While last season will live long in the memory of those beleaguered Notts County fans that had become accustomed to disappointment and regret, no-one is expecting the club’s ownership to rest on their laurels at merely ending a four-year exile in the National League.

Head coach Luke Williams has been backed to the hilt since arriving at Meadow Lane a year ago and he delivered an entertaining, possession-based brand of football that smashed records – and was ultimately rewarded with promotion via an unforgettable day out at Wembley.

Other than the anticipated departure of star Portuguese playmaker Ruben Rodrigues, Williams has managed to hang on to the majority of his players and been able to supplement his squad with several key signings, including a return to his hometown club for former Derby County striker David McGoldrick.

Top three will be the aim and few would be surprised if they should go on to achieve that.

I would be inclined to agree; I think our owners are very ambitious and won't rest until we are playing at a higher level. It's interesting to see Dave's thoughts on this. I am also glad that he is covering Notts as I like his style.

I think I will need to get used to not hearing Charlie Slater who I thought was great but I’m sure Dave will do a good job alongside Stall of course.

Dave Bracegirdle will be perfect; he covered while Charlie Slater wasn't doing the coverage many times. I have gotten used to him, and I like the quality of his writing.

Dave Bracegirdle will do well, I'm sure. I listened to his commentary a few times last season, and it was perfectly fine. In fact, I liked his commentary more than Charlie Slater's. However, I do enjoy Charlie's celebrations and banter with Mark Stallard, which can't be replicated.
