Dearden Concerned By Notts Defending

Notts have given away leads against Wycombe, Brentford, Oldham and now Luton. Also worryingly for Dearden, Notts are picking up a habit of letting in late goals.

The Notts boss told The News of the World;
"I told them at half time Luton would come at us, they will knock long balls and gamble, which is just what they did"
"Then they got in behind two of my players to head goals. I just should not have happened. I don't know how many times I have got to tell them"
"Individually and collectivly players have a job to do and basically we never marked up for their two goals"

Notts looked well in the driving seat, being 2-0 up at half time with goals from Danny Allsopp and Paul Bolland before Luton, who made 3 substitutions at half time, came back at Notts.

Dearden may consider shaking things up at the back on Tuesday, but it is unlikely he will do so.
