Southampton boss George Burley admitted his side could have no complaints after they were dumped out of the Carling Cup by Notts County.

The League Two club upset their more illustrious opponents, and after the 2-0 defeat at Meadow Lane, the Saints boss was in no mood to defend his players.

"All credit to Notts County, they started much better than us," Burley told the club's official website. "We did not compete in the first half and made it too easy for them.

"We gave them too much space and conceded two poor goals and at 2-0 it was always going to be difficult.

"We got what we deserved. If you go away from home to a lower league side the first thing you have to do is compete because you don't get time on the ball.

"We did not close down and had too many players standing off the ball and giving them too much space.

"We changed it in the second half and brought on Nathan Dyer who did really well.

"But it was too little too late and we cannot complain about the result."
