Like @Chris I thought that Stuart Maynard should have been given more time, & I was somewhat unconvinced when Martin was appointed, but I do believe now he was the type of Head Coach along with his personality that Notts needed to take them to the next level. Notts were a good Footballing side under Maynard & Stuart did improve our defence, but his Notts side were bullied out of games on many occasions, & I think that Martin has changed that. Notts are no longer the soft touch that they were. Another big change is Notts being able to win ugly when it's required. Martin has brought a togetherness to the squad where they work hard for each other & never stop running. One of the most important changes that Martin has done is his ability to make changes to the side during a game when it's needed. I thought Stuart tended to make substitutions not to change the game but just to rest players. I don't think the squad is any stronger on paper than it was last season, but it's stronger because the players are playing stronger together as a team, a team of togetherness & I think that's down to how Martin Paterson.leads & installs belief in them.
