Despite the disappointment of potentially handing Wrexham the National League title on Monday, Notts County responded in the only way they know how - by winning.
The Magpies made it 31 National League wins in a season with their comfortable 3-0 win over Woking on Saturday evening - bettering the club record of 30 achieved in Division Four during the 1970/71 season.
It's just the latest record Luke Williams' side has managed to obliterate this season, with many hoping with the help of those around them, can cap this record-breaking season off in the one automatic promotion spot in two weeks' time.

Here is a look at the key talking points from the win at Meadow Lane...
Super Sam Austin
Somehow, Sam Austin continues to get better with every passing game, and yesterday was no exception as he produced yet another Man of the Match display in front of the home supporters.
Having been used as an impact player from the substitutes bench, Austin was selected to start in place of Jim O'Brien from the defeat at Wrexham on Monday - instantly providing that creative spark in the final third with neat interchange between his full-backs and almost providing Macaulay Langstaff with an opportunity inside the opening 10 minutes with a dinked cross to the back post.
The midfielder was at the heart of everything good the Magpies produced in a below par first half showing, seeing his goal-bound shot late on repelled by Kacper Lopata with appeals of handball waved away by Scott Jackson.
But it took just 10 second-half minutes for Austin to finally grab the goal he had threatened all afternoon, rounding off a fine move down the right-hand side to sweep home Matty Palmer's cross first time into the roof of the net to relieve the tension building inside Meadow Lane.
Austin then turned provider as Magpies fans have seen him do so much this season, taking his assist tally to 14 for the campaign as his dangerous delivery into the area was controlled by Nemane and bundled over Will Jaaskelainen - Palmer on the line just to make sure.
And it was only right that Austin would round off the scoring just four minutes later, taking on Cedwyn Scott's pass between the defenders before finishing calmly in front of the KOP to move himself on to eight goals for the season in all competitions.
The 26-year-old has proved time and time again how invaluable he is to this special group of players, continuing to show that should players leave the club in the summer he is more than capable of becoming a pivotal figure under the guidance of Notts' head coach.
To adapt and overcome
After a difficult first-half against a tough opposition, this group of players proved once again they have the capabilities to adapt and overcome any side that is presented before them.
The visitors came to Meadow Lane with the third-best away record in the league - only behind Notts and Wrexham and had a clear game plan in trying to disrupt the midfield in which the Magpies produce the abundance of their creativity.
Woking's ferocious pressing was highlighted by Williams ahead of the encounter, and it was able to disturb the likes of John Bostock and Palmer from dictating the game early on - often forcing the hosts to play long which played right into the hands of the visitors while also creating chances of their own as Kyran Lofthouse came close twice in a sustained spell of pressure during a 15-minute spell for the visitors.
However, to continually keep up that type of pressure and aggression against a side that enjoys almost 70% possession in every game, Woking were always going to tire and that eventuality came just 10 minutes into the second-half when Austin managed to find space inside the area to curl home the opener.
From then on, Bostock and Palmer were able to find their groove and impose themselves on proceedings - a combination of passing precision and composure in possession had Williams' side purring as they managed to overcome a difficult first-half to produce a comfortable victory in the end.
Another quiet afternoon
It proved to be another frustrating afternoon for Langstaff at Meadow Lane as he equalled his season's longest period without a goal - two games to put that into perspective.
But as we saw at Wrexham on Monday, the National League's leading marksman was often a passenger in proceedings, feeding off scraps with his team-mates unable to feed the balls in behind the defence that he has thrived off this season, but that is huge credit to the way Woking played.
Ahead of kick-off, Williams highlighted The Cardinals' aggressive and ferocious style of play when pressing the ball, and that was evident once again throughout the entirety of the game as the back three were forced to go long on several occasions, playing right into the hands of the Woking defence who had the obvious height advantage over Langstaff.
The deliveries from the wide positions were underwhelming during the first half, with both Jodi Jones and Adam Chicksen unable to penetrate the Woking defence - Williams switching the pair midway through the first-half which had little effect until the second half.
While Notts improved after the interval, their number nine was still unable to fashion a clear-cut opportunity before being substituted with 20 minutes to go - a well-deserved break having played 10 consecutive 90 minutes and scoring nine goals during that time.
The weight of expectation and goals have fallen onto the shoulders of the 26-year-old in recent weeks given the absences of Junior Morias and Scott, but their inclusion and appearances during the win yesterday, give Williams yet another option to call upon for the remaining games of the season.
Keeping the pressure on
With league leaders Wrexham playing earlier in the day, it would have been difficult to take one eye off the early kick-off to see how the encounter at The Hive played out.
Having dropped points to Dean Brennan's side last month, Notts knew more than most the difficulty of leaving Barnet with all three points - once again proven yesterday afternoon.
Callum McFadzean saw red early in the second half for a late challenge on goalkeeper Laurie Walker, with the hosts unable to make the man advantage count as Phil Parkinson's side held on to claim a point in north London.
But the Wrexham boss had his say following the full-time whistle, shown a straight red card after approaching the Barnet keeper meaning a presumable touchline ban will follow - seeing him miss the final three games of the season.
The Magpies provided the perfect response in brushing aside fourth-placed Woking to move to within a point of the leaders - winning their remaining games and keeping the pressure on is all they can do with the hopes of a little help from Yeovil, Boreham Wood, or Torquay along the way.
