Captain Kyle Cameron says his Notts County side are "embarrassed" by this season's defensive performances.

The Magpies are sixth in League Two but only two teams have let in more goals than the 36 County have conceded.

Notts boss Luke Williams bemoaned his side's frail defence this week, saying he may run out of patience with some players' displays.

"We feel, as a group, it's been very sloppy and it's something we need to address," Cameron said.

"We feel embarrassed with the amount of goals we've conceded this season and the manner in which we've conceded them.

"Don't for one minute think we're sitting here happy as Larry one point off third and that it doesn't matter that we're conceding goals - of course we are disappointed."

Notts conceded just 52 goals in all competitions as they were promoted from the National League last season but have already let in 49 goals in all competitions in the first four months of their Football League return.

They have shipped more goals than second-bottom Forest Green Rovers, with only bottom team Sutton and strugglers Colchester conceding more.

"I think it has been massively magnified with accounts sharing it, making comments on it but it has to change and we need to knuckle down and change it," Cameron told BBC Radio Nottingham.

"We attack together, we defend together and it's everyone in the team who recognises that we need to make a change.

"On a general basis, we're doing OK. There's obviously areas that you will speak about that we need to improve on but on a general basis, on the table, I think we can be happy where we are."
