Goals from Sam Saunders and a brace from Matt Ritchie at Meadow Lane consigned County to another defeat and prompted the home fans to boo the Magpies players when they undertook a lap of honour at the end of the match.[LNB]After a fifth consecutive defeat both manager McParland and chairman John Armstrong-Holmes are under severe pressure.[LNB]McParland said: "I think our boys went on holiday after we won at Bournemouth last month to virtually make ourselves safe. Yet again we created loads of good chances, didn't stick the ball in the net and have had to suffer the consequences.[LNB]"With the first goal one of our players was running alongside Saunders when he cut in from the right and although I was saying 'get in a tackle or do something' he never did.[LNB]"The second came from a free-kick when we totally switched off. I'm always saying to the players that they should never turn their back on the ball and that's what they did."[LNB][LNB]
