The morning after the night before. Waking up to the realisation that Notts have actually done it. We are now League One. It's a completely different ball game. We are now going to mix it with some of the big boys of English football. We are only a possible season away from Championship Football. Of course, we shouldn't try to run before we can walk in League One, but it is nice to believe in the possibilities.

Don't forget, we have a couple of shrewd owners who will have planned for this moment for a long time. They will have already done lots of research for the type of players that they will need to progress out of League One.

Lots of fans will be pleased just to consolidate Notts's position in a higher league next season & then look to push on, however the Reedtz brothers have been able to foster steady progress since our promotion from the National League, League 2 & now into League One.

Something tells me that the brothers will want to try to make a mark in League One from the outset. It's is certainly going to be an exciting close season with movement in & out of the Club, but I do think that the majority of the players that we saw in the playoff squad will remain with some quality additions. For now, I'll finish how I started & say "Good Morning League One".

Fantastic stuff! One of the great Wembley days tbh. Felt confident from the start and that pitch, in those conditions, was always going to be too much for the physical, “squeeze the opposition” style of play that Salford use on their own patch.

If you give Norburn & Robertson room & time on the ball, they’ll punish you. If you have a rejuvenated and confident Jones running at you and having time to float passes around, you’ll struggle. Defensively Salford were all over the show and simply couldn’t cope.

Anyway, L1 is a different proposition with some quality teams in it. We need to look at strengthening the squad and trying to find a bit more genuine pace in the ranks.

I’m not sure that all of yesterday’s match 16 are up to L1 and we may lose the 2 loanees, for starters, of course. Still, onwards & upwards. We are promoted with momentum and confidence and the coaching staff appear to be learning, quickly, on the job.

Yoop Eyes.

It's wonderful to be back in League One, but the first thing we'll have to do is consolidate. I've been thinking about who can fill the bottom four spots rather than the Championship!

This division has changed a lot in the last 11 years, some of the riches from higher up the leagues have filtered down and clubs like Huddersfield and Leicester have a wholly different financial foundation to build on. If we're to compete at the right end of the division, we'll have to compete with rivals that can afford to spend seven-figure transfer fees. For now I just want to be competitive and would gladly take a place in the middle third of the table.

There's probably little prospect of keeping Iorpenda and Luker as they'll be playing for their parent clubs, so we'll need someone to fill their boots and the number 10 spot we never quite successfully filled this season. I suspect some of the players on the fringes of the squad may be sacrificed to make room. Then of course there are the players who are out of contact (Tsaroulla, Platt, McDonald), what happens there? I think this forum is in for a busy summer!

But it's fantastic to be back. I've got every confidence in the powers that be to make the right calls this summer so we can build on this season with an added injection of quality. Who knows, we might even get a point against Mansfield!
