Bostock and Williams

[optipez]

Regarding the 'Bostock Panenka' penalty, Macca said JB had been practising that penalty all week and had taken pens like that in the past successfully, so LW and Tom Weal would have given him the green light to take it, just a shame it wasn't six inches lower. On the plus side it gave Cedwyn the chance to lay to rest the ghost of Wrexham.

He beat the keeper to be fair, just a couple of inches too high. You look ridiculous when you miss but if you are accurate you're pretty much odds on to score.

Bostock for me was better yesterday than away at Wrexham, which was the previous best performance I'd seen him give in a Notts shirt.

The two noticeable qualities in those two performances were his excellent dead ball ability and seeming to use the ball faster and run faster.

He certainly was the adult in the room yesterday when other players were losing their heads, at least until the penalty. I think the penalty was quite a good example of what someone else aptly called his tendency to 'peacock'. If we can get the Wrexham/Chesterfield version of Bostock in 90% of games next season, he'll be very important for us.

Too much peacocking and League 2 midfields could be quite unforgiving.

Yes, head and shoulders our best player and his best individual performance.

I love the fact his Panenka was practiced all week so the coaching staff had no problem with it. If they're happy letting players express themselves to that extent we're always going to be entertained under them!
