Notts County boss Luke Williams says his side "came off the script" in their FA Cup qualifier. The Magpies were beaten 3-2 at home to Coalville Town.
It was a nightmare start for Notts who found themselves 1-0 down after just three minutes following a misplaced defensive header which lead to McGlinchey opening the scoring for the visitors.
But their lead didn't last long as Sam Austin levelled in the 9th minute from an Adebayo-Rowling cross in what was a frantic start at Meadow Lane.

Austin headed in from a Taylor cross to level the scores at 2-2 in the 66th minute. But in the 86th minute, Notts were caught out on the break again as Shaw scrambled the ball in for Coalville to complete the upset.
And the Notts boss admits that his side deserved to lose the game. He said: "We came off the script in the first 45 minutes, the opponent was really good and unfortunately we weren't.
"We controlled the opening stages but they did a great job putting bodies back deep and countering. They caused us a massive problem."
Despite a disjointed display from the hosts, the Magpies boss was keen not to blame it on the eight changes he made.
He added: "We prepared thoroughly but it would be crazy not to share the workload so I don't think there was a problem with the personnel. We let ourselves down, particularly in the first half.
"We are desperate to have the best possible league campaign. we did everything to win the game, although we could have played certain players."
