Notts County’s captain, Kyle Cameron, took a breather to look back on the team’s journey so far this season.
Chatting with the club before the match against Walsall tomorrow, he seemed pretty satisfied with where they’re at but admitted there’s room to step up their game.
"I think if you're looking at a general look at things, you know, you look at the table, you'd probably say we're doing quite well," Cameron remarked. "A point off automatic places and not too far away from Stockport as well. I think if you looked at that in August and said that's where we would be coming up to Christmas, I think you would probably be quite happy as a fan and myself as a player as well."
Despite the team's commendable position, Cameron highlighted the challenges faced this season compared to the last, emphasising the increased quality of opposition and the need to address defensive lapses.
"The quality of the opposition is a little bit better," Cameron admitted. "They come with a better game plan, and they can stick to that game plan a little bit better. It feels like everything's getting capitalised on at this moment in time. Last season, it wasn't plain sailing, and we did make mistakes, but we would get away with maybe a little bit more."
Cameron emphasised the importance of concentration and mental resilience, citing the need for the team to tighten up defensively. "It's just a case of as a group; we need to maybe raise the concentration levels and sort of tighten up a little bit," he said.
Acknowledging defensive struggles, Cameron expressed a collective determination to rectify the situation. "We feel embarrassed with the amount of goals we've conceded this season," he admitted. "For myself, I do feel embarrassed with the amount of goals we've conceded. We are trying to work on that, definitely."
As Notts County prepares to face Walsall this weekend, Cameron sees it as another opportunity to showcase the team's abilities. But he’s not getting carried away. He knows how unpredictable football can be and insists the team needs to keep their eyes on the prize and give everything for those three points.
"We can't look at any game and expect it to be a straightforward three points," Cameron warned. "They're going to want to come here and try and get a result. So it's not ever going to be straightforward. We have to concentrate more, knuckle down, and really try this weekend to get a clean sheet and get three points on the board."
