Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has called on his attacking players to be more ruthless in front of goal following their defeat at Plymouth Argyle. The Scot felt his side created the best chances during Saturday’s League Two clash between the Pilgrims and the Magpies at Home Park. Jon Stead weighed in with a number of chances in County’s 1-0 loss, while Adam Campbell fired wide in the closing minutes of the first half.

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton hasn't ruled out the option of adding new players to his squad once the emergency loan window reopens. The Scot has made just one signing so far in recruiting Gary MacKenzie on loan from Doncaster Rovers on transfer deadline day. Fullarton said: "The loan window is certainly an option to us, but much of it will depend on movement and circumstance.Whether we make a move for somebody or whether we don't,

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has praised the attitude of former defender Gill Swerts, describing him as a “gentleman”. The former Belgium international had his Magpies contract terminated by mutual consent on transfer deadline day – just six months into a two-year deal – after a move to Cypriot side Anorthosis Famagusta failed to materialise. Having started plenty of games at the start of the season, Swerts lost his place in the te

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has described Filip Valencic’s goal in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Crawley Town as straight off the training ground. The Slovenian struck a wonderful volley just after the hour mark at the Checkatrade.com Stadium to seal a first Magpies away win since the opening day of the season. "It was a fantastic strike by the young man who has responded well to the information we have been drip feeding into him over t

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has not ruled out adding fresh faces to his squad ahead of Monday's transfer deadline. The 41-year-old has not made any new signings since arriving at Meadow Lane as Ricardo Moniz's successor, though there have been departures in the shape of Nicky Wroe joining FC Halifax. Fullarton told reporters on Thursday: "We are still working through that aspect of making sure that anything we do improves us. It h

New Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton will give the club’s out of favour players the chance to make an impression before deciding their next move. Blair Adams, Nicky Wroe and Taylor McKenzie were all frozen out under previous boss Ricardo Moniz, and were sent on loan to Mansfield, Halifax and Wrexham respectively. All three players are either back at Meadow Lane or will be back soon, and Fullarton is eager to give the trio a clean slate

Notts County have confirmed that they will be announcing their new managerial appointment in a press conference on Monday. Speculation is rife that the successful candidate is Nottingham Forest Under-21s development coach Jamie Fullarton, who jumped straight to the top of the bookies’ list to become odds-on favourite, and Colin Slater also suggested that the 41-year-old - who, like County's three previous managers, Chris Kiwomya, Shaun Derry and Ricardo Moniz, has

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has decided to focus on the positives from his side’s game at Accrington Stanley as they travel to Plymouth Argyle at the weekend. The Magpies were beaten 3-2 at the Crown Ground in midweek, though their performance was arguably better than the one that saw them lose at home to Leyton Orient last weekend. Despite upheaval off the pitch, with Ray Trew stepping down as chairman and putting the club up for

Jamie Fullarton has admitted he is in "no rush" to make new signings for Notts County as he prepares to enter the final week of the transfer window.  The new manager is yet to add new blood to his squad, stressing that he is keen to give every player the chance to impress before deciding on incomings or outgoings. As a result, Blair Adams is to stay at Meadow Lane instead of extending his loan at Mansfield Town, while Alan Smith’s supposed

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has admitted he is hoping to make further additions to his squad this week. The former Nottingham Forest Under-21 coach signed defender Andrew Boyce last week on a loan deal until the end of the season from Scunthorpe United. With Notts without a win in six, Fullarton says he is looking for players who can strengthen a front line that has gone four games without a goal. "We are

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has pledged to work on getting his side to become more dangerous in front of goal after failing to score for four games in a row at Meadow Lane. On Saturday, Bristol Rovers sealed a 2-0 win as the Magpies fell behind to a Cristian Montano goal before seeing Lee Brown double the lead after half-time. The current Notts boss said: "We were always looking to get back into the game and for us to push on. We

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has described the first 20 minutes of his side’s game at York City as the best under his tenure, and left it late to make changes because he was confident his starting XI could force an equaliser. The Magpies fell two goals behind at Bootham Crescent in the first half as Michael Coulson and Bradley Fewster struck for the hosts, and although Lubo Satka’s second-half own goal kept the visitors in the game, 2-1 was the final score

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has claimed he will not appoint an assistant manager for the sake of it, with no updates on an appointment thus far. The Magpies boss has been without a right-hand man since his arrival last month after the club sacked Ricardo Moniz and assistants Dave Kevan and Dean Yates.  Current under-21s coach Richard Dryden has been assisting Fullarton both in training and on matchdays. Th

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has confirmed that he will be giving Blair Adams a chance to impress in the Magpies squad. The defender has been on loan at rivals Mansfield Town for the last three months with his performances prompting Stags boss Adam Murray to offer the defender a permanent deal. Fullarton played down reports of Adams leaving for good, saying: "Blair's loan expired this week and having only just walked through the do

Notts County boss Jamie Fullarton says he understands the pain Will Hayhurst is going through as he too has suffered knee ligament injuries. The former Preston North End winger, 21, is undergoing rehabilitation for his own cruciate problem, and is not expected to be fit until the summer. He has also not kicked a ball competitively for Notts since April 2015 and is out of contract at Meadow Lane at the end of the season. &

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has called on his charges to produce a more positive result in his second home game, against Leyton Orient, than they managed in the first. The Magpies boss has been at the helm for five matches since taking over from Ricardo Moniz, but only one has been at Meadow Lane - a 2-0 defeat to play-off chasing AFC Wimbledon.  He said: “We've only had one home game and it was against a team that's pushing for t

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has blamed fine margins for his side’s League Two defeat against AFC Wimbledon. The Dons recorded a 2-0 victory at Meadow Lane to extend their unbeaten run to six games, with striker Tom Elliott and winger Andy Barcham bagging the goals to give the new Magpies boss a loss in his first home game. Fullarton said: "Major incidents in games change how they pan out. They scored a fantastic goal after about t

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has empathised with fans who booed him and his team in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat against Leyton Orient at Meadow Lane. The Scot has presided over three wins in his first six games, but both home games, against the O’s and AFC Wimbledon, saw the Magpies walk back into the tunnel with no points. A minority of supporters chanted against Fullarton late on against Orient, and Notts were booed off come full time.

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has claimed that his ambition at the club is “to produce a football team which the fans are proud of”, but that it will take time to achieve this. The 41-year-old Scot began life at the Magpies helm in promising fashion with a solid 1-0 win at Crawley, but this was followed up by a lacklustre 2-0 defeat against AFC Wimbledon at Meadow Lane. Fullarton told reporters on Thursday: "My aim, and it is my sol

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 manager Jamie Fullarton has admitted that the club reluctantly agreed to let Jimmy Spencer leave after he expressed a desire to find first-team football. The striker left Meadow Lane last Friday and subsequently signed a six-month deal with Shaun Derry's Cambridge United, for whom he scored on his debut at Leyton Orient on Saturday. The forward had struggled to regain his first-team place after a serious knee injury in the sum

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has claimed that his players are growing in confidence with each passing game. Since replacing Ricardo Moniz at the helm, the Scot has overseen a return of nine points from a possible 15 in League Two. On Tuesday night, the Magpies survived a fightback from Hartlepool United to secure a 3-2 win. They had been two goals up at Victoria Park at half time, before being pegged back by their hosts, only for J
