Notts County head coach Ian Burchnall praised his side’s powers of recovery as they put Tuesday night’s nightmare at Stockport behind them by winning 2-1 at Dagenham & Redbridge, recovering from going behind after five minutes to win through an Alex Lacey header and an own goal by Daggers’ skipper Will Wright.
Illness and injury contributed to a lacklustre performance in the 3-0 defeat at the National League leaders in midweek and Notts’ problems continued here, as they were without Cal Roberts, Ruben Rodrigues and Joel Taylor, with other players still under the weather and Harry Arter making his debut after only joining the club from Nottingham Forest on Thursday. Despite that they produced a battling performance to overcome one of their promotion rivals and move back into the play-off places.
After seeing his side move up to seventh in the table, Burchnall said: “We have been backs against the wall for the past ten days so I am so pleased for the players, they so deserve this win.
