Bit harsh on grimmer saying he bottled it for the goal, perhaps misjudged it, their left back ran a good 30/40 yards in about 7 seconds to make it there, and got very lucky with the way the ball ran for him, should he have just slid in and get it out of play, but don’t think he shirked the challenge just an error in judgement
From my armchair
Burge 7
Grimmer 6 - should have wellied it for their goal but kept going
Stokes 6 - quite conservative but difficult after that unfair yellow
Davies 8 - headed everything
Hyam 7 - did OK
Kelly 7 - kept us ticking over, him and Doyle won numerous loose balls
Doyle 7 - as Kelly
Bayliss 7 - got that bit of magic, they'll be scared of him second leg
Shipley 5 - too many bad decisions, blind passes, in fairness he doesn't hide
Biamou 6 - great first half but faded second
McNulty 7 - good movement as per and nerves of steel
Subs
Ponti 6 - worked hard and kept trying to keep our momentum up
JCH 7 - added something as their centre backs were comfortable

Yes perhaps I was harsh on Shipley. Like I said he doesn't hideIn fairness Shipley put their defenders under pressure in the boggy bit and forced a few errors. He certainly has the right intentions when playing the ball forward. Kelly is a very tidy player but just takes the safe option all the time. Although our fans need to be more patient when we are passing and keeping possession. Agree Doyle and Kelly played a big part tonight.

Biamou wins most headers but we don’t have a striker who reads his knock downs, if we did he could score a hat full.
McNulty is never close enough to him, we don't utilise it like teams like Lincoln. Some of them were decent tonight but only McNulty was up there and not reading them.
Christ now it’s 24 goal mcnultys fault for not reading where the ball bounces off Biamous head - Notts defenders had an easy night
Earlier on you said he didn't win a header.
I am saying it's pointless flicking things on when we aren't playing to pick up on it or gamble from it. McNulty is the only more advanced player, when you watch teams like Lincoln or Wycombe do it they have about 3 or 4 players to pick up on them.
It was Davies. Unfortunately for him, Sky were all over the incident and it is likely that, if the referee confirms he didn't see it, there will be retrospective action. It didn't look good, and they seemed to think he hasn't heard the last of it. May mean his season is over.Extra point to whoever stamped on Duffy and got away with it, they clearly didn't like their own medicine up them.
He won very few headers and was the poorest forward for either team by a country mile.
He won the majority of headers throughout the game.
No he didn’t - tell me do you think Notts county would want him in their team? Yes or no?
How many Notts county fans left that ground who even noticed he was on the pitch?
