For Maggsfield, a desperate draw at home to Notts County was already their biggest success, as they could get a share of the ticket revenue from the replay, which was their only luxury, and even they didn't think that way to take away the win on the road.

Although Notts County is not a Premier League giant, the ball market is very hot this season, and after an FA Cup, the ticket revenue share is enough for a small ball like Maggsfield, so Maggsfield is very easy to satisfy.

Although the captain Alonso said before the game that he wanted to give this victory to the fans first, but due to the strength of the opponent, the schedule and the physical fitness of the players, Loew sent a substitute-based lineup, Alonso did not even enter the game squad, can only sit in the stands and watch the game with the fans, which satisfies the desire of many fans and stars to get close to each other.

However, even with the substitute line-up, Notts County easily crushed their opponents, especially in the context of such atonement, and the players played extremely hard.

In the end, the scoreboard at Meadow Lane showed a bloody scoreline.

15:0

Even though Maggsfield didn't play with a winning mentality, the players on the pitch were deeply struck by the glaring scoreline, and in fact, when Notts County scored in double figures, Maggsfield's players had completely given up on resistance.

For Notts County fans, it's a rare goalscoring feast.

When the first goal came in, the fans cheered excitedly, even if the opponent didn't deserve attention;

When the second goal came in, the fans were still screaming with excitement;

Third ......

Fourth ......

The fans gradually became numb to the goal, and even felt that the game was too cruel to the opponent.

It's like eating a hamburger, one or two is enough to fill your stomach, but eating fifteen is not an ordinary support.

In any case, the promise to the fans has been fulfilled, and as for the opponent's mental breakdown, Notts County does not care, because this is professional football, if you can't even withstand the blow, you should go to your mother for milk.

Of course, in cup competitions such as the League Cup and FA Cup, it is not uncommon for a big team to have a big scoreline, and it would be a surprise if the big teams did not beat the lower teams by a small score.

After the game, the opposition's manager looked extremely unnatural in an interview, even like pins and needles, and now he even has some doubts about whether the last draw against Notts County was the right choice.

If they hadn't drawn with Notts County in their last game, they wouldn't have been abused in this game, and only the ticket revenue share of this game could comfort their hearts.

Notts County comfortably beat Bournemouth by two goals in their final league game before Christmas to finish the half-season season.

There are 24 clubs in League Two, with 46 league rounds per season, and after this round, the schedule is exactly halfway through.

Notts County, who had been in the spotlight before the start of the season, finished at the top of the standings with 19 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, while Brighton, who lost this round, are still in second place in the standings, but the gap with Notts County has widened to six minutes.

As for the strong teams such as Reading, Mansfield and Cardiff City, they were left behind and lost the qualification to hit the League Two championship early.

Because of the team's excellent record and successfully broke into the semi-finals of the League Cup, David wanted to have a big Christmas dinner, but was stopped by Loew, you know, according to the average four-day game intensive schedule, even if the rotation is adopted, the players are at full capacity, this time should not do some extra tricks.

Despite the cancellation of the Christmas dinner, David still felt that the players should be allowed to have a good Christmas, and sometimes the mental relaxation was even more pleasant than the physical relaxation.

So the club stepped in and brought all the families of all the non-English players to Nottingham to arrange for them to spend an unforgettable Christmas with the players, of course, this part of the cost is entirely at the club's expense.

Maybe for these players who are not low salaries, they don't really care about this money, but at least they feel the human touch of the club and the unusual human care.

David couldn't help but think of the surprised expressions of the players when they saw their families outside the training ground at the end of training, and the rare scene of several tough guys in his impression hugging and crying with joy with their families.

However, the players can celebrate Christmas with their families, but they can only sleep alone, in this life, he is still single, and he does not even have a family, this loneliness, I am afraid that only in the dead of night will come to mind.

However, a few players invited David to spend Christmas with him, but David smiled and rejected the players' kindness, they rarely reunited with their families, so it was better not to disturb them to enjoy the family fun.

So David went on a trip, well, and the destination was London.

In fact, when he dragged his suitcase, he didn't know why he was going to London, maybe he just wanted to relax his mind during the journey, after all, he didn't know what he was doing when he came back from rebirth.

A few hours later, David had already appeared in his room at the Claridge Hotel in London, where he would spend Christmas alone, and two days later he would leave and return to Nottinghamshire.

Walking through the streets of London, although it is a cold winter, with the scattered falling snowflakes and the festive atmosphere on the faces of passers-by, at least David does not feel boundless cold.

When passing by a Chinese arts and crafts store, David's heart moved, is it a good idea to buy some Chinese-style gifts to bring back to the players and staff?

Thinking of this, David stepped in.

"Sir, I've saved up enough, but can you help me put a nice package?"

As soon as he entered the gift shop, David saw a seven or eight-year-old child lying on tiptoe on the counter, pointing to one of the silk embroidery bags and saying to the salesperson.

"I'm sorry, kid, the packaging is not gifted, I can help you make a beautiful package, but you still need to pay £2." The salesman shook his head and said with a somewhat unbearable expression.

At this time, David had already seen that there were scattered banknotes and coins on the counter in front of the child, the face value was very small, I think it was the child who had saved it and was going to use it to buy silk bags, he must have saved it for a long time.
