Notts County boss Luke Williams was full of praise for defender Geraldo Bajrami following his display off the bench against Eastleigh, having been dropped in midweek.
The 23-year-old started the Magpies' win over Dorking last Saturday but found himself back amongst the substitutes following the return of Aden Baldwin, who had served his two-game suspension.
But with ten second-half minutes gone, the Notts chief was forced to call upon the Albanian to step into the action with his side a goal down against the Spitfires - despite captain Kyle Cameron amongst his reinforcements.
