Notts County tipped for successful campaign as pre-season preparations start strongly

Notts County have emerged as the bookmakers' second favourite for promotion after falling short in the play-off's last campaign. Suffering late heartache against eventual winners Grimsby Town, manager Luke Williams will hope to guide his side into the EFL after Ian Burchnall's departure.

Recording victories against Basford United, Leicester City and Alfreton Town thus far, the Magpies still have tough tests to come before the start of the new National League season, with all of Cambridge United, Boston United and Nottingham Forest still to come.

But with many sites seeing County as a potential early frontrunner, Williams' side are as short as 7/1 and 13/2 in some places, with only Wrexham ahead of them in terms of odds at present. With work still yet to be done, six new faces have arrived at Meadow Lane so far, with more names still rumoured to be of interest for the club too.
