FUMING Notts County boss Luke Williams branded his side “weak” and “pathetic” after their humbling League Two return at Sutton United.
Goalkeeper Aiden Stone was sent off after just 15 minutes at Gander Green Lane. But Williams insisted that was no excuse for his side’s disappointing display.
Joe Kizzi opened the scoring for the hosts inside two minutes, before Omari Patrick’s brace made it 3-0.
Harry Beautyman grabbed the U’s fourth and Harry Smith added gloss with 12 minutes left after David McGoldrick got a mere consolation.
When asked if the sending off changed the game, angry Williams said: “Don’t dare say that because that’s a lie.
“We were weak and pathetic and the opposition were the total opposite of that. They were ferocious and really competitive and really impressive.
“We were thoroughly beaten and deserved to be thoroughly beaten. It had nothing to do with the sending off.
