Mark Crossley hopes Notts player row after Cambridge defeat will provide spark

Notts County assistant manager Mark Crossley has revealed that the club's players argued with each other after their 4-0 defeat to Cambridge United.

The former goalkeeper hopes that the squad holding each other to account will spark a reaction and mark a turning point in the club's fortunes.

"They fell out between themselves after the game and that's the first time I've seen that for a while," Crossley told the Nottingham Post.

"We wanted that six weeks ago. Unfortunately it's gone from the game a bit where players fall out in dressing rooms.

"By doing that you tend to get a reaction and better performances.

"I hope that's the spark that can take us into Morecambe in that they realise the trouble we are in and they can hopefully get us out of it."

Notts will take on the Shrimps away at the Globe Arena this weekend, with Alan Smith taking the reins as caretaker manager for the first time after John Sheridan was sacked.
