Notts County (H) Tue December 3rd 7.45pm

Since being in League 2, number of wins in all competitions throughout each season:

19/20: 46 games - 17 wins
20/21: 51 games - 12 wins
21/22: 53 games - 17 wins
22/23: 55 games - 16 wins
23/24: 54 games - 20 wins
24/25: 26 games - 16 wins

Need 4 wins from the next 30 games to equal the most number of wins in a season since being relegated.

Possible? :grin:

Moaning Minnie “we’re not going to win every week”…they haven’t won in the last 5

Yes, Bass was solely responsible and looked out of plaice. I’m not sure what their manager was carping on about!

Incoming fish puns

I thought County were really lovely on the eye for L2, call it tippy tappy if you want, but they had some dangerous triangles going in the final third which caused us issues from the flanks, and their players seemed to know instinctively where each other was.

Problem for them is that works if you have PL level players, but L2 players are L2 for a reason and will make mistakes, and I said a couple of days ago playing County would suit us much better than cloggers like Bromley.

I really don’t rate Simkin though, possible deflection aside for the 2nd, he failed to command his box on a couple of corners, and seems very shaky under high balls where he’s getting pressure from the opposition.

Great game between two good L2 teams.
A relief to see Barrett playing well and that Saddler had the confidence to play Williams.
We missed Comley, but Hall and Lakin more than made up for the weakness in our midfield.
So pleasing that Saddler does not try to defend a lead by subbing forwards with defenders.

Was no weakness in midfield tonight.

Saddler is top class in post-match interviews.
Every chance he’ll manage at Championship level. Brings a level of professionalism not seen for many years.

While in the middle of a poker tourno and drinking I attempted some extended highlights, the first two minutes is just Simkin’s “injury” so should probably skip that. Thought it would be a good place to start considering the game changed from there. Editing a bit dodgy from the reasons mentioned :smiley:

Flapping all over the deck!

To put a different twist on things, I think we were more economical with the ball_et and waltzed past the County defence when we did have it. I don’t want to bhangra on about it, but we can can definitely win this league if we keep playing like that.

Clubs have seen this weakness and will try to exploit this. County tried and only got the delivery right twice. Simkin flapped and we survived.

We will have to get use to it. I trust our backroom staff are working on this.
