Kevin Nolan "delighted" with clean sheet and point for Notts County at Newport County

Kevin Nolan has declared himself "delighted" with a clean sheet and a point from Notts County's goalless draw at Newport County on Saturday but feels the Magpies could have won the game.

A grind of a game at Rodney Parade ended with a share of the spoils as Notts - who had the better of the chances - slipped to fifth in the League Two table.

However, Nolan was happy to see his side shut their opponents out and claim their first clean sheet in nine outings.

“It was a difficult game on a difficult pitch,” he told the Nottingham Post. “But I thought the lads handled that well and defensively they looked rock solid.

“We got a point, and I think we could have had all three with a bit more quality and patience in the final third.

“It was a big week for us but we have got four points from two games which I am really positive about.

“I am delighted with a clean sheet, delighted with a point and we’ve just got to make sure we move on and build on this now.

“If we continue to keep clean sheets then it gives you an opportunity to get a lot of points on the board.”
