Ian Burchnall issues Notts County verdict as Magpies roar back into the play-off positions

Notts County head coach Ian Burchnall saluted an excellent performance as the Magpies moved back into the National League play-offs with victory over Woking.

Goals in each half from Ruben Rodrigues and Eli Sam sealed the win over the Cards who failed to register a shot on target.

The victory moved Notts into seventh in the table and they are now unbeaten in five games.

And Burchnall said his side's victory at Woking was a comfortable one.

"I am very happy," he said.

"I thought it was a composed performance throughout. We didn't really give away many chances and in the second half we created a lot more.

"It was just a very good all-around performance.

"I felt we had another gear to go into. We went it more in the second half.

"The first half was a bit bitty. There were a few stoppages and we never really got the tempo going.

"But then I thought for the last part of the first half we came alive a little bit. We started to create from the wide areas. I thought we were well-deserving of the win."
