Why play back to a slow spin bowler?  Do the coaching staff discuss with the batsmen how to play each bowler or is it left to chance?

We don’t have a batting coach, other than Nico, and it is showing 

[SemperEadem]

Maddy was saying on Sunday that he has been doing some coaching for us, T20 stuff in particular.

We're gonna lose this by an innings. 😆 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

That Azad decision looked dubious 

[Sunbury Fox]

Please can we just end this season now. Just forfeit the games as the outcome is certain anyway and it will save the bother and frustration of actually having to watch any of the rubbish we produce on the field.

2 wkts left trailing by 10 with 15 overs to go. If they lose today to have scored 440  batting just short of lunch and lose a match by the end of the next day must be some sort of record even by the counties very low standards. This is truly pathetic 

[Lako42]

Just got home, made a cup of tea and put the stream on having no idea how we were doing...... 

 

 

What the actual ****

I find it very interesting that we find a new record to break In most games. 

 

It's rather depressing. 

 

 

The last week has been horrific and a few at the club need to fall in their swords. 

[Harpenden Fox]

If England’s performances over the last fortnight show the value of good leadership, County’s prove the reverse. 
 

This second innings has to demonstrate a lack of effort doesn’t it? It’s just embarrassing.

[Sunbury Fox]

Genuinely lost for words about today's "performance". I keep saying it but surely Nixon needs to go?

[MaidstoneFox]

Staggering even by our standards. How do you get bowled out for 99 on a pitch that had just seen 1000 runs scored on it?

[Corky]

Abysmal. 

 

[adam]

Taking the piss now. May as well pack up 

[Tommy Fresh]

If this was a football club he'd be gone, cricket is obviously a different business completely. But does anyone have any idea on how bad it needs to get before someone just resets the whole club(and I don't mean the ECB just binning us), absolute joke.

[CrawlingFox]

Embarrassing. Some doing to lose by an innings the day after racking up 400+.

 

Compare to Derbyshire who just beat Middlesex in 3 days...

[Foxdiamond]

For you close followers of the cricket club please could you explain the demise. I remember they were a club that won honours and could give anyone a game be it the 4 day or limited overs. 

[HybridFox]

I know it's Notts but what an absolute letdown. Talk about the hope that kills you. Pathetic

To not even take it to day 4 and lose by an innings, after posting over 400 and batting in to day 2 is utter sh**.

[HaroldBazBo]

Dreadful

[Silebyfox_89]

Really thought we couldn't find any more ways to loose in more embarrassing fashion and bingo!.

 

If Nico is on the chopping block, who comes in? Gary Kirsten, Mike Hesson, Peter Moores, Trevor Bayliss or Mark Alleyne?

 

Derbyshire have shown if you can land a big fish coach and then it can open up other doors regarding recruitment, player performance and reputation.

[smudger63]

Only we could get 440 in the first innings and still lose by an innings in 3 days!  It's embarrassing.

What do you mean ‘IF’ Nico is on the chopping block?! What more (or least) does he have to do? He is extremely limited as a coach; doesn’t have an eye for a good player; makes bizarre team selections and odd batting positions and doesn’t improve players. It’s a f@cking disgrace

[MaidstoneFox]

Is it possible for supporters to take over the running of the club? We couldn't do any worse in all aspects.

As a supporter and corporate sponsor; where do I sign and how can I help?
