Ross 2 - I've tried to be patient with him and whilst he has improved over the season, these last few games have showed why we need a new keeper. He just can't command his area
Tootle 3 - Did ok in the first half. Did what he had to do at right wing back before being subbed off after picking another injury
Brisley 4 - Decent first half. Again did the basics and defended well in the opening 45. Game was over once the second went in
Duffy 5 - Notts' best player. Tried to go forward with the ball at some points.
Bird 4 - Got a good eye for a pass and is our only quick centre back. Will continue to learn, the more games he gets
Evina 4 - He's ok in the wing back role as he can use his pace to help support the attack. No idea if the first goal is his fault
Milsom 1 - Get rid. No clue. Clown. Useless. Walking yellow card. Doesn't impact the game in any way
Vaughan 2 - Not cut out for League Two. He doesn't have the time on the ball that he is used to and isn't a threat physically to the opposition
Kellett 4 - Did what he could
Dennis 3 - I like him but when we did have the ball he made no runs in behind. Then in the second half he really couldn't do much as the game was over by the55th minute
Stead 3 - Showing his age. Poor old carthorse
Subs
Oxlade-Chamberlain 0 - Not League 2 standard. Took a throwing in the second half that went out of play
Thomas 3 - Takes too many touches when he's on the ball. Couldn't really impact the game when it was already finished
Etete 2 - Game was over by the time he came on
Ardley - Can't really give a rating to him as he's working with absolute dross and he looks dejected
Hi guys , my video from the bury game. Enjoy :).

Speechless... ????????♂️
Another red card? It's not good but Neal Ardley must get better from this squad away from home. I'm not surprised, Oldham are much better than what some thought.
I will be interested to see and read people's reactions.
Getting sent off for two bookable offences when you only came on as a half-time sub is indefensible, I don't think we'll be seeing him again. I hope Tootle is fit again against Colchester.
We started well and Bird was unlucky not to score, but as the first half wore on Oldham pushed us deeper and deeper. The first goal was a complete fluke, the second the Notts speciality where everyone stands still and watches a cross sail into the box. We were always up against it after that and we never managed to sustain any pressure at all. Next...
Well back to back strong performances seem to be beyond us it seems, hoped for a better away day after what was a terrific performance against Bury , but not to be , had some misfortune must be said , it’s true you make your own , maybe if we were going well Bird scores and that fluke doesn’t go in , nothing Changes bottom teams today didn’t do well best was Macclesfield getting a point , January is still massive, that’s not changed really has it ? A game less now , hope NA proves to be the magician we hoped .
Guy and girls can you join me in wishing the lovely @GrannyPie a very happy birthday. 21 today she is god bless her have a fantastic day @GrannyPie.

Notts are now looking doomed. Please get out of our club and allow someone in who is capable of running the club properly.

The defence played bloody fantastic against Bury and looked solid. Brisley , Duffy and Bird as a back three often rewarded each other for their work giving each other hand shakes and pats on the back ... little things can really boost a players morale.
But at any moment when Bury went on the attack thought that Fitzsimmons would fluff the game and loose it for us? I did.
We need a keeper in January full stop. Numerous times he should have come to collect the ball and didn't. The defence don't trust him. I am sure he's a cracking lad but there is so many mistakes in his game that need development and we need someone with experience to rely on before it's too late.
Been saying this since he took the No. 1 shirt and to be fair some of it is not all his fault but if we had conceded you couldn't have blamed the defence yesterday as they were absolutely faultless.

So Notts got a 0-0 draw at home to Bury with both Cambridge (toilet seat team) and Macclesfield losing has helped Notts.
We may be bottom and three point adrift but if we lost it would have been worse.
With a 3 point gap I feel it’s back in our hands now and with a few more results we can survive.
Hopefully todays result will now spread confidence through the team and hopefully give us the lift that we need.
Thoughts guys and girls

good draw and plenty of chances for notts to take the lead, i feel the game should have been a win but happy with the draw due to the spirited performance.
I thought Notts would throw it away around the 80th minute mark, so imagine my reaction to Notts claiming a solid point after the last woeful defeat. They need to step it up from here and learn to be more clinical, Nathan Thomas was wasteful on goal.
It was a good performance, they team did well and they created some exciting chances. Andy Kellett has shown his worth to the squad, he seems a useful player that can change games if allowed to play.

Can go for me. Had too many chances. Doesn't impact the game often enough and is too inconsistent.

I felt very disappointed today, almost to the verge that I felt there was no hope.
I came home and spent time with my family trying my hardest to forget about the result, it's difficult because I do care a lot about Notts County. I still can't put into words how I feel or what can be done to resolve this issue, this will be a real nightmare for Neal Ardley.
The performance was off from the start, I don't see how anyone could say we played well for the first 10 minutes.
Macclesfield looked good and well drilled, from the moment the game began they appeared like a side which had a point to prove and this made it hard for Notts to get a feel for the game. Their first goal was always going in, nothing Ross Fitzsimons could have done and I felt sorry for him. Why is nobody attempting to throw themselves in the line of the ball? It's all the basic things this Notts squad is struggling with.
I felt Macclesfield should have left having won us easily, yet pulling level allowed us to give them a game and after that goal we didn't do anything to go 2-1 up. We just stopped and conceded.
The most disappointing thing for me is how I feel Macclesfield seemed happy to take the three points by leading 1-0, even after we scored it looked like they was happy with a draw. Reckless play gave the game away, it's so frustrating because it should have made the players respond.
Confidence and a lot of other things are killing us off.
I'm sure none of us expected an amazing scoreline, but a loss was certainly not hoped for by Notts fans. Its getting closer to the end of the season and they need to get their act together.
Well it’s the night before Notts v Bury and I’m still not sure if we can win this or not it’s not going to be easy it’s going to be a hard game.
Im hoping the few days Neal has had with the team he can do something .. but it’s confidence we need and that something that will come from winning games.
Tommorow we need to go for it and tighten up at the back if we do that we may stand a chance
Which players guys and girls would you feel deserve a two year contracts.?
