I tend to not agree when people say manager out of his depth etc because it generally isn’t true but as a Notts fan I think it’s fair to say he looked out of his depth
We didn’t suddenly play a new system that you guys wouldn’t have known about. We played the same way we do week after week, very high wingbacks – Nemane and Rodrigues linking up and lots of balls cut back from the byline.
I’m not even sure what your plan was. Was it to overload us in midfield with the extra player there ? Shields needs to look at someone like Rodrigues to see what you need to do without the ball.
I think the two goals left your players a bit shocked but your manager still didn’t change his system til half time.
As it said in the podcast teams have scored against us recently. The lower teams who do well tend to go man for man and be niggly, time waste and break up play a lot.
Hopefully for you it’s a one off and you do better tonight
