Notts County goalkeeper Sam Slocombe provided his overarching thoughts on the Magpies' pre-season preparations ahead of the start of the 2022/23 National League season, after winning their final friendly against York City 1-0 on Saturday.
Jim O’Brien scored the winner in the first half with some persistent pressing forcing a mistake before producing a composed finish. At the other end, the home side were restricted to only one effort on target all match, with Slocombe having a very quiet afternoon.
The York trip was the Magpies’ final pre-season game before their National League campaign gets underway on Saturday, August 6, with County back at Meadow Lane to face Maidenhead United. Slocombe said that the team are getting to grips with how he and the coaching staff want them to play, particularly from a defensive standpoint.
