Gareth Ainsworth impressed with "big, strong and organised" Notts County

Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has described Notts County as a "big, strong and organised" team, but suggested that his side should have defended better and was caught out by a sucker punch in their 4-2 defeat on Saturday.

Richard Duffy, Jonathan Forte and Lewis Alessandra, plus an Adam El Abd own goal, netted for the Magpies at Adams Park, with the Chairboys fightback through goals from Nick Freeman and Joe Jacobson ultimately to no avail.

Ainsworth told Bucks Free Press: "Fair play to County, they were big, strong and organised. We were missing a few key players.

"It was disappointing and there are things to work on. I was pleased with our response in the second half after we couldn't get our foot on the ball in the first half.

"After 70 minutes I was thinking there was only going to be one winner but we got done by a sucker punch.

"I thought we gifted them a couple of goals and we can't do that at this level. The manner of the goals were are conceding is a concern. It isn't like we are getting torn apart with clever play."
