Here’s my thread 🧵 of my thoughts on todays #NationalLeague games

Let’s start at the top where both #Notts and #WxmAFC won 4-0. They’re matching each other blow for blow and are both magnificent sides. The argument for 2 automatic promotion places couldn’t be stronger
Jeff King and Darren Oldaker are two of the best in the league (both made it into our @notts_stats Team of the First Quarter), and both were on the scoresheet as #Spireites continued their good form

They’ve had 3 really tough games this week so 7 points from them is very good
I had Dagenham on the group acca, so a 4-1 win wasn’t surprising. Wealdstone are really dipping off now, a massive shame. Morias got another 2 goals, such an exciting player to watch

#TheShots have had an unbelievable turnaround; winning away at Dorking is tough, especially 3-0!
As @brianbe09809063 pointed out I was wrong about Maidenhead, yet again, and their win was really impressive. Bromley are so reliant on Sowunmi at the back

Gateshead got a viral point at home today, but they’ve still only won 2 games! They need to win more or they’ll struggle
Absolute heartbreak for #YTFC they almost had a perfect start under their new manager but once again couldn’t hold on for a win. They’ve scored the joint fewest (with Torquay)

Talking of #tufc I really worry for them. They offered nothing in attack today; cannot see them scoring
#Woking continue their fine for at home. They are now 5th. Surprised to see both Hesketh & Carter not start for Eastleigh

Great win for #Shaymen who climbed above their rivals in a tense derby. Oldham are just 2 points above the drop, very precarious
Finally Southend. As @ShrimperStats has pointed out, they are an excellent side and if they keep this up they will definitely be in the playoffs come the end of the season. York have only lost at home to #Notts and Eastleigh, so going there and not conceding is very impressive

🆕🧵 here’s my thread for #Notts 4-0 win over #tufc

Sorry that it’s later than usual but had a mad busy day!

Image credit goes to Torquay for this one Image
Aaron has this move in the locker, and has used it often recently, and it opens up space for him to drive into. I was also impressed with how Rawlo adapted to that new role to the right of the defence, and how he pushed up into that pocket of space. The cross is good too
Rawlo had a really strong game in his new role, and he pushed into that space really nicely. It compresses the Torquay defence, and is a real tactical tool. Note how Baj is filling in as he pushes up and also the movement of Palmer, who moves into space to make the pass possible

🆕🧵 Here’s my thread on #Notts 6-1 win over Wealdstone

A super performance, not as much to analyse here as we dominated and the footage is limited (credit goes to Notts for the footage)

@AaronNemane11 was on 🔥
This comes from a misplaced pass from Brinds (more on that later) but the intent from Ruben is so impressive. It’s early and he’s already looking to create scoring chances. The positioning from Macca is sublime, allowing him to receive it in a tight space. The finish is 👌
I’m going to ignore the pen as I feel the footage is inconclusive, but again this clip highlights the attacking intent of Ruben, playing yet another pass into a dangerous area. He not only has the vision to see these passes ahead of time, but the technique to execute them

🆕🧵 Here’s my thread on #Notts 3-0 win over @maidstoneunited

Firstly a mention to the travelling Maidstone support, amazing for a wet Friday night 👏

Video credit also to Maidstone for this one

#Notts #COYP ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
We open with this clip showing the combative side Baj brings to the midfield. He spots the danger, and reacts really well, show how aware he is throughout the game. I’m also impressed with Nemane battling here, and I think LW deserves credit for increasing our intensity
Nemane holds his position really nicely here, making himself available and also giving him great body positioning to cross first time. Langstaff’s positioning is also excellent here; between the CB and Full Back, meaning he cannot be picked up to be marked

Here are my #NationalLeague thoughts after todays games

Firstly #Alty are finally coming good, and looking like the side I’ve predicted them to be all season. 3 wins in 4, and getting the rewards for playing the right way. Great to see @MullarkeyToby on the scoresheet,top player
#Spireites have lost 3 on the bounce and must be worries about results. Even starting Kabby didn’t help. Huge credit to Eastleigh who continue to have a good season

Maidstone stopped the rot finally with a late equaliser; hope this is a turning point for them
#Iron might have been 3-1 up, but #TheShots did brilliantly to come from behind and rescue a point. Apter is some player for Scunthorpe

A great win for #WeAreTheWood capitalising on a #WeAreBromley slip up. A tough away day too so fair play to Garrard’s side

🆕🧵 Here’s my thread for todays 3-2 win away to #Woking

A brilliant professional performance. The 1st half we were second best but still took our chances, and second half we didn’t give them a sniff

We still have things to work on but I cannot wait for the next game #Notts
The 2nd goal is a thing of beauty, and is all about the build up in the middle. I touched on this in the week, I feel Scott has such a well rounded game, & he shows it here with the chest down & the finish too. Ruben’s pass is technically perfect and great width from Chicks
Cedwyn once again starts a move and also finishes it, and his overall game was so accomplished, and his movement was superb. Macca didn’t get a goal in this game but this contribution was as good as; he keeps the ball alive and makes it possible for his partner to tap in

🆕🧵 Here’s my thread on #Notts win over #WxmAFC

A closely fought game and the type of performance we haven’t seen from us at this level

All video credit to Notts and Wrexham
This free kick, wow, exceptional. The false run from Palmer that allows Ruben to step back onside just at the right moment, catching them out. The run from Matty down the right, the nutmeg from Ruben. And Macca being in the right place stepping off just enough, and quality finish
We always get Cameron up into the half space, and I was worried we would struggle against a strong side but we didn’t. Cameron is such a threat offensively, and the weight of cross is perfect here too. Macca is surprisingly good in the air too; this will bring goals
