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.
