Kevin Nolan: 'Notts County exceeding expectations and enjoying ride'

Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County have exceeded expectations so far this season and is eager for the players to just continue as they're doing and enjoying the ride.

The Magpies continue to sit top of League Two after more than a third of the way into the season, with 37 points - two more than second-placed Luton Town - from their first 18 games.

“When I first walked in in January, we wanted a very good season this year and we wanted to sustain what we produced at the end of last season," Nolan told the Nottingham Post.

“We wanted to get into the middle third and then next year to have a real go for promotion or the play-offs.

“All pressure is off us in that respect. We are having a fantastic run and enjoying where we are.

“We are embracing the position and if we can keep on doing that, keep winning, then who knows, we might get promoted.

“But we are 17-18 games in and there is a long way to go yet. All we can do is enjoy it while we are here, keep working hard and hopefully maintain what we are doing.”
