Kevin Nolan has claimed that there is more to come from Notts County in terms of performances following their exhilarating 4-2 win over Bristol Rovers.

Although the Pirates powered into a two-goal lead early on in Friday's FA Cup first-round encounter at Meadow Lane, the hosts turned it around in swashbuckling style.

Ryan Yates' quickfire brace brought Notts level in the first half before Jon Stead and Jorge Grant completed the turnaround, though it could have been more for the Magpies.

"We were disappointed to lose the goals in the way we did but the reaction, attitude and application showed the camaraderie we have," Nolan told the official Notts site.

"Some of the football we played shows how much hard work we have been putting in on the training field.

"My lads are now starting to hit the heights I believe they can get to and I still think there is a lot more to come.

"We have to make sure we keep our feet on the ground. We can enjoy it because these nights are magical when you win against a team in a league above.

"Sometimes you win these games because you have held in there with grit and determination but tonight these lads deserved what we got and I am delighted for them.

"We're still learning but what we have got is guts and determination - and that is massive.

"All I want now is a home draw in the next round because if we get that, we feel we can take anyone here."
