Notts County manager Shaun Derry has praised the understanding that has been forged by strikers Jake Cassidy and Shaun Harrad.

Derry's side ran out 3-0 winners away at Crewe Alexandra last night, with Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee Cassidy scoring twice, while Harrard's shot was deflected into the net by Alan Tate.

Speaking after the match, Derry waxed lyrical about his two centre-forwards.

"I don't think there is a happier man than me as Shaun has been absolutely fantastic since the moment he walked into the club," he told reporters.

"He settled in straight away and he is now developing into the player we know he can be. Jake and him have a little partnership there which looks very nice for us."

On Saturday, County will take on Gillingham at Meadow Lane.
