Notts County are beginning to look like a side going for promotion after they made it four games unbeated with a great 2-0 win at Stevenage on Saturday.
Lee Hughes and Ben Burgess were the men on the mark for County, while at the back goalkeeper Stuart Nelsen saved a penalty from Craig Reid.
There as just seven minutes on the clock when the referee pointed to the spot after Krystian Pearce brought down Reid in the box. Reid took the kick himself only to see Nelson dive to save.
As the half drew to a close, Hughes found himself with just the keeper to beat but fired straight at him and a corner was the result.
But from that corner, Notts took the lead when the ball found its way to Mike Edwards who sent the ball across the face of goal for Hughes to tap home.
Notts second goal came in the second half when Hughes crossed the ball into the box from the left and Burgess headed home and County were then in charge.
