Kevin Nolan: 'Callum Saunders and Elliot Hodge can excite the crowds'

Kevin Nolan has praised Notts County summer signings Callum Saunders and Elliot Hodge, suggesting that they are both players who can get crowds excited.

Both players, brought in at Meadow Lane with a view to development, played in the Magpies' 2-1 defeat to Mansfield Town in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday.

“I thought they did really well and I was really pleased with both of them,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post.

“Callum led the line well and ran the channels which is what he is all about.

“He was probably a little bit unlucky not to get a few more chances but he will get better the more and more he does it.

“Elliot did really well especially in the first half. He did lots of good things and when you’ve got two lads who are hungry, decent, and they’ve got pace, it excites the crowds.

“I was delighted with them and they should be pleased with how they performed.”
