Louis Laing: 'Notts County dressing room is much happier'

Louis Laing has admitted that the Notts County dressing room was in higher spirits than it has been for the last few weeks after their 2-2 draw against League One side Peterborough United.

The Magpies are languishing in the bottom six of League Two after four consecutive league defeats, prompting manager John Sheridan to cancel their Christmas party and pledge to play first-teamers in the reserves.

However, Meadow Lane saw the hosts come from two goals down to salvage a draw against Posh in the FA Cup, which kept them in the hat for the third round - and the winner of the replay will get to play Chelsea.

"It's a much happier dressing room. The last month has been pretty tough on everyone," Laing told the Nottingham Post.

"That's football. Sometimes you go through these stages. There's lots we need to work on still.

"We've had a good result. It's nice after four losses on the trot, especially against a League One team.

"It's nice to get a goal for the fans. It's been a hard month for them.

"It's been a hard month for everyone at the club with all the losses we've had. It's nice they stuck with us.

"Sometimes I don't blame them if they don't. It's understandable given how we've been going.

"It's always good to have them behind you. Hopefully they saw a better side to Notts County on Sunday."
