Reflecting on the match, Notts County head coach Martin Paterson remarked, “I bottled up that confidence into this game and the lads rewarded the supporters who came, we had a great backing.” He praised the performance of his players, stating, “The four who scored all deserved their goals, some of the performances were fantastic.”
On the other hand, Accrington Stanley has now gone six league games without a win, raising concerns about their current form. Doolan expressed frustration, noting, “We didn’t do the basics, there was a lack of communication.”
