Hero Henderson: We need goals

Henderson, who is nearly a month into a three-month loan spell from Aston Villa, made a series of outstanding saves during Saturday's clash against Northampton, ensuring that Mills' men went home with an undeserved point.

But, despite another clean sheet from the Magpies rearguard, the midfielders were seemingly unable to create chances for the visitors to score. The few that were created, were badly squandered.

But Henderson (pictured left), 21 on Thursday, while paying tribute to Notts' defence, says this has to stop for the Magpies to climb the table.

"We have been playing well, particularly at the back," Henderson told the NEP. "You need to have confidence in your defence, as a keeper, and you do have that here. We have defended well at Northampton, we have worked hard for a point and we can be pleased with that.

"It was a busy game for me, we were under a lot of pressure. But we still had the chances to score. That is a familiar pattern.

"You would always fancy us to do well at the back. Mike Whitlow did well to slot in when Julien Baudet went off injured.

"But we had the chances to snatch it at the other end. We have to start making more of those if we are to progress.''

Millsy's men have not scored in their past 3 games, and have struck a woeful FIVE goals all season in the League. Tony Scully is the club's top scorer with two efforts.

Henderson's argument is also backed up by the fact that the 'Pies have also claimed three scoreless draws this season.
