Richard Butcher has paid tribute to the Notts County defence stating their contribution has made the difference in their fight for survival in League Two.
The Magpies recorded a five match unbeaten run in the crucial 0-0 draw with Mansfield on Saturday
And despite the lead now being cut to four points after The Stags 2-1 win over Wrexham, he indicated how important it was to gain at least a point out of Saturday’s local derby.
He said: "We are always disappointed not to win a game, but the main thing against Mansfield was not to get beaten - and we did that.”"We defended really well. Our defence has tightened up over the past few weeks and that has been very important.”"Michael Johnson has come in and been brilliant and calmed us all down and told us what to do and Mike Edwards has played really well since he came back in.””As long as we keep picking up the points and clean sheets I think we are going to be okay. Two more wins will probably be enough."
