Bishop joined Notts from Barnet in the summer of 2009

Notts County midfielder Neal Bishop says the Magpies will enjoy their break from the league as they prepare for an FA Cup fifth round tie at Fulham.

The League Two club saw their seven-match unbeaten run under caretaker manager Dave Kevan come to an end at Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

Bishop told BBC Radio Nottingham: "We can ease off on the league now and enjoy building up to the Fulham game.

"We'll then look to put another run together after Fulham."

Notts had won their previous six away games, including the FA Cup fourth round tie at another Premier League side, Wigan.

Bishop said: "As players, and as a team, we can't afford to dwell on what we've done.

"But it's a good statistic and hopefully we'll go and win the next six or seven away games."
