Kevin Nolan hails "another great team performance" by Notts County

Kevin Nolan has hailed "another great team performance" by Notts County in their 1-0 win over Barnet, adding that they reacted well after Mark Yeates's early red card.

Matt Tootle's second-half goal proved the difference between the two sides at Meadow Lane on Sunday, but the Magpies were made to work for it after Yeates was controversially sent off.

Nolan told the OS: "It was another great team performance. If anything, the red card sparked us into life - the reaction from the lads was fantastic.

"I thought if anyone was going to go on and score again it would be us. The lads stuck together and everything you want from your team was on show today.

"What we have to do now is follow it up with another win. We've been up and down and that’s something we need to sort out.

“We’re not safe yet, I’ll keep saying that, but we’re looking up and we have brought a group of teams closer towards us."

Nolan also praised the owner, saying: "I think what Alan Hardy has done is brilliant. There were another 7,000 here today and I think they got their money’s worth.

"Alan has done so well off the field, getting the embargo lifted and enabling us bring in six players.

"At this minute in time it’s about taking it game by game, getting as many points on the board as quickly as possible and getting to safety.

"Then we can talk about moving forward and starting the adventure Alan and I believe we can take this club on."
