He needs a couple of starts with the proper team, but he seems to be suffering the same problem as Morias (minus the constant injuries) in that he’s a different kind of striker and we don’t adapt our game when he’s on. With Langstaff and now Jatta, we’re not really asking them to get involved in...

Yeah it happens depressingly frequently I think and clubs just sort it out between themselves. The police were filming a specific group off the train then again for the whole match so they’d definitely decided there was something up.

I didn’t see anything smashed up, the toilets were absolutely rank though, largely because it’s way too small down there for that number of people. Our concourse is the same mind by all accounts. There were definitely some clowns out. Whoever decided to set a smoke bomb off about three feet...

Harborough would be the dream draw for me - the mrs and her whole family is from there, including my little nephew who I’ve been indoctrinating into Notts this season. First time they’ve ever made the first round, very nice little town with a few decent pubs if anyone else happens to draw them.

It was the poorest game Crowley’s had all season, particularly the last half an hour. As you say it’s a fine line because a lot of the time he’ll take an extra touch or ignore an obvious pass and then two seconds later he’s turned and opened up the entire defence, but when it doesn’t come off...

There shouldn’t be any surprises - Wimbledon are another decent side who will set up exactly like Gillingham and Vale did with men behind the ball. I’d also go with two up top and Didzy coming in. We won’t need four midfielders to control the game. They seem a lot stronger at home than away so...

It was less that and more that they sold out the home end but got permission to open up some extra seats (guess front rows or something) so had to find us a few more from the segregation or they’d have got in trouble for not giving 10%, apparently.

I had a couple of pints of something for £2.50 at the Derby Tup. Was alright as well to be fair, local pale or something.

Yeah there’s too much creative burden on Crowley for us with Jones out and today was one of the days he decided to just keep doing Cruyff turns instead of actually crossing or shooting. I thought him and Dobra had similar games actually, obvious quality but didn’t do enough to actually impact it.

This is where we can find common ground, brother.

Now I’m not saying I’m the fucking oracle, but… Respect the nerds.

Nothing bad but he didn’t really stand out as a danger man to me, but obviously we have memories of the NL times when he was at the centre of anything in our games. I thought Madden was obviously your most dangerous forward while he was on and was also impressed by that Markanday. He’s the one...

Grimes isn’t good enough, same fuck up we made with retaining non-league players. If you’ve got a guy injured at centre back and you’re having to move your best midfielder out of position to cover rather than play him then what’s the point.

Yeah we had so many attacks down that side first half an hour, but it dried up after that. Dobra was surprisingly quiet, both in terms of creating stuff and just making himself the main character.

I thought we dominated the ten or fifteen mins up to your goal to go 2-1 up, but after that we never looked like getting back into it and you had enough half chances to kill it probably. One good pass and we were suddenly like four on four in your box in the 95th min when you’re defending a lead...

These early kick offs mate, it’s only half three, got to pace yourself.

Surely just shows we scored an equaliser right at the end, no? Flip those two goals round with us going 2-1 up and you lot would’ve rightly been exactly the same. It was a decent game between two quite good but fairly flawed teams. Hopefully we’ll both have some players back for the rematch but...

95th minute away equalisers when you’ve been on the beers since 9am? Fun IMO.

I thought both teams had spells in both halves to be honest, kind of went back and forward. Even in the first half they had a spell before half time when we were pinned right back, and us the same in the second in the ten or fifteen before their 2-1 goal. It must be one or English football’s...
