John Sheridan reiterates importance of good Notts County home form

Joe Jones

By Joe Jones

Notts County manager John Sheridan has stressed the importance of improving the club's home form as Accrington Stanley visit Meadow Lane this weekend.

Despite being unbeaten in four games and with nine goals scored, the Magpies are yet to get a league win on home soil this season.

"We are on a decent run, but I want our home form to be better," Sheridan said.

"I see good things in us, but at the same time the first half of last week against Grimsby for example wasn't what I wanted.

"We were the home side, but we were very flat. It shouldn't happen because we were on a decent run.

"But once we got going, we looked a decent team. We've got good enough players to do well this season.

"We do create chances, but we do switch off and concede really soft goals. The two goals last week were a prime example.

"We could have avoided some of the goals. I want to go into the game score first and see it through and show what a good team we are.

"But it's a long campaign and if we can get three points on Saturday, that point against Grimsby will be a good one."

We've been rubbish at home for years and years. Even in our better seasons it's our away form that has stood out, and the pattern has continued so far this season too. No matter who the manager and players are, or what the style of play is, it's always the same. Wonder why this is?

I think teams raise their game when they come to Meadow Lane. ML is easily one of the best grounds in L2. Opposition teams actually like coming here.

It didn't stop or prevent the Championship winning team of 2009/2010, they played the best at home that I have ever witnessed and I'm sure it's the same for many.

We really need to build this unity at Meadow Lane.

Make teams work hard to get any points from visiting but John Sheridan seems to be improving the basics which is a good sign.
