Kevin Nolan is not impressed with those who suggest Notts County is a "route one" team, describing the claims as "ridiculous" and "ludicrous".
The Magpies have won their last two games, but there has been some concern from fans who see the team's style of play as mere hoofball.
βOnce we start stamping our authority then we will only get better,β Nolan told the Nottingham Post in response.
βWe will get better going forward and we will show what a good footballing side we are.
βI think weβve been marked because we play Shola Ameobi and Jon Stead up front, but Shola never played in the Premier League and had balls lumped up to him.
βOn the floor he is one of the best in the league not just in my team so for people to start shouting that is ridiculous.
βI like to play in the opponents half and I like to see good football and patient football. I donβt like to keep chucking the ball in and it being a battle every single time.
βBut if someone is under pressure, then put it in an area that is going to give our forwards or a winger an opportunity but hurt the opposition in the process.
βIf you are a centre-half what is the ball you hate? Itβs not one coming on to your head, itβs one in behind.
βItβs not about putting balls onto Jon Steadβs head because thatβs not his game. A lot of people maybe thought his game was that.
βFor people to say thatβs what we want to do is ludicrous.β
