Slocombe 5 Didnt really have a lot to do, got something on the ball but not enough to prevent Halifax's equaliser
Brindley 4 Too many sloppy passes and always checks inside rather than over lapping going forward
Rawlinson 5 Perhaps should have pulled the guy down in the final minute. Connel was Ok rest of the match
Lacey 7 Superb block, goes in where it hurts and was hurt
DKE 6 Much stronger on the left side for the team
Reeves 5 Good shot but expecting much more
Doyle 6 Kept midfield ticking
JOB 4 Faded second half, legs gone?
Enzio 3 and thats being kind, like playing as a team with only 10 men. Needless boot forward at end of 1st half
Sam 5 Took goal well, touch rest of the half just OK ish.
Wootton 4 Lack of service and constantly being fouled
Subs
Turner 1 All the experience and he switched off
Roberts 4 Could and should have made it 2
So this happened...
He was substituted at half-time. It was 2-1 at that point but Zimbabwe scored again in the 2nd half, so the game finished 2-2.
Luckily for him, I don't the National League has players quite as good as Mahrez!
Game 9 - The Shaymen (A)

It's a steady decline to be honest. The basics are not even being executed now. Sloppy in possession. Switching off at key moments. Making catastrophic errors that lead to goals. The team needs a collective kick up the arse. The complacency is just not good enough.
Not good enough
Dropping two points at the death is galling, but it sounds like we had been inviting the equaliser for a long time before that. We've got multiple players who are out of form, yet there's no-one who can step into the breach. Now we need a reaction.
In mitigation, it's been impossible to build up any kind of momentum this season and, if we'd seen this one out and held on to our lead against Maidenhead, we'd be looking at 5 wins out of 7 despite some underwhelming performances.
Another England game, another disappointment.
Englsnd cannot now qualify in the Nations League.
From the moment the team sheet was announced, it was inevitable that it wasn't going to have a good ending for England. The only positive was Grealish getting his first competitive start for England and he played excellent.
First half was not great at all. The free kick that led to Belgiums second should never have been given. Kane was unlucky not to equalise, Lukaku did well defensively. But other than that chance, we looked like doing nothing.
Second half was much better, we were getting behind and creating chances more but it was with help from Belgium as they sat back pretty much the whole second half and let us attack and even though they weren't bothered about attacking as much, they still effortlessly got behind our defence and created dangerous chances.
Southgate needs to realise this formation and some of his selections do not work before it's too late. This nations league campaign with these players and formation has been diabolical.
When Grealish was attacking and looking to drive at the defenders, you could see how annoyed he was having to play it backwards. We allowed Belgium to regroup quickly rather than catch them on the break which we could have done on several occasions.
Not to mention that Belgium were missing Hazard and Carrasco who would have added to their attacking threat.

Great news! Do you think this will stop people speculating that he will be off soon?

I don't think @TheMagpieCircle requires much of an introduction really, it's been a smash hit with fans since Paul Mace started production with his son on the regular online show which brings former players back to the spotlight.
However, I am very pleased to be welcoming TMC to our Notts County community.
I'm keen to support our friends and, hope to see their YouTube channel grow further.
You can give "The Magpie Circle" a follow here.

I'm currently listening to The Dubliners, a band that my father @super_ram enjoys listening too.
I quite like listening to Irish folk songs, it's certainly something which he passed down. I think Luke Kelly had one of the most unique voices that I've ever heard, weather he sang a serious song or something a little more fun. The music behind a lot of it is enjoyable, but a thing of the past. This will sound weird to anyone who knows how much I enjoy my rock music.
Yet some punk bands in the 70's grew inspiration from the genre (among others).
The sound is perhaps the best thing about the genre, especially when it sounds haunting.
What music has been passed down to you?

Our forthcoming match against the Hatters has been postponed as four of their players have The Plague. Obviously I wish all concerned a speedy recovery and two symptom-free weeks in front of their XBoxes.
So our next match is at Halifax a week tomorrow. Makes you wonder if this season will ever get finished. It's chaotic already.

