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.
“I thought the lads were terrific and they got their rewards in the end,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post.
“I think the reaction shows just how big it is to get a result here for other teams given the way Coventry celebrated the equaliser.
“But I thought the way we handled it, and that bit of quality and the goal we scored was fantastic.
“We 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.
“I 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.
“But 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.
“We will go back to work Monday and look forward to another tough test at Colchester.”
