Todays line up:

Genuine question with no digs at all. Did Westbrooke do enough to keep his starting place? I didn't think he had a bad game against Mansfield but I didn't really see anything that stood out.
Like I say, genuine question as some may have paid a bit more attention.
Edit; currently sinking beers in a bar in Rhodes so updates would be most appreciated
-
Will Westbrooke be in the centre three in place of Broadbent if we play 433 will be interesting what we play.
-
Westbrooke the only one with any real creativity

I’d have thought that Rowe will drop deeper to where Broadbent has been playing and either Westbrooke will play as the most advanced of the midfield 3, or Moly will drop inside and Westbrooke will carry on out wide.
Broadbent definitely deserves to be benched more than Westbrooke, but feels like it could impact our midfield balance negatively by replacing him with a winger and then reshuffling.
-
BBC has it as a 4-2-3-1
-
Doesn't sound like a classic yet...
-

Yes and the back line is bypassing him by kicking it long virtually every time, with the wind behind and being overhit continuously.

20
Mins in the pies have the possession upper hand

Because they are trying to play football rather than belting it long like us.

Growing into the game now we've decided not boot it out every 4 seconds
-
Piss
-
Langstaff
-
0-1 Defence flat footed again.
-
0-1. County have had 3 bookings already
-
Back to the bottom of the league
-
Goal from a freekick situation that the commentators didn't think was a free kick :(
-
We’ve been pretty poor so far this half.
-
Anyone thinks Olowu is a world beater wants their head testing. Awful player, awful defender.
-
I dont see what people see in him either, yes he improved since we first got him but he makes far to many mistakes
-

He gives me the willies every time he gets the ball.
-
This is awful. We’ve no idea in midfield. None.
This can’t continue or I fear the worst this season.
-
Wrexham getting hammered...
-
Need major changes at half time as this is awful.
-
Sounds absolutely dire. I didn't expect instant results, but our start to the season is concerning.
-
Awful. We’ve got problems.
-
Early days but starting to feel like we’ve sign a load of players and managed to not improve much.
-
I thought til they scored we were on top and mostly in control. We've looked a bit lost since that point.
There's plenty of potential in this team. We've got in some good areas but the final ball has been awful.
-
Oh and I still think Richard wood doesn't fit this team. He can't pass, barely wins a header and runs in treacle.
-
HT. We’ve made it far too easy for Notts. Need to get moving the ball much quicker and far more accurately. We’ve looked lethargic and lacking in any sort of rythm in possession.
-
Are we just blind to Jon Taylor being injured, it's such a regular occurrence.. it doesn't even get mentioned anymore?
-
Not a fan of these tactics. Should be playing 3 5 2attacking wingbacks not 1 up front
-

not improve much, mcsheffreys side was light years ahead of this team in terms of gaining points whilst playing shite...
-
Poor. We’ve got nothing in midfield or attack. Sotona and Faal on surely?
-

Agree. Far too reminiscent of last season with the sole front man ploughing a lonely furrow.
-

You're right - I didn't realise he was playing..... :whistle:
-
Notts county seem to be playing a come and get it game and then hoping they can break through, doing it better than Hull. Rovers need to get at them in midfield and apply pressure, Bostock will get himself sent off and then Rovers can exploit the gap.
-
interesting half ahead , another -
McSheffrey / Schofield " game over ' , or an improvement and at least get a draw?
-
0-2
-
Game over
-
2-0 down, game over?
-
Zero shots on target doesn't win you games.
-
He should have subbed Olowu at HT too !
-
2-0 down, game over?
Yeah not good enough miles off the place as bad as anything from the last few years.
Could be another 4-0
-
We're in a battle.
-
Where is Lawlor for these crosses?
-
County now play total possession football which Rovers will do nothing about, they don't have ball winners.
-
We got the majority of our signings in early. What have we been working on since?
-
He should have subbed Olowu at HT too !
Yep,he has stood and watched both goals despite being in a position to challenge/tackle,very poor from a defender.
-
3 now, hopeless.
-
0-3 I’m lost for words on the defending. A total shambles.
-
Piss poor. Pathetic yet again.
-
Where is Lawlor for these crosses?
And again
-
No change from Lawlor, vampire goalie. Terrified of crosses.
-
Training game for Notts County
-
If it weren’t for lawlor we’d have been spanked in every game
-
Beyond embarrassing.
-
Can’t imagine what TB will be thinking probably what a waste of money
-
If it weren’t for lawlor we’d have been spanked in every game
Well, we've been spanked in half of them!
-
Luckily the only way is up....
-
We’re far too easy to play against. The midfield is non existent. They’ve got the freedom of the pitch.
-
Error upon error.
-
Why is it we can see the midfield needs sorting (at least 3 seasons) but those who run the club can’t
-
It's looking like GM has got some of his recruitment wrong.
-

