We got to Nottingham at about half twelve and after a promise made in America last year, Carly allowed me to have a few drinks in Hooters.

A great start to the day and nothing could spoil a day, which started by being served Stella from a young girl wearing orange hot pants with her rather large breasts hanging out of her Hooters top. What on earth could spoil this day.well yes here comes Queens Park Rangers ready to destroy any fun you may have been having.

Arriving at the ground it was almost impossible to get a beer and it was freezing cold as we took our seats with the teams coming onto the field. Rangers had made a few chances to the team all of which were forced.

Tommy Williams and Danny Shittu were both injured whilst Calum Wilock and Simon Royce had returned to their clubs after loan spells with Rangers.

We started with Culkin in goal, a back four of Danny Murphy, Forbes, Carlisle and Palmer. In midfield Dennis Oli was on the right, Rose and Bircham in the middle and quite unbelievable Richard Langley as a left winger. Yes you read that right, Langley on the left wing. Gallen and Angell started up front and from the shape of the team you just knew we'd get beat.

Langley spent the entire first half trying to get the ball on his right foot whilst drifting into central midfield leaving Danny Murphy isolated. This saw Palmer and Carlisle come across to help him out leaving Forbes up against a left winger, centre forward palmer had left unmarked and any runners from midfield that Rose and Bircham failed to track.

It was hopeless stuff and the only surprise was it took Notts Couny a few minutes to score. They were all over us, and a ball over to the right saw Culkin flap at it and Liburd volleyed into the net with no one around to close him down. 1-0 and it was about to get much worse.

Danny Murphy fouled a County player out on the left and as the players stood like musical statues the cross came in and Fenton headed in past Culkin for another easy goal, which should have been prevented. A real hiding looked on the cards and it was so self inflicted by playing Langley out wide and still continuing with Rose in midfield.

We came back into the game with a few good crosses by Oli. One of which saw Angell get a chance but his header was brilliantly saved. Carlisle went close from a corner but despite a good spell of corners we failed to beat the man at the front post time and time again to leave us even more frustrated.

Some fans booed the team off at half time, hard to argue with that really, we were truly awful and Ian Holloway was doing himself no favours with the tactics he had used for this one. I couldn't see us getting back in the game, as it seemed unlikely that we'd switch to 3 at the back and bring on Wes Daly to bolster the midfield.

We started the second half with the same team and tactics and you won't be surprised to read not much changed. Long balls up to Gallen didn't work and despite one shot by Gallen where he could have done better chances were few and far between and the cold wind was making an early exit look a very good idea.

Another man looking to get out of the ground was Culkin. His kicking was awful and twice he almost gave away goals once hitting against Caskey and he was lucky to see the ball sail just wide. Another kick went straight to Allsopp but Culkin did well to make a save at his feet.

Culkin is so short of confidence it is unbelievable, god knows why as he hasn't played for ages and this was his chance to make the number one shirt his own. Chris Day should be back in the team by next week on this evidence.

Dennis Oli hit one good shot, which was saved, but it was his last contribution as he was taken off along with Brett Angell. On came Furlong and Wes Daly to almost silence from the Rangers fans who were to cold and bored to get excited or angry at this stage.

It took us ten minutes to give Daly the ball but when we did he put in several quality crosses and he looked a very promising player. One cross was superb and found Furlong five yards out with a free header. His pathetic attempt, which flew wide, summed us up and that was the last chance for us to get back in the game.

Daly hit a superb shot from 30 yards which produced a very good save but as we looked to throw everything forward (an hour to late at this stage) Carlisle was half asleep to give the ball away allowing Danny Alsopp to run through and score the third. At the end the team went of to a mixture of boos, silence and Fuck Off Holloway shouts.

As for me I clapped a few of the players off but they hardly deserved it. Back to Hooters with many other Rangers fans after the game but all the alcohol in the world couldn't stop the pain of seeing Rangers heading down to table towards division three if we keep playing like this.

Man of the Match: Wes Daly

Players Ratings

13. Nick Culkin: Made a couple of good saved but flapped at crosses and his kicking was awful. Anyone would think Tony Roberts was the goalkeeping coach……oh yeah he is. 5/10

2. Terrell Forbes: Spent most of the game covering for other people's mistakes, which meant his own role in the team suffered. His passing was awful though just hoofing the ball again instead of looking for a simple pass. 6/10

16. Danny Murphy: Struggled with Langley in front of him as Richard isn't a left winger. This meant Murphy was two against one a lot of the time but I thought he did ok. 6/10

4. Steve Palmer: Spent the game hoofing the ball forward bit made a few good tackles to keep the score down. 5/10

5. Clarke Carlisle: God knows what's happened to his confidence. He looks very low at the moment and a shadow of the player he can be. 5/10

7. Matthew Rose: Ran all over the place but didn't actually do much. 6/10

8. Marc Bircham: Same as Rose 6/10

9. Richard Langley: Spent most of the game trying to work out what position he is playing and was very disappointing. 5/10

20. Dennis Oli: Needs time in the reserves to improve his game, he didn't do much apart from a few crosses and one shot. 5/10

10. Kevin Gallen: Ran his heart out but a ball to his feet might see us get the best out of him again. 7/10

34. Brett Angell: Not very impressed by him. He looks like the big, slow forward most of thought we had signed. Unlucky with one header though. 5/10

Subs:

29. Paul Furlong: Missed a sitter and didn't do much else. 5/10

21. Wes Daly: Looked like the best Rangers player on the pitch when he came on. Three superb crosses and one shot, he used the ball well and moved off the ball as well. Something a few of our more senior players could do with copying. 8/10

27. Andy Thomson: Ran around a lot but it was a loss cause by the time he came on. 6/10
