Harry Kewell has claimed that Notts County seem to finally be moving in the right direction although "time, blood, sweat and tears" will continue to be needed in pursuit of the upper reaches of the League Two table. The Magpies have now won their last two league games and are unbeaten in four, a stark turnaround from earlier in the season when they looked unfit for purpose in the fourth tier. “It’s looking good especially in the opposition half,” Kewell told the Nottingham Post after t

Notts County has confirmed the arrival of former Manchester City and Torquay United attacking wide man Arron Nemane on a two-year-deal. The French born 23-year-old winger arrives at Meadow Lane after the magpies successfully agreed compensation with Torquay to acquire his services. He joins former Plainmoor team-mate Kyle Cameron, who also joined Notts after opting to start a fresh challenge. Notts County head coach, Ian Burchnall said: "Aaron is one of the quickest players in the

In a recent chat, Junior Morias, the forward for Notts County, shared his thoughts on the game and how he navigates the internal competition within the team. Even though he occasionally feels disappointed about not making the starting line-up, Morias stays strong and stresses the need to keep a positive mindset, saying, "At the end of the day, the gaffer picks a team, and we all trust his judgment." Morias is well aware of the fierce competition for a starting position, and he apprecia

Blair Adams made his first Notts County appearance this season, returning from injury in Friday nights 2-0 defeat by Mansfield and says Notts players must put their bodies on the line when defending in dead ball situations. Notts have conceded from set ball deliveries in the opening games this season and also at the end of last season. He says "It's something we have to work on. You've got to want to head the ball away for the team, put your face in where it hurts

Kevin Nolan has praised Notts County following their impressive 1-0 win at Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday night, describing their showing as "a perfect performance". Loanee Jorge Grant grabbed his third goal in four games in the first half at Home Park as the Magpies more than matched their opponents, who are looking to secure promotion from League Two. The result puts Notts eight points clear of the bottom two and a step closer to safety, when a month ago it looked like they were standing

Shola Ameobi has claimed that Notts County are on the "cusp of something great" and says it influenced his decision to remain at Meadow Lane. The former Newcastle United striker signed on a free transfer in January and played a key role in the Magpies' bid to climb away from relegation last season. Now the 35-year-old, who penned a new deal at the club in the summer, believes he is in the correct environment to make further progress in the upcoming campaign as Kevin Nolan's team target

Notts County captain Michael O'Connor visited Scotholme Primary School in Hyson Green as part of the Football In The Community-delivered Premier League Primary Stars project. The midfielder, who is currently recovering from a long-term knee injury, signed autographs and participated in a Q&A with students eager to learn about the life of an athlete. The Premier League Primary Stars project uses the appeal of the Premier League and professional football clubs to inspire children to

Colchester United captain Luke Prosser has spoken of the incident where Notts County's Shola Ameobi allegedly elbowed him in the chest, and says he received an apology about it after the game. Just before half time, the veteran Magpies forward appeared to elbow Prosser in the chest, although referee Brendan Malone chose to take no action. Ameobi went on to score County's second goal in Saturday's 3-1 away win at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, which kept them in the hunt for a top

Notts County has continued to strengthen their promotion chasing team with the signing of experienced Football League midfielder Matt Palmer. The 26-year-old had been made available for a free transfer after leaving Swindon Town last season. Having appeared more than 200 times within the Football League, Palmer arrives at Meadow Lane on a 2-year-deal. Notts County head coach, Ian Burchnall said: "We’ve brought in two very talented young midfielders in Ed Francis and Frank Vincent

Notts County are good enough to launch a League Two playoff challenge next season, according to Shola Ameobi. The Magpies finished last season strongly, losing just once at home since Kevin Nolan took charge of the first team in January. Ameobi played a key role himself in driving the club out of relegation danger by scoring four goals following his arrival at the start of the year, and is now hoping for a top-seven finish. "I am always looking to do the best we can," he told the

Kevin Nolan has stressed that Yeovil Town must not be taken lightly when Notts County face them this evening despite their lowly position in the table. The Glovers currently sit in 17th place, having lost their last two games, and five of their last 10 fixtures. However, Nolan cast an eye back to February, when Notts and Yeovil played out a goalless draw, and also pointed to their wins over the likes of Accrington Stanley, Coventry City and Exeter City. "A lot of people will think

