🆕🧵 Here’s a thread on my thoughts of every #Notts player on #FM23

@JayGomezLeathen has done a great job on these! 👏

My FM save content will be coming soon - would people want to see it on here or over on YouTube?

Watch out for FM content coming from @AnalystsBar soon too!
Sam Slocombe
First one up and I think they’ve got it absolutely spot on. Only thing is rushing out, perhaps could be a little higher but that’s only this season so understandable. Love the communication being high and the physicals are accurate too. Great start Image
Brad Young
Can’t really comment on this one too much as we’ve only seen him against Coalville. Think the Aerial Reach is good as he’s absolutely huge altho 6ft3 is not correct; he’s way taller than that!! Got great potential in game Image
Richard Brindley
Very average across the board, pace jumps out as being way too low, as does his physicals in general. They should be way higher. Not sure what the Free Kick taking is about either, overall not bad Image
Connell Rawlinson
Looks a very solid National League defender and tbh think the stats are really accurate. Think passing and crossing could be slightly higher, but tbh think this one is pretty much spot on! Image
Aden Baldwin
Really like this one. Passing is good, vision could be slightly higher as could pace, but like the fact his potential is high showing his pedigree and ability to improve. Think they’ve nailed this one Image
Kyle Cameron
Stats wise it’s a very good effort. Got the passing right, aggression could be higher as could his shooting stats, but again they’ve really got this one right. The Scottish nationality is annoying - he has played for them at youth level but he’s very much a Geordie! Image
Geraldo Bajrami
Wow he’s amazing in game, but this reflects how good he is in real life. Whats great is that he is so well rounded, and that’s exactly what he is like irl. Could be natural in CM too as that’s where he plays most for us, technique could be higher; overall love it Image
Aaron Nemane
Upgrade needed desperately. Tackling of 4 simply isn’t right, pace and acceleration too low. Mentals are fine but the other areas aren’t great. He’s been one of the best wing backs in the league and these stats don’t reflect that. First miss for me Image
Tobi Adebayo-Rowling
His stats are very average across the board, apart from physicals where he shines, and tbf this isn’t far off what we have seen so far this season. When we see more of him I’ll be able to evaluate these more, but not too upset by this one Image
Adam Chicksen
You know what, they’ve absolutely nailed this. I was worried they wouldn’t have finishing up there, but they do, the stamina is perfect and the only slight thing is the personality, this should be consummate professional (or whatever the equivalent is) Image
Joel Taylor
If anything, these stats are a little generous. Think his pace has remained since his Stoke days on the game, as he hasn’t shown that he is the same speed as Nemane. He also has higher work rate than Chicks which I feel isn’t quite right either Image
Jim O’Brien
Love it. Really shows he is a cultured midfielder, one who has a wealth of experience. Think they’ve been harsh on his physicals tbh; yes they are declining but he’s not that slow. Mentals are superb tho, love that Image
Matty Palmer
Not good enough on the game. Feel a lot of the 12s could be 13s, it’s only a slight thing but Palmer could still be playing in League One, and these stats don’t reflect that. He still looks good tho and the numbers are higher in the right areas, just not high enough Image
Ed Francis
Well rounded on the game and this reflects his game, tbh maybe he’s slightly too highly rated on the game, but the passing and touch do represent the quality he has. Maybe his physicals could be lower Image
Sam Austin
Off the ball needs to be higher, and feel his technicals have been rated harshly. His work rate and team work are really good and his versatility is well reflected too Image
Ruben Rodrigues
Wow. He looks superb on the game, as he is in real life. He looks good enough to play in League One, as he is in real life, so they’ve nailed this… apart from work rate and team work! He’s the best presser in our team and this should be reflected Image
Macaulay Langstaff
Oh yes, like this a lot. Think he could be slightly better (off the ball for example) but ofc he will get a January upgrade, but with 18 goals so far feel he could be slightly better. Still, he’s very very good Image
Cedwyn Scott
I’m unsure of this one. His physicals are very good, his finishing is too and of course he has really good potential on the game so can improve massively. Think his Mentals could get a boost tho Image
Kairo Mitchell
This one is almost spot on, just feel his physicals are too low as he is a very good athlete. Other than that they’ve got it down really well; long shots good, work rate high and they’ve got this one down very well indeed Image
Luther Munakandafa
Love the high potential here and the versatility of positions (Altho wing back should probably be competent). Like the pace and strength and he looks like a prospect with the raw tools to be good in game Image

🆕🧵 Here’s my thread on #Notts v #Blues from Tuesday night

Sorry for the delay in this one, #FM23 has got in the way a bit 😅 lmk below how you want to see the progress of my Notts save 👇

Limited footage for this one as Southend acc have less highlights than us! Image
One thing that Baldwin provides which is such a weapon is his long passing. I know we overused the diagonal to Nemane early on this season, but it’s such an effective move, and having Aden back in the side makes it possible to bypass the opposition press with ease
Nemane got quite a bit of criticism online but I thought he was a real threat down the right, and the battle v Bridge was fascinating. Here he gets in behind, causing them all sorts of issues, but it’s a shame that Scott couldn’t get good contact; his movement was superb

🆕🧵 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 🧵 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!

🆕🧵 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
