Kevin Nolan has found himself beaming once again after yet another impressive Notts County display and result in Saturday's 2-1 win over Carlisle United.
It looked like the Magpies' winning run would come to an end at Brunton Park when substitute Jabo Ibehre put the Cumbrians ahead and the clock began to tick over into the 80s.
However, Jon Stead drew Notts level in the 85th minute before Matt Tootle struck a winner heading into injury time to make it four wins on the trot for Nolan's boys.
The result not only all but confirmed League Two safety, with 13 points' distance between the 15th-placed Magpies and second-from-bottom Newport County with just 15 points left to play for, but with just 10 points between Notts and the top seven, there is even talk of an audacious tilt at the playoffs.
"The away form is looking a lot better now and a lot healthier since I came in," Nolan told the Nottingham Post. "I thought we thoroughly deserved the points and I thought we handled them really well.
"I was a bit disappointed with the goal we conceded. I thought we could have cut it out a lot earlier.
"I was delighted with the reaction of all the boys and then from the lads who came on. Their attitude and application when they came on to the pitch was just brilliant. That's why you have a squad and that's why I talk about it all the time."
