"If I smell somebody feeling sorry for themselves, there will be a problem and you won't play," were the words of Luke Williams to his Notts County players following his side's 1-1 draw away to Barnet.
The Magpies were forced to rue several missed opportunities in a dominant first-half display, with Macaulay Langstaff taking his total to 37 goals for the campaign, only for Idris Kanu to equalise in first-half injury time to further boost their own promotion push.
With the point, Notts find themselves three points adrift of leaders Wrexham following their 2-1 win away to Bromley this afternoon, with this weekend's results feeling as though it will have huge significance in the title race.
