Notts County boss John Sheridan expresses mixed emotions over Walsall win

Notts County manager John Sheridan has expressed mixed emotions about his side's 3-2 win over Walsall in Tuesday night's friendly at Meadow Lane.

The Magpies raced into a 3-0 lead as goals from Haydn Hollis, Jonathan Forte and Jon Stead put the hosts in command, but two late goals from Saddlers substitute Amadou Bakayoko made for a nervy finish.

"I was very pleased with the 70 minutes, but not happy with the last 20," the former Oldham boss told reporters.

"I made a lot of changes then, but up to that point I thought we looked very solid.

"We were 3-0 up and you think the game is over against a good team.

"I like the way they (Walsall) play possession wise, but we looked a decent outfit.

"We scored three goals and you do expect to see the game out a lot easier.

"I won't even look at the last 20 minutes, because it was just a case of game time for some people."