Grant has been given free reign to go and get 10+ new players in - blame lies with him.
-

Good one! Only in the Hull game we haven't been "spanked"! It's just that Harrogate are a poor side that stopped us losing heavier in that game.
-
Can’t imagine what TB will be thinking probably what a waste of money
He’ll not be thinking that, cause he’s got half a brain.
There’s 46 games over a season, he’ll trust mccann to get us where we need to be by May.
Stockport started like this last season and ended up in the play offs
-

Well, we've been spanked in half of them!
Should have had a leather corset, leather shorts, chains and a ball gag as our kit this season.
-
Not a single shot on target, you don’t win games like that!

Stockport lost a few games by a 1 goal margin and were scoring goals. They weren’t getting spanked 3/4 nil every game.
-
76 first shot on target
-

76 minutes in before our first.
-
76 minutes for the first shot on target, there are so many indicators of a team with no product here. It will be a very long season unless GM gets hold and the players actually listen to him.
-
Need to stop putting the limelight on the players alone, the recruitment is pathetic, completely pathetic. Weve signed a bunch of non league players, has beens and players who turn slower than milk. This so called budget wont be enough to even keep us in the football league.
-
I fear we may need to go back into the transfer market. We look shocking in more than one position. The subsequent issue is that we already have a fairly big squad.
-
Awful everywhere
-
Do we just need to turn the club off and back on again?
Could be worst though - Sheff Weds :lol:
-
Bad day at the office today but some posters need to get a grip on reality. Anyone who thought that GM would turn things around in 4-5 games is simply deluded. Time for some patience.
-
Harrogate was just a bad day at the office. Newport was just a bad day at the office. Need to start having some good days at some point.

That’s absolute nonsense.
Anyone who has a clue can see the players we’ve signed are improvements individually but the team isn’t working and with 10 new signings that’s no shock.
I’ve still every confidence we will be in the top 10 by Xmas ready to push on

Exactly
Full of clueless idiots

Of course. But do you think things will turn around overnight?

Don't think people thought we would be brilliant but wouldn't of expected it to be this bad. 4 games, 3 losses, 1 draw. 2 goals for and 10 against. And 3 of those games were at home.
Mk dons next and then Everton.
-
Nobody expected this bad start but it’s not a disaster. 42 games to go

Comeback on the shots on target stat has to be worth something?
-
Yay!!!!!!!!!
-
Grants now got a week to work with the players. Midfield needs to be looked at can’t say today as I’m not there . I believe need to recruit a more experienced midfield player. Let’s Close is available as well to work on the midfield. The players confidence will be low now we take steps to show an improvement. I’m not blaming any body let’s see how we go

Hang on a minute.... do you really believe we expect to have 4 wins on the board right now? What we/I expect is immediate improvement. We are still getting thrashed comfortably.

And only a few days ago we were celebrating beating, and outplaying, a decent Hull team!!

You have no clue. Zero clue at that. Refuse to admit whats infront of you. Oh dear.

We’ve signed 10 new players, most teams that do that struggle to start with.
You were moaning after 1 game, just get a grip and realise we have a long season ahead

But grant did say that he would of given that up for 3 points in the league, which hasn't happened.
The position we are in we need to be a good league team and not a good cup team
-
There’s 4 games gone,
I don’t understand how stupid people are, 42 games to go
-
I'm with dickos we aren't that bad, we just aren't yet a team. I still see big potential but with that still some big worries, namely the defence.

You say that with the little knowledge you have that there is a good chance we will get better. Thats pretty much obvious. Its like saying we are 23rd now but if we finish 22nd you will be saying your blinkered opinion stands. Pathetic.

Perhaps take a moment away from from the website. You've been calling people stupid, thick, clowns etc. for having the audacity to have a different opinion to you. You're coming across a little weird.

What’s pathetic is going on about league positions after 4 games.
It’s all the same old people who moan every season, whoever the manager is, that’s what’s pathetic

It’s not an opinion!
Talking about league table positions after 4 games is a nonsense,
