Thanks Notts. County for being worse than us. Any one listen to the game or was it on local TV ? Played today in front of 2000 people with a referee called T Kettle, guess that tells you what sort of day it was going to be.
From my end getting bits and pieces of it, it seemed we were played off the park, how did the four transfer listed players do ?
Not in panic mode yet but kind of disappointed, still without the 10 point deduction guess Coventry would be in the top half dozen playing for promotion. When do the easy games get here?

I listened to the game,and by the time I had sat down we were 1-0 down! The response did sound good as Linganzi,and Cody came close to equalising.Cody did then equalise and after that it could have been 3-3 or 5-5 by Half-time.The second half was not great to listen to,I don`t remember a chance for us in the second half and Coventry seemed the only ones who would score which they did.

Another defeat for us,and we`re nearly at the 10 game mark to get a good idea of what is happening.We really need a win on Saturday at home.

I just don't know what to think, we appeared to have been played off the park in just about every game, but still have 3 draws against opposition at our end of the table,have been beaten by Wolves and Coventry two teams I think will go up this year and a couple of wins for us, a couple of losses for a few others and we could be banging on the door of the top ten.
In the same breath, a couple of bad results and say a draw in the next three and I think then the Titanic known as GFC will be heading for the iceberg.

Not sure what game the radio commentator(s) were watching because it wasn't the same game I saw yesterday; could easily have been 3-1 by half time and certainly double that at full-time

They did keep saying it could have been 3-3 atleast,but also did a huge amount of waffling as usual.But I do take their coverage with a pinch of salt most times.

Peter Lloyd said after 12 minutes we could be 3-1 ahead with Cody and Linganzi going close before Cody scored the equaliser. I thought playing Kedwell deep as a midfielder would work but only in with attacking wide men. To then take Cody off and replace with a midfielder almost sounded like a 4-6-0 formation or at least with Kedwell up front on his own and we all know how that works out! I would have been happy to take the draw but it was suicide to sit back so much, and against a side that seem so vulnerable to conceding goals. Had we attacked maybe we might have got the winner instead. At least losing when trying to win a game would have felt better!

I don't remember us having a chance in the second half,it did feel like we was after a draw.I do think Cody should play every game if fit.Goalscorers tend to do well with a run of games.Cody is more likely than anyone to grab a goal in my opinion.Like you Gary I do wish we attacked and went for the winner,rather than sitting back and conceding anyway.
