As a County fan. Notts & Mansfield are probably the best teams I’ve seen at Edgeley Park. You just need to tighten your defence up. Dave Chally did that for us and it was crucial for our title challenge. Don’t be too doom and gloom about it all. Ignore the rest of this season and start again for 24/25 season. Don’t forget you have only just come up to league 2. We have had games where we didn’t play well but seem to have managed to grind a win. Be more critical next season!

Great podcast as usual. I don't think the solution is simply to replace the defence though as I actually think that we have some great defenders and anyone brought in would have the same problems they do. Our defensive frailty is the price we pay for our attacking brilliance. I don't think of our wingbacks Jodi and Aaron as defenders but brilliant attackers. That means we usually have 3 defenders spread right across the pitch to create the opportunity to pass out of defense. When it works it looks brilliant, but in that system each defender is totally isolated so there's noone to help out if an error happens. I love watching Notts play as they do but I think that if you want a tighter defence you don't need new defenders, you need to play a system which is less about attack

We have to attack down the wings as we are generally too slow to play through the middle. As for recruiting a defence. When you only play three defenders they are going to have to be better than the general standard of league two defenders. Everybody else is playing with 4 or 5 defenders. But this obviously gives us the advantage further up the field which is why we score so many goals. The chance of us getting three quality league one defenders is almost none existent.

Little Caesars pizza in Top Valley next to the big Tesco is by far the best pizza. Only three restaurants in the whole country. Try it lads. Prices start at £5 for a decent size pizza

SCFC fan here. Notts are a good club and while this season may not have been as good as you might have hoped it wasn't a terrible season where you were in danger of relegation. Anyway, good luck for next season.

Great podcast lads as always. I thought your comments were spot on. Personally, after last seasons euphoria, I cant help feeling abit let down. One too many poor key decisions for my liking

I dont agree that if we recruited better defenders we would be promotion contenders. George said it near the start: Baldwin is actually a pretty good defender on his day. Jayden Warner was masively hyped and lead to nothing, and Macari is a very solid player. We have decent defenders for this level. I think it is down to systems and coaching. We basically play with only 3 defenders, Jodi and Nemane offer very little in defence, especially during transition. So we have a very exposed back line out of possession and in possession this back line is asked to play the ball more than any other team in the league. An awful lot is being asked of the back line and it is short sighted imo to blame all of the ills on those individuals. I'd rather we ditch the 3 at the back now we are in League 2, switch to a 4-3-3 with Nemane and Jodi on the wings, and then players like Maca, Crowley, Jatta, Palmer, Robbo, Scott as the "spine". Have Macari and Kyle play full back but rarely overlap, keep Baldwin and sign a League One level centre back and Goalkeeper.

Guys, why are you making this harder than what it is. You need two quality center backs, and a solid holding midfielder. It’s not cheap, but it’s what it’s going to take. Next year L2 should be not as competitive at the top. You’re loosing 2 heavy payroll teams, only one coming up and 2 moderate teams coming down. Mk and Crewe will be at the top, neither will go up this year. IMO Doncaster is the team to beat. Get Maynard a budget to work with. May have to sell langstaff to build it out but you don’t need him when you have a team with as many holes as Notts have. Use the $$ and fill out the holes.

It was not good to go in 3-0 down at half time

We are safe. Nothing to play for now so might as well tinker with formation for the remaining games. Jatta, Robertson and Macari to start (if they are fit). I think Robertson should have started against Stockport. Sanderson has been playing for the B team. Not seen Tobi and Morias for ages, not sure what’s going on with them two.
