John Sheridan has hailed his side's 2-0 win at Exeter City on Tuesday, putting emphasis on the impressive first-half display which he says "won the game".
The Magpies raced into a two-goal lead, courtesy of Jon Stead's brace which took him to nine goals for the season.
In the second half the Grecians rallied round but Adam Collin pulled off a string of saves to finish the game with a clean sheet.
"It was just good to win a football match," Sheridan told reporters. "In the first half you could see we were a strong outfit.
"We won the game in the first half and when we went 2-0 up I expected us to go on and win the game.
"I wasn't pleased with the way we played in the second half, but I don't want to go into that too much.
"Exeter gave us problems, but there were blocks and Adam Collin did brilliant. There was a real desire to get our first clean sheet.
"But the most important thing was the three points."
The result lifted Notts up to fifth in the table as they secured a third successive win ahead of the visit of Morecambe on Saturday.
