Backe bemused by inconsistency

The Magpies saw off Hereford at Edgar Street last weekend but surrendered their 10-game unbeaten home record to League Two's smallest club after a hapless second half.[LNB]Michael Symes and James Ryan both struck on the counter-attack before Lee Hughes replied with a penalty late on.[LNB]It left Backe perplexed, and he said: "It was a completely different performance from the one we showed at Hereford a week ago. We looked nervy on the ball, had too many unforced errors and never looked like we were in the game for the whole 90 minutes.[LNB]"I'm struggling to put my finger on why we were so poor, especially because we had won three in a row coming into this game. How we then go from that to looking vulnerable again is a mystery.[LNB]"I'm disappointed because a win would have helped us close the gap on the top three, which is something we needed to do going into the Christmas period."[LNB][LNB]
