Ryan Yates has stressed that his main role for Notts County is as midfield enforcer, although he wouldn't mind to reach double figures in terms of goals.
The on-loan Nottingham Forest teenager has scored five times so far, making him second-top scorer behind Jorge Grant on 11.
Yates recently hit four goals in five games, including two in the 4-2 victory over Bristol Rovers in the first round of the FA Cup at Meadow Lane.
Despite his purple patch, he remains committed to his role in midfield, breaking up play.
“My dad told me to get 10 goals this year and I was like ‘woah’,” Yates told the Nottingham Post.
“I would love to get double figures because that for a midfielder is unbelievable.
“I know Jorge has already got that, but that would be fantastic for me also.
“But first and foremost my role is to break up the play, but if I can chip in with a few goals then great.
“I’ve had a few chances that I didn’t take and I was a bit gutted not to, so I can’t see why I can’t score more."

Oxford City's director of football has expressed his delight with their FA Cup second-round tie at Notts County being televised.
The National League South club will receive £72,000 as part of the deal, which sees the encounter at Meadow Lane shown on BT Sport 1.
City, who have progressed from the second qualifying round, have already earned £42,500 in the cup so far, and the winner of the game on Saturday 2 December will also pocket a further £27,000.
 “It’s obviously fantastic for us as a club, we’re delighted," Justin Merritt told the Oxford Mail. “We were hopeful of a highlights package, but to get a live game, it makes the world of difference to us.
“We’re a club that are going through a difficult period in its history. We’ve got a debt we’re servicing and we’re working every day trying to clear it all.
"But for us that just makes the sustainability of the football club a lot more achievable.
“It’s not like we will suddenly be investing money in players and so on, but we will look at the whole club, improve the facilities and make sure we can keep going.
“It’s really good to have excitement about the place and we will be talking about some positives rather than how tough it has been.
“We’re delighted. We want to give a good account of ourselves and to pull off another shock would be what dreams are made of.”

Soccer AM used to be a must-watch for all British and British-based football fans. When I was younger, I would get up before 9am and watch Tim Lovejoy, Helen Chamberlain and the rest of the gang serve up an entertaining slice of football pie to get me in the mood for the Saturday afternoon games. It was part and parcel of the whole football package.
But that was then - I've not watched the show for years, and by the sounds of it, many other fans have given up watching it as well. Maybe it's the fact television is no longer the dominant medium and things like "Third Eyes" can be delivered online in the blink of an, ahem, eye. Maybe it's the struggles of making a traditionally un-PC show PC in the current era, or maybe it's something else, but it's definitely not the force it used to be.
For the record, the last time I saw the show, it was a couple of years ago, and there was this rock band on who was playing a game where they had to guess the brand of water from sampling several shots of the stuff, or whether it was from the tap. I found it so cringeworthy I made a mental note never to watch it again.
Last weekend, Soccer AM was mentioned a fair bit by Notts County fans on social media and elsewhere, because six individuals who were supposedly supporters of the club appeared on the show.
Only problem is, the Notts fanbase is a fairly close-knit community where most people tend to know each other, or at least recognise who their fellow supporters are, and nobody had a clue who any of these "fans" were.
Closer inspection found that several of these guys were actually supporters of other teams, like Nottingham Forest, Reading and Sunderland, and needless to say, the Black and White Army was not best pleased.
Chris and I spoke about this at length in (open link) our latest PONcast (close link) and ended up going on a bit of a rant because, as much as the whole debacle has been played down, it's unacceptable.
Since the turn of the century, Notts have been a notoriously difficult team to support. Save for a relatively bright spell between 2009 and 2013 when we were promoted and put in a decent stint in League One, plus a couple of enjoyable cup days out, it's been nothing but misery.
And Notts fans, the real Notts fans, would support their team even though they were getting humiliated by non-league teams on national television, even though they were fighting relegation from the EFL, even though there have been various winding-up orders and, earlier this year, the real fear of the club ceasing to exist.
Now that the ship has steadied, now that there's a good chairman at the club, now there's a good young manager, now the infrastructure is good, now the team's flying high in the league, how have the long-suffering fans been recognised on national TV?
By bringing in a bunch of photogenic "lads" to parade as Notts "fans" despite supporting other teams and not giving the real fans a look-in.
And by the looks of it, it's not like there was a shortage of suitable Notts fans who were keen to go on the show.
Alan Hardy has defended their appearance on the show, even going on himself, and stressed that he had no control, that Sky had the ultimate say over which fans would appear on the show.
But whatever the reasonings were, the fact of the matter is, six guys went on a show claiming to be Notts County fans, all relatively young and photogenic, all wearing either Jake Bugg home shirts or Paragon away shirts and skinny jeans, none recognised by the bulk of the fanbase and several of those seemingly showing support for other teams on their own social media.
And even though it's the kind of thing that shouldn't really be a big deal - given Soccer AM is watched by something like 40 people and a goat nowadays - it feels like a slap in the face to the fans who have suffered for years for the sake of their beloved team, being overlooked in favour of a bunch of phonies.

