Gareth Ainsworth: 'Notts County in good hands with Alan Hardy'

Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has claimed that Notts County are "in good hands" with Alan Hardy as their owner and Kevin Nolan as head coach.

The Chairboys, dark horses for a League Two playoff spot, will be welcoming the Magpies to Adams Park on Saturday.

Ainsworth is impressed with how Notts have turned their season around since Hardy took over the club, admitting that they are a "totally different" side to the one that lost 2-0 at Meadow Lane in December.

"Kevin Nolan has injected spirit and desire into the club, and the owner is very passionate about the club; he has a vision and they are in good hands with him," Ainsworth told the Chairboys official site.

"We have a good chance to impose ourselves at home on Notts County, but they will be scrapping.

"With Newport picking up a point in midweek it makes sure it is definitely not dead and buried at the bottom so we will be wary of Notts County coming to us.

"It will be a totally different Notts County to the one we faced in December, but I'm hoping we are a different Wycombe than what it has been just after Christmas."
