than our team on the pitch

Emergency loan in Alex Palmer has trained with the squad as he prepares to play in goal for us Away in Crewe tomorrow before returning to West Brom on Monday after Fitzsimons has withdrawn from the game on Dr’s Advice.

Macclesfield won Exeter City in a goal fest tonight, Notts are now back to the bottom of the League Two table.
5 remaining games, each one as important as the next one.
Will Neal Ardley regret going for points rather than wins? If Notts controls the game its a win, if not he parks the bus and I am skeptical if its good enough. We best hope Crawley or Macclesfield slip up.

Very very annoyed and fairy angry with teams doing us favours we couldn’t capitalise on them errors. Defensively we were awful didn’t really play to the well we can do and attacking wise I don’t think we even had a handful of shots . Another day another game we should have put the relegation zone in the rear view And started to build.

maybe us fans could be the squad instead of them, even us older ones could do a better job.

Not great

Palmer 4 - Couldn't really do owt for the goals. Released the ball too slowly on occasions
Tootle 5 - Looked dejected at full time. Pushed upfield a lot, trying to help the attack late on.
Stubbs 3 - AFC Passback at it again. Lost out to Chris Porter a few times in the air
Duffy 4 - Didn't really do much as Porter battled Stubbs instead of Duffy. Went off injured
Milsom 2 - If he passed the ball backwards anymore than he did, he would have ended up in Industrial Revolution Britain. He's not brave enough with the ball. Too scared to play a forward pass
Doyle 3 - Never had the impact on the game he had at Stevenage. Take him off corners please I'm begging
O'Brien 3 - Forgot to take his Red Bull. Was bypassed too many times by Ryan Wintle who was MOTM for Crewe. Silly fouls created
Rose 4 - Was better in the second half than he was in the first half. Tried to get counter attacks started and made challenges sometimes
Hemmings 4 - If he scores, it changes the game. Struggled on occasions
Stead 3 - Won one flick on all game and has the first touch of a camel
Boldewijn 3 - Ineffective yet again
Subs
Mackail-Smith 3 - First touch of a horse, runs around like a headless chicken
Alessandra 2 - Came on when the game was virtually over. Did nothing when he came on like normal.
Barclay 3 - Bought on for Duffy when he got injured. Covered ok
Ardley 0 - Set up defensively in a relegation battle away from home. The opposite of Stevenage away. When you need points and wins, setting up to take a point and hoping for any old knock on or bounce when hoofing it to Stead is pathetic

So I’m sure by now everyone has had the email or heard that Alan Hardy has decided to freeze the season ticket renewal prices until the end of April for 19/20 season. This is despite the fact that we do not know what league we will play in next season. I’ve spoken to someone from meadow lane and even If we do get relegated the price I’m told is not going to be lowered and will remain the same.

So the gaffer took to the media room this morning and gave his pre match press conference.

So last night we needed a favour from Exeter as they faced fellow relegation fighters Macclesfield but unfortunately it turned out to be a night that Macclesfield may just look back at and smile come the end of the season .
While It’s ironic that Exeter were the team that beat us 1-0 at meadow lane a few weeks ago. I just hope that the Exeter game is not the game that proves to be our down fall and that we do get a chance to turn things around
Macclesfield sit just two places and two points above the drop zone with Notts rooted to the bottom of league two.

A football fan overjoyed at a player signing for his team has got his name tattooed on his bottom after making a promise on Twitter.
Scott Reay tweeted he would get an Alan Judge tattoo if the midfielder signed a permanent contract with Ipswich Town.
He said he was "true to my word" and "had to get it done" when "Judgey" penned the deal with the Tractor Boys.
Mr Reay, 32, from Newcastle, said: "He's such a good player, I thought there would be no chance he'd stay."
So here's to thank Judgey for signing. Cheers ️️ #itfc @10judgey @IpswichTown @ITFC_bible @twtduk pic.twitter.com/zUm0perfH0

Mat Tootle took to the media room to give us his pre match press conference as he prepares to face his old team.

So with the straight red card on Saturday against Northampton being shown goalkeeper Ryan Schofield it means he will serve a three match ban as it stands.
Notts have not at this minute In time appealed against the card and more than likely won’t do.
So with that said it’s over to former number one Ross Fitzsimons to return to the number one shirt for at least three game.
With that said I know a number of people have some concerns about Ross being back especially based on his statistics this season.
But based on his performances on Saturday when he came on I have some hope he will play well In the games he will get between the sticks.
Saturday he looked a lot sharper and more confident making some quality saves and looked for me a different player.
I know the next three games are key and if it goes wrong things can happen we all know what could happen but that has to be put to the back of our minds.
I know now with the suspension for Ryan means Ross starts but what about a substitute goalkeeper I know it’s not a must but it is a bit of security knowing you have back up goalkeeper to come on if any thing happens.

So after today’s straight red we looking to be with our loan goalkeeper Ryan Schofield for three of our next six games unless Notts appeal the red card.
After the game myself and Chris saw Ryan and he said that there was hardly any contact made and the player made the most of.
So we are going to be without Ryan for the next three of the six remaining games will we miss him.?

So I ask this quite a lot but can we take any positives from today’s game against Northampton.?
-
So who’s heading to Crewe this Saturday to cheers on the lads.?
