I will give credit where credit is due. It was a great team performance against Barnsley. The performance demonstrated that the squad as a whole is improving under the guidance of Head Coach Martin Paterson.

Martin Paterson is going to have a selection headache but I believe that is a good thing.

The positives from last night were some very good performances from players who haven't had a regular spot in the starting eleven, & from players who haven't featured at all.

Will Jarvis came on in the 2nd half & basically changed the game in Notts favour with the help of Nick Tsaroulla.

Jaden Luker & Tyrese Hall were also a revelation last night & both demonstrated that they are both worth an opportunity in the starting eleven, so did Keanan Bennetts.

Harry Griffiths played between the sticks and didn't do anything wrong, & was only beaten by great finishing from the Barnsley striker.

Lucas Ness played a full game in defence & slotted in next to Macari & Bedeau & all three played well as a unit which gives Martin more options.

Academy player Harrison Iwunze came on for Jatta & looked very lively & was very unfortunate to have a goal disallowed.

Martin Paterson was looking for commitment, hard work, & an ability to take an opportunity when given & all of those players looking to impress did so. No wonder Paterson was pleased at his post match presser.

I’ve got to agree with everything you said there @Robbie the fringe players all gave a strong performance and this is great news for Notts, it shows what a strong squad we have with genuine competition for places in the starting 11.

The players just need to keep up the performances consistently, it’ll be interesting to see Martin’s team selection for Saturday.
