Nathan Thomas has claimed that Notts County are beginning to find their feet and thinks some teams will find themselves on the receiving end of a "good hiding". The Magpies are yet to win a game this season but have drawn their last two games - 3-3 with Stevenage and 0-0 against Northampton Town - which has helped lift them off the bottom of the League Two table. Thomas, who scored in the reserves’ 3-2 win over Peterborough United on Monday, feels the squad will soon start to fire up t

Jon Stead has suggested that Notts County's players have not been "putting in the miles" as he spoke about the team's poor form of late. There has been much discussion about lack of fitness among the fans as the Magpies remain stuck at the bottom of League Two with just two points to their name all season. Indeed, new manager Harry Kewell has claimed that his players need to get fitter and that they are making poor errors because of tiredness. "It's a difficult one. It might not e

Harry Kewell has claimed that he knew exactly what he was getting into when accepting the Notts County manager's job. The Magpies have endured a spectacular fall from grace in going from the playoff semi-finals last season to dropping right to the foot of League Two. Kewell lost his first two matches in charge but managed to scrape a point in Saturday's 3-3 draw with Stevenage, albeit having been pegged back three times. "I knew exactly what I was getting into. I'd watched a coupl

Left-back Evina spent last season on loan at the Checkatrade Stadium, having previously helped Doncaster Rovers win promotion to League One in 2016-17. The 26-year-old began his career at Arsenal and also had stints at Oldham and Charlton Athletic. As for centre-back Turley, 28, he made 34

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

Rob Milsom is glad to put a "crazy few months" behind him as he returned to Notts County after being released in the summer. The former Magpies Player of the Year fell out of first-team contention last season and was eventually let go, eventually getting a trial at Crawley Town. Since his move to the West Sussex club, Notts have fallen from grace, leading to the departure of Kevin Nolan and the arrival of Harry Kewell from the same club. Now back at County as part of a loan move e

Harry Kewell has admitted that he would like one or two more recruits to bolster the Notts County squad although he stresses he is "happy" with his current crop. The Magpies did the bulk of their transfer business early in the summer with numerous high-profile players arriving at Meadow Lane. However, the Notts back line has been woefully exposed time and time again this season, the outcome of which is no wins and a spot at the bottom of the League Two table. With the permanent an

Harry Kewell has moved to reassure Notts County's fans that the team is "going to improve" for sure but he nonetheless called for patience. The Magpies were beaten 5-1 by Exeter City at the weekend, with the Australian sent to the stands in his first league game in charge since succeeding Kevin Nolan as manager. Kewell thanked the 278 supporters who had made the long trip to Devon and promised brighter days ahead with the team currently in transition. "I want to thank them for com

Harry Kewell has criticised the performance of referee Neil Hair following his disastrous first league game in charge of Notts County. The Australian was banished to the stands as the Magpies went 4-1 down at Exeter City for arguing whether his side should have been awarded a penalty. Nonetheless, Kewell had no complaints as Notts were eventually beaten 5-1 at St James' Park. "We went in at 2-1 and it was game on," Kewell told Sky Sports. "I was confident we were going to get

Harry Kewell has outlined the need for Notts County to be smarter in possession if they are to stop their current rot. The Magpies are currently at the bottom of League Two, having claimed just one point on the opening day of the season. Kewell, who has recently replaced Kevin Nolan as manager, has taken charge of one game so far, the 2-1 loss to Grimsby Town in the EFL Trophy. The former Crawley Town boss was pleased with what he saw in the first half of the game but felt his pla

Jonathan Forte enjoyed four different spells at Notts County - three on loan and one permanent. No Magpies fan can doubt his commitment to the cause at Meadow Lane, and many were bemused to see him on the fringes of Kevin Nolan's team for much of last season. Now at Exeter City, Forte's new team will be facing Notts, who are having a real bad time at the minute and head to St James' Park tomorrow in hope of getting their first win of the season, or at least their second point of the ca

Notts County travel down to pre-season promotion favourites Exeter City at the weekend. In this game, Harry Kewell will take charge of the Magpies his first League Two game since being appointed manager at the end of August succeeding Kevin Nolan.

Notts currently sit rock bottom of the Football League, while the

Paul Hart has returned to Notts County by being appointed as the club's new technical director. The former Magpies academy manager and caretaker boss will form part of a new football structure at Meadow Lane which announced Harry Kewell as their new manager last Friday. Last season, Hart enjoyed promotion from League Two in his role of assistant manager to Nathan Jones at Luton Town. “Paul is a superb addition for us,” Alan Hardy told the official website. “Not only is he one of t

Harry Kewell has warned Notts County's players that anyone who shirks hard work will be out of the starting XI right away as he bids to mould the team into one that wins "however that may be". The former Liverpool, Leeds United and Australia winger was appointed last week as Kevin Nolan's replacement, the latter dismissed with the Magpies at the foot of League Two. “I want to win, however that may be," Kewell told the official Notts site. "We’ll have a plan and a structure but tha

Notts County owner Alan Hardy has admitted that he would not have bought the club were he able to turn back time and also described himself as "not the ideal football chairman". Hardy enjoyed a superb 18 months from when he took over at Meadow Lane in January 2017 to the end of last season, helping the Magpies survive relegation against all odds in 2016-17 before sealing a playoff finish the following term. However, things have not gone to plan this season, with the Notts team putting

Notts County have announced the signing of experienced centre-back Elliott Ward on a free transfer. The Magpies were believed to be in the market for a defender following a dreadful start to the League Two campaign. On Monday afternoon, Ward was confirmed to have arrived at Meadow Lane, though the contract length has not been disclosed. The 33-year-old has played professional football for nearly 14 years, with a tally of more than 300 appearances at every level of the English prof

Notts County disappointed yet again on Saturday as Forest Green Rovers ran out 3-1 winners at Meadow Lane. The result left the ten-man Magpies rock bottom of League Two but frankly it could have been even harsher on Harry Kewell's new side. Liam Shephard opened the scoring when he rifled past Ross Fitzsimons in the first half and, after the restart, Dan Jones walked for a two-footed lunge on Lloyd James. Forest Green then had a goal ruled out but soon after doubled their lead when

Notts County's season continues to go from bad to worse as Forest Green Rovers enjoyed a comfortable 3-1 win over the 10-man Magpies at Meadow Lane on Saturday. With Kevin Nolan no longer at the helm, Richard Thomas also let go, and Steve Chettle at a wedding, the reins were taken by goalkeeping coach Mark Thomas and academy boss Jon Goodman. Though Harry Kewell was in attendance, his first game will not be until midweek, while his first media duties will be taken on Monday. On th

Crawley Town's director of football has spoken of Harry Kewell's move to Notts County, saying the Australian "made it clear" he wanted to speak to the Magpies for the job. Kewell was one of the names touted to replace Kevin Nolan at the helm of the Meadow lane outfit, and rumours picked up pace on Thursday before the appointment was confirmed on Friday morning. Selim Gaygusuz said a deal was agreed - with a compensation package reported by the press to have been set at £400,000 - and a