I have seen fans on social media claim that those who want Ardley to stay as the manager, are accepting that Notts are second best. Are they forgetting what caused Notts County to demise through the leagues over the years or even what helped the club rise to the old First Division?
The reason Notts ended up out of the Football League is because we sack managers far too easily.
Aside from the odd game so far, the other performances have been quite good. Taking any excuses away from those for and against, have faith in the owners to make the correct decision, I hope the rumours are wrong and I do feel it will be proven to be made up. Notts doesn't have the luxury to get the best manager in, or have a squad of 50 odd players because the next manager decides that half of the current lot aren't good enough.
Neal Ardley has shown he can deliver, it's far too early to close the door.

The game has so much unnecessary pressure leading into it, but it should ease once the game begins. Notts needs to get a feel of what Stockport has about themselves, it's live on TV and that's another blessing in my eyes.
Neal Ardley knows a result would push Notts back up the table, the players understand what is required.
It's just getting it out of them.
At the moment, I don't think Stockport will batter us by any stretch of the imagine. I feel it's more closer to being a draw and, I am swaying towards 2-2.
Off. Covid reports by Stockport. Just reported by our Twitter
Disappointing but no real surprise, I still think Notts could have won them had the game not be postponed. More time for training now!

I don't mean like teams Notts are playing away, I mean like other Non League and Football League teams. I have been watching some of Derby County's games, along with Walsall.

I listened on the radio. They often spoke about the players slipping over - Mark Stallard mentioned that the players would have been out on the pitch before kick-off and would have had the chance to get a feel for it. So why were they slipping about as if they were on an ice rink? Lack of preparation (born of complacency) perhaps? Not very professional at all. Being The Best Team In The Division won't help if you let your standards drop.
@Chris despite all the adversity, last season we finished third and came within 90 minutes of going straight back up. Despite our much better circumstances, our summer transfer business seems to have actually weakened the squad. It's still early days and 9 points from 6 games isn't a disaster, but if we end up going backwards I can fully understand the frustration. We don't have a divine right to success, but we have good (and rich) owners, an established management team and a dressing room that fully buys into its ideas, and financially we can blow everyone in this division out of the water with the sole, possible, exception of Stockport. Everything is in place for success. The bar was always going to be set high, and justifiably so.
I don't know why so many of the players struggled to stay on their feet, maybe the pitch but it was just a poor display. Notts never set the pace, I am not sure why its all Ardley's fault because the players should've done better yesterday regardless of the tactics.
The players just never looked like creating a good chance on goal.
If Notts managed to win playing that poor, I would be surprised. Teams that start slow, are always second best are never going to get that break to score or lead in a game. I think too many are overlooking the players who are responsible when they cross onto the field.
Nobody had a great game for Notts, Roberts and Rawlinson are two big misses as mentioned.
When 10 players are poor, its always going to be a task to demand more and from there the game will get harder.

The only player that looked above average today... and Ardley had him at Wimbledon

Slocombe 5 - Didn't have much to do. Kept slipping over
Brindley 4 - Inconsistent when deciding on whether to join the attack or not
Graham 4 - Started well and then became sloppy with his distribution
Lacey 4 - What has happened to this guy? Monsters from space jam have drained the talent out of him. Constantly falling over and had a disaster for the goal
Chicksen 3 - Crossing was poor as was his all round game
O'Brien 4 - Some ok passes but was apart of a midfield that didn't take control
Doyle 4 - Was decent early on but his control on the game slipped away from him as the game went on
Reeves 4 - Poor in possession and too many sideways passes
Rodrigues 4 - Another who started well and showed glimpses but his contribution waned
Wootton 3 - Couldn't keep control of the ball, gave away too many fouls and missed a glaring opportunity
Thomas 4 - Lively at times but lacking end product
Boldewijn 3 - Still waiting for him to come on
Sam 3 - Should've scored. Not sure why we signed him
Turner 4 - Only player playing a forward pass by the 90th minute. Hard to rate a defensive substitute
