Kevin Nolan: 'Nothing out of the ordinary about Leyton Orient clash'

Kevin Nolan has played down any special significance towards Notts County's weekend fixture at Leyton Orient, describing it as just another game.

The 34-year-old began his managerial career at Brisbane Road in January last year as player-manager but was sacked by owner Francesco Becchetti in April despite his 47 percent win record.

Saturday sees the Magpies gaffer take his side back to his old stomping ground for a relegation six-pointer, with just one point separating the 21st-placed side in League Two and the second-from-bottom O's.

Nolan told the Nottingham Post: "I keep saying it every week, but it's just the next game for us.

"I said to the players that there is not a massive importance because we are playing a team around us. But if we lose this one and then win three on the bounce then this game gets put to bed.

"All we want is consistency, results and to start building a run of good form. We haven't been great away from home and that's something we are trying to put right.

"Obviously there is a bit of history there regarding me and Orient, but that gets put to bed. And if we do our job we give ourselves a great chance of getting three points."
