Kevin Nolan delighted with Matty Virtue after display against Coventry City

Kevin Nolan has praised midfielder Matty Virtue for his performance against Coventry City.

The on-loan Liverpool youngster was deployed on the right wing, despite the fact he usually plays in the centre of the park, in the 2-1 win over the Sky Blues.

Virtue, who had received criticism prior to Saturday's League Two game, produced an impressive performance and was rightly lauded by the fanbase.

“I thought Matty Virtue was very unfortunate because in every game he plays he usually gets a chance,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post..

“He didn’t get one on Saturday, but I was delighted for him because I thought he played very well.

“He’s got a bit of Jorge about him in that he will get good opportunities. And I must say Jorgie looked back to his old self in that he did lots of hard work off the ball. But Matty was fantastic all game and so was Jorge.”
