He's right on the cusp, the season could go either way. He's had injuries and lost two key players in the summer so he's not had it all his way. Maynard also has us much better defensively and we are right in the mix. It's just doesn't feel like we have the momentum of a promotion run going but...

I worry that he won't ever get a promotion winning run going, sort of four wins on the bounce form which you have to do at some point in the season to go up.

I didn't watch the game today and Peterborough away was a hard draw. But, Maynard has no goodwill in the bank so every mistake he makes heaps the pressure in him. I said last week he's working up to the sack and unless he gets a winning run going very soon I think it's inevitable.

As I said the table looks healthy and I'm sure our possession and XG says we were unlucky today but it looked a lot like Burchnall ball today. I'm not demanding his head or even want him gone, I hope he succeeds, I just have a feeling he's not going to last much longer.

There's no pressure from me, I just think he's been a mid table manager since he's been here and today was poor and that the Bros will move on from him quite soon if we don't get a sequence of wins going. It just felt like he'd ran out of ideas today.

I can, they sacked Ardley out of the blue. Joe Palmer ( chief exec) said at the fans forum promotion was the aim and his demeanour was that it was pretty much expected. The league table looks pretty healthy but we were decent against Harrogage, had a good half against Doncaster but apart from...

Maynard is heading for the sack. One home win in four, two wins in ten. There's enough talent in that starting eleven to beat Newport and we didn't. Tired of excuses, we're underperforming.

Forest fans tend to belittle Notts but on the occasions when we've beaten them, many years ago now, they weren't at all happy. We were rivals, derbies were big deals but our collapse over the last thirty years has diminished it.

We've had a tough run of fixtures and key players missing but, no excuses, we need a win against Newport. Hats off to Accrington, hell of a turn around in form. They looked awful against us earlier in the season, no class at all and I thought they'd end up comfortably bottom two.

A fit squad with one half decent striker addition who can stretch a defence and we will go close this season. We had a poor team out yesterday in our forward areas and looked toothless but we aren't toothless with important players back and they're all back in some kind of training now.

Deserved to lose today, we worked hard but we just didn't have enough creativity to go to a top six L2 side and earn a point. Penalty decision was a shocker I was at the other end and could see he slipped and on slow motion replay he slipped, just a crap decision. At 1 -0 you have a chance, two...

Fair enough Viking, I'm not slagging him off, we were crying out for him to hold the ball for us the last twenty minutes at Doncaster but I think Palmer and Abbott look undroppable in the middle and Jevani Brown looks like he's ready to take off now he's settled and match fit. We played a box...

I'm not so sure. I'd have him all day long as a no 10 like last year but anywhere else he flatters to deceive, holding on to the ball too long and giving opposition all the time they need to get two banks of four behind the ball. Undoubtedly a talented footballer but apart from last season he's...

Short sighted by the clubs. Attendances are going up and more TV is an impediment to that and any money from the deal will likely just inflate wage bills across the division.

I agree with you on that. There comes a point where it he's getting blamed for losses he deserves some credit for having us up to third and playing pretty well at the moment. No idea why he didn't use a couple of subs on Saturday though, it was crying out for fresh legs after Donny put their...

If we get something here it will be a hurdle cleared with the players we have missing. Seems a long time since we've had our strongest squad to pick from.

I think you're right. Hold on to Jatta and Bass, get in another no 9 as cover and we've every chance of playoffs as a minimum. The extra striker doesn't have to be fantastic but be able to hold the ball up and run his legs off pressing defenders, chipping in a few on the way. We've been spoiled...

We should have put some subs on but Tsaroulla was absolutely knackered on 70 and Gordon was having a moderate game so they'd have been the ones I'd take off. Surely Crowley and Martin could manage 15 minutes. Very strange bit of management by Maynard.

Peterborough away. Not a kind draw but not far to travel I suppose. I'd be very surprised if we're in the hat for the third round.
