The Magpies were without Nick Fenton, Danny Allsopp, Mark Stallard, Paul Heffernan & Duncan Jupp at Home Park, and played with a new look 4-4-1-1 formation, which in the end didn't pay off as Notts were beaten 1-0.
"We decided to go with just Tony (Hackworth) up front with Darren (Caskey) just behind him and I thought we looked good first half and they didn't have a shot on goal." Dearden told the Radio Nottingham.
"At the end of the day it was a set piece and we gave them 2 free headers in the box, with the lad beating him from 4-5 yards out for the winner to knock it in. I am disappointed to let in that type of goal, as we were looking good at that point."
"I didn't think we were going to come and create alot here today with the players we had out, but the lads out there did ok today." The boss added.
