Kevin Nolan: 'Notts County players can forget days off if they let standards drop'

Kevin Nolan has warned his Notts County players to forget about days off if they let standards drop in the final three games of the season.

The Magpies were mathematically assured of League Two safety on Easter Monday, despite losing 3-1 to Portsmouth at Meadow Lane.

However, the defeat also meant that the playoffs - very unlikely in the first place - were now out of reach, which effectively turns the rest of the season into a dead rubber.

However, Nolan will not accept this train of thought from his players, telling the Nottingham Post ahead of the trip to Luton Town: "We have a lot to play for.

"I want to go into next season with momentum and I don't want the season to tail off. We want to finish on a high and I feel we can beat anybody in this league on our day.

"I want us to give a really good account of ourselves and I will be disappointed if the attitude, application and professionalism drops. The lads will know about it and their days off won't be days off any more."
