[Martin Shaw]

detailed report now on

[geoffhill]

Do the Macca doubters still not think he is not good enough.The names of all the sceptics are on my list.I won't name them as theyknow who they are.Well done today Macca and the rest of the team whoshowed what they can do under a 'proper manager'.

I’m sorry but one swallow etc.
I love Maccas determination and effort but same as Bishop we need something more if we are looking at getting promoted

They're what we have at the minute, but after today they've shown that they can do it but we need to find some consistency and hopefully go on a bit of a run now.

Think we might see one or two more faces in or out. Wouldn't be surprised if Mellis leaves and we replace him.

Macca has shown improvement over the past 3 games, same as the rest of them. He was trying fancy passes and his version of tackling was to barge into players.

Macca had his best game for us yesterday. Could it be due to a run in the side in his preferred position? Or perhaps because he stayed out on the right wing instead of drifting inside exposing the full back.

We are at the stage now where our problem appears to be a fitness and application issue, not ability. So all players under performed. We can only comment on what we see. I saw Macca hindering and not helping for 80% of the games in the first half of the a season. This, in hindsight, would likely be down to him being a CM in a 3-5-2, RM in a 4-4-2 and a CM in a 4-4-2 at any given moment.

Cook made a brilliant tackle towards the en of the game, for a player not blessed with pace, to track back 40 yards after losing the ball to execute a perfect tackle nicey summed up the attitude of the whole team yesterday.

The fiest time this season I've enjoyed a game from start to finish. Long may that continue.

I also noticed that when the half time whistle went the majority of the players ran to the Changing rooms . Previously they went back as if they were taking the dog for a Sunday morning stroll . May be overthinking it but we thought they were under instructions to get back and make the most of the break , update tactics etc .

[Conker]

Still feels great after walking away from Field Mill after a proper complete performance.

We should not get carried away but yesterday proves GC management is working, he’s not going to get them up to his fitness standard until next season now but what a improvement.

He's still not playing as an out and out winger though. In his own interview he referred to 'the front three' of Rose, Maynard and CJ. Also GC referred to his formation as being interchangeable.

[Tippy Tappy Football]

I'm going for Mal Benning and Krystian Pearce as Man of the Match. Mal Benning was my MOM in the first half and Krystian Pearce was superb throughout. Back to his old self. It was really hard to pick a MOM and I can understand why some fans chose Alex MacDonald or Danny Rose. Neal Bishop was also back to his best yesterday.

Krystian Pearce 8.5
Mal Benning 8.5
Alex MacDonald 8
Danny Rose 8
Neal Bishop 8
Nicky Maynard 7.5
Ryan Sweeney 7.5
CJ Hamilton 7
Joe Riley 7
Harry Charsley 7
Bobby Olejnik 7

You can't have two "man of the match". Which one will you pick?
It is a difficult one though. I think that MacDonald had a similar match to the previous two home games; he won a deserved MOTM for one of them and was top of the relevant stats for both. He did what he normally does, tackling in defence, blocking and tackling in midfield, intercepting any sloppy passes, moving the ball forward, passing short or long, taking decent corners, moving wide, and finding gaps in the middle. All at 100%. This time he also added a superb pinpoint cross for Rose's goal. He does make mistakes from time to time but never gives up or tries to hide. The others were all good, and I was particularly pleased to see Pearce back to his best. But there's only one MOTM award and it has to go to Macca.

Just a quick question, can you no longer watch the full game back on ifollow? cant find the full 90 anywhere

it's there. Go to latest videos or video archive and it is the sixth video listed.

update - scratch that, the link is there, but it's not working. I'll report it and see if it can be fixed.

[lifestags]

The players were shocked with the reaction of the fans at half time (in a positive sense this time) you could see their confidence growing with every tackle. Hope they realise now that it's not just attacking play that gets fans off their feet, it was like we scored a goal when macca made that tackle in front of dugouts.

Criticising a player when they're incredibly poor doesn't make you a doubter fgs... Hes one of our squad and will always get support on a match day but will also be singled out like most of the squad this season when they've been cack..

He was brilliant yesterday and we need that from him every week. He knows he can do it, up to him now to keep it going.. Well gone Alex

[Tippy Tappy Football]

I originally had four MOM's Bradders. It took me half an hour to whittle it down to two

It was the best team performance of the season yesterday.

Is still doesn't work for me. Sods law, for most of the season its worked fine for me and we get a good result/ play way then it doesn't work!

If I log in via the webpage it doesn't give me the option to view the replay for the game and if I load-up the app it says that I can't watch it due to location.

[Martin Shaw]

for anyone interested, I was on Radio Nottingham before the game against Bradford yesterday:

[cerfjaune]

The fact that no-one has made a comment about the referee speaks volumes. I read that this is his first season in the FL. I expect him to go far.
