Notts County new boy Neal Bishop can't wait for the new season to start following his summer move from League Two rivals Barnet.

The Magpies have had the spotlight on them over the last three weeks since former England, Lazio and Benfica manager Sven Goran-Eriksson sensationally joined the club as director of football but Bishop insists the team are ready to get on with the task in hand.

Speaking to the club's official website, he said: You want to impress so you are apprehensive but, by the same token, you're excited because playing football for points again is what you've worked hard for over the last six weeks.

"I don't really like friendly matches, I prefer being involved in the cut-and-thrust of League action.

"I think that is when I'm at my best and I really can't wait to get going."

Ian McParland's side start their campaign against Bradford City at Meadow Lane on Saturday.
