Connell Rawlinson believes Notts County are a "different animal" this season following their excellent start to the National League season.
The 31-year-old returned for the Magpies in their 2-0 win over Aldershot as a substitute for Richard Brindley, before returning to the starting XI for Notts' fixtures against Dorking Wanderers and York City, playing two full 90 minutes after his long injury lay-off.
Having returned to action sooner than expected due to injuries to Aden Baldwin, Geraldo Bajrami and Brindley, the defender has looked as though he has never been away, putting in a commanding performance that got Notts back to winning ways at the LNER Community Stadium at the weekend.
