Kevin Nolan: 'Notts County still a team in transition'

Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County are still a team in transition despite reclaiming top spot in League Two with a 2-1 win over Barnet on Saturday.

Goals from Shola Ameobi and Ryan Yates gave the Magpies a healthy advantage, although it proved a nervy ending to the game after Simeon Akinola's late strike at Meadow Lane.

"You have to ride your luck a bit," Nolan told the official website. "You only have to look at the results from around the league this afternoon to see how difficult it is.

"We dealt with Barnet superbly but we have a lot more to come. We have to remember where we've come from. We're still a team in transition.

"The lads have been superb and they have to keep believing in each other. What we're doing at the minute is remarkable and they deserve every pat on the back that's coming their way.

"To get this win is massive after the last couple of weeks. Hopefully we can build momentum with a few more. I have faith in these lads to get us the points we need.

"But we can't let them get carried away with that. They need to enjoy it, embrace it and try to get better so we can become a real force in this league."