Alan Hardy has expressed his joy at Notts County's FA Cup second-round tie with Oxford City being selected for TV coverage and is hoping for his club to go further in the competition.
BT Sport will broadcast the game against the National League South side next month which will earn the Magpies £72,000, while the winners of the game will pick up an additional £27,000.
In addition to the benefits from that game, there is also the small matter of the draw for the third round, which could yield a tie against a Premier League giant.
“It is fantastic news for both clubs,” Hardy told the Nottingham Post. “The FA Cup is a magical competition and one I feel very strongly about because of its history and reputation.
“In my mind it is the greatest cup competition in the world for league clubs so to receive this kind of exposure is absolutely brilliant.
“You always hope that it will be your tie that is selected for TV coverage because obviously there is a huge financial benefit.
“The game is worth a lot of money to us and, as I have always maintained, a good cup run can do wonders for a football club, as it did for Lincoln City last season.
“I am sure it is going to be a great day and it is a chance for us to showcase our talent to the nation.
“The Premier League teams all come into the next round and it would be terrific for us to have the chance of securing a memorable day out at one of the elite.
“But we will not be taking Oxford City lightly as they will come here with nothing to lose and everything to gain.”

Elliott Hewitt admits he is disappointed in himself after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season in Notts County's 1-1 draw at Stevenage.
The Welshman was booked in the first half after remonstrating with the referee following a foul on Terry Hawkridge in midfield which preceded a Harry Beautyman effort on the Magpies goal.
The caution means Hewitt will miss the next game, against Cheltenham Town at Meadow Lane.
“I was gutted to get a fifth yellow and it was a bit stupid from me,” he told the Nottingham Post.
“I thought it was a bad challenge from one of their players. I turned around and asked for a free-kick but the referee booked me.
“I am very disappointed on my behalf because I wasn’t the only who did it in the game either. But it was me who picked up the yellow and that’s football.”

Notts County have announced that Colin Slater has been named an honorary vice president of the club.
The 83-year-old worked on his first Notts game in 1959 as a local newspaper journalist, making his BBC Radio Nottingham bow in 1968.
Slater's radio commentating career spanned 49 years and saw him become a club institution and, although he stepped back from those duties earlier this year, he continues to be the station's Magpies correspondent.
"It's difficult to express how honoured I feel that my name will figure next to John Mounteney - a great friend of mine who I miss greatly - whose influence and work behind the scenes was prodigious, and Jack Sewell, who I also got to know well without ever seeing him play," Slater told the official Notts site. "It's something I never thought would happen in my wildest dreams.
"I know all the Notts directors and will know some of the visitors. Equally, I expect to know a number of local people who come as guests because I've fulfilled a number of roles in public life in Nottinghamshire. I've a wide circle of friends and contacts, so I'm looking forward to seeing them."

Kevin Nolan is hoping that Shola Ameobi will not be out for too long but insists Notts County can continue to cope in case he remains absent beyond this weekend.
The veteran striker sat out the 1-1 draw at Stevenage last weekend, failing to make the squad with what is believed to be a groin injury.
Nolan suggested that the injury is minor as he was hoping to have Ameobi back for this Saturday's encounter with Cheltenham Town but will not rush him back to action.
“He’s done really well for us, but that’s why we have the squad we do in that if we do have these niggling injuries, we have people who can come in,” the manager told the Nottingham Post.
“I am hoping Shola isn’t going to be too long. We did the same with Dan Jones when he was injured that we have to make sure he is happy and we give him the genuine care that’s needed.
“He’s a top class pro and hopefully fit for this weekend, but, if not, then we have the squad to hopefully keep it going and working hard to get back to winning ways.”

