Well done Swedish for getting the correct scoreline, unfortunately not for the right team.
Why are 4thg tier footballers so thick? Norburn and Dennis! They sound like a cabaret act, Dennis with his ridiculous lunge on the halfway line in the 97th minute which got him booking number ten also got him suspended.
So we go into the Stanley match without a striker as Jatta is nowhere near match fit let alone half a match fit.
Yet again we started slowly, we did put up a good rearguard action with 10 men, but if Norburn had half a brain we would not have had to do that.
It was all very disappointing and to be brutally honest, as well as Notts can play, see the last 30 minutes against Walsall, sadly they can just as easily shoot themselves in the foot and make things very difficult for themselves.
We have now lost 5 at home in the league, it is just not on if you want to win automatic promotion.
When we won the 4th division title in 1970/71, we lost 7 all season and none at home, the last time we went through a season unbeaten in the league.
That team would murder the current team, they say you cannot compare teams from different generations, well you just have to compare what those players went on to win in the game to see how good they were. One captained his country at a World Cup, one won a European Cup medal, (winners) one was Chelsea's and Liverpool's record signing at the time, one ended up being our record goalscorer, another played 425 league matches as a central defender in the 4th, 3rd and 2nd divisions for us. Need I go on? They say today it is a squad game, what drivel, we won the title in 1971 with only 17 players, and 11 of those 17 played 37 or more matches each of a 46 league season, and Big Tone (Hateley to you Swede) father of Mark, only played 29 matches as he only came in November, and in 29 matches scored 22 goals.
For the record, Bournemouth finished runner-up, nine points behind us when it was 2 points for a win...and Brentford finished 14th..I want to cry.
it may well be tough on Tuesday as we do not have a striker, so I am going for a 1-1 draw.
A good history lesson right there, Maggie. This was two years before I stared to support Notts. My time began with Ron Fenton at the helm. Disappointing to lose against Chesterfield, it always is, and the way we lost it is surely hurting. As a hopeless optimist I will predict that we take down Accrington by 1-0.
Are we in trouble now, Based on the second half then yes. Too many suspensions, too many injuries and too many players running on empty. Can we question the training methods, Patto likes all in during training so it may seem like the players are running low on levels.
This is Notts though so can we pull another rabbit out the hat against Accy. They have beat the odds before but also blew the chance to leap forward.
Tempted with the draw but think we can go one better and a 2-0 win. If only but didnt get the score correct last time out but the goalscorer I did.
