Rob Milsom: 'Notts County must finish this season strongly and aim for promotion next year'

Notts County midfielder Rob Milsom has urged his side to finish the season strongly and build towards promotion in 2017.

The Magpies - and their long-suffering fans - have endured a wretched season comprising of multiple managerial changes, the club being put up for sale, a combination of public fallouts among various elements of the club, and many abysmal performances on the pitch which has put the team among the bottom five of the entire Football League.

"It's not just a dead end to the season because there are players who are out of contract and will want to earn them," said Milsom.

"Okay, maybe there is not so much to play for in the league, but personally there is and especially working towards next season.

"What goes on at the back end of this season is going to carry on into next and we want to give the fans hope for next season.

"If they can see a huge improvement now and then achieve what we set out to do this season – which is challenge for promotion – then they will be happy."
