Kevin Nolan was impressed with Notts County's character and resolve as they got back to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Coventry City on Saturday.

Pride of Nottingham-sponsored Jonathan Forte was the hero of the day at Meadow Lane with a crucial brace ensuring that Jordan Ponticelli's equalising flick would prove little more than a consolation.

The result saw Notts end a run of four games without a win and reignited their promotion hopes, with a top-seven finish still very much on the menu.

β€œI thought the lads were terrific and they got their rewards in the end,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post.

β€œI think the reaction shows just how big it is to get a result here for other teams given the way Coventry celebrated the equaliser.

β€œBut I thought the way we handled it, and that bit of quality and the goal we scored was fantastic.

β€œWe deserved it and we looked back to our old selves. We were really pleasing on the eye and it was a good reaction from the players.

β€œI have spoken all season about the character this squad has and they’ve been questioned over the last few weeks and rightly so in some cases.

β€œBut we should never question what this squad have done for this club. They are standing up to the test and I am delighted for them.

β€œWe will go back to work Monday and look forward to another tough test at Colchester.”
