Notts County manager Ricardo Moniz has urged his team to train like ‘every day is their last’ in a bid to improve their form away from home in League Two. The Magpies’ record at Meadow Lane is impressive enough, with six wins and a draw out of 10 games, but on the road it’s a completely different story, with just one win out of nine.

We find ourselves lying 16th in the table following a series of poor displays interspersed with the off half-decent performance, which seems to suggest a rate of progress going along at one step forward followed by two steps back. And given the tools we have at our disposal and what we’re up against, that
