Paterson: I'll stamp out what went wrong against U's

MARTIN Paterson has delivered some hard truths to his Notts County players following their heavy 4-0 defeat to promotion rivals Cambridge United on Saturday.

The Magpies surrendered the advantage in the battle for the final automatic promotion spot with a dismal display at Cambridge from start to finish and Paterson said it was his side's worst showing this term.

With a game in hand on the Magpies, the ball is firmly in the U's court now, with three wins from their last four enough to seal promotion, no matter what Paterson's side can muster up in their final three.

"When we win, the celebrations and the fist pumping are great and easy to be a part of, but all that means is we have to lose together as well and take responsibility for it as a team," said Paterson.
