Mansfield Town boss Steve Evans has praised Kevin Nolan for his great management of Notts County and admits tomorrow's derby is a benchmark for the Stags. The Magpies have soared to the top of League Two after 10 games and boast a six-game winning run in which they have conceded just one goal. Mansfield were tipped to be challenging for promotion but hit a snag in midweek as they fell to a 3-0 defeat at Cheltenham Town. "First and foremost, congratulations to Kevin Nolan; what a j

Harry Kewell has confirmed that Notts County will appeal Jamie Turley’s red card at MK Dons as a one-match suspension looms on the recent new signing. Referee Michael Salisbury caused uproar when he dismissed the centre-back for a professional foul in the 59th minute following a challenge on Rhys Healey which earned Paul Tisdale’s side a penalty. The Magpies were leading 1-0 at the time through Lewis Alessandra but Chuks Aneke scored the resulting spot kick before the franchise went on

Notts County midfielder Ed Francis has officially joined Gateshead, a fellow National League team, for the remainder of the season, as confirmed by the club. The 23-year-old, who signed from Harrogate in 2021, has played in just 13 games for the Magpies this season, and only featured once in the past 11 league games. Since John Bostock's arrival in December 2022, Francis has been relegated to a lower spot in the midfield hierarchy. In his pursuit for more regular playing time, Francis has m

Leyton Orient maintained their winning start to the League Two season, remaining top of the table with five wins from five matches after beating Bristol Rovers 2-0 at Brisbane Road.

Morecambe took the lead against Notts County through Alan Goodall, but were pegged back soon before half time by Gen

Notts County manager John Sheridan has claimed that he would have booed his own side alongside the supporters following their Accrington Stanley defeat. The Magpies were jeered off the pitch by the Meadow Lane faithful as their four-match unbeaten came to an end with Saturday's meek 2-0 loss against the Lancashire side. "I understand the supporters as the performance didn't merit appreciation," Sheridan told BBC Radio Nottingham. "I wasn't happy watching it. I could've booed. But

Notts County coach Mark Crossley has revealed how Cardiff City have allowed the Magpies to use their training facilities ahead of tonight's FA Cup fourth-round meeting with Swansea City. The first game finished 1-1 at Meadow Lane which meant a replay at the Liberty Stadium for a place in the fifth round and a trip to Sheffield Wednesday. Cardiff are now hoping to see their bitter South Welsh rivals beaten at the second attempt and Crossley says the Bluebirds are paying back a favour.

Kevin Nolan has acknowledged that Notts County 'got what they deserved' as they fell to a 2-1 loss at Grimsby Town on Saturday. Nathan Clarke fired the Mariners in front only for Dan Jones to stab home late on to seemingly salvage a point. As has been the case one too many times this season, however, Notts bottled it when it counted the most, Jamille Matt scoring a stoppage-time winner to firmly shut the door on County's automatic promotion ambitions. Magpies boss Nolan was frustr

Notts County have confirmed the appointment of Chris Kiwomya as permanent first-team manager. The 43-year old, whose career progression has been impressive since joining the Magpies as development squad manager only last year, has signed a three-year deal at Meadow Lane.

On loan winger Stephen McLaughlin is set to return to parent club Nottingham Forest, unless an extention can be agreed between Shaun Derry and Stuart Pearce for the services of the 24 year old Irish born player. He featured in his last game yesterday for the magpies, in a narrow 1-0 away win over Scunthorpe United which saw Notts County move to 3rd within the league.

League leaders Leyton Orient were thrashed 4-0 by Exeter City at St. James Park, as Tom Nichols scored twice from the penalty spot and Alex Nicholls and David Wheeler rounded off the scoring. The East London outfit remains first but Wycombe Wanderers are hot on their heels, having moved up to second in the table after they beat Hartlepool United 2-1, with the result being Pools's third defeat on the bounce. Teddy Sheringham picked up anoth

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

Michael O'Connor has urged Notts County to have a look at changing tactics when playing at home and treat each game as if they were the away team. The Northern Irishman compared his side's away form, in which they have won two of three this season, to their home form, which hasn't yielded a single win.  "Away from home we are set up to counter-attack whereas at home we are asked to get on the front foot straight away," the Magpies skipper told reporters. "Maybe that's something we

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has hit out at the match officials in charge of Tuesday night's League Two fixture at Doncaster Rovers, which ended in a 3-1 defeat for the Magpies. The visitors took the lead through Richard Duffy, but strikes from James Coppinger and John Marquis either side of the break put Donny in the lead. Notts thought they had equalised when Haydn Hollis headed home in the second half, but the flag went up to rule the goal out, much to the bemusement of the travell

Kevin Nolan believes his Notts County side "more than matched" Wigan Athletic, but admits work needs to be done regarding the Magpies' defending. Saturday's pre-season friendly at Meadow Lane saw Lewis Alessandra give Notts the lead in emphatic fashion, but a Richard Duffy own goal and a Callum Lang strike gave the Latics the win. Nolan told the official site: "Throughout the 90 minutes we more than matched them and made a lot of chances. "But the manner in which we gave away the

Kevin Nolan has expressed his desire to keep Jorge Grant at Notts County beyond January. The 23-year-old, who is in his second spell at Meadow Lane on loan from Nottingham Forest, has been a revelation for the Magpies. After scoring six times for Notts in the final three months of last season, Grant has netted eight in 2017-18 and is League Two's joint-top scorer. Nolan has confirmed that there is a release clause in his contract, telling BBC Radio Nottingham: "There is but not un

Swansea City boss Carlos Carvalhal has stressed that, whilst his focus is on Premier League survival, he will still field a strong team against Notts County in their FA Cup fourth-round replay. The Magpies travel to the Liberty Stadium to take on the Swans tonight, who have enjoyed an upturn of form in the league in recent weeks. Swansea had just 13 points to their name from 20 games when the Portuguese was named as Paul Clement’s successor; they have taken 11 from six under his stewar

Grimsby Town boss Michael Jolley paid tribute to Notts County following their 2-1 win over the Magpies, describing them as one of the top sides in League Two and a team that just keeps on coming all the time. Nathan Clarke fired the Mariners in front in Saturday's game at Blundell Park only for Dan Jones to stab home late on to seemingly salvage a point.

Macaulay Langstaff's outstanding performance for Notts County this season has earned him a spot in the provisional England C squad for their upcoming match against Wales later this month. The game will be held at J.Davidson Stadium in Altrincham on Tuesday, March 21, just four days prior to the Magpies' game against Scunthorpe United at Meadow Lane in the National League.

Notts County striker Jon Stead has claimed that the hostility being directed towards manager Jamie Fullarton is the worst he has known in his career. Magpies fans aimed chants including “you don’t know what you’re doing” and “get out of our club” towards Fullarton as his side lost 2-0 to Bristol Rovers at Meadow Lane on Saturday. Stewards also had to intervene to prevent a banner being unfurled. Stead says it has been difficult to see F0ul
