Jim O'Brien reveals motivation behind recent Notts County form following social media incident

Notts County midfielder Jim O'Brien has explained how belief in his work ethic is the only motivation he needs following a recent resurgence in form after social media abuse was directed towards the 34-year-old.

The Scotsman was the subject of a number of tweets following performances at the start of the National League season, with a minority of supporters suggesting that O'Brien was not good enough for Luke Williams' side.
