In a heart-to-heart chat before the match, Notts County’s dynamic midfielder, John Bostock, opened up about his feelings on making a comeback to the field after a month’s hiatus. He also shed light on the team’s aspirations for the season ahead.
Bostock couldn’t hide his joy at returning to the field, saying, "It's always nice when I got injured against Mansfield. It was a blow; I was really disappointed, but the staff have been brilliant." He acknowledged the support of the rehabilitation team and physios, emphasising the importance of returning to the field at the right time.
Reflecting on the recent victory, he added, "Really happy to come back and play at home and to win as well. Top first half, such a great feeling."
When asked about a potential disagreement with teammate Macaulay Langstaff for a goal, Bostock humorously revealed, "Many arguments. My wife was fuming. She said, 'Yeah, but you did all the work.' I said it doesn't work like that. If it touches him last, you know it's his goal. But that's his instinct, and he wasn't sorry about it at all."
The chat then naturally veered towards the intricacies of the team’s performance. Bostock acknowledged that the post-match discussions focused on improving the second half rather than solely enjoying the initial 45 minutes. He said, "It shows ambition, desire, and a passion to want to improve. Football is a game of two halves, and we have to be able to consistently perform."
The seasoned midfielder, who has donned jerseys for numerous clubs in his career, delved into what sets the Notts County experience apart for him. Bostock, with a spark in his eyes, spoke about the newfound clarity and joy that the club has infused into his career, saying, "Coming to this club has brought so much clarity and joy. The leadership, the players, the vision, the way we play, the fans, the stadium, the history of the club – when you put all these things together, it's a wonderful place to be."
Addressing the instant camaraderie within the squad, Bostock credited the collective effort of both players and staff. He highlighted the attention to detail and personalised sessions, emphasising the club's unique approach.
As the chat was winding down, Bostock took a moment to muse over his place within the team, sharing, "It is nice to have the role I have, and I take it as a huge honour to be able to impact and play a role on the pitch but off it also." He emphasised the importance of leadership as a form of service and expressed his joy in helping younger players on their journey.
John Bostock's insights provide a glimpse into the positive atmosphere at Notts County, where teamwork, ambition, and a unique approach to leadership are driving the club forward.
