Michael O'Connor: 'Notts County a few signings away from promotion-chasing quality'

Michael O'Connor has suggested that two or three more signings will see Notts County have enough quality to challenge for promotion next season.

The Magpies skipper is currently sidelined with a serious knee injury which he suffered in April last year and is likely to be out until next year.

However, he has noted the change in mood at the club, particularly following the bright end to the 2016/17 campaign, and believes the team is close to being a contender for the top seven.

"There is a really good buzz about the club, especially after how we ended the season last year," O'Connor told the Nottingham Post.

"I still think we are a couple of players short of really having a go, but the lads we already have here have shown what they can do. If you add two or three more signings to that then we will be challenging.

"But for me it's all about how you start the season. Every time I've had promotion it's always been on the back of a really good start. If you have a good start then confidence builds and you can really kick on from there."
