Kevin Nolan: 'Notts County players cannot wait to get back out on pitch'

Kevin Nolan has revealed that Notts County's players are full of confidence following their 2-1 win over Cheltenham Town and are eager to get back into action against Exeter City on Tuesday.

The Magpies have fate back in their own hands as they sit three points clear of 23rd-placed Leyton Orient, who have played the same amount of games as Notts, and five clear of basement side Newport County, who have a game in hand.

With the feelgood factor back at Meadow Lane, the gaffer says his charges feel "like they can beat anyone" if they put their minds to it and play as they did on Saturday against the Robins.

Nolan told the club's official site: "They'll want to bounce back. When you win a game, the first thing you want to do is get back out on the pitch and it's the same when you lose because you want to eradicate that defeat.

"Exeter have been on a fantastic run of form. I've watched a lot of videos over the last 48 hours and they play well. They do things right more often than not and that's why they've had so much success.

"But, if we do what we did on Saturday, we can certainly win this game. We're looking forward to what will hopefully be another good spectacle that goes in our favour.

"The players know if they get to the levels they did on Saturday, they can beat anyone. They are starting to believe what I believed when I first came through the door - that this team is well capable of staying in this league."
