Moniz upset at erratic Notts form despite calm demeanour

Ricardo Moniz has claimed that he is upset with Notts County’s inconsistency, despite appearing calm on the surface.

The Magpies were beaten 3-1 by Cambridge United on Saturday, as Shaun Derry got revenge against his former employee – as player and manager – and boyhood club.

Just four days earlier, Notts had secured an impressive 4-2 win over Barnet at Meadow Lane.

The club’s home form is solid enough, with six wins and a draw out of 10 games, but it is a completely different story on the road, with just one win in nine.

Moniz told local media: "I am always disappointed. Maybe I do not show that because I must stay calm, but Saturday was a massive disappointment.

"And of course I am upset every single day (with inconsistency), but they are things I keep inside.

"You always have to protect from the outside world. But on the inside you can confront and people do not know what we say."

Notts currently sit 15th in League Two, seven points away from the playoffs.
