I have a confession to make. I feel sorry for Forest fans. They so desperately want the Cloughie years to return; to be European Champions again. But the facts of the matter are that those days will never be repeated – so long as money falls from the Sky into the lake of professional football to make the big clubs richer, the small clubs poorer, and the gap filled by the ‘also-ran’ clubs, which currently seems to stretch from the middle of the Premiership into the

Notts County's manager, Luke Williams, said that the midweek break will be a good break for his team, because they have been fighting for the National League title. The Magpies suffered their second defeat of the season against Dagenham and Redbridge in a surprise victory over the league leaders on Saturday evening. Inih Effiong, a former Notts player, scored a late goal that sealed the triumph for the visitors. Despite the defeat at Meadow Lane, Williams' team had an impressive performance

Luke Williams has clarified the absence of two players from his Notts County team during their loss to Wrexham on Monday. Aden Baldwin and Richard Brindley did not participate in the Magpies' 3-2 defeat at The Racecourse Ground, despite featuring in the previous game against Wealdstone three days prior. During the 3-0 victory against Stuart Maynard's team, the pair played in the back three, with Brindley making his first start for Notts in nearly three months. Brindley had been battling a r

After our interview with Mr Trew, interestingly it splurged some healthy and open discussion as to regards a comment made by our chairman. “We do have 2 more targets in our sights – 1 being a midfielder who is an International and the other is a striker” The striker hinted at was Adam Coombes, a player who we featured not that long ago and is a player highly regarded by Chelsea fans. The international player, well it left room for debate but after several reports in the local media, Notts

The F.A Cup is a major opportunity lost by exiting in the first round. It's the perfect opportunity to spread a little cheer among the fan base, gather results and of course add money to the coffers. All things which Notts County could all do with in abundance. Everybody always looks forward to the trips away, whilst the possibility of gracing a top tier team at Meadow lane – but is all really lost? I don't believe it is.   Notts c

Speculation has emerged that former Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Reading manager Steve Coppell is in line to become Jamie Fullarton’s assistant at Notts County. The 60-year-old was at the Magpies’ last home game against Leyton Orient, while Notts chief executive Julian Winter revealed Fullarton is "in dialogue" with somebody over the position. Asked directly if the person he is speaking to about the No.2 role is Coppell, Fullarton a

On loan Striker Chris Iwelumo is making his desire known about wanting to join Notts County on a permanent basis. He's spent the majority of his career playing above the 3rd tier of English football and would certainly add depth to our team, with his previous time at Colchester United being a prime example of what he brings to any team. Despite finding it hard to establish himself in Gianfranco Zola's starting eleven, Iwelumo has been received fairly well by our supporters and thi

New Notts County striker Izale McLeod has made an immediate mark at Meadow Lane since his arrival a month ago, nabbing two goals in three league games plus another in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy to give the Notts faithful a hint of hope for the season ahead. Prior to his arrival in the East Midlands, however, the 30-year-old was involved in a long and protracted transfer saga with former club Crawley Town – who the Magpies face tonight. A

McLeod was unveiled to a warm reception at half time during the Magpies' league game against Accrington Stanley, which finished 1-1. Chairman Ray Trew told the club

Notts County striker Izale McLeod has claimed his side can still push for promotion, while he believes he can still reach 20 goals this season.  The Magpies' top scorer, with nine goals, returns to old club Crawley Town this afternoon, having left the Reds for Meadow Lane in the summer for a fee said to be over £100,000. But with new manager Jamie Fullarton in charge, McLeod believes a nine-point gap to the play-off places in League Two is

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. Despite Dan Jones' goal against his former club halving the deficit, the hosts sealed victory in the last minute of stoppage time as Kristian Dennis converted from the penalty spot. “It was superb,"

Notts County defender Jacob Bedeau has highlighted the team’s defensive improvement this season, crediting the collective effort from the squad in maintaining their impressive form at the back.   Since arriving at Meadow Lane in the summer after leaving Morecambe, the 25-year-old has become a key part of Stuart Maynard’s side, forming a strong partnership with Matty Platt and helping to protect goalkeeper Alex Bass. Reflecting on the team’s defensive performances, Bedeau acknowledged a

The victory extended County’s unbeaten run to four matches and brought a sense of reward for a squad that had come close on several occasions earlier in the campaign. For Bedeau, the conditions on the day meant that it was less about style and more about substance. “Yeah, I think because of the conditions, ob
