Kevin Nolan: 'I will reassess Notts County objectives when we're safe'

Kevin Nolan has reiterated that he will only reassess Notts County's goals from the season once safety in League Two is assured.

The Magpies made it eight games unbeaten in all competitions with a 1-0 win away at Crawley Town on Saturday, ensuring that the Magpies remain second in League Two.

Despite talk among fans shifting towards promotion, Nolan insists that it's too early in the season to look ahead all the way to next May when the league reaches its decisive fixtures.

When asked about when he'll look upwards in terms of the table, he told the Nottingham Post: “When we’re safe!

"We’ve got to get 50 odd points as soon as we can, then we’ll start assessing where we want to be.

“We want to be in the higher echelons. We’re riding high at the minute but you can’t get carried away.

“Anytime that happens you can get bitten on the bum. We’ve got to make sure we stay calm.

“You won’t hear me talk about promotion until we get to the end of the season and we’re in a realistic position.

“It’s a fantastic start but that’s all it is. We’ve got to maintain this professionalism and this attitude, the application and the respect they’ve got for each other.

“I’ve just said to them that if they do that they’ll do well in the league this year.”
