The Magpies claimed the points thanks to a Mark Stallard brace, and kept Notts' unbeaten run to 5 games.

"I'm chuffed to bits," Said Dearden.

"We were missing a couple of our most consistant players today, and so in the circumstances the lads did all I could ask of them.

"Mark (Stallard), was terrific. Mind, he could have finished with a hat-trick - he missed the easiest chance.

"Still, I'll settle for what he did."
Added the Notts manager.

The Cardiff boss Lennie Lawerence was obviously very disappointed with his side after their 3rd home defeat of the season.

"We could have no excuses. Their goalkeeper was some decent saves. But we didn't put them under any kind of pressure we should have." Said Lawerence.
