Here is how Barry Cooper rated the Magpies players.Adam Collin: Didn't have a huge amount to do in the game, and could do little about both Colchester goals, but his distribution will have annoyed John Sheridan at times. 5Matt Tootle: Will have been frustrated at the way in which Notts conceded their two goals, and like his fellow defenders, needs to do the simple things better....

  Joe Worrall today said he was 'embarrassed' to pick up the man of the match award after Nottingham Forest were beaten 2-0 by Wolves – and questioned whether every Reds player was 'relishing' playing for the club quite as much as they should. The teenage defender offered a remarkably open and honest assessment of the performance from Philippe Montanier's side, which was as flat and uninspired as any they have produced this season. Worrall fears Forest will get sucked into a relegation...

Six defeats in a row has seen Notts go from promotion contenders.
