I agree with these posters.

Having been watching football for over 55 years I have seen a decade by decade improvement in the standard of football over all the four top divisions and the top tier of non league.

The top six teams challenging for promotion from League 2 this year could easily compete in the 2nd tier of 25 years ago in my opinion.

And I believe the Premier League has lifted this standard all round, although there remains a big gulf between Premier League & the Championship.

We are probably the nearest we will ever be to total football in this Notts side with so many players changing positions on the pitch during the game. We are basically now playing 3-6-0 with the 6 being broken down into several different formations throughout the game and Bostock at times dropping into the back line to collect the ball or for when either Brindley or Cameron move forward.

We still need to strengthen the back line as soon as possible, but this must surely be the top priority now and I’m intrigued as to who it may be.

This is very true, League 2 today is a world away from what it was when we were relegated into it in the late 90s. The standard then is more akin to today's National League.

Some of the players we have and the football we are playing are out of this world, enjoy every minute of it!
