Ian Burchnall believes Notts County's "clinical" display at Southend should stand them in good stead for their next away day against Torquay United.
Burchnall recently challenged his players to improve their "inconsistent" form away from home this season - and the team responded with an impressive 3-0 victory over the Shrimpers at Roots Hall on Saturday. Ruben Rodrigues scored all three goals as he notched up a first career hat-trick and the result made it three wins and a draw from the past four fixtures.
That run started with a 2-1 success on the road at Dagenham & Redbridge - and Notts are now preparing for another trip to the south coast to take on Torquay at Plainmoor this weekend. The Gulls are 11th in the National League table, and the highest-placed side the sixth-placed Magpies have left to face in the regular campaign as they target a play-off spot.
