Stallard: Not losing any sleep
Notts County could so easily have defeated Wrexham hands-down but a combination of their failure to capitalise on countless opportunities and a brief concentration lapse saw the Magpies leave empty handed as the Red Dragons snatched the glory.

Mark Stallard finished as Notts County's top scorer last season with 25 goals and the fan’s expectations of him are still sky high as the Magpies were defeated for the second time in consecutive league games and the Magpie’s fan favourite is adamant their luck will change.

"It is not something that we are overly worried about, but it is out there," he told the Nottingham Evening Post.

"It is something you think about, obviously.

"We haven't scored in three matches now and it is becoming a problem, I guess, but there is not much you can do about it apart from keep grafting away.

"I am sure it will happen before too long."
