We take a look at how the press reviewed our 2-0 win at Accrington Stanley on Saturday afternoon, with reports from both sides' local papers.

Notts secured their first away win of the campaign thanks to goals from Craig Lindfield and Lawrie Dudfield, and also back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Nottingham Evening Post Report by Stevie Roden

Gambling on youth in the loan market was something the previous manager was reluctant to do during his time at Meadow Lane.

But when Ian McParland took over at Meadow Lane, he inherited a squad from which only two goals had been scored by strikers - ten weeks into the season.

So, on Thursday, he delved into the loan market. The target? A 19-year-old striker by the name of Craig Lindfield.

His pedigree suggested he could be a name to look out for in the future. The Liverpool striker has just won the FA Youth Cup for two seasons running and has been handed a three-year contract at Anfield.

McParland and assistant Dave Kevan thought it would be worth a punt. Liverpool want him to go out and get experience, McParland hoped he could further his potential with a few weeks in League Two.

Other clubs felt the same, including Accrington Stanley. But despite their boss admitting to tracking him for 18 months, they could never pull off the deal.

Notts did and, after 23 minutes on Saturday, it looked like a masterstroke.

A half chance, the ball dropped and on the half volley from 20 yards Lindfield thundered the ball past Ian Dunbavin. A great start. And later he would shoot out of nothing, pouncing on a few inches of room and agonisingly just miss the target.

Lindfield proved he had an eye for goal and he was not afraid to try his luck and for Notts it put them on the way to first away win of the season - a first since Easter Monday more than half a year ago.

But what it did prove is that although there is no chance of Notts making this move permanent, his instant impact has changed the whole way of thinking in the strike department.

Last week, Spencer Weir-Daley grabbed his second of the season. He was set to partner Lindfield on Saturday but fell ill with a virus and Lawrie Dudfield got another chance.

His response? Well it came in setting up the opener and scoring his first of the season with a header to cap a hard working performance leading the line. Suddenly the competition up front is hotting up - the strikers are scoring.

And that set them up to record back-to-back victories under McParland on Saturday against an Accrington side that have been in-form this season.

The first and vital break through came from Lindfield.

His first goal transpired when Mark Roberts stuttered at the back, Dudfield won the ball and knocked the ball to the edge of the box, where Lindfield pounced and fired over Dunbavin and under the bar.

Dudfield set the Liverpool man up soon after when he chested the ball into his path from a corner and with his left foot Lindfield hit an instinctive first-time shot just over the bar.

All the talk surrounded the strikers scoring, but the other massive bonus for McParland was the way his side defended.

After going in front, Kevin Pilkington had to be alert to keep his side in the lead when Roscoe D'Sane held off Adam Tann inside the Notts box before shooting, but the Magpies goalkeeper got down to produce a good save.

Apart from that, that first half was routine. But, in the second, they came under pressure before Dudfield's goal three minutes from time. But Stephen Hunt and Adam Tann led by example at the heart of the defence as the Magpies kept solid in their resistance from front to back.

Neil MacKenzie fired over from inside the six-yard box when he should have done better and substitute Hector Sam also saw Dunbavin save his shot late on.

But before that Paul Mullin cushioned the ball into the path of D'Sane and he struck it into the bottom corner but Pilkington, at full stretch, managed to get a hand to it.

A throw in caused Notts problems and when it fell to D'Sane, on the edge of the six-yard box with his back to goal, he turned and shot but Pilkington saved again.

The biggest scare came later on when Shaun Whalley picked up the ball on the left of the box and curled it inches wide of the back post as Mullin dived in. And in the last five minutes Ian Craney smashed the ball across the six-yard box to the back post, but Mullin slid in and somehow hit the outside of the upright.

Notts held out and the cushion came when substitute Austin McCann delivered a superb cross from the left and Dudfield stooped low to head into the bottom corner.

The management team would have wanted it a little earlier to spare the nervous finish. But it was a welcome goal and secured three points on their travels for the first time this campaign.

After last week's win, Notts appear to have moved on further and the whole performance was much more impressive. There is still a long, long way to go. But it is coming together.

And McParland showed there is no reason to be afraid of moving for upcoming young talent on loan. As a striker himself, McParland said it is a first competitive goal Lindfield will never forget.

