John Sheridan wants Notts County players to "not like getting beat"

John Sheridan has played down suggestions that he is building a winning culture at Notts County, but admits that he needs his players to "not like getting beat".

The Magpies have won three games in a row with Wednesday's victory over Hartlepool United, a run not seen since the days of Shaun Derry.

Sheridan said: "I wouldn't say I am building a winning culture because we still have a lot of work to do, but I want players who do not like getting beat.

"I want a group who, if they go out with that manner, have a good chance of achieving things.

"That's a mentality we have got to get because I don't want to be second best.

"It happened too much last season and I still see signs of it, which is something I want to eradicate.

"Hopefully, by winning games then it will only improve us."
