Geraldo Bajrami shines in Notts County's victory over Dorking Wanderers

Notts County manager Luke Williams was pleased with Geraldo Bajrami's performance in their 3-1 victory over Dorking Wanderers. Despite a difficult first half in their previous game, the Albanian player retained his spot in the starting lineup due to the absence of skipper Kyle Cameron.

Bajrami, part of the back three, displayed composure alongside Rawlinson and Chicksen. He commanded his area well and relieved pressure from Marc White's side during the second half.

Williams said that Geraldo Bajrami's performance was one of the highlights of the game. It's clear that his performance helped Notts County win the game.

Luke Williams commented on Bajrami's performance, stating: "I think that's the most pleasing thing for me, the resilience that he has, that is the most pleasing thing for me - he was fantastic, and I am so happy for him.

"I have had some difficult conversations with Baj in recent weeks and I can't wait to have an easy one as soon as he is back in for training."

Notts County faced a predicament when their captain was unavailable for the match against Dorking, with Luke Williams having to find a suitable replacement for the armband ahead of a crucial game in their promotion campaign. Matty Palmer had previously worn the armband during the FA Trophy, but Williams decided to appoint Macaulay Langstaff as the stand-in skipper for the Meadow Lane fixture.

Langstaff's performance during the game was impressive, with his two goals bringing his season total to 35 with nine matches remaining. His excellent display may even lead to him asking to keep the captaincy, as he helped inspire his team to a vital comeback victory.

Williams explained his decision to name Langstaff as the captain for the evening, stating: "First of all, I go into the changing rooms because we had news about Kyle Cameron this morning and I said Macca you are going to lead the team out.

"He went bright red and looked down to the floor and embarrassed like he shouldn't lead the team out - and then I said you are everything we are trying to do.

"You are committed, never get carried away, and don't have a big ego and that is what the guy is and today is yet another example of everything good about him."
