Kevin Nolan: 'Mansfield Town are no mugs'

Kevin Nolan is looking forward to Saturday's League Two derby between Notts County and Mansfield Town but warns that the opposition are "no mugs".

Both sides are in the hunt for automatic promotion this season, with the Magpies hoping to make it four games unbeaten, deal a big blow to a direct promotion contender, and claim regional bragging rights.

Although the game will be the first Nottinghamshire derby for new Stags manager David Flitcroft, Nolan is still mindful of their strong squad and will treat them with respect.

“It’s going to be really tough for us because Mansfield have got a fantastic squad, team and all of that,” he told the Nottingham Post.

“They are no mugs and we know that. We will respect them like we always do and if you do that, you give yourselves a good chance of getting a result.

"We are really looking forward to it.”
