Hunt confident in County's defence

Stephen Hunt believes Notts County can take encouragement from their defensive record last season when they kick off the 2008/9 campaign

The Magpies conceded just 53 goals in League Two last term and Hunt believes that should provide a solid platform to build on when the new season gets under way in August.

"I think everyone who has been involved in defence has done really well," he told the club's official website. "Everyone defended well. When you look at the stats we haven't lost that many games by anything more than the odd goal and it is good to be part of that.

"It is certainly something we can look to build on next season."
