Kevin Nolan "absolutely delighted" with Notts County win over Cheltenham Town

Kevin Nolan has declared himself "absolutely delighted" with Notts County's 3-1 win over Cheltenham Town on Saturday.

A Jorge Grant brace either side of a Carl Winchester daisy-cutter and a Shaun Brisley header saw the Magpies run out comfortable winners.

Other results also went County's way and resulted in them sitting two points clear at the top of the League Two table come 5pm.

"I'm absolutely delighted with the three points and I thought they were well-deserved," Nolan told the official Notts site.

"You're seeing things which we're trying to recreate from the training ground, like passing patterns, which make the lads feel more familiar when they are in those positions on a matchday.

"They are taking a lot on board. I'm delighted with some of the play in the last few weeks and there's still more to come."

Speaking about Cheltenham's performance, Nolan added: "They had a couple of chances after half-time which I wasn't too happy about but we got away with it.

"They had a lot of threats, which we dealt with very well. They're a big side who put the ball in good areas, do all the right things and play some good stuff at times.

"Their goal was excellent, although it was poor from our point of view.

"But the way we responded in the second half was brilliant - hats off to the lads. We now need to follow up that performance with another one down at Yeovil on Tuesday night.

"We're going to have to be at that standard again if we are to get three points."
