He continued: “I couldn't get my breath. It was just end to end. There were chances galore.

“But the goal gave us something to hold onto.

“First half I think we gave them a bit too much respect but second half we matched them up really well, stood on their box and said try to play through us.

“Notts have quality with good players in their team. So it was just about weathering that storm. We knew they would put pressure on us.

“It was a good, entertaining game even though it was only a 1-0.
