I think we can, but we need to be mindful of injuries because this is the biggest thing which impacts our performances. I know some fans enjoy criticising Stuart Maynard again, but he's doing well. Yes, we are defensively stronger now, but I do think compared to last season, we are weaker in the striker department, mostly due to not replacing Macaulay Langstaff. Jatta will get goals, but we can't rely on him to involve himself as other strikers might. We have to present him with a good opportunity or hope it works out.

ideally notts will start to pick up results against the top 7, but i think its more an issue with inform teams. league two is proving to be very tight, afc wimbledon might show its more "form" that is the problem rather than the position. then again, it could reveal its the top 7 that we do have problems with. i think they are games where we at least want to be drawing, as this would help when the points turn into a much crucial resource.

I think that January is a big month in the season, where teams strengthen their squad & players leave.

I think that the January transfer window will be a big window for Notts. 

We know that Notts certainly need a new specialist striker, & someone with pace on the wings.

Then there's Dan Crowley who has not yet extended his contract. Will Notts sell him in January before his contract ends?

If so Notts will need another attacking midfielder.
