If you watched Friday night’s League One Play-Off Semi-Final between Stevenage Borough and Sheffield United without feeling even the slightest hint of jealousy then I can only applaud you.
But for me, the feeling that overcame me the most was quite simple – it should have been us.
In the first of three blog posts this weekend looking back at the past nine months in nPower League One, I’ve been flicking through various statistics and have put the best of the lot together here.
It goes without saying just how much better the 2011/12 season was compared to the one that came before it – but it never hurts to appreciate just how much better!
No matter how much you convince yourself a Notts win over Colchester will leave you content – that final whistle still hits you like a sledgehammer.
Regardless of that though there was still great pride to be taken from the final game as they ran out comfortable 4-1 winners on a strange Meadow Lane afternoon.
In a first for The Notts Blog, i’ve put together a video aimed at opening up a discussion about Notts County’s best goal of the past season – in all competitions.
Minds are likely already made up on which goal you thought was the best – but whilst we continue to dwell on dropped points and missed chances this season, it’ll be worth a watch if only just to cheer ourselves up!
With the end of the season will also come the end of more than a handful of Notts County careers.
This Summer will see a clearout of as many as 15 playing staff – from established pros at the club to youths who were only last year offered professional terms. Looking at the list – you can’t imagine more than three or four at most having new deals during the close-season.
With just two games left to play of the season, you’d be forgiven for thinking the campaign might’ve been done with Notts County and epic battles.
Saturday’s win at Wycombe destroys such a notion.
