I felt Notts played very well, not just for one half or 75 minutes but the whole game. Defensively, I never felt like Mansfield would score largely down to how tight and restricted our defence and midfield made them play, their game changes couldn't do anything and Jorge Grant looked like he did towards the end of last season for us. I felt the strike by Craig Mackail-Smith was a fantastic strike, I knew it was going in the moment the ball bounced straight in front of him. It's a good technical shot, well struck and well placed. Seriously the teams passion is spot on and Michael Doyle seems to be a ball buster, I'm not suggesting this is a bad thing but there's times he should just try to be happy for others. What a difference he and Jim O'Brien have made.

I'm far from confident, I fear that it could lead to a small blip but I would happily take a draw. We won't win every game, so we have to be realistic and our record against Mansfield is shocking. Yes time has to change and if the players did do this, well it would be smashing but I certainly don't expect it.

Exactly the result needed for Notts, it sounded like a good game - I didn’t listen as I was out but I noticed we led. Then some time after it was 1-1. Glad Notts win! It’s a great feeling.
