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,"

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 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 captain John Thompson has claimed that Notts County looked "a bit devoid of ideas" as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at Chesterfield on Sunday. The Magpies' televised League Two clash at the Proact Stadium was the archetypal "bad day" as they conceded two goals before the break due to dreadful defending. Although Dan Jones halved the deficit late on, the following nine minutes of stoppage time only yielded another goal for the Spireites as Matt Tootle gave away a penalty

Carl Dickinson has defended Notts County's style of play and is adamant that winning promotion from League Two would be great for "shutting a few people up". The Magpies have received criticism this season over how they play, which has seen plenty of moments in games where the ball is lumped up top. Dickinson, however, thinks accusations of being a long-ball side are wide of the mark and says their play is "effective" as they aim to make it five games unbeaten at Chesterfield on Sunday

Shola Ameobi has stressed that he and other senior members of the Notts County contingent must "set the tone" for the rest of the squad. The veteran striker has experience playing at the top level for Newcastle United and at international level for Nigeria. Ameobi is one of several such players and coaches at Meadow Lane, with Kevin Nolan, Mark Crossley, Jon Stead and Alan Smith also enjoying playing careers at the top level. All must play their part in helping the rest of the Mag

Kevin Nolan has stressed that Notts County will show Chesterfield "ultimate respect" when they lock horns in League Two on Sunday. The Magpies remain in the promotion hunt and will travel to the Proact Stadium for a second game against local rivals in quick succession following the Mansfield Town home draw. Unlike the Stags, though, the Spireites are six points adrift of safety in the bottom two of the table, but Nolan is not taking their lowlier league position for granted. “It’s

Former Notts County captain Neal Bishop has revealed how he was happy to just play "pub football" up until his mid-twenties but is glad to have taken the risk to go professional. The 36-year-old has enjoyed a fruitful career in the Football League, playing for the likes of County, Blackpool and Scunthorpe United, where he remains today. Bishop is loved by the Black and White Army for his four years of service at Meadow Lane, making close to 200 appearances between 2009 and 2013. H

The programme, delivered in partnership with The English Football League Trust and Ferrero, is a free school-based educational programme for primary school children. It seeks to encourage physical activity, promote nutritional education and build awareness of the importance of a healthy diet and active lifest

Kevin Nolan has issued a rallying battle cry to all of the Notts County contingent as the League Two season enters its final stages. The Magpies have just eight games left and they currently sit fourth in the table, still with a great chance of an automatic promotion spot and likely to at least finish in the top seven. Up next is Sunday's trip to Chesterfield, which will be shown on Sky Sports, and Nolan wants everybody to unite for the remainder of the season to help pull off somethin

What's been happening in League Two over the last week? Here is Pride of Nottingham's round-up of the biggest League Two news from the last seven days. - Swindon Town signed free agent Ryan McGivern on a short-term deal until the end of the season. The Northern Ireland defender, 28, was released by Northampton Town in January. - Grimsby Town signed forward Gary McSheffrey on a deal until the end of the season.

Alan Hardy has claimed that he "never, ever expected" Notts County to be gunning for promotion from League Two in his first full season as chairman. The Magpies are currently fourth in the table with just eight games remaining, a remarkable turnaround from the battle to remain in the Football League this time last year. Hardy, who took over at Meadow Lane in January 2017, says a stable season of consolidation was the original aim for this campaign and seeing Notts in the upper tiers of

Former Notts County loanee and Aston Villa star Jack Grealish has spoken of how playing under so many managers has impacted on his development and feels that only three managers have trusted him. The 22-year-old burst onto the scene on loan at Meadow Lane during the 2013-14 season, his performances in tandem with fellow loanee Callum McGregor delighting the Black and White Army during an otherwise poor campaign. Grealish then returned to Villa and took his form from his Notts loan spel

Noor Husin has stated that Kevin Nolan was instrumental in his decision to join Notts County and feels he can progress as a player under the former Premier League stalwart. The 21-year-old was on the books of Crystal Palace but opportunities were few and far between for him at Selhurst Park, especially once Sam Allardyce was named as their new manager. Husin caught Nolan's eye when he scored against them whilst on loan at Accrington Stanley and, when Palace made him available for trans

Notts County defender Matt Tootle has admitted the illness he had in January knocked a lot out of him but feels he is slowly building his form back up. The 27-year-old was sidelined for almost almost a month at the start of the year due to a virus that caused him to lose a lot of weight. However, Tootle was able to return to action in February and has been returning to form, putting in impressive performances at the back. “The illness really knocked me and I perhaps didn’t realise

Terry Hawkridge has reassured Notts County fans by stressing that the players will not struggle to get over their last-ditch 1-1 draw to Mansfield Town last weekend. The Magpies were on the verge of recording a first league win over the Stags since 2005 in front of a bumper crowd that braved the snowy conditions at Meadow Lane. Kevin Nolan's boys took the lead in the first half through Hawkridge, but the Stags were given the chance to equalise eight minutes into the seven minutes of ad

Matt Tootle has praised the Notts County fanbase and believes he has a special bond with the supporters. The full-back is one of the team's most liked players due to his impressive performances - complete with the odd goal - and his eccentric, likeable nature, which includes the 'slug' goal celebration. Tootle says he is relishing the relationship with the fans and hopes he can reward their backing by helping Notts to promotion. “I think that they think I am one of them,” he told

Former Notts County youth player Jamie Parkes is pleased to have found his vocation as a jockey and is hoping to embark on a long and successful career in the horse riding world. The 18-year-old admitted he was "heartbroken" when, as a 15-year-old with a height of 4 foot 11, he was released from Notts County for being too small. Mick Leonard, his coach at the time, had to break the bad news to Parkes - now 5 foot 8, a similar height to Lionel Messi and taller than Diego Maradona and Al

Notts County manager Kevin Nolan has claimed that the weekend 1-1 draw with Mansfield Town felt like a defeat to his players. Terry Hawkridge gave the Magpies the lead in Saturday's League Two derby, played in front of a bumper crowd at Meadow Lane and in wintry conditions. However, referee Andy Woolmer played beyond the seven minutes of stoppage time and, when Alessandra handballed with his arm in the area, he awarded Mansfield a penalty. Kane Hemmings then slotted home from 12 y

Former Notts County defender Sol Campbell has suggested that he didn't get the Grimsby Town job due to a lack of experience. The 43-year-old has been linked with a number of managerial roles but is yet to secure his first coaching job since he retired from football in 2011. Campbell, once a star for Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and England was believed to be in talks to take the reins at Oxford United in February but nothing came of it. This led to the one-time Magpie appearance hol

Former Notts County manager Martin Allen has just begun his fifth spell in charge of Barnet. The 50-year-old, who had a spell at Meadow Lane between 2011 and 2012, remains well liked at Meadow Lane. But much like one of those annoying on-off relationships between Z-list celebrities that are constantly plastered all over the news, Allen and Barnet find themselves together once again. Allen, whose love story with the Bees began in 2003, saw his fourth spell in charge end in 2016 whe

Notts County came so close to claiming a first league victory against Mansfield Town since 2005 but ultimately fell just short as the opposition scored a late penalty in what ended as a 1-1 draw.. The big League Two derby, which kicked off at 1pm, saw the Magpies take the lead midway through the first half at a snowy Meadow Lane. Terry Hawkridge was the man who scored the opener, a scrappy goal bundled home from close range after Conrad Logan had palmed Shola Ameobi's header back out i
