Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Aaron Collins has spoken fondly of his loan spell at Notts County, praising the club's staff, players and fans. The 19-year-old made 22 appearances for the Magpies - 18 from the bench - scoring three goals in all competitions, including a strike in the FA Cup against Boreham Wood. “I was able to settle into things really quickly,” Collins told the Wolves website. “I signed on a Thursday for Notts County, then on the Friday I trained with the team fo

Kevin Nolan has bemoaned Notts County's 2-1 defeat to Exeter City and rued a number of key refereeing decisions which he felt cost his side dear. The visitors raced into the lead after just eight minutes through Jake Taylor's tap-in before Stockley struck the decisive second just before half-time. Jon Stead scored a second-half penalty after Shola Ameobi was hauled down in the box but the Magpies couldn't find an equaliser and so lost their unbeaten home record which stretched back to

Harry Kewell has spoken of how he gets "10 times more" of a buzz as a coach than he ever did as a player as he prepares for his first home league game as Notts County manager. The Australia international won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005 as well as many other trophies, while also representing his country at the World Cup. Ahead of Saturday's home game with Stevenage, Kewell - who is hoping to steer Notts to just their second non-loss of the season - opened up on his fledg

Notts County midfielder Ollie Norburn says he has “settled in really well” at Meadow Lane and believes the Magpies have the quality to challenge at the top end of League Two, but has urged calm and focus ahead of Saturday’s trip to Prenton Park. The 32-year-old, who signed a one-year deal in the summer after leaving Blackpool, admitted he is still building full match sharpness after a long injury lay-off, but feels stronger with every appearance. “Yes, settled in really well,” he said. “Very goo

#themag is something I personally always enjoy and look forward to on Match Days. If I cannot make it, I will do my best to make sure it's not missed and so I usually walk down to Meadow Lane so I can obtain my copy to read with my son Jake. A feature that really stands out for me, is the personal notes from our Chairman Ray Trew. It brings an insightful view on recent on-going and his own thoughts ahead of games. His notes ahead of yesterdays match against Sheffield United is one I very

Brentford drawn 0-0 in their last game against Oldham. The Match Officials for Saturdays game

Notts County have pulled off an audacious raid on Huddersfield Town by fending off much competition to snap up Jon Stead. Stead’s arrival at Notts sends out a clear message to the rest of the division - that Notts are serious about promotion- with the attacker penning a two-year deal at Meadow Lane following his release by Huddersfield Town. Manager Ricardo Moniz wants his new side to be ruthless in front of goal next season and expects 60

Notts County manager has called on his players to play even better than they did against Luton Town and grab a first home win under his tenure against Hartlepool United. The Scot has two wins in his first three games in charge, but his one game at Meadow Lane ended badly as AFC Wimbledon cruised to a 2-0 win. Fullarton said: "I want to see improvement. Not only do I want an improvement on the previous home performance, and result, but an i

Notts County defender Haydn Hollis says he has worked harder than ever to get fit for the upcoming season and feels like the campaign will be one of the best ones the Magpies have had in recent years. The centre-back signed a one-year deal during the course of the summer, being one of only a handful of players from last season's campaign to be offered a new contract, but amid criticism about his distribution, he says he has ironed those flaws out and pledges to be more consistent. Holl

Notts County will begin the 2017/18 League Two season with a trip to Coventry City on Saturday 5 August. As fixtures go, it is arguably one of the trickiest propositions for the Magpies, with the Sky Blues coming down from League One the previous season. Things do not get easier either, with local rivals Chesterfield coming to Meadow Lane a week later in County's first home game of the campaign. In terms of the other first local clashes of the season, Lincoln City will head to the

Kevin Nolan has played down Shola Ameobi's hamstring injury, suggesting that he will not be out of action for too long. The veteran striker was forced off in Notts County's win over Morecambe last weekend and was unavailable for the midweek win over Swindon Town.

Well its getting close to the 'business end' of the season now as a lot of teams in League One thrust one concerted effort into either staying up or going up in the final few weeks of the season. In the lower reaches, Notts County have managed stage one of their 'Great Escape' by reaching the dizzy heights of 19th thanks to back to back wins over Colchester, Crewe and Carlisle, giving County fans something to cheer about.

After this interview, fans’ opinions were somewhat

John Sheridan has pledged to let a number of Notts County players go in order to bolster his squad as he prepares for the new season.

Speaking after the Walsall friendly, Sheridan told reporters: "I need to have a chat with one or two people to let them know where we stand. I will just be honest with them and try to mo

Mark Yeates has claimed that the next two games for Notts County - both at home - will have a huge bearing on whether the club will survive in League Two or not. The Magpies welcome Cheltenham Town to Meadow Lane at the weekend before hosting Exeter City on Tuesday evening. With Kevin Nolan's side just a point above the bottom two and basement side Newport County having a game in hand which, if won right now, would put them above Notts, Yeates wants his new club to keep up the good wor

Alan Hardy has spoken excitedly about the prospect of taking on Lincoln City this season in League Two and also of facing Coventry City in the very first game of the season, but was unhappy with the festive program. The EFL fixtures for each of their three divisions were published at 9am on Wednesday, with Pride of Nottingham at Meadow Lane to cover the reveal as it happened. The draw was not kind to the Magpies, however, as the Sky Blues and Chesterfield, both of whom were relegated f

Kevin Nolan has urged again for perspective at Notts County, reiterating the need to take each game as it comes and secure safety before reassessing the objectives for the season. The Magpies could make it eight games unbeaten in all competitions if they get a result away at Crawley Town on Saturday, with the Magpies sitting second in League Two.

Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County would be “in a much better place” had Mason Bennett’s loan move from Derby County not been thwarted by injury. The striker joined the Magpies on the last day of the January transfer window but was forced to return to Pride Park after rupturing his hamstring on his first start for the club against Barnet. “You only have to look at the impact Mason had when he came on against Crewe, got his goal and hit the bar,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post.

The lively midfielder scored nine goals in 24 National League appearances while at Stockport County and AFC Fylde last season.
