Come on Lads, would really love a comfortable win this season finally.

[Keith]

Video is a couple of minutes behind, not quite kicked off yet (3:02pm) but no commentary? Video only. Kicked off now.

[Keith]

on now!

[tim-sanchez]

I've seen a lot of people asking for Mandeville to play more centrally, and I've agreed, but he's done nothing today. Seems totally lost, especially on a day where we need a link between midfield and attack.

[Keith]

On a day when we were wanting... nay, DEMANDING a response after a pathetic game on Tuesday, we've had forty minutes of crap. Leitch-Smith very poor, Mandeville poor, Oliver not very good...

Come on, wake up.

[tim-sanchez]

Another dreadful first half, awful in the final third. Our tactic seems to just be cross it and hope, but most of our crosses are aimed at their men

[Westgate Wanderer]

The half time match was much more exciting, even got to see a goal!!!

[Keith]

Mandeville with a bit of a run and a shot from distance, on target. Better.

[cyprus-shrimp]

Keith's comments about Leitch-Smith, Mandeville, and Oliver sound as though they could apply to just about any of our recent performances. Surely time for JB to send out a really strong message by subbing all 3 at once. We have the likes of Thommo, Kev, Oswell and Piggott on the bench who could hardly do any worse than the above mentioned 3. Time for players who are prepared to run through a brick wall for MFC - not simply fancy-dans!!!

[BerlinWaller]

WTF?

[Keith]

Sat back,
Sat back,
Sat back,

Invite them on to us. Then we get caught out by a quick throw in.

Ellison on for Mandeville. Thommo on for Yarney

Unless Mandeville is carrying a knock, I'd have taken Leitch-Smith off. I'd also have taken Oliver off, not because he's not working hard or winning headers, but because the style isn't creating opportunities. If he's not going to be a goal scorer, he needs to be creating, either from knock downs to Ajay or Liam or making space for them. That's not happening, so change it.

[Keith]

Commentary went off a couple of minutes ago! Game hasn't got any better without the Chuckle Brothers!

[Freez]

Neither of us is dead, yet!!!

[Keith]

Glen was saying that we're getting in to their area more in this second half. But we've still only had one, long range shot on target in the entire game. This is against a team that has conceded an average of 2.44 goals in every away game this season (2.11 average over-all). We've not even managed that in shots on target.

How many shots on target v FGR? Two was it? Zero on Tuesday. That's three shots on target in three games with twenty minutes left.

[J.S.]

I couldn't afford to go today. I never thought I'd be happy to be broke.

[tim-sanchez]

Set pieces have been atrocious. How many times have we hit a red shirt? I think it's 0

[Potted Shrimp]

Why have we only started to attack after they scored? Always seems to be the same whenever I watch MFC at home. For £17 it's bloody awful to watch no wonder attendances are so poor.

[Keith]

Kenyon off for Oswell last ten minutes. Still only one shot on target.

[tim-sanchez]

Oliver can't start another match. I respect how much effort he puts in, but other than winning headers he offers nothing. His headers rarely even go to a Morecambe player, he might be better as a centre back!

[Keith]

Because they are sat deeper which is allowing us too. Still no shots & no idea. Their players are rolling around on the floor at every opportunity. Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful

[Zippy]

Groundhog Day

[Keith]

GET IN!

Kev sort of bundling it in after a corner!

[tim-sanchez]

Get in! Finally we get on the end of a cross and we've scored.

Probably deserved, we've been poor but Notts County have offered nothing all game. 5 attackers on the pitch now, let's get a winner.
