Kevin Nolan eager to pit wits against friend John Coleman as Notts County travel to Accrington Stanley

Kevin Nolan is looking forward to pit his wits against his friend John Coleman as Notts County head up to Accrington Stanley for Easter Monday's League Two clash.

The Magpies are preparing for their second consecutive game against promotion-chasing opposition following the goalless draw with Wycombe Wanderers at Meadow Lane on Good Friday.

"I'm really looking forward to pitting my wits against John," Nolan told the official Notts site.

"He is a fantastic fella and someone I enjoy playing against even though he gets the better of me the majority of the time!

"He has got the right people in and they know how to win games. They are all in it together and they do things the right way.

"He has been there for a long time and done fantastically well at that club. They're firing on all cylinders and we have to make sure we are ready.

"We will be analysing their strengths and weaknesses to hopefully come back with a positive result so we can start another run.

"There will be changes because of the turnaround and because we want to keep everyone fit, ready and raring to go. With the squad we have at our disposal, we have the ability to do that."
