Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has hailed his side's 3-2 win at Leyton Orient as the end of their away hoodoo and something to build on.

The Magpies took a two-goal lead through Jorge Grant and Jon Stead but were pegged back before Stead struck a late winner at Brisbane Road.

It helped Notts climb further away from the League Two relegation zone and also marked a first away win since October.

Nolan told the official site: "I'm pleased to end the hoodoo of not putting in performances away from home. We got our just rewards in the end thanks to some quality finishing.

"We knew it was going to be tough. The response after they got it back to 2-2 shows the character and belief we have in the squad, which I'm delighted about.

"The home supporters and the stadium were both rocking when they got their equaliser so it was about us managing the game and getting us back on the front foot, which the lads did fantastically well.

"You always need a bit of brilliance and we got it from Marc Bola, who showed great composure to pick out Steady and if you give him that type of chance he will put it away.

"We're on a three-game unbeaten run now and looking forward next Saturday's game at home to Yeovil."

It sounds much more positive right now, there's been a complete overhaul since Kevin Nolan has arrived and he deserves to be pleased. I hope the hard work continues!
