Kevin Nolan eager for Notts County to shut out Crewe Alexandra

Kevin Nolan has urged Notts County to shut out Crewe Alexandra and believes his players are "up for the fight" on Tuesday night.

The Magpies have returned to the top of League Two following their 2-1 win over Barnet at the weekend, leapfrogging Exeter City back into top spot.

However Nolan, who will be without the injured Adam Collin for the trip to Gresty Road, has warned his players about the quality within the Railwaymen's squad.

"Crewe have a lot of good young players who will be hungry to prove themselves and David Artell is a good manager," he told the official Notts site.

"We'll be going there to try and shut them out because they have some good individuals. They play really well and want to do things the right way.

"If we go there and let them play, they will hurt us.  We have to be up for the fight - but I'm sure they will be too.

"When you're winning games, you want the next one to come along as quickly as possible and that's the mentality our lads need to have."
