Notts County v Swindon Town Match Day Thread

[Nomoreheroes]

Holloway:
- Learned how goot Notyts Co were. And how practice makes perfect
- We did stop them at times. We broke them down. We didn't have the edge up top
- Not like Holloway's forwards. Probably due to them dominating possession
- McGoldrick could have graced 2 or more levels above
- We did some things really well, but didn't capitalise on it
- Smith wanted to play. Holloway didnt feel it was right. Will get him on the grass to train
- We didnt do anything in the final 1/3
- Expected us to counter attack
- Those 'might ofs' cost us today
- Lots of is was 'OK'. Lots was right. But once we won it, we weren't sharp enough
- A bit disappointing
- Barden got 'kicked in the face'. Wasn't concussion. So doesn't have to be out for 2 weeks
- Well done to Notts Co. One day we might be saying that about Holloway's team
- Glad to get this period out of the way. But this game spoiled it a bit
- Not that disappointed. We move on
- We were playing like we had Smith. We needed to play out a bit more
- Changed it from a 5 to a 4 in the second half. Should ghave started that way, but didn't, as they didn't have chance to practice it in training
- If we had McGoldrick, then we could have scored a couple today
- He's a Notts Co fan? Maybe we should roll out Charlie Austin (said in jest)
- Almost everything we tried didn't come off
- More than happy with the period we've had. Move on.

 outclassed today .  If we continue to grind out decent results against other less able sides, a 20th place finish is realistic . Lots of teams with games in hand though.

Have played two more away than at home, so my guess is 18th which would be above the Clem Line.

8 points from the 5 games is an ok return.

Losing at Notts County isn’t a disaster, but today shows how much we miss Smith up front.

Holloway has done a lot right in the last few weeks, today he got it wrong. I’m sure he will learn from it & hopefully not make the same mistake again.

I make it 4 wins in our last 37 away league games

3 away games in 10 days, still 640 of us for a 12:30 game 3 hours away on the TV.

I don’t mind Tranmere beating Carlisle. The further we can get away from the bottom two the better.

And now Harrogate

Don't mind Colchester losing at home at the Jobsworth stadium.

That’s good, isnt it?

Tranmere have been in freefall lately so no and Carlisle are spending money and we probably can't rely on them being the same team come Feb 1st.

Accrington are closer to us than Colchester who would feasibly get dragged in to it, although their fans still think they're nailed on for the play offs.

Agree it's not disastrous as we've had a decent run, but it puts us exactly where we were when Holloway took over,22nd 4 points off the drop.
To be honest, I thought he had learned that 3 up top doesn't work for us, but apparently not

Back to 22nd with a crash.
