No, I'm not getting ahead of myself in thinking that Notts might get promoted, we will find that out in due course. I'm wondering if Notts are totally ready to compete in League one if they are fortunate enough to go up.

My big worry is that Notts have struggled to win against the top 12 sides in League 2 this season. I believe Notts have only won 3 of those games. Notts may manage to get promotion despite that record, but would they be ready to meet the tougher challenge of League 1?

Promotion to League 1 will be a whole new ball game & a big step up in level. There will need to be a big recruitment drive for new players, & Notts may also need to sell on players from the current squad.

Mansfield made a good start to the season but fell away, & subsequently struggled to get results in the middle third of the season, & even now their results haven't really improved. They should be safe though & finish just below mid table.

If Notts do go up, & that's a big if, I think that the first season in League 1 would have be a season of consolidation. A mid table finish would be an excellent result for Notts.
