THE DISGRACEFUL MAGPIES v The Shots

Posted by M64 on March 28, 2021, 4:50 pm

Can we sink any lower? It's clear to me that this team lacks fighters.

We have Doyle, Rawlinson, DKE, O'Brien, Effiong, Turner and that's about it who are prepared to go tot to toe with the opposition. Reeves is borderline.

Wootton gets blocked out by any half decent bruising centre-half, Knowles couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag, Rodriguez, Sam, Enzio are all lightweights. Lacey thinks all this is beneath him, as for the full backs on loan, non of them look as though they are prepared to scrap.

And I'm afraid to get out of this league you need fighters first and this money ball approach won't work at this level. It does not take into account the human aggression you need to dig deep and elbow, kick, punch your way out of the division. Stats can only take you so far.

If the Boy Wonder thinks he is going to play his way out of this league then he is mistaken and we are going to be in non-league football for many seasons.

Aldershot have not won in four, I am not going to bet against them on Tuesday, all they need to do is get in our faces and we fold up like a pack of cards.

Anything could happen ...1-1 draw for me.

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES....GRRRRRR

Well Mr M that is surprise from you but by golly you are not far wrong. The new boy will have to learn and learn fast if the owners want to get out of this league sooner rather than later. I am afraid we are stuck with this lot till the end of the season though.
Slowcombe, Barnett, DKE, Rawlinson, Ellis, Obrien, Reeves, Enzio, Sam, Rodrigues and Knight to start. Turner, Wootton, Knowles, Wolfe, Pilling on bench. Some only because we have no other options. Time to redeem ourselves a little so a 2-0 win for me and that is saying something for me!!!
Regards to all

I think that we can't sink much lower, at least not defencively.
Now is a good time to to start growling and get at the opposition, like Maggie suggests.
Let this match signal the start of better times ahead,
Notts to win by 1-0.

As Ardley used to say Fred, Doyle gets picked because there is no other option for 90 minutes.
Sam turns up may or may not score a good goal but does not play for 90 minutes, same as Knowles, they switch off.

Doyle is 39, yes he's slow but he plays for 90 minutes, how sad is that , we have to rely on a 39 year old. Crazy.

As I said, you have to buy better players than the league to get out of it. Serious investment will get us up; not a continual drip feed of journeymen

That was even worse than anything else this season. Burchnal is totally the wrong man, please get rid of him now.

I left Doyle out cos he was injured and see what Ardley meant but he didn't sort out the midfield and he had an whole season to do it after Sloth left before the first game. Is Burchnall the right man? who knows but it aint started tooo good. I do really fear for the season now and can see us not even in the play offs. Do we keep backing the team for the rest of the season? Do we keep predicting results when we keep getting them wrong? Are we still Notts County FC? Are we still loyal and forever Magpie fans? Of course we are and we will. Once a Magpie always a Magpie. Sort it players or leave, we will be here long after you have gone.
