Very true and i hope it is. But we have to do better from now on in. Against the bottom 3 sides, actually win, and not get draws , and stop the occasional bad defeat like Eastleigh
The good news for Notts is, we have been average but are still in the mix, if we can get a good run , 1st is more than possibel, but the proverbial fly on the wll-will we ??
Internally I think top 3 is the target, we probably have the 4th or 5th best budget but the model the owners have is get in undervalued players and development so they will see success on overachieving budget.
The flipside we come 2nd but don’t go up I do wonder if they believe that is failure as daft as it sounds, as the team will have overachieved for 44 games and possibly just then lost 1 game out of 2 in the playoffs.
No rational reason as to why not. We are a good side for the level we are at.
The last time we were promoted 09/10 with arguably our best squad for some time we were sat 6th after 21 games with 34 points. Rochdale were 13 points ahead.
Ironically Chesterfield we’re also above us at that point.
No one needs reminding of how that season panned out and there is no reason we can’t go on a run.
