John Sheridan looking for Notts County response against Morecambe

Notts County boss John Sheridan is looking for a good response from his players against Morecambe tonight.

The Magpies enjoyed a good run prior to last week's derby at Mansfield Town but were brought back down to earth with a 3-1 defeat.

Sheridan told reporters at a press conference: "I've tried to forget about it as much as I can. I am still disappointed obviously especially for the supporters.

"Last season was on people's minds so I wanted to go there and pay them back. I wanted to win the game and get three points, but it wasn't to be.

"The biggest downer was the way we played. Even though I thought we were the better team in the first half and created good chances, I didn't think we played well at all.

"We possibly should have been 2-0 up and I felt the game was there for the taking. We ended up losing 3-1 and the manner of the goals we conceded were very poor.

"I hope I get a response. I don't think we deserved to lose the game on Saturday and I was disappointed for the supporters because it's bragging rights.

"But when we have lost games, we have responded well.

"Like I say, I have a good group of lads. I didn't dwell on it too much. I told them after the game exactly how I felt and I expressed that to the media too.

"I don't want to keep going on about it, but luckily we have another game and a chance to respond.

"It's the first of two home games we have this week, so I want a good response from them."
