Kevin Nolan has stated that any player in the Notts County setup who gets too big for their boots will be brought back to earth with β€œa real big bang” - but knows there will be no need because they won't.

The Magpies are currently level on points with Luton Town at the top of League Two, with the two sides meeting next weekend following this Saturday's FA Cup tie with Oxford City.

Nolan insists that the Magpies have a β€œspecial” team spirit, and is determined to keep it that way in the second half of the season, but does not want anyone to get carried away.

β€œWe’ve played against a few good sides and we’ve had a few good hidings along the way. We’ve just got to concentrate on ourselves,” he told the Nottingham Post.

β€œWe’ve got a good bunch of lads and I feel if we’re on form we can be a match for anyone on our day.

β€œWe can’t look at anyone else, we’ve just got to look at us. It’s about keeping our feet on the ground, because we know how easily it can all change.

β€œThe most important thing is that everyone in this club knows how easily it can change. Last year we were doing really well, then went on a run which was the reason why I got this job.

β€œIt can quite easily go the other way. We’ve just got to keep doing what we’ve been doing, enjoy it but don’t get carried away.

β€œI’ll be the one bringing them firmly back down to the ground with a real big bang if I do feel they are getting too big for their boots – but they won’t because they’re a good bunch and all really level-headed lads. They all do it themselves, so it makes my job easier.”
