Notts County boss Luke Williams explained the reasoning behind the tactical change which saw Jodi Jones and Adam Chicksen swap positions midway through the first half during their win over Woking.
In what proved to be a difficult first period for the Magpies, the Notts head coach deemed it necessary for a change in tactics to break down the compact and resolute Cardinals defence.
The home side were able to turn on the style following the interval, with Sam Austin's brace and substitute Aaron Nemane's second goal of the campaign enough to close the gap to just a point to leaders Wrexham with two games of the season left to play.
