If I remember correctly, Curle presided over a great away record going 22 (?) games unbeaten. Unfortunately , the system didn't work so well at home with opposition teams employing a low press and happy for Notts to play possession football. Boucard being the key CM operative.
Notts missed out on the play offs after a final day 2-4 defeat v Bury at ML.
Ironically, a draw would have seen Notts qualify and trying to win the game after drawing level at 2-2 saw them beaten.

I ,personally, didn't want KC after Mad Dog was sacked but he won the fans over and did a great job !

We were talking to Graham Alexander , at Wimbledon , before the PO 2nd leg.
He praised Notts ' away record and said a one goal defecit was not a problem.
Conceding after just 8 minutes though was a major blow.
We won our last two games that season we beat Wycombe in injury time away and won easily last game too.

Still a record of 45% win ratio is very good if the results were flipped around he'd have stayed im certain of that.

Alexander is correct one goal you can comeback from & history of play off games shows this.

I have no gripes though as I didnt think we were good enough for promotion.
