Agreed, really bad for lower league clubs with less chance of a big replay payday. And a lot more penalty shoot-outs, which makes the whole thing a lottery. I'm getting increasingly fed up with how the Premier League clubs are dictating everything. We don't even get a decent annual payment...

There's plenty of historical evidence to show that the NHS in general flourishes under Labour governments and struggles under the Tories - eg public approval, waiting lists, A&E response times. That tends to be linked to funding. All governments increase NHS budgets, but Labour have historically...

That's just the sort of contrary thing we could well do - though 5-0 could be a stretch! I remember a League 2 game under Hess when we lost 3-1 at Chesterfield at the end of a season, and we had to watch them all celebrating promotion (and we missed out). It wasn't fun.

I live less than 20 miles away and have been to around half our away games this season. But I'm giving Mansfield a miss I'm afraid - it's no fun at the best of times, let alone potentially watching the opposition celebrate promotion...

I've said this on other threads, but no thanks. He's supposed to be a winger, but lacks pace. He occasionally produces a moment of magic, but not often enough. He also goes missing in games so I'm not convinced about his temperament. He's the sort of player who may flourish in a very successful...

I wouldn’t keep Mahoney. Too slow for a winger and disappears in games. A luxury player we can’t afford.

So poor. Classic Gills performance - start slow, come back into it, create a few chances but miss them, concede a poor goal, then look completely toothless in the second half. It just just confirms my view that we need to bin most of these players. Midfield was non existent today. Hutton the...

No idea where 'Ben' came from!😳

I've voted. Ben Coleman for Player of the Year (sheer consistency in a season where no one has been outstanding) and Mahoney's goal v Morecambe.

I only see away games, so I may have a different view. At Salford and Notts County Dieng was excellent - and he was key to our good first half yesterday. But it may be a different story at home. Fair point about Hurtado, but no harm in trying!And I agree Morris is a decent shot stopper, but he...

I agree with most of your starters, but would be much more ruthless with the rest. Assuming we can sort contractually, I'd get rid of: Malone - too expensive to warm the bench. Mackenzie - never looks like making the starting XI Lapslie - a big disappointment. Had too many chances, lightweight...

Just got home to Notts and might as well give my five pence worth… The way the team capitulated was truly shocking. Something was wrong from the moment the second half started. We were slower and stood off the opposition. Harrogate had loads more more time and we were asking for trouble. In the...

Scally still has a potential role in negotiating with agents, players and other clubs - or at least, advising on what is and isn't a good deal, and what beneficial "extras" we can squeeze into contracts. He's proved himself pretty good at that down the years.

We have to forget about the other contenders. It's what we do that counts. 74 points has to be the target. That's 5 wins out of 7. Our form over the season would suggest we're incapable of stringing together such a run - I still fear the recent home draws will cost us in the end - but hope...

Nike trying to be clever with a gimmick and the FA being their usual stupid selves in not anticipating the backlash. A flag is a flag - you don't mess with it. There's a simple solution - don't buy the shirt. I really hope there's a big boycott, so that Nike take a serious financial hit. It...
