The Magpies trailed 1-0 at the break, before The Robins ran riot in the 2nd half and took Notts "to the cleaners" as they made it look so easy.

After the game, manager Billy Dearden was quick to hit out at his side:

"Our defending was worse than a pub team. We were ok up to the interval but a complete shambles after it." Said Dearden.

Following recent clean sheets against Bristol City, Port Vale and Cardiff had improved Notts' goal difference, but following the 5 hammered past them yesterday Notts' goal difference moves down to -8 which is still the best in the bottom 11 in Division 2.
