Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County have a “fantastic opportunity” of progressing into the second round of the FA Cup shock when they face Bristol Rovers on Friday.
A shaky October for the Magpies ended on a high note as Jorge Grant and Shola Ameobi struck three unanswered goals between them to claim a 3-0 victory over Newport County on Saturday.
That League Two win at Meadow Lane saw Notts edge back up to the summit of the table and Nolan is hoping that his side can take this momentum into the first-round encounter against the League One side on home soil.
“We now look to the next game which is Bristol Rovers, we’re at home, we’ve got an absolutely fantastic opportunity to get into the next round," Nolan is quoted by the Hucknall Dispatch as saying.
“We’ve made this a fortress and tough for people for come.
“What we will do is hopefully give a good account of ourselves and if we continue to do what we’ve done today and keep that moving, that will give us a fantastic chance of getting into the next round.
“We are not going to be favourites because they’re in a league above, but we can build momentum.”
