Frustrating, but not too disheartened.

They’re nothing to worry about.

Keates got to have a think on what we do now Thomas and Ponticelli are out for the season. I’d seriously think about Pearson or Kelleher up front.

Excellent for twenty minutes. For this level it was a joy to watch. That was a nailed on three points for me until we went down to ten men.

With no new signings allowed I'm afraid that is season more or less over.

Looked great the first 15 minutes. As soon as Pont got injured we lost shape and momentum. Dire second half and no plan B. Season over now.

Get ready for the rest of the season to look like this. Another promotion challenge peters out.
The Keates/Darlington system was finally looking like working as we had seemingly finally found a striker to fit the system around.
Even if Ponticelli was fit, he’s nowhere near an effective replacement.
Now we’re left with the cringeworthy sight of lumping the ball up to very a slow centre half. This is an inexcusable situation for a promotion chasing team with a decent budget to be left in.

Losing was no surprise and sums Keates up, a loser mentality when it really really matters in a big game. Would anyone be confident going away to one of the current sides in the playoffs?

This. The only way we're going up is winning the league (lol) we'd die of stage fright in the play offs and keates would stand on the side lines like a lost lamb

Lots of bad luck with injuries which probably has blown our chances of promotion now .
Prepare for next season now only 12 matches to go and make sure the squad and management are good enough for promotion next season

2 injuries and we've capitulated. That isn't great planning.

Big few games coming up.

No doubt the injuries cost us but we had chances before they occurred, Poor game Notts not very good, We just didn't seem to have the penetration to be able to score, Yet again we failed miserably at corners and crosses, Lainton glued to his line as usual.

A typical Keates performance for all but the first 15 mins and the last 10 mins.....Durrell on before Jarvis was a master stroke Dean! Watching him and Davies on the touchline reminds me of going to see the Chuckle Brothers in Llandudno with my children....with less laughs of course.