And as the striker made his way out of the Fraser Eagle Stadium, it was a lot different surroundings to Anfield where he has played in the FA Youth Cup successes.

But to him, it meant the world as he chatted on his mobile phone informing a friend of every detail of his fabulous strike.

While Lindfield is a rough diamond who has been sent out by Liverpool in order to start smoothing out those edges ready for the future, he made an instant impression for Notts.

His addition has certainly freshened things up. Suddenly from a striker crisis for all the wrong reasons, Notts have three battling it out for those two starting places and Lindfield, Weir-Daley and Dudfield have all scored in their last games.

It is a nice headache for McParland as he takes his team to Barnet tomorrow night. And thanks to looking to unproven youth to freshen it up, McParland appears to have found the solution to get his strikers firing on all cylinders.

Lancashire Telegraph Report

Magpies are renowned for their tendency to swoop and grab anything that catches their eye.

At the Fraser Eagle Stadium, the prize on offer was three points and the visiting Magpies of Notts County duly obliged by taking them back to the Midlands.

Gaps at the back cost Accrington Stanley once more as they were beaten by a goal in each half despite building up a head of steam in the second half that warranted an equaliser.

Boss John Coleman made one change to the side that drew at Barnet, with the injured Leam Richardson replaced by Shaun Whalley, and reverted back to a 4-4-2 formation.

The opening stages of the game were scrappy, with an injury ravaged County looking to settle and the Reds adjusting to the change of system.

When the first chance came after ten minutes it fell to the visitors as midfielder Richard Butcher fired a left foot shot into the side netting.

It was a warning of what was to come, and 13 minutes later the Magpies took the lead. Striker Lawrie Dudfield won the ball in the Stanley half and teed up debutant Craig Lindfield.

The on-loan Liverpool man needed no further invitation as he volleyed past Ian Dunbavin from the edge of the box into the top left corner.

Swift fightbacks have been a mark of Stanley's recent performances and they almost had another from the restart when Paul Mullin flicked on a long ball to Roscoe Dsane on the left side of the box.

The striker powered past Adam Tann and into the area but could only stab his left foot effort into the body of goalkeeper Kevin Pilkington.

In search of an equaliser the Reds made more chances, with Mark Roberts heading wide and Andy Procter firing over the crossbar.

But at the other end Lindfield might have scored a second when he pounced on some defensive indecision to fire over from similar range to his opener.

After the interval the game followed a similar pattern with the home side making the majority of the chances but the visitors looking comfortable in possession.

Twelve minutes into the second half the lively Dsane tested Pilkington, who couldn't hold his low shot but gathered it in at the second time of asking. Just before the hour mark Ian Craney almost capped a weak of upheaval with a fine goal.

The on-loan midfielder, who had been recalled and re-loaned within the space of two days, was lurking on the edge of the box to receive a knock down from Procter and volleyed agonisingly over the top.

The frustration continued for Stanley when they had a penalty appeal turned down after defender Paul Mayo fell inside the penalty area and appeared to handle the ball on the ground.

And Pilkington had to be alert again moments later as Graham Branch's long throw was diverted off the heads of Mullin and Procter before finding Dsane.

The former AFC Wimbledon man improvised to hook the ball over his head, but the keeper caught the effort with the minimum of fuss.

It wasn't entirely one-way traffic though as 16 minutes from time Dunbavin was forced to parry a strike from Mayo and Robbie Williams cleared with Dudfield poised to pounce.

But the majority of the pressure was on the away goal, and ten minutes from time the Reds turned the screw. When Craney's shot was blocked by a defender, Whalley was quickest to react from a tight angle on the left, but his right foot curler bent around the far post.

Stanley's best chance came with five minutes left as captain Peter Cavanagh threaded in Craney down the right.

The midfielder lashed the ball fiercely across the face of goal, and although Mullin managed to connect with it at the back post he couldn't inject much accuracy and saw his effort rebound off the outside of the upright.

It seemed almost inevitable that County would respond, and when they did it proved decisive.

With 87 minutes played substitute Austin McCann swung in a left wing cross looking for an unmarked Dudfield, and the striker made no mistake beating Dunbavin with a diving header.

Soon after the final whistle sounded to consign Coleman's men to their first defeat in four games.
