Stuart Maynard Reflects on Notts County's Depth Ahead of Gillingham Clash

He’s right to say that squad depth is important and I believe we’ve got a very good squad now with competition in almost every department this can only be good as the season progresses and the inevitable injuries start to kick in.

tbh i dont think taking robbie cundy off was a 'sacrifice' i thought he looked quite poor and taking him off, we played much better. i think stuart maynard is being a good manager by protecting him in the media but i thought everyone else looked really good. it was jodi show.

Notts should be able to take on Gillingham on Saturday with lots of confidence. Stuart has every right to be pleased with how the team is playing.

He should also be very pleased with the strength of the squad. Notts now have a very strong squad with potential game changers ready to come on if necessary.

Gillingham will be a big test for Notts. They are playing well too. A mouthwatering top of the league clash is going to have meadow lane rocking.

I'm confident that Notts will be victorious on Saturday, because Stuart has so many options to play with.

Stuart's squad of players are working together so well at the moment, & I believe they will only get better as the season progresses.

Jodi Jones had a significant impact on the performance. When we went two down, he became motivated to get us back into the game. I agree with Liam - Robbie Cundy perhaps shouldn’t have started, but I could see what Stuart Maynard was thinking. Changing the formation helped bring us more into the game. David McGoldrick and Jatta up top looked impressive.

I am happier knowing Notts are at home to Gillingham than playing at their ground. I feel the 12th man will encourage the players to perform at their best. Stuart Maynard is right about the depth. Rotation at times is useful too. It was good to see Jodi Jones, Jatta, and Dan Crowley find the net.

The squad is performing well together. They look settled and on board with the team no matter who starts. It’s the fight and togetherness that impressed against Bromley. Gillingham will be another test, but the squad is looking good.

The squad has impressed me because they have grown in confidence since the opening day and the 2-2 draw against Fleetwood Town. It’s like those games were matches our players believed we should have won. Therefore, they have the drive to make sure we improve on the performances, and we have.

Notts are looking exciting, and while it’s early days, it’s promising! I hope we can maintain our undefeated start against Gillingham.

I appreciate how Stuart Maynard is showing confidence in trying new things. His lineup wasn’t questionable and could have worked from the start. The pitch and Bromley just needed figuring out, but we got punished. The squad showed quality, and Maynard used the depth to help us get something from it.

I think Stuart Maynard is showing a good understanding of the squad. He can’t be faulted, and it wasn’t due to him that we went 2-0 down. It was partly because of him and Jodi Jones that we came back, as his changes gave Notts more to fight for. The swing of the game became more encouraging as you watched on. The football at times was stunning, and we could have had more than 4 goals, just like Bromley could have had 3.

The squad is coming into its own and really improving its form. An early slip can be overlooked with the impressive comeback, but we need to start steady in away games just like we do at home.
