The fact 6 of the wickets so far have been caught, suggests as ever they are trying to play shots, rather than assess the conditions.
Brain dead batting again.
I am starting to sound like Loafer.

Another bloody minefield of a wicket!!! We're sooooo unlucky.

Notts could use the 'cancel by 1pm day before' clause into effect at their Hotel soon - can't see this going into day four

Robinson now out caught as well...
.... for 0 off 22 balls.
This was only ever a c.300 pitch against a normal Div One attack and we had to bat in the worst of the overhead conditions. Not saying that 220 all out will be a good score but it is not unforgivable.

If Robinson (coach) still thinks we're too good to go down, hopefully this will serve as the metaphorical slap in the face to wake the fool up.

Horsham is historically a flat wicket with a small boundary.
Notts score suggests that is still the case.
We look like a side expecting to go down at the moment.

Well any-side would be doomed if the manger started saying we are going down prior to it being mathematically possible, we desperately need that traditional late run we often get, however I am struggling as to what games coming up are winnable
Middlesex away at Lords
Yorkshire home at Hove
Worcestershire away at New Road
Somerset last home fixture at Hove
Yorkshire away at Headingley

County Championship matches there in 2013 and 2014. Average of 7 innings scores = 224.
In the first innings of this match Magoffin & Robinson bowled 62.1 overs, 20 maidens, and took 5 top order wickets for 165.

Last year does probably distort that stat, as Magoffin ripped through Somerset.

213 all out and following on.
Who is going to bat for time, rather than trying to hit every ball?

Magoffin ? Perhaps why he was dropped down to 10 in the first innings.

Wells one of the few batsmen that does not play the whole tine in one day mode is gone.
Not ideal...

Quite. Wells is our one player who deliberately aims to make himself as hard to get out as possible.
All of the others mix risk and reward differently. Nash and Machan seem to play only at a very attacking run a ball tempo. Joyce, Cachopa, Wright, and Brown also like to score freely but seem more prepared to try and play to match conditions.
