Because we don’t agree with anything you’ve told us, so we decided to show some pride and just do what we want. Right. So players not to blame at all.

But they're playing for a manager who takes no responsibility whatsoever. If the manager won't take responsibility why would the players?

steveecky Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Does anybody else think that if we had a quicker back 4, we could defend higher up and not leave such big gaps between defence, midfield and the forward(s). County players just walked into the space in front of the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penrhyn Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Those were Notts Counties results not ours . We need to strenghen the midfield and not rely on young loanees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said if the players don’t like sitting back show some pride and get stuck in. But it doesn’t work like that does it. They are playing to a shape/formation/ and tactics that has been given to them by the manager. They can’t just go awol and do what they want. Well, they can but they won’t play the following week.

It's not just the Notts County loss is it though, penrhyn? You could pick out many games where we have been utterly atrocious; and some against very poor sides indeed.

If it were me I'd give young Sutton a chance, preferably at centre back for Hogan who doesnt look right after his long term injury, but he could play right back providing he has a good winger in front of him. If we could get young Carragher back alongside Sutton that could make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penrhyn Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 To me we need to strengthen the midfield and a right back. . Think Gardner is finished he was resposible for 2 goals today .The other two goals came from Sherons side he is not a full back . He got skinned by their centre back Cameron although he crossed for Nuttalls goal, I think he would be better in midfield.Notts looked a really good side , Matty Palmer had a good game never gave the ball away always in space . We looked to be devoid of bite , guile, quality, and work in midfield. Thats the problem area again, we are inviting too much pressure on the defence.

hr1981 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Notts fan here. Always had a soft spot for Oldham as seen you guys as a similar team to us, similar size crowds and both fallen from the top flight. Onto today. The best way I can sum it up is that Notts fans felt sorry for you guys, no team wants fans to feel pity for them. We are a few years ahead of you guys really but also lucky we have never had a season finishing below 6th in this league. You did play with 2 up front and I do think you've got goals in the team the issue is the midfield. There is no passion or fight. At times it was like watching a testimonial and people round me were chatting like we were at a pre season friendly. Fingers crossed after new year you guys get out of this mess otherwise I'm sure your new owner will stick with you and you will be back - Stockport dropped to NLN and have come back from it but I wouldn't think it's an easy journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 3 hours ago, TheBigDog said: Yet another Unsworth masterclass today. The way we were setup, with five at the back and players who seemed more preoccupied with maintaining their shape than playing football, was our downfall. The team has to shoulder a lot of the blame but the players were simply afraid to play and a lack of confidence was evident throughout. Unsworth doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing and reacted far too late in changing things. Notts County were toying with us for most of the match and it was a thoroughly depressing watch. The only other positive, apart from Nuttall, was the Navigation - top top pub Correct Notts knew how we'd set up and played accordingly, Matt Palmer dropped in and started everything off, they overloaded the midfield and we just couldn't compete, when we did have the ball they moved incredibly quickly to win it back or we gave it them back through lack of quality, likes of Gardner and Maynard don't look arsed, Chapman has lost all enthusiasm and Peck is largely anonymous, why he turns to Couto is baffling he'd struggle to catch at Curzon and isn't even a midfielder. One player we have on the books who we could play through and attempt to link play is out on loan, we don't have a right back, need someone like Bostock in midfield who was only a sub today for County, have half a dozen strikers yet played a fucking useless 5-3-1-1 which killed Tollit and isolated Nuttall who showed glimpses to be fair, this 4-3-3 he talks about is bullshit, County played two at the back at times because they know Unsworth is fucking negative and wanted to keep the game tight, if we start today with Reid, Nuttall and Abraham up front we give them something to think about but they just strolled around taking the piss. Out of those that started today only Kitching, Nuttall and Reid come out with any sort of credit the rest just weren't good enough and in some cases embarrassing, I think Unsworth knows he's safe otherwise he wouldn't have this air of arrogance and total lack of self awareness about him, I dislike him because he lacks basic principles I'd like to see in any manager and he talks shite, constantly and blames anyone but himself, not sure of the sense in keeping him given it appears his own players can't even be arsed running for him or following basic instructions. What a fucking mess this flawed recruitment process has thrown up, I'm pretty sure if Manchester Cabins employed such an incompetent manager the Rothwells would not hesitate to make the right business decision particularly when the mistakes made run into thousands of pounds, isn't it strange that football seems to support these types and clubs continue to throw good money after bad to get out of holes, it invariably ends in tears and I fear so on this occasion.

Sloshed Joe Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Bit odd that Abraham wasn’t even on the bench given that he’d scored his first league goal (and the winner) in our previous league match. And this new keeper appears on the bench again. Was he not allowed to play in the FA competition? I bet Letweiller is pissed off saving 3 pens then completely dropped.

Summerdeep Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 LOL, last time I saw Notts County they had Needham, Masson and Carlin in their side (Boundary Park, March 1973) - managed by Jimmy Sirrel, an awesome era for both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham(s) was puzzling tho, hopefully he isnt going anywhere. four decent centre forwards on the books, 5 if you include Porter. which l don't bc he is a crock.
