John Sheridan lays into Notts County players following Accrington Stanley defeat

Notts County boss John Sheridan has criticised his players after the team slumped to a 2-0 home defeat against Accrington Stanley on Saturday.

Meadow Lane was witness to a limp, insipid display from the Magpies as John O'Sullivan and Romuald Boco gave the visitors all three points.

"I am very disappointed with the way we have gone about the game," Sheridan said.

"With the way we finished last week's game against Grimsby and then having another home game, you hope to take that momentum with you.

"But sometimes it's hard to understand how you give a performance like that.

"We were just not at the races. I am not somebody who goes around making excuses. We didn't play well at all.

"People were saying one or two decent things about us, but the way I am, I do not get carried away.

"Unfortunately at this level, these types of performances come along, but I hope there are not too many.

"It's not nice because we are at home. I totally understand the fans. The performance didn't warrant any appreciation. The players have got to be strong."
