MATCH REACTION - Crawley Town 2- 1 Notts County

The less said the better...

[@torquayutdreacts]

Boys I feel for you. I can’t believe how your seasons spiralled like this

[@brianfoster1078]

George, season is far from over, both FGR and Grimsby both won tonight, that gap to the relegation places is narrowing.

[@johnparnham5945]

I don't agree that our performance was bad. think that it was a decent performance but we were unfortunate in the last part of the match. The game changed when Robertson was sent off.

[@AndrewJohnson-on7oh]

You can't compare last season and this season. The gulf in quality is massive. Non league top division has 10% good teams, and 90% poor teams. League 2 has 10% poor teams and 90% good teams. Non of Notts County's keepers or defenders would make an upper league 2 team. The whole squad is no better than bottom 6/8 in league 2 as a full squad.

[@martinshipley7670]

I think we played well tonight, especially in the first half. Yes Crawley had shots on our goal and Slocombe had saves to make, but that's what he's there for. The owners will not sack Maynard so forget that one. We see the season out, hopefully with a few players returning from injury, and finish mid-table. Nothing wrong with that first season back in the EFL.

[@SouthwestTee62]

100% if we got promoted we’d come straight back down. League 1 is too good for us. We need to start preparing for life in league 2 next season

[@jamesmoore8624]

Are you on this planet even talking about Promotion ??

[@The_Boy_Gosling]

League Two is too good for us right now

[@antz8462]

What an absolute F UP of an appointment this has been. I concur with everyone else, Maynard hasn't got it in him to motivate these players nor has the experience and ability to take this team forward. The sooner he his sacked, the better!

[@Hartley_Hare]

We're going to get relegated. All the work, the joy and the hope of last season has come to this. When Maynard goes, let me know, because I don't want to be around to watch this.

[@davidmiddleton6479]

Notts didn’t invest enough on the backline and a solid defensive midfielder. This isn’t on Maynard. Play out the string.

[@jamesmoore8624]

Whats maddening about tonight is we were the better team for most of the game and Slocombe played a worldie - then we throw it all away. I cant see the Owners sacking Maynard before the end of the season, unless they have some one whos ready to step in immediately.

[@aldhous]

The better team for most of the game? Sorry, you got pummelled for large parts of the 90 minutes.

[@jamesmoore8624]

@@aldhous"Large Parts" being the final 20 minutes after we had a man sent off ?

[@aldhous]

@@jamesmoore8624 No, larger.

[@paulsmith8511]

Look at the big picture. Let's accept we just need an odd point or five to avoid relegation & use rest of season to learn, without pressure. Do not blindly advocate the Alan Harding approach to management; trust in our owners to do the right thing.

[@boryskukulka]

How do we go from a team that is supposed to fight for automatic promotion to being 11 points away from relegation? I miss Williams

[@countycod123]

​@AnnMorley-mr8fl thank god its only 2 down otherwise we would be in the shit. An absolute car crash of an appointment. MAYNARD OUT

[@boryskukulka]

@AnnMorley-mr8flof course its 15 i dont know why i put 11

[@SouthwestTee62]

5 points taken from the last 33!!!! Maynard out surely?

[@DW14974]

I’ve defended Maynard from the start but I feel now it’s time to go. Robertson was playing terrible, on a yellow, 60 odd minutes in we was losing a grip of the second half, it was obvious he had to bring him off

[@SouthwestTee62]

Football is a results business. If we’re not getting the results then the buck stops with the manager.

[@OREOSareFACES]

Teams picking up points below us. Meanwhile, i dont see where our next point comes from. Our best players will be trying everything to get a transfer away and we'll be left with the dross that nobody wants. Even if we survive, i fear for us.

[@justinsightdroning]

Why would you put the tallest man on pitch with nobody to supply crosses after removing the main supply madness 😮

[@matthewharrison]

I don't think anyone can defend Maynard anymore. He has to go. Not saying he's a bad manager and certainly comes across as a decent guy, but without any doubt, he's a round peg in a square hole at notts. Its not working and not going to magic itself better

[@countycod123]

Sam Slocombe..Best performance in a Notts shirt on a night when Notts hit rock bottom.

[@richardskidmore4710]

Whether you feel sorry for him or not, his sub decisions where ridiculous

[@johnwheat5199]

Do I detect a slight acceptance that, as some of us have been saying for weeks, Maynard should be on his bike!

[@phildavies100]

Must be a complete rebuild now…

[@justinsightdroning]

We need to get rid asap so the new manager can plan for next season

[@James-tz8qe]

What are the rumours?

[@sarcastichawke9210]

Never feel sorry for a manager. It's his job and if he's not good enough then you have to go. At this rate Maynard will lose more games by the end of the season than Williams had in his entire stint

[@matthewwilliams4168]

This is why you don't hire national league managers for the football league

[@countycod123]

One word Disaster

[@Paul.Arnold]

Subs were baffling and to only bring Jatta on in the 90th min is criminal…unfortunately the tactics are his and he has destroyed our attacking play, time to admit that this appointment is totally wrong

[@MarcLeach-f4s]

10 points qnd ten places off the playoffs simply season over no other words but Maynard out 😡😡😡😡

[@benw3221]

He has to go. He's lost the fans. His and pre- and post-match engagement has been underwhelming and uninspiring and his substitutions have been incomprehensible. We are now, mathematically, entering a relegation battle

[@countycod123]

Exactly. .the appointment is one of pure naivity on behalf of the owners and was pitched in the relms of dreamworld. An experienced , been there , done it manager is needed. Mansfiled, Stockport, Wrexham all have experienced men at the helm. Wake up notts

[@Hartley_Hare]

I'm a season ticket holder, and I'm not going back to Meadow Lane until the idiot has gone. What he's doing to the club is painful.

[@countycod123]

[@michaelmcquiggan1252]

Hickory dickory dock pick your cards up at ten o clock Maynard out now 😡😡

[@mj87874]

I was giving Maynard the benefit of the doubt but that double sub jj and Crowley and end up loosing 2-1 I’m sorry he hasn’t got a clue and he’s destroying this club. MAYNARD JUST LEAVE we was 5th when you took over now we’re 17th no faith in him at all you are done surely anyone can see that he’s not even gave jatta a chance really he’s played what 50 mins max since he’s came I mean what is Maynard thinking? Stevie wonder would do a better job

[@SteveStone-d5y]

Get him out should never of got him
