John Sheridan happy with Notts County's "good response" at Hartlepool

Notts County boss John Sheridan has praised his charges for the "good response" to Tuesday's defeat against Plymouth Argyle.

The Magpies came from behind on Saturday to beat Hartlepool United 2-1 and claim their first win of the season.

However, Sheridan was unhappy with his side for conceding the first goal of the game at Victoria Park, describing it as "sloppy".

"The response to Tuesday was good," he told reporters after the game. "We could have scored three or four goals and I was just pleased for the players to get the result we were after.

"The goal we conceded was poor. I told them before the game not to leave their wingers one v one with ours.

"But we switched off and we should work harder to stop the ball from coming into the box.

"It was a real sloppy goal, but it was a great response from the players in the second half.

"Steady's got three goals now and that's a good return from him as well.

"Louis has anticipated the first goal and we have shown really good character to get back into the game."