Richard Thomas has claimed that his family have played a big part in his development as a coach.
The Notts County assistant manager has been a crucial element of Kevin Nolan's side's progress from League Two relegation strugglers to promotion hopefuls.
When asked about who has inspired him, Thomas told the Nottingham Post: “It’s not about one person or one big name manager for me, anybody and anyone can give me something that I can take into practice.
“My brother and sister-in-law are both PE teachers, my other sister is a teacher and they are educators of people.
“My dad is a coach so it’s sort of a family thing. I will lean on them and listening to how they talk and what they say not in their practices maybe, but when we discuss work I will take from them as much as they can give me.
“Whether it’s one little nugget of information I can use on a regular basis, I will take that as much as watching your Klopps, your Mourinhos, your Guardiolas and the world’s best.
“You draw on your own experiences. I played marginally above pub level, but there are managers there that bring so many good values over the course of 19-20 years I’ve been coaching.
“But I was learning things from the under-9s coach at Orient when I was academy manager. It was fantastic.
“He may have been on a course, or got his own mannerisms, which I look at and go ‘that’s a great trait, I am taking that one’.
“I don’t care who it comes from. If it helps me which indirectly helps the players then directly helps the club, then it doesn’t matter where the information comes from.
“Look at the boss (Alan Hardy) in his business field. He’s a great example. I must be able to learn something from him. He may not see it that way in terms of coaching.
“But there must be something he does in his business structure that works on the coaching field, or helps me with my week.
“If it can make you half-a-percent better then those marginal gains are all important.”

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has suggested that Jon Stead could go on to play until the age of 40 and beyond.
The veteran striker impressed for the Magpies in the 1-1 draw against Stevenage at the weekend, massively influencing the team when going forward.
"I think there's a lot of things said about Jon Stead because he is 34 but he doesn't train like he's 34," Nolan is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying.
"He trains every day. He trains with the 19 and 20 year olds and he's never too far behind on all the distances and the speed drills.
"People don't finish at 34 or 33 or 35 no more. They're finishing at 37, 38 and 39 even 40.
"For me he's a top, top pro and that's the reason why he can play and he can do 90 minutes. He's an absolute delight to work with and he's been fantastic.
"He probably hasn't had the goals or got the goals he probably deserved but it's what he's doing for the team. Everyone could see (at Broadhall Way) he's one of our top players on the pitch."

Kevin Nolan has hailed Notts County's mental strength in coming from behind to claim a 1-1 draw at Stevenage on Saturday.
The Magpies fell to a 3-0 defeat at Broadhall Way back in March but were a tougher proposition this time round, Elliott Hewitt cancelling out Danny Newton's opener.
"Back in March we capitulated here after going 1-0 down and we didn't look like getting back into the game,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post.
"But now we have a mentality whereby we want to work our way back into the game and, once we do, go to win it.
"The players are in a good place at the minute and we have to continue working hard and keep doing what we do.
"You saw a lot of quality from us - I am delighted with some of the play."

Notts County have claimed a 1-1 draw in Saturday's League Two encounter at Stevenage.
The Magpies fell behind at Broadhall Way through Danny Newton's 38th-minute strike, but levelled through Elliott Hewitt in the second half.
Stevenage then found themselves repelling numerous attacks from the visitors and were lucky to hold out until the final whistle and ensure a share of the spoils.
Combined with Cheltenham Town's 97th-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Luton Town, the draw ensures Notts remain at the top of the table.
Here is the reaction from Notts manager Kevin Nolan, several players, and the Black and White Army following the game at Broadhall Way.
Kevin Nolan
"We could have won it and I don't think people would have been able to argue if we did. We dominated the second half.
"I was disappointed after the start we made. We were on top in the first 10-15 minutes but took our foot off the pedal a bit and let Stevenage into the game.
"They scored from a third phase from a free-kick which we gave away sloppily so we were disappointed to go in 1-0 down at half-time. We have to stop doing that.
"But we have to respect the point. I'm delighted with the squad. They are where they deserve to be."
Elliott Hewitt
"The first half wasn't good enough today. But in the second half I thought we dominated throughout.
"Maybe we deserved more, but you've got to respect the point away. It's a tough place to come, as we found out last year when we lost 3-0.
"Maybe last season we would have lost that game, starting the way we did, but all the lads stuck together.
"We've got a really good group here and got the draw."