Notts County have announced the loan signing of Brighton & Hove Albion defender Ben Hall on a season-long loan. The 21-year-old Northern Irishman began his career at Dungannon Swifts before joining Motherwell in 2013. A central defender by trade, Hall made his first-team debut for the Scottish side in December 2015, and scored in a 2-0 win over St Johnstone later that month. Hall then joined the Seagulls from Motherwell for an undisclosed fee in June 2016, a move which riled t

Kevin Nolan has spoken highly of Adam Collin's big throw, describing it as a "proper weapon", and hopes the goalkeeper can continue making use of it as Notts County seek a grandstand finish in League Two. The Magpies came from behind to beat Colchester United 3-1 away last weekend, with Collin setting off a number of quick counterattacks by launching the ball upfield. “I thought Adam was absolutely tremendous again,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. “He has got an arm on him which

Notts County's new box-to-box midfielder, Matt Palmer believes the club are going places after signing a 2-year-deal. Palmer sees the move in the short term as gaining promotion back to the Football League, but has been attracted to the long term vision of the magpies' set by the Reedtz brothers and head coach, Ian Burchnall. Having joined Notts County after being released by Swindon Town, who had been relegated to League Two in their last campaign - the midfielder is keen to settle wi

In addressing the defensive challenges, Williams elaborated on the team's overall performance against a formidable opponent: "Some of the players were incredible, so well-organised, very difficult to break down.  But then if you just keep giving them a goal, and then we're playing like lunatics in the end, completely out of control because we're desperate. We make a stupid action three times, and now we have to play completely crazy to even get back on terms." Expressing his determinat

The Magpies will have to put the disappointment behind themselves, after their recent game against Mansfield. All focus must be on the task at hand, whilst of course pushing for all three points. Oxford United will most likely allow Notts to play, so it should make for an entertaining game within the lower tier. It’s important neither side sit back, as both teams are prone to making their own mistakes.  

On Saturday morning, the Notts County youth team played hosts to local rivals Burton Albion. In the fledgling league table, the Magpies were third with four points from two games, while the day's opponents were on three points from a single game. The only change to the Notts team was the loss of Ryan Ebanks, who was injured in last week's game and was replaced by Declan Dunn with George McCartney moving inside to centre-back from full-back.   The heavy rain in the early morning cl

Kevin Nolan has called for Notts County to give another "complete performance" when they visit Stevenage on Saturday. The Magpies claimed an impressive 1-0 win at Plymouth Argyle in midweek to edge further away from the League Two relegation zone. While the gaffer is aware of the threat posed by the weekend's in-form opponents, he is confident of a positive result if Notts replicate Tuesday's display. He told the official site: "Stevenage are on a great run, aren't they? They've w

Shola Ameobi has revealed that he was considering whether to call time on his career prior to joining Notts County, but says he knew it was "the right time to get back into the game" at Meadow Lane. Between May 2016 and February this year, he was without a club having been released by Fleetwood Town, but was snapped up by former Newcastle United teammate - and Magpies manager - Kevin Nolan to try and help a side then in danger of relegation from the Football League. However, five month

Kevin Nolan has reiterated that Notts County are still a team in transition and is still working towards the target of having enough points to beat the drop. The Magpies continue to sit top of League Two after more than a third of the way into the season, with 37 points - two more than second-placed Luton Town - from their first 18 games. Their 3-1 win over Cheltenham Town at the weekend was their 11th league victory of the campaign, but Nolan maintains that the targets will be reasses

Richard Duffy has stressed that Notts County are not giving up the fight for automatic promotion from League Two. The Magpies are three points behind the Chairboys - who take on Lincoln City at Sincil Bank tonight - in the race for a top-three spot. Notts are hoping for a favour from the Imps, who will move back into the playoff positions themselves if they can overcome Gareth Ainsworth’s side, and Duffy commented on how he sees his side going forward. “We can’t give it up and at

Notts County's head coach, Luke Williams, has provided insightful commentary on the positive influence of emerging talents within the squad, particularly highlighting the recent performance of 17-year-old James Sanderson.  However, Williams also commended the academy staff at the club for their crucial role in fostering young talents, paving a clear route for them to rise to the first team. Reflecting on Sanderson’s stellar first appearance, Williams couldn’t hide his enthusiasm about
