Notts County’s John Bostock Talks About His Return to Doncaster Rovers

PON_News

By PON_News

John Bostock, a former Doncaster Rovers player, is set to return to his old club this weekend as Notts County take on Doncaster Rovers in an away game. In an interview ahead of the match, Bostock reflected on his time at Doncaster and shared his thoughts on the upcoming game.

"Yeah, I had an enjoyable time there," Bostock said. "Although we didn't finish how I would have liked it to have finished, with us getting relegated, but it was a really good time."

Bostock is looking forward to seeing some familiar faces at the game, but he is focused on doing his job for Notts County. "I mean it'd be good to go back to see some old faces but obviously on the other side now to go and do a job," he said.

Bostock has played for many clubs in his career and has had to compete against previous clubs before. He has utmost respect for Doncaster Rovers and the people involved there. "You know, some really great people I met at my time there," he said. "But you know, I'm a County player now, and I'm passionately trying to perform for my team and for us to build something here this season. So it's just another game."

Bostock also spoke about how he hopes to be received by the Doncaster fans. "I don't normally think about how I'm perceived," he said. "But it will be nice to be received well, but you know they're a team who wants to win, and their fans will be behind their players. Our fans will be behind me and us. So yeah, I'll show the club the utmost respect because I enjoyed my time there."

Notts County are confident that they can get a result against Doncaster Rovers. "It is important, it will come," Bostock said. "We're confident it will come. We are tinkering and changing and adapting to obviously the new league. But we know that once we start to really find our rhythm we will be where we need to be you know."

Bostock also talked about how Notts County are working hard to adapt to the new league and find their rhythm. He believes that with performances comes wins and that tomorrow's game against Doncaster Rovers will hopefully be another step in the right direction.

With their confidence and focus, Notts County are ready to take on Doncaster Rovers this weekend and hopefully come away with a win.

I appreciate the honesty in Bostock's words; it's refreshing. He enjoyed his time at Doncaster, yet is completely committed to performing his best for Notts County now. I reckon that's a key aspect of football - respecting all teams, yet wholeheartedly striving for your own club's success.

A player's return to an old team can stir a cocktail of emotions. In this case, however, it seems nothing but respect and professionalism on Bostock's part. It's fascinating and inspiring to see his commitment to Notts County.

This was an enlightening interview with John Bostock, speaking highly of his time at Doncaster Rovers but making it clear he's all for Notts County now. What spoke volumes to me was his ability to keep professionalism at the forefront, showing respect for the Doncaster fans yet not shying away from his current commitment to Notts County. That's the spirit of competition, isn't it? Former allegiances aside when it's game time.

He shows impeccable game spirit here; respect for his past but an unbending resolve for the present. His acknowledgement of the fans and their perception of him is also noteworthy. Great sportsman spirit!

The thing about most players is that they will be diplomatic and I have respect for John Bostock that he won’t forget his time with his club. Some players move on then act like the previous club is their enemy. Professional players won’t do this, which is a great thing. I also praise Bostock for going to the fans before and after games.

I appreciate John Bostock, it’s nice to hear a player speak well of a former team. I do think it was a topic that he didn’t quite want to discuss but he answered the questions excellently.

John Bostock is aware that his primary focus is on his individual performance and Notts County. While it's pleasant to hear his reflections about a former club we are set to face, these thoughts hold little relevance to the current situation. After all, it's unlikely that he would speak ill of them or behave poorly. It's essentially a minor narrative, but his responses have certainly prevented it from fading into insignificance.
