Neal Ardley has set Notts County a target of charging their way back towards the playoffs during the festive period after they secured their first National League victory since October.
The Magpies roared to a 4-2 win at Halifax at the weekend as they came from behind on two occasions to seal a stunning victory in a fabulous performance.
Kyle Wootton and Mitch Rose both helped themselves to a brace at the Shay where the win lifted Notts to within four points of the top seven.
With a busy festive period ahead of them, which sees them play Maidenhead twice with a trip to Solihull Moors in between, Notts know a good run can catapult them back into contention.
Ardley has set his side a target of what they must achieve in terms of points from those games, but would not divulge what it was.
“We know we have a tough Christmas schedule, but this win will only be good if we can get something out of the home game on Boxing Day,” he said.
“It gives us a lift going into those two games in three days.
“Myself and the staff have set ourselves a points target that, hopefully, come January 4 after the Bromley game, will see us right in touch with the playoffs.
“That’s our aim.”
