Kevin Nolan: 'Notts County players and fans were great'

Kevin Nolan has hailed his Notts County players for claiming their first League Two win since October against Crawley Town, while also thanking the fans for their support.

Thierry Audel gave the Magpies the lead at Meadow Lane on Saturday before James Collins appeared to have salvaged something for the Red Devils.

However, Jonathan Forte sent the Lane into delirium when he struck at the death and gave the hosts a 2-1 win and all three points to lift them out of the relegation zone.

Nolan told the Nottingham Post: "It feels good. I have to praise the lads because they have taken on board what we have done.

"They were brilliant from one to 13 because the lads who came off the bench played their part too.

"We were together and the performance ensured that we thoroughly deserved what we got.

"I hope the fans enjoyed it and hopefully there will be more of these afternoons to come.

"It's not great for the heart, I must admit. But I am young enough and fit enough to be able to take it.

"The fans really got behind us and it lifted the players. I thank them for that. The players mentioned afterwards it was the first time they had heard it for a while. It's great and hopefully we can continue."
