Dave Kevan praised the influence of the Notts fans in the critical win over Rochdale-hailing them as their twelth man on the day.
The Magpies assistant manager saw the side gain a vitally important three points after Michael Johnson’s winner-their first win in six games at Meadow Lane.
And after a plea to the fans before the game to get behind the side despite a desperately disappointing season, Kevan was overwhelmed at the fans’ reaction in a key game in the fight for survival
He said: “The fans were fantastic. They responded to our pleas for their help and they were like a twelfth man today and we’re delighted that we’ve sent them home with a win.”
“Credit to Rochdale they put us under immense pressure in the second half and some of our defending at times was outstanding.”
“The supporters recognised that the lads were having a right go for them and we’ve always said if the lads are prepared to put their bodies on the line and give all they’ve got then they’ll get the backing and they got that today.
And Kevan played testament to the Magpies defensive resistance that has seen them concede just one goal in the last five games.
He added: “Defensively it was a team effort today but obviously the back four and goalkeeper they deserve special praise for the clean sheet and that always gives you a chance of winning games.”
“Even the lads that came on, Parkinson and Jason, they’ve come on and made important tackles and blocks so from the back to the front they’ve defended their lead very very well.”
