Point one is correct but we now have a team who wins more than not and plays good football, doesn't matter the league you're in, the combination of playing well, winning and challenging for the top positions will always bring in notts fans.
It's great to see more and more people on here recognise the "good football" on display since IB came in and implemented his ideas and playing style into the squad.

Naturally this doesn't happen overnight but instead following no doubt hard work and new concepts on the training pitches.

Whether it ends up being successful in this highly competitive 5th tier is another matter (as always is the case), only time will tell.

But the majority of fans will enjoy the football on offer in finding out and more importantly hopefully a blueprint of good attractive football at a club that is viewed as progressive can only be a good thing. Our damaged reputation in the footballing world might just be being repaired on a month by month basis. It's just a shame IB didn't come in when we were struggling in L2 rather than in NL.
