It’s taken us a month to turn Whitaker from a dangerous looking second striker playing right around the edge of the opposition box to a guy constantly dropping in to lose the ball in his own half.

We’ve had that result coming at home for months. Been dreadful again and again, was going to catch up with us eventually. Been through it a million times, but I would struggle to have any less faith that a manager is the right man to take us forward.

We made a big thing about partnering with the University of Nottingham and their world-leading facilities and scientific approach to this kind of thing last summer. The upshot has been that everyone is still injured all the time.

Slocombe must be doing damage to our average, surely he’s in his 50s by now.

If we go up, I would be very surprised if Langstaff wasn’t a Notts player again next season.

He’s a far bigger problem than the managers they’ve had. They’ve burnt through at least two clearly good League Two managers (and I think Williamson might still turn out to be good in the right place) since coming down. That squad is a total mess.

I think he might have enough credit in the bank still to for a decent League One job. But it’s a place he knows and there is potential there if you get it right, so I wouldn’t be surprised. The one thing I do miss with LW is his charisma and ability to get everyone going. Maynard is clearly a...

I would be sick.

Simply have to win this, would make a point yesterday an okay result.

Maynard is good at setting a team up from the start - we tend to dominate the first half, have our tactics right, and we’ve definitely not been ruthless enough with taking chances at one goal ahead to kill games off. He’s definitely quite bad at managing in-game and reacting to the momentum...

Pretty much our season in a game, so hard to know what to make of us. In the end it’s an okay result, neither great or a disaster. The lack of ruthlessness to just kill the game is what makes me think we’ve got no chance of doing this. We missed (well, Jatta) chance after chance to make it 2-0...

To be fair, with McGoldrick out we don’t have another striker to play. I think Traore is a late sub because of fitness rather than out of choice, but he’s been here nearly a month so is hopefully getting closer to being able to start games. Sounds like Jones will be back for this one anyway...

Still a bit early, isn’t it? We had a ridiculous run like Bradford/Vale/Grimsby’s current ones over Christmas, but have had a slight drop off on the back of a couple of injuries. It’s who can time that winning run through April that will settle it.

I’m going… 1. Walsall 2. Port Vale 3. Bradford 4. Notts 5. Wimbledon 6. Doncaster 7. Colchester Call me mad, but I reckon someone from mid-table goes on a run. I saw a table the other day from this time last year and Crawley were still in the bottom half, and Doncaster about sixth from bottom...

Grimsby can’t be paying anyone £6k a week, surely? That’s not far off double our highest earner and we hardly pay poverty wages at this level.

You just don’t see other teams enough of the other teams to be able to make a proper judgment. We’ve been pretty poor against Vale twice, so wouldn’t expect one of their fans to be that worried about us, while we have some sort of weird Indian sign over you lot at the minute and seem to hammer...

Chesterfield and Crewe are the ones I’m really looking at there. A point at Wimbledon would be a fantastic result with their home record, but home games against decent teams but ones a bit below you in the table are ones we have to find a way to win if we want top three.

I just think it’s going to be incredibly close for those two spots from five teams all the way through now. I don’t think there’s much to choose between any of us. Probably come down to who times a little run of wins right at the end of the season.

Yup, I agree. They’ve pretty much said that they want to give us a competitive budget for whatever division we’re in, but never one of the top ones because they’re playing a bit of a game of real life football manager and want to make that gap up with the recruitment. So we generally had around...

Mai Traore with as many assists as Dan Crowley has since leaving in his 52 minutes of English football so far. :animatedf:
