Michael O'Connor urges Notts County players to bounce back against Cheltenham Town


Joe Jones

Notts County captain Michael O'Connor has described his side's 2-0 defeat to Accrington Stanley as a "bad day at the office" and has urged his teammates to put it right against Cheltenham Town next week.

Goals from John O'Sullivan and Romuald Boco gave the visitors the win at Meadow Lane on Saturday, which was greeted by boos at the final whistle.

"We just can't get going at home and if we are to be up there at the end of the season then we need to put it right," O'Connor told reporters.

"It was a bad day at the office and every team has them but we haven't given the fans a home win this season and that's the most disappointing thing.

"We now need to show some character against Cheltenham next week. It's still early on in the season and we still have time to put it right.

"The fans had every right to boo because that was awful. But it's done now. We will look to next week and try to get on an unbeaten run again."

o'connor has been very poor, i hope he digests his own performances because they have no been acceptable.

i bet port vale fans are laughing just how poor the players who are supposed to be key are doing for us. it just shows you how having the right setup and balance makes a difference to how people perform.

The squad need to work out a system which can allow them to play the ball forward.

Very early on against Accrington Stanley we ran out of ideas, then struggled to match their work rate. The 2016/17 squad are up and down, time for consistency.
