  Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton said naivety was his side's downfall as they lost 2-0 at home to Bristol Rovers this afternoon. Cristiano Montano scored as a first-half substitute, having come on for the injured Liam Lawrence, when weak defending allowed him to fire the visitors into the lead. And more slack defending cost Notts early in the second half when a short corner caught them napping allowing Lee Brown to rifle home. The Magpies tried to get back into the game, but failed to...

  Preston head into their match at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night on the back of a 0-0 home draw with Championship promotion hopefuls Brighton.
