I would have liked Jarvis to come on for MacDonald, put Bedeau back into defence and would have had Hinchy on for Edwards sooner and pushed Abbott up. Either Vale have gone backwards since the Autumn or we've improved but I thought they were there for the taking last night.
I really think...
Notts were too timid in making changes in the second half. It's gone now but Vale were not particularly good either half but Maynard just let them take control and at L2 defenders make mistakes and we did.
Fair play to Vale, they've done us for 6pts, deserved the win at ours and if you don't...
Bedeau will be a sort of left wingback. He finished there against Morecambe last ten minutes.
Definitely not our strongest team. Big test of character tonight.
I think it's an enormous blow. Loads of clubs use data analysis but you still need an eye for a player and Richard Montague has made a huge amount of good calls.
You've got more faith in Notts than me! We're doing really well but we've not suddenly become Barcelona.
There's just 5pts between second and eighth, very tight.
I don't think we've lost a game we've scored first in this season and if we do edge in front and teams have to open up we do tend to...
Tough game for us but if McGoldrick is fit it would be a big boost. Whittaker is looking a real find based on a tiny sample of two games and we've quietly added depth to the squad, the bench just gives us options now we didn't have in the Autumn.
I think the top three will come from the top eight now. From Grimsby down you're asking teams to pick up a minimum of 7pts extra from 16 games against teams that aren't losing many at all. A couple of teams may well falter but not all eight.
Playoffs look possible for loads of teams still if...
We aren't really settled, lots of injuries and changes, have been all season, except for the defence which has been pretty settled.
It would be a great win if we manage it but I'm not confident. Would take a point now.
Deserved but hard fought win. Hope Morecambe go down because they were dirty fuckers today. They purposely set up to kick us off the park and the most atrocious ref we've had in years let them.
The refs first job is to keep the players safe and he failed at that today. Jones kicked off the...
Would you want him at Notts? I wouldnt, he's left every club in as crap a position as when he started. Wales, Stoke, Southampton, Man City, Blackburn , Bradford. No success anywhere and always dull football.
Good luck to Carlisle , hope he keeps you up but looking from afar it looks like you've...
He's been a drag anchor everywhere he's been.
Dean Brennan at Barnet would be a good shout I think. He took over a mess at Barnet and held them together and has moved them forwards.
He might keep you up but he has the know how to stabilise you if you go down.
Agree. If your owner isn't fully engaged the club is basically rudderless. Mark Palios sounds like he's unable to give Tranmere his full attention and they look to be going down in poor shape overall.
It's a dogfight in the NL and you've got to be in good shape from top to bottom to get out of...
I've never been quite as fond of Crowley as others. There's definite faults in his game and unlike most of our squad he's really only suited to one very specific role. Grant and Whittaker look to be adequate cover and Whittaker may prove to be an upgrade. Certainly had a good game on Saturday.
