Mark Cooper cancels Notts County players' day off after Mansfield Town thrashing

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has cancelled his players’ day off as he criticised them for having “caved in” at Mansfield Town.

The Magpies, who normally get Sunday off, suffered their biggest ever defeat at the hands of their local rivals as they went down 5-0 in Saturday’s League Two derby.

Cooper said: "They caved in and some questions have been answered for me.

"I have a list of players who I think 'yes, they need to stay, and they need to go' but it keeps changing.

"They keep letting themselves down. They have had a real good following and they've let them down again.

"The players are in (Sunday) morning. They thought they were getting the day off, but they don't deserve it."
