'Sensational' - Notts County player ratings from Eastleigh win

Notts County secured their fifth successive win with a 3-0 victory over Eastleigh.

Here Leigh Curtis gives his player ratings from Meadow Lane.

Joe McDonnell: Had a nervy moment when he stumbled in the area when collecting a simple ball, but other than that moment, the goalkeeper had a relaxed afternoon. 7

Richard Brindley:  Showed great energy up and down the right flank and dovertailed well with Callum Roberts as they combined to put Eastleigh under pressure. Looked fresh. 8

Connell Rawlinson: A serious contender for player of the season and underlined his quality again with another performance that oozed quality and composure in the heart of the defence. 8

Alex Lacey: Reads the game superbly and never looks flustered in anything he does. Has developed an excellent partnership with Rawlinson which has underpinned their rise into the top three. 8

Joel Bagan: Another impressive display from the on-loan Cardiff defender. May still be a teenager, but his maturity and understanding of the game is evident. Great news that he is here until the end of the season. 7

Enzio Boldewijn: Showed flashes of his ability when space opened up for him and is always dangerous when he drops into the centre of the pitch. Had a steady game. 7

Notts County's Kyle Wootton and Eastleigh's Aden Baldwin (Dan Westwell)

Michael Doyle: Just seems to be everywhere and the amount of ground he covers is just incredible. He's now passed more than 800 games in his career and he's an inspiration. 9

Mitch Rose: Was unlucky not to score before half-time when he showed great skill to burst past two defenders, but was denied by the goalkeeper. A real powerhouse at times and created Wootton's second. 8

Callum Roberts: A livewire and whenever he collects the ball, you can sense the anticipation in the stands. Cross for Dennis' header was absolutely magnificent and scored with a thumping finish.  9

Kristian Dennis: Conjured up a peach of a cross for Kyle Wootton's opener. Also on the scoresheet and it was a sensational performance from the former Chesterfield striker. 9

Kyle Wootton: Showed great movement to get in between both centre-backs to head in the opener although it was such a good cross, he couldn't miss. Followed it up with an instinctive finish for the second. 9
