Notts County Football Club has opened up voting for their player of the season, following an impressive campaign in the National League 2022/23 season. The club has two remaining league games in the regular season and secured 2nd place on 25th March 2023 with a superb 4-0 win over Scunthorpe United.
Their journey to the playoffs was not without its challenges, as seen in their closely contested matches against Boreham Wood and Gateshead, both of which resulted in draws back in August 2022. This placed Notts in 6th in the National League 3 games into the season, with Barnet and Chesterfield sitting joint top on 7 points.
After 8 games undefeated, Notts lost in a shock result to Dorking Wanderers on 17th September 2022. The semi-professional club based in Surrey defeated Notts at their home ground Meadow Bank 3-1, courtesy of a James McShane hat-trick.
Notts then pushed on, forming another successful undefeated run of 25 games, defeating promotion rivals Wrexham at Meadow Lane 1-0, Wealdstone 1-6 at Grosvenor Vale, and Dagenham & Redbridge 5-0 away at Victoria Road.
So far, Notts have scored 111 goals and conceded only 39, hitting the 103 mark, with a potential 109 points remaining. The National League title is still yet to be claimed, despite Wrexham having a game in hand and sitting on 104 points.
One standout player for Notts County this season was left-back Adam Chicksen, who has scored 10 goals and put in many stellar performances. Forwards Macaulay Langstaff and Ruben Rodrigues are also in good contention as the players have scored a combined 58 goals, 41 of which were scored by the player fans dubbed the "Non-League Harland".
In addition to signings such as John Bostock, who scored a brilliant free-kick in their match against Wrexham on 3rd January, the goal gave Notts County the lead, but Wrexham managed to come back and secure a 3-2 victory.
Consistent players throughout the 2022/23 season include Matt Palmer, who is the heartbeat within the Magpies' midfield. Cedwyn Scott, who has scored 14 goals, mostly featuring from off the bench due to the tactical formation of head coach Luke Williams. Sam Austin is currently in superb form on the back of scoring a brace against Woking.
As the oldest professional association football club in the world, Notts County has a long and storied history. They will be hoping to add to that history by securing promotion to the English Football League in the upcoming season.
The club's fans have until the end of the season to vote for their player of the season, and the winner will be announced at the end-of-season awards ceremony.
