Kevin Nolan has reiterated that Notts County must not get into the mindset of having done their job following their 1-0 win at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.

Shola Ameobi's goal proved enough for the Magpies to claim all three points at Adams Park, putting them 13 points clear of the League Two relegation zone.

Many Notts fans have breathed a sigh of relief at the distance between the club and basement sides Newport County and Leyton Orient, whose recent form has been wretched to say the least.

However, Nolan previously said that he doesn't want to consider Notts safe from relegation until it is mathematically impossible for them to slip back into the bottom two.

Now, the manager has made it known that he wants the players to prove themselves from now until the end of the season, making a hint towards seeing who will make the cut in the summer.

Nolan told the Nottingham Post: "We need momentum going into next year. We don't want to be now thinking we are safe and then just tail off and think the season has ended.

"No, I want to see what these lads have got from now until the end of the season because there are a lot of decisions to be made once we know are safe. I don't think we can afford to take our foot off the pedal."

Up next for Notts is Saturday's League Two home clash with Colchester United, game number 40 of the season.

The players have their focus, it's something which comes across from Kevin Nolan - again this message is more about keeping people routed to the ground.

At this stage I think KN is being more careful about our overturn in form than anything.

Things continue as they are for me.

its good that KN want s to keep the players on their toes. This will be a big summer for Notts and I hope that KN can retain the right players: who 'they' are is the big question!
