Notts County ‘willing to wait as long as we had to' during medical emergency
Once two air ambulances cleared the pitch, the two sides shared the points following a hard-fought 1-1 draw in League Two as a Jodi Jones penalty cancelled out Gerard Garner's opener for the hosts. But both bosses were quick to point out that football was secondary due the events before kick-off. 'We don't know the full details yet, but we know it's someone associated with our football club so we wish him and his family all the best. It just puts things into perspective,' said Paterson. 'We as a football club were willing to wait as long as we had to so that the supporter was taken care of.' And Hughes echoed those thoughts when he spoke after the match. 'Everyone's thoughts are with the individual who was involved in the medical emergency. Him and his family are in everyone's thinking,' said the Exiles boss. The delay did not seem to affect the visitors as they dominated the first 45 minutes, hitting the crossbar through Connor Grant and going close on several other occasions. Garner then headed the hosts in front from a long throw four minutes into the second half before Jones sent Nik Tzanev the wrong from the spot in the 65th minute after Matt Baker brought down Matthew Dennis. Paterson said: 'At half-time I was disappointed not to be one or two goals to the good, with some of our play and the clear-cut chances that we created. 'But football owes you absolutely nothing. You have to take those chances because you leave yourself open for certain styles to hurt you. 'We conceded a set-play goal that was very avoidable and we had to have a reaction to get a goal back. 'I'm disappointed not to win the game, but if teams play in a certain manner and are effective with it there's nothing wrong with that – we can't complain, we just have to be better at being us.' Michael Reindorf hit a post for the home side after Jones' equaliser, but Hughes was relatively pleased with a point after last week's Carabao Cup win at Barnet. 'When you go 1-0 up at home, you want to see the game out,' he said. 'But we played a very good team. You can see why they're one of the favourites. 'We have provided a platform in these first two games to underpin our performances moving forward. There are areas we want to work on, but I think the lads should be immensely proud of themselves.'

Exeter boss Gary Caldwell fumes at handball decision in Doncaster defeat
Substitute Kevin McDonald was penalised for handball by referee Ross Joyce and Luke Molyneux fired home the resulting spot-kick in the 88th minute. Caldwell felt the decision went against guidance on the handball rule he had been given in a briefing earlier in the week. He said: 'I was on a Zoom call for two hours and told clearly that a handball decision would need to be deliberate or somebody's arm would need to be in an unnatural position and it's just hit his hand. 'It's difficult for referees and I feel sorry for them because I think they have a thankless task, but when we're told one thing and then something else happens on the first day it's very difficult to accept and I think when he watches it back he'll know that he got it wrong. 'Otherwise, in the second half, I couldn't see us winning the game, but I couldn't see us losing the game either. I thought defensively our set-up was excellent. 'We gave them very little space to play in and they created very few chances. 'I just wanted us to be a bit better in possession. I also thought we created the best chance of the game early on and you have to capitalise on those moments and then create more of them.' Grant McCann praised the patience of his Doncaster side. Last season's League Two champions dominated the attacking play but found an organised Exeter a tough nut to crack. 'I thought it was a really good, controlled performance from us,' McCann said. 'We had to be patient. 'We moved the ball well and had some really good chances without showing that killer instinct. But it was a difficult game. 'Exeter surprised us a bit with their shape. We've seen them play in different ways in pre-season and they did that later in the game when they brought players on. 'They were difficult to break down and credit to Gary Caldwell with their shape, with the five, the three and the two. 'We had to be patient and I reminded the lads of that at half-time and said the opportunities would come. We got our break when we just needed it and it was calm from Mols to put the penalty away. 'All in all, I felt we deserved the three points.'
