Notts County manager Martin Paterson criticized his team’s performance following their 4-0 defeat to Cambridge United. The visitors fell behind early as Dom Ball, Shayne Lavery, and James Gibbons scored three goals within the first 33 minutes. Gibbons added a fourth goal in the second half after Cambridge’s goalkeeper Jake Eastwood was sent off.

Paterson described the match as one of the worst he has experienced, calling his side’s start “unprofessional.” He expressed frustration with the overall showing, highlighting the lack of discipline and intensity during the game.

Cambridge United manager Neil Harris, meanwhile, praised his team’s control throughout the contest. Harris emphasized that Cambridge dictated the pace and flow of the match, which was reflected in their comfortable victory at home.

The result leaves Notts County searching for answers after a heavy defeat on the road, while Cambridge United secured a commanding win to strengthen their position in the league.
