Kevin Nolan has praised Notts County following their impressive 1-0 win at Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday night, describing their showing as "a perfect performance".

Loanee Jorge Grant grabbed his third goal in four games in the first half at Home Park as the Magpies more than matched their opponents, who are looking to secure promotion from League Two.

The result puts Notts eight points clear of the bottom two and a step closer to safety, when a month ago it looked like they were standing on the brink of oblivion.

"It was a perfect performance," Nolan told the Nottingham Post.

"It could have been three, four or even five as we created plenty of chances. We also handled them well when they were going forward and we kept another clean sheet.

"They (the players) were fantastic because we haven't been able to get out on the pitch much with the travelling and so on.

"It was all about being in the classroom and everything we said to them they took it all on board. I was delighted with their output."

Kevin called the tactics right yesterday, after reading comments on Twitter - I did worry that we had setup to park the bus (or do a Yeovil as a few suggested). The performance may be one we look back on and say this is where we pushed on and secured our league status, very confident right now - Kevin Nolan is a fantastic find for us.

Great result yesterday also.

Again as I said before baby steps with the 0-0 draw that must have given confidence to team and manager. That's a massive 3 points for us and welll deserved. One game at a time now survival is all that counts. Great win and 3 points on wards and upwards. Well done you pies.
