Derry on Notts win at Port Vale
Notts County manager Shaun Derry told 91热爆 Radio Nottingham:
"It was an incredible defensive display from us. You have to be brave in many ways and I thought we were brave defensively - and all over the pitch.
"I know that Port Vale will be disappointed with that, but you have to find a way of winning games and we managed to do that.
"I thought big Jake Cassidy was absolutely unbelievable up there, occupying both centre-halves when we had the ball and made it difficult for them when they had the ball. All over the pitch, to a man, I'm so proud of them."
