Kevin Nolan has done a great job to turn Notts County around, Lincoln City manager Danny Cowley has stated. This weekend marks a year since Nolan has taken charge of a Magpies match and, in that time, the club has gone from the bottom rungs of the League Two table to the top three. "Kevin Nolan’s done a great job. He’s been there a year and he’s turned that club round,” Cowley, speaking ahead of Saturday's meeting between the two sides at Sincil Bank, told Lincolnshire Live. “I’ve

Notts County midfielder Liam Walker has written himself into Gibraltar's history as his late goal against Latvia gave the British Overseas Territory their first ever win as a FIFA nation. Gibraltar and Latvia faced off in a friendly on Sunday at Victoria Park, the first time the stadium hosted their country's football team in two years. The last game on the Rock was against the same opposition, on 29 March 2016, and the result on that day was a 5-0 hammering for Gibraltar. However

Former Notts County manager Ian "Charlie" McParland has given his thoughts on Kevin Nolan's dismissal at Meadow Lane as well as the concept of paying compensation for a replacement. Nolan was let go on Sunday after the Magpies fell to their fourth League Two defeat in a row at Lincoln City. Two of the three managers supposedly being headhunted by Alan Hardy were believed to be Crawley Town’s Harry Kewell and AFC Wimbledon’s Neal Ardley. “For me, there are a lot of good managers ou

Notts County have announced the permanent signing of Kyle Wootton from Scunthorpe United. The 23-year-old has been sensational at Meadow Lane since his loan switch last summer, scoring 12 goals so far. Neal Ardley admitted last week that Notts had working for two months on turning the transfer of Wootton into a permanent one and it has certainly reaped dividends. Wootton has signed a deal that runs until the end of the 2021-22 season and whilst the fee is officially undisclosed, t

Macaulay Langstaff was a standout player in Notts County's 3-1 victory over Accrington Stanley at Meadow Lane this past Saturday, according to head coach Luke Williams.  The Magpies went top as a result of this victory, and Williams had high praise for Langstaff's performance. Williams praised Langstaff for scoring two brilliant goals in the game.

Shaun Derry will always have a place in the hearts of Notts County fans after his miraculous work in keeping the Magpies up during the 2013-14 season. Born in Nottingham, he began his career at Meadow Lane before making a name for himself at a host of clubs including Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Queens Park Rangers, proving a popular figure in every team he graced. In November Derry was appointed Notts manager, where six wins in his last nine games and a draw

Notts County defender Blair Adams has thanked Mansfield Town manager Adam Murray for helping restore his confidence after former boss Ricardo Moniz froze him out of the Magpies first team. The 24-year-old played for Notts in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to AFC Wimbledon, his first game for the Magpies since returning from a three-month loan spell with the Stags.

Notts County have completed the signing of midfielder Michael O'Connor on a two-year contract. Former Northern Ireland international O'Connor, who turned down the offer of a new deal at Port Vale, is the Magpies' sixth signing of the close season. The 28-year-old started out at Crewe Alexandra before spells at Scunthorpe United, Rotherham United and Vale, who he joined in the summer of 2014. O'Connor has made a total of 267 league appearances, scoring 51 goals, and has played 11 t

Liam Noble is a wiser and much improved player who should be snapped up by Notts County in a heartbeat, according to former teammate Adam Campbell. The midfielder, now at Forest Green Rovers playing under another former Magpies employee in manager Mark Cooper, was subject of a bid by his former club that was turned down by the newly promoted club. Noble was released a year ago following a campaign marred by a poor disciplinary record, but for Forest Green he has not been sent off and h

Carl Dickinson has claimed that Notts County have got back some of their mojo following impressive wins in their last two games. The Magpies endured a mixed October in terms of results and performances, but they finished the month with a 3-0 victory over Newport County. That result was followed up by a 4-2 win over Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup first round, overturning a two-goal deficit in exhilarating fashion. “Over the last few weeks I think people have seen that we have got a b

Kevin Nolan has slammed his Notts County side for failing to even do the basics as they were beaten 3-1 by Chesterfield in Sunday's League Two encounter at the Proact Stadium. The Magpies were sub-par in Derbyshire as Sid Nelson and Zavon Hines made the most of defensive mistakes to put the Spireites two up by the break. Notts then halved the deficit with a Dan Jones free kick late on but not even nine minutes of stoppage time could push them to find an equaliser, instead conceding aga

Notts County have had an eventful Friday morning as Harry Kewell was officially appointed as manager while Rob Milsom rejoined his former club. Both arrivals have been plucked from Crawley Town, their manager penning a contract of undisclosed length and midfielder Milsom joining initially on loan until January, when the deal is expected to become permanent. In what has been a bumper morning, Crawley assistant manager Warren Feeney also comes along with Kewell, while several boardroom c

New Notts County defender Richard Duffy says he aims to bring stability and experience to the squad and believes consistency is the best trait in the "grind" of League Two. The former Wales international put pen to paper on a two-year deal at Meadow Lane after rejecting a contract offer at Port Vale.

"It's disappointing after such a goo

Matt Tootle has praised Notts County's fans for spurring the players on in their FA Cup victory over Bristol Rovers at Meadow Lane. The visitors led 2-0 after the first 15 minutes thanks to goals from Liam Sercombe and Stuart Sinclair to seemingly set up a long, torrid evening for the Black and White Army.

Jack Lester spoke of how Chesterfield "stifled Notts County from start to finish" in their 3-1 win over the Magpies in Sunday's League Two meeting at the Proact Stadium. The Magpies were feeble at the back as goals from Sid Nelson and Zavon Hines put the Spireites two up at the break.
