I will be happy just to see the club return to football at this point, I think Notts will be fine. There's strength and quality in the camp now, no doubts.

I don't feel there's any prospect of restarting this season. If we put our optimistic hats on and assume the least disruptive scenario - starting next season roughly on time and in the same division - we'd have to be a good bet for top spot. We have a squad of players that has grown together during the season (a big advantage over last summer) who buy into what the manager is trying to do. As we recently acquired new owners, you'd have to assume that they will keep the club afloat to protect their investment, so we should be in a reasonably strong financial position too.

If the situation drags on into the winter, however, all bets are off. Then we could be looking at insolvencies and a significantly changed football landscape with clubs disappearing or merging.

If the season continues it could be difficult, I am sure the players are doing well to keep in shape but this situation would have crept into their minds. You can never replace consistency of playing regularly and then expect it to be picked up.

A new season would see Notts strength and train to go one stage further.
