Kevin Nolan has played down any special significance towards Notts County's weekend fixture at Leyton Orient, describing it as just another game.

Notts County manager Kevin Nolan has confirmed that his touchline dismissal against Wycombe Wanderers was punished by a fine. The Magpies boss was sent to the stands during Good Friday's goalless draw with the Chairboys when he protested a decision not to award Shola Ameobi a first half penalty.
