Home comfort for Scott and he’s aiming high for next season
MIDFIELDER Scott Robertson is already looking forward to next season with Notts County, saying he has “found a new football home”.
The 22-year-old returned to the starting line-up for the 1-0 home win over Colchester United in League Two on Saturday after missing the wins over Harrogate Town and Walsall due to injury.
Robertson arrived at Meadow Lane in December just before previous head coach Luke Williams departed for the vacant role at Championship club Swansea City.
It was a tough situation for Robertson to come into on the pitch after he arrived from Fleetwood Town, as the Magpies won only two of the first 14 games he was involved in.
Despite that, the Scotsman has found settling in at Notts an easy process and his excitement for next season is already brewing.
“It’s about making a good case for myself in this team given we’re at the end of the season now,” said Robertson.
“The last few results have been okay after the form in February and March, which has let us down in the end.
“The last five have been good for the most part and, hopefully, we can take some of that positive momentum into our preparations for next season.
“I’m excited to be in with the club from the start of the season and, hopefully, we’ll be fighting at the top end of the table come the end.
“I feel like I’ve settled now and found a new football home but, at the same time, the results on the pitch haven’t been the best.
“It’s been a weird experience in that sense but from a personal perspective I’m really happy to be here and excited to, hopefully, push on next year.”
The Magpies have now won three of the last four as head coach Stuart Maynard begins to get a tune out of the team consistently after a tough couple of months to begin his tenure.
“I thought we were pretty dominant against a good Colchester side,” Robertson added.
“From the start of the game, we dominated the ball and that continued for long spells throughout the game.
“It was frustrating to pick up the knock at the time that I did within the season but it was good to be back out there again and to help the team pick up a good win.
“I’d like to think that I can do both sides of the game really well and I think I’ve shown that over the last few months in spells.”
