Kevin Nolan hails "absolutely fantastic" Notts County players

Kevin Nolan has described his Notts County charges as "absolutely fantastic" after their 2-1 home win over Cheltenham Town on Saturday.

The Magpies moved three points clear of League Two's relegation zone as Jon Stead and Richard Duffy scored, while Manny Onariase's late strike did not prove more than a consolation in the end.

Nolan told the official Notts site: "I've got to take my hat off to the boys - they were absolutely fantastic.

"We created a lot of chances, which is very pleasing, and hopefully we can now start to chip away at the goal difference we've inherited over the last few months.

"The more games we win, the more the confidence comes back.

"Attention now turns to the next game. We've got to make sure we're professional and ready for Tuesday (against Exeter City).

"It's going to be another tough one and it's about building momentum."
