One absolute shocking display and one very mediocre display so far.
They seem to still be in non-league mode, they have not yet realised that when you go up a league things don't stay the same.
Our marking at everything has been woeful, Adebayo on Tuesday was just pushed away in his own six yard box for their first goal.
The marking at Sutton's first corner was non-existent for their goal.
Notts need a good shake, only Luke Williams seems to realise this league is harder and better than the last one, it's a pity we haven't got 10 more of him to play our opponents.
Grimsby are going to be backed by between 2 and 3,000 fans, it could be another defeat unless we realise, we cannot roll teams over any longer.
I'm going for a sneaky 1-0 to get the season going.
I'll be there with Foxie.
WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES....GRRRRRRRR
Re: WHEN ARE WE GOING TO START MAGGIES v The Mariners
It hasn't looked good, that is true. I don't think that gap is as big as displayed last Saturday. We didn't show up for that game- Let's show up for this one. Notts to win 2-1.
Re: WHEN ARE WE GOING TO START MAGGIES v The Mariners
Well that didnt go well for the first two games of the season did it?
Maybe we should try reversing defence and attack to see if its any better, can it be worse?
Having watched the first game live and the second full match replay due to work, in the cup tie I counted well over 100 backwards passes from the 15th minute(when I started counting) Unless we move forward we aint going to create any scoring chances and can rely on the defence to concede at least one.
Its not over yet and not to down (yet) so will go for a 3-1 scoreline.
Regards to all from a very wet NZ (just had our last game of the season called off for a flooded pitch and first one of the season.
