Luke Williams explained it was a tough decision to leave midfielder Sam Austin out for Notts County in their comfortable 3-0 win over Maidstone on Friday evening.
The 25-year-old was the standout player for the Magpies in their FA Cup defeat to Coalville Town last week, scoring twice but was named on the bench for Notts' return to National League action.
Austin replaced Cedwyn Scott in the 66th minute at Meadow Lane and produced another solid display, keeping possession of the ball as his side looked to see out win.