The Notts fans
Nigel Nattrass: A hard-fought point, with Notts showing all the battling qualities and spirit that we’ve come to expect this season. Before the game I would’ve settled for a draw, and I suppose on the balance of things a draw was a fair result. But this was a game that Notts had the lions’ share of in terms of possession and territory, without really being able to open up the oppositions’ defence in the same way they’d done against Newport and Bristol Rovers. Chances for both sides were few and far between, but Notts had the bulk of the half-chances and with a little more incision in and around the box (perhaps with Shola Ameobi available) they may well have come home with all three points.
Stevenage are not by any means the most gifted of teams, but they are hard-working, well-organised, and play to their strengths. They are a physical side, although not exactly the dirty donkeys of a few years ago. But Notts are no shrinking violets of course, so stood up to the physical side and imposed their own game when they could. That meant the game was at times a bit niggly ( I lost count of the yellow cards but I think it was five for Stevenage and three for Notts).
I think for Terry Hawkridge and Ryan Yates this game was a touch too physical. Neither had much impact in the first half, although Hawkridge did shine a bit more after the break, playing a little further forward. In the first half he’d been playing a very rigid role, tucked in to the right of midfield, so wasn’t finding much space on the ball.
Elliot Hewitt's equaliser after about an hour came as a result of a misplaced square pass by a defender. Jorge Grant was fastest to react, collecting the loose ball and playing it inside for the onrushing Hewitt, who coolly picked his spot from just inside the box. The goal gave Notts a big lift and they went on to dominate the last 30 mins.
Grant, Stead, Brisley and Hewitt all went close to putting Notts in front, but couldn’t quite get their efforts on target under pressure from opponents.
We heard the Stevenage manager being interviewed on BBC Three Counties Radio on the way home, and he said he felt it was “a good point” for his team against a good side. No doubt Kevin Nolan is also satisfied with the performance of HIS team.
I am, too... but it's just a shame that we couldn’t turn all that possession into an extra goal. But hey ho....we’re still top of the league and we go again next weekend.
Liampie: Disappointed by the lack of performance in the first half but as Nolan says you got to respect the point. Stevenage it difficult to play for sure and they used their strikers well, I can't help but feel lucky considering their chances.
Chris: I'm also disappointed by the lack of application in the first half, and it did sound like we was considerably lucky at times not be stirring down at a defeat. Though I am delighted with the point which happened through hard work, its just one of those things which we can be thankful for because we still sit in a good position - previously this kind of result would have more concern but I guess we are writing our own luck at the minute. Stevenage clearly did their home work, so I just hope we learn to be quicker to assert our own presence over the opposition and take time to be more alert at the back (as it sounded quite poor at times). This month has some decent fixtures, it's just a shame this result wasn't better for that reason.
Upthepies: It's a good point when you think about the possible outcome. I do understand the frustration mentioned before me, we was poor in the first half but Nolan corrected this within the second half. It just goes to show that the old saying that its a game of two halves bares true. We also had a number of fantastic efforts within the second half, so either team could have won.

This week, the biggest sports news company in the world officially backed Notts County to win the League Two title.
The Sky Sports League Two Predictor believes that the Magpies will finish top of the standings ahead of the likes of Luton Town, Coventry City and the other big sides in the division.
My initial reaction was yet again to pinch myself, as the 2017-18 League Two campaign really has been something much different than previous seasons and it’s something which I hope isn’t just the start – I hope it’s the beginning for more to come.
It also seems like Notts might be turning a small corner in the way that people view the club, I actually feel like we have returned to being the family club we've always strived to be and youngsters are seeming to buy into this also.
Being in a good position for promotion from League Two will naturally help, yet I feel we are becoming a fairly trendy side to support and although I would point out that it’s early days, I actually feel much of this is down to the takeover of Alan Hardy, as without him we wouldn’t have the right type of young manager at the helm.
Kevin Nolan certainly adds a lot of interest and I think this is shown even more so by how he’s linked within various clubs managerial positions.
But yeah, seeing the club tipped for promotion by the sports giant Sky – it seems so surreal.
Even seeing the club return back to first place is something that seems different, as usually we don’t have this much luck – in fact the recent draw against Stevenage would have perhaps seen us fall down the table previously.
Yet we have managed to remain top, even after a fairly frustrating dry spell too – so this says a lot about the current ambitions for the club.
I’ve been saying for a while just how much difference the hard work that goes into the club makes, and if we as fans are right – well, being where we are right in November is an excellent place to be.
Quite a few people have said to me that Notts haven’t given up a lead once we reached this point in the season, and I very much hope they’re right.
Christmas will be the spell where we will know more, yet I have faith that we can maintain pressure on promotion this season. Provided we can continue to grind out results, yet improve and move away from the relapses within the starts to games.
I’m not going to dwell on the route-one stuff, as I feel it’s being said more than enough now but we do look very good passing along the turf.
And as I mentioned earlier, I hope that this point is the beginning for more to come.
I honestly feel like the foundations are good and people care passionately about the club – not just in terms of us fans but the people who continue to restore the pride and traditions of this club.
Stability seems like a long time due, and if we continue to see players recognised within the Team of the Week – along with Kevin Nolan in contention for the Manager of the Month award(s), than surely Sky are onto something with their backing.
Although it’s flattering to be tipped for the League Two title, we still have more than half the amount of games left to be played and that’s a long way to go.
I’m just mindful of the expectations and added pressure, I just feel like it doesn’t change what we left to do. Nolan and his players just have to crack on with each game as they come, whilst avoiding disruption.
I’m quite content to enjoy the roller coaster remaining positive with regards to where we might finish, facts like these are nice but play no motivation towards me getting carried away at all.
