Notts County secured a 3-1 victory against Doncaster Rovers at the Eco-Power Stadium. In a post-match interview, manager Luke Williams shared his thoughts on the team's performance and individual player performances.
According to Williams, it was a good performance from Notts County. "We took our chances in the first half," he said. "Doncaster made it difficult for us to build up to the final third. However, we changed our tactics a bit and it helped us." He also mentioned that the goals changed the game and in the second half, Notts County took the game away from Doncaster a little bit.
"The scoreline probably wasn't a true reflection of the overall game, but we're delighted with it and most of the performance was very good," he added.
Williams further commended the impressive performances of each player. He mentioned that Macaulay Langstaff had come close to scoring a hat-trick and that he deserved the goals for his work rate. "He has come close a few times already, and he was excellent in the game," Williams said. He also mentioned that this player is playing catch up now because he likes to score goals again, so he has to score and have a brace.
Williams also talked about how they don't want to do what is expected from set pieces. "All teams have markers and there is a moment of calm before the whistle goes where players can get set and pick up their markers," he explained. "However, when the ball comes into open play, players have to make decisions and work out whether they should step up or not. This can be difficult."
In addition, Williams discussed how one player came off under his own steam which is a good thing, and now they just have to wait and assess before he can tell anything more. He mentioned that people talk about taking positives from every bad situation, but it's difficult to find one in the opening day.
However, they can turn that into a positive and remember how terrible they felt when they let the fans down because they went there in numbers and sang all the way through. If they don't want that feeling again, they have to be really focused and concentrate on all the small details.
It was a strong performance from Notts County and Williams was pleased with the result. The team will look to build on this victory in their upcoming matches.
