NOTTS County are not on the slide, says Alan Judge.
But he has warned the Magpies must start turning draws into wins.
Notts slipped down to tenth place in League One, after being held to their fourth successive away league draw at Shrewsbury Town on Boxing Day.
It was their fifth draw in seven league games in total – and Judge said: "That's too many.
"I want to win every game and so does everyone else.
"We never go out and sit back for a point like some teams, we always go out and attack.
"We've been in good positions in a couple of those games so it's frustrating we've not won them.
"But if you look at it, we're still only three points off the play-offs so I'm pretty confident and I'm looking forward."
Judge set up both of the Magpies' goals in their 2-2 draw at Shrewsbury in front of his family, who flew over from Ireland and were in the away end. Notts led 2-1 until the Shrews scored a freak equaliser on 81 minutes.
"It's hard to take because we absolutely batter them and yet we've come away with a draw," added Judge.
"It should have been a win, we should have won easily.
"They had one shot in the first half and scored and their second goal wasn't even a shot, it was a cross!
"It was like we'd lost in the dressing-room after the game.
"No one can say we didn't play well, I think it's the best we've played for quite some time.
"We scored two goals and you'd think that would be enough."
