Match Day National League Fixtures - 20/02/21

[Soup Ladle]

Fucking buzzing, we are generally well off it at the moment but keep pulling these out the bag.

Joe Grey did great to set up the winner. What a prospect that lad is.

1-1 would've been totally fair and tbh I'd have settled for that as Yeovil look a better side than the one we beat at theirs earlier this season. Hard lines for them.

 

[MrGloverLover]

Silly mistakes cost us at least a point there.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

And now he gives them a pen which they score from - wonder how much was put in a brown envelope for him.

And to further add insult to injury a blatant red card challenge on MSH is only rewarded with a yellow and he makes MSH go off the pitch after getting treatment.

His mates have obviously made a packet at the bookies today.

 

[B2TF]

I guess that's what in Hollywood they would call, a turkey...... gobble gobble gobble...

 

[jacobncfc]

Almost like deliberately trying to turn every single game into a non-event with a couple of half chances for each team means you’ll eventually lose 1-0 rather than just win 1-0.

 

[OneDecentLester]

FT 0-1, perfect away display really!? In the faces in the first half, got the goal and then sat back and asked the question of Notts ‘can you break us down?’..

As others have said, Notts had all the ball second half but Grant Smith didn’t have a single save to make all game which summed it up for Notts really!

Onto Altrincham at home Tuesday, another tough game coming thick and fast!

 

[CFC91]

Very solid from us. Missed 3 absolute sitters second half which I’m glad haven’t come back to haunt us for once.

Onto Tuesday night

 

[chief]

Elliott Durrell is a disgrace isn't he? Looks like he polishes off a large Meateor from Dominos on a nightly basis.

 

[spireite]

That's a big result after coming out of another isolation. Night and day this squad to previous. So much more desire shown

 

[SpireiteDan]

Get in Town!!

Can't fault that performance after yet another isolation period. I think with a couple of games behind us we'd have won that more comfortably.

Just wish we could be there enjoying it in person.

 

[Stocky]

Get this tit from Brighton out. Absolutely shite we are. 1 goal in 5 games apparently.

 

[Wooderson]

Don’t know why we abandoned the previously success 4-2-3-1 for 442, would much rather have seen Rodrigues behind the striker than stuck on the wing, but he was another who was 5/10 at best today. So many poor balls, crosses out of play, set pieces that failed to clear the first man. Have to be much better at Stockport on Tues.

We aren’t going to get any better while we’ve got Doyle and Reeves slowly plodding around central midfield IMO.

I’d be interested to know what our owners are thinking. They’ve said lots that they’re more interesting in looking at the underlying data and trends rather than short term results and the table. It was proven right last season in the end when we’d started turning dominance into consistent wins before it ended, but what do you do now that our position in the table is okay but the performances/data underneath is basically horrible for everything other than defending and possession?

Yes. At least Roberts is back in training. We really miss his ability to make something from nothing.

 

[rudebwoyben]

Back to the norm for us. Having to constantly chase after the ball tires you out. Who’d a thunk it? You don’t need a team of sports scientists and analysts to work that one out.
Woking made far better use of the ball and held us off with some comfort. Glimmer of optimism gone.

 

[jacobncfc]

We do, and he’s great, but... we’ve got the luxury of Boldewijn and Rodrigues to choose from as well. Roberts will edge out number-of-bad-games-won-1-0 percentage even higher, but the approach is still going to be wrong.

 

[Optipez]

Chesterfield thoroughly deserved it. The defeat's been coming, all our weaknesses were again on show.
We created very little, gave the strikers nothing to work with and as regularly stated by many, Reeves and Doyle is not going to ever make a successful midfield.

 

[Soup Ladle]

I see we have the best home record in the league. That wouldn't be the case if we had the fans in.

 

[EnglishRed]

Null and Void the season.

They’re not in the same class imo, with a fully fit Roberts the games we’ve been winning 1-0 would be 2 or 3. Woolf too must be given a chance soon, surely.

They’re not, but only because of how good Roberts is. They’re both top players for this league.

Let’s be honest, he is simply not going to stop playing Doyle and Reeves together. I don’t even know why Wolfe is here or why Barnsley haven’t told us to do one.

No, me neither.

 

[Sestonpoolie]

Over the moon with that win,showed great character to come from one down,as we didn't play well at all.
Yoevil well worth a point ,there defence played well on the whole ,but we do seem to have the Indian sign over them.
Could have a massive bearing on our season that win.

 

[TheShayWay]

This is painful to watch. Hoof it up to 2 midgets straight back at us over and over again. We have no composure. No ability to pass and we have to be thankful to Torquay for scoring our goal because we certainly were not..

Only one with half a brain in our team is the right back and thats a problem.

Can I just remind you he was the one that gave away a needless penalty?

Agreed with the rest though, defended quite well overall but we are toothless in attack

Oh shut up, we're doing OK! We're away at the top of the League, and we've got 8 players out, what the fuck do you want?

To sign some players would be a good idea.

 

[B2TF]

To sign some players would be a good idea.

1. With what?
2. As you've had explained to you, by the boss himself, there been no point signing players when they don't know if the league is going to continue. You know that. Stop being a fucking moron.

I've never felt more like singing the blues...
