Key Events
Notts County caretaker boss Steve Chettle's views
“You have to take care of your own performance and if you don’t then things like that happen.
“It was not good enough. We conceded three really poor goals.
“Somebody has not done their job for the first. For the second, we worked on Friday in being set-up for the corner they do, but somebody hasn’t done their job for that.
“For the third we have not taken care of the first ball and they’ve scored from the second phase.
“We have looked at it and I’ve told the players they have to do their jobs because we are in a dogfight here.
“They have to do things better.
“I’ve been in the dressing room for a week and while Wednesday was good, today was bad.
“I’ve got to try to pick the bones out of both and not get too high and never get too low.
“We have to see where we go from here, but they’ve got to toughen up mentally.”
