Notts County manager Luke Williams believes he is in a much better position now to introduce new players into his system after using the first year to lay the groundwork for his coaching philosophy.
As the Magpies begin to prepare for life back in the Football League, Williams has retained key figures from the promotion season as well as adding four new faces including the high-profile return of David McGoldrick, who scored 25 goals in the division above last term.
No matter the quality of the signings, there is always the initial challenge of integrating them into the team and the system, but Williams takes confidence from the time he has had at the club to establish his philosophy of preparation and playing which has been fed through the pre-existing team.
