Kevin Nolan: 'Notts County brilliant from start to finish'

Kevin Nolan has hailed his Notts County charges as being "brilliant from start to finish" against Swindon Town but insists he will keep his feet on the ground despite their lofty league position.

The Magpies beat the Robins 1-0 at Meadow Lane on Tuesday night, with Jon Stead rattling home a penalty in the first half, and the win sees them up to second in League Two.

"I thought we were brilliant from start to finish," Nolan told the official website. "Everyone who stepped in tonight was fantastic.

"Swindon threw everything at us. They're a good side and have won their last three on the road - that's where they pick up most of their points.

"So we knew it was going to be a difficult task tonight, but overall I thought we were deserved winners.

"This was another fantastic win and, you know me, I love my clean sheets. I don't think any of the players could be marked below seven out of 10 today.

"The table never lies, but I'm not going to look at it now. We've got to get to safety first.

"We were in a similar position last season so we've got to make sure we don't get carried away. This isn't a forgiving league. If you start thinking you've made it, it can bite you on the backside.

"It's really important we continue to work hard and believe in what we're doing. I feel we've still got plenty to come, which is hugely satisfying for me."
