This is surely the most dispiriting promotion chase of all time? Doesn’t seem to matter how many games we lose, we’re still always within a win of the top three. Whoever it is are surely going to be the worse set of teams ever promoted to League One.

I cannot stress enough how much we need Stuart Maynard to stop being our manager. In keeping with our season we were quite good for one half and should’ve been at least a goal ahead at the break, and then came out for the second with zero urgency or intensity whatsoever. In the end can’t...

Us against Ches should be a decent game tomorrow. Always is really. We bounced back well from a couple of horror shows with a really hard working performance at Grimsby, but realistically we are still likely going to be missing our difference-making attacking quality. Probably get half an hour...

Jatta has been called up for Gambia but no one else from our side, so will be down to you guys either way.

I thought it was a comment on the relative low quality at the top of the division this season, which is kind of fair enough. It’s making for a very even and exciting season, but I don’t think anyone would be able to properly compete a league up without significantly improving their team. It’s...

It’s McGoldrick on his own really - had a quick look and he’s been able to start 20 of our 36 games, in which we’ve picked up 43 of our 61 points. So 2.2 PPG with him starting and 1 PPG without him starting or there abouts. Extrapolate that out to the current table and it’s the difference...

Our results are fairly consistent this season in terms of who we have available. When we have McGoldrick and Jones fit we’re a title winning side. With one of them we’re pretty good. With neither of them we’re a very average bottom half team.

We were awful first half but I never felt massively worried that we were going to concede, even with our comedy goalkeeper suddenly pressed into action. Second half I thought we took control of territory and chances if not possession and just about deserved it in the end. Kind of pointless to...

I thought you were really, really bad. We weren’t much better until McGoldrick came on and looked like he was playing with 21 children, but it wasn’t a great advert for the division if those are two of the better teams in it. State of the pitch doesn’t help obviously, but still.

Absolutely fucking fantastic this, this is what we want and what would stop them getting so much stick if we could do it regularly. Standard of football has been miles off what we’re capable off but they’ve run themselves into the ground and had the better of it pretty much through that alone...

You could call this Notts vs Grimsby game a YouTube all stars match, play it at Wembley, and make millions. A horrible but kind of compelling game to watch.

Can’t see any way we would get to three - Jatta might get a Gambia call up, but Jones seems to have decided he doesn’t want to play for Malta any more (and might still be injured anyway) and Traore has never had a call up for Guinea. Abbott could get one for one of the England youth sides with...

No chance of either starting I don’t think. Bench maybe. We’ve been terrible recently but we are bizarrely streaky this season. Either in title winning or bottom third form at any given time. We were horrendous on Saturday, but last time we were that bad we suddenly went on a mad winning run...

We could be back - McGoldrick is alive again and we’ve wheeled him out for an interview after our worst performance of the season. Last time that happened we won about ten in a row. Our version of panic button.

I am quite happy to write this season off if it means we can get rid of Maynard. A genuinely terrible manager.
