Kevin Nolan: 'Notts County performance at Brentford warranted the result'


Joe Jones

A delighted Kevin Nolan has praised Notts County's players for overcoming Championship side Brentford 1-0 in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

Despite playing two divisions above, the Bees were put to the sword as Jon Stead's superb second-half winner sealed the Magpies' passage to the fourth round of the competition.

The draw for the next round will take place on Monday evening, with the possibility of a leading Premier League side being lined up to face Nolan's high-flyers.

“I am delighted with the performance and it warranted the result,” he told the official Notts site following the win at Griffin Park.

“You have to ride your luck when you come to quality teams and those sides who are above you and we did have that little bit of luck, but when you have the attitude, application and dedication to keep a clean sheet, then you earn it.

“I am delighted for the boys because they have not been given the credit they deserve for what they have done in such a short space of time.

“Hopefully we can continue on that path and I hope they all go away and enjoy this day because they don’t happen very often in your career.

“They are going to experience highs and lows, but this is one of the highs. I am thrilled for every one of them.”

It's a great result, it means we can add more to our coffers and if we can get a big team (preferably at Meadow Lane) it means we have an extra income source for a little longer.

This is exactly what we need at this point.
