Kevin Nolan has quickly switched attention to the League Two playoffs and says he is looking forward to them as he hopes to guide Notts County up to League One via Wembley. The Magpies were beaten 2-1 at Grimsby Town on Saturday, a result which, combined with Wycombe Wanderers' win at Chesterfield, has seen the Chairboys take the last automatic spot in the table. Luton Town are up next for Notts, who will seek to finish as high up in the playoff positions as possible, to determine who

Kevin Nolan has admitted that he is looking to get Notts County past the 50-point mark as quickly as possible. With just 10 games to go this season, the Magpies sit on 40 points, eight ahead of the bottom two in League Two. Nolan says he is taking it a game at a time, with a tricky visit to table-topping Doncaster Rovers awaiting on Tuesday night. But with Notts back on form, the manager is taking the opportunity to draw up more of a mid-term goal. "We have gone with the atti

Kevin Nolan has described the FA Cup third-round fixture at Brentford as "a fantastic tie" and has stressed that Notts County will be eager to cause an upset at Griffin Park. The Magpies navigated their way through two tricky ties to reach round three, where they will be up against the Bees, who ply their trade in the Championship. Nolan admitted that the draw may have been deemed somewhat underwhelming by a proportion of the Notts fanbase but he insists he is looking forward to the en

Kevin Nolan's managerial tenure at Notts County has today hit the one-year mark and the gaffer had plenty to reminisce about, but insists there is to be no resting on laurels. This time last year, the Magpies were seemingly destined for the Conference, and perhaps even extinction, until Alan Hardy took over the club and brought Nolan along with him. There was a lot of doubt over the appointment, given his relative inexperience - he had only had a short stint at Leyton Orient - and the

Kevin Nolan has suggested that he spoke to Alan Hardy about a potential return to Notts County in the past few weeks but "it never got to dotting the i's or crossing the t's". The former midfielder was sacked by the Magpies and replaced by Harry Kewell, who was himself let go after 14 games. Neal Ardley then came on board at Meadow Lane in November after he had parted ways with AFC Wimbledon by mutual consent. The Wombles have since hired Wally Downes, and Nolan says the job was n

Kevin Nolan should find out today if Shola Ameobi, Jonathan Forte and Rob Milsom will be available for Saturday's game with Swindon Town. The trio all missed the 4-1 win over Morecambe on Boxing Day with knocks but Nolan has been monitoring their fitness over the last two days. Notts will be hoping to build on the victory at the Globe Arena to further entrench their position in the top three of League Two. “I am hoping they are all going to be available,” he told the Nottingham Po

Kevin Nolan's sensational impact since taking over at Notts County has been rewarded with a nomination for the League Two Manager of the Month award for February. The Magpies manager claimed 11 points over the month as he led his side to a five-match unbeaten run, stopping their freefall towards relegation and putting them eight points clear of the bottom two prior to March's first fixture. This included an impressive 2-2 draw at home to Exeter City after coming from two goals down in

Kevin Nolan has claimed that he is not fussed over who Notts County will face in the League Two playoffs. The final matchday of the regular League Two season will be played out on Saturday, with the Magpies facing Luton Town at Meadow Lane. Notts will be seeking victory in order to finish as high as they can in the playoff places, and have already beaten Exeter City, Coventry City, Lincoln City this season. “It doesn’t matter who we get,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. “We’ve jus

Kevin Nolan has suggested that he will not make wholesale changes at Notts County at the end of the season. The Magpies are now all but safe in League Two following a revival spearheaded by Nolan and new owner Alan Hardy. Prior to the takeover, there had been a lot of criticism of the Notts players, but the vast majority of them now have new leases of life and have been performing admirably in recent weeks. This has not gone unnoticed by the Notts boss, who says that he will add m

Kevin Nolan has not ruled out making more additions to his Notts County squad before the transfer window closes this month, but insists he is not targeting a specific position. The Magpies made 13 signings over the summer, from those expected to be in first-team contention from the off to players earmarked as hot prospects for the future. Nolan is happy enough with his team, praising owner Alan Hardy for having given him support in the market, but remains open should any particularly g

Kevin Nolan has admitted that he doesn't "mind being proven wrong" as Jonathan Forte scored a brace to help Notts County run out 2-1 winners over Coventry City. The 31-year-old has struggled for minutes this term, but took his opportunity wonderfully on Saturday by grabbing two goals either side of a Sky Blues equalised. "Jonathan is a quiet lad and gets on with his business," Nolan told the Nottingham Post. "He has been left out of squads and has something to prove, whether it is

Kevin Nolan has reiterated the importance of making Meadow Lane a difficult place for opponents to come to when they play Notts County. The club's home dressing room has been the subject of much press coverage in recent months following Alan Hardy's investment in the facilities. The away dressing rooms have also gained some coverage, albeit more on the negative side, when Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman said his side had to change "in a corridor". Nolan spoke of how, as Leyto

Kevin Nolan has stressed that Notts County are doing their all to be ready for all outcomes in wake of the potential postponement of Saturday's League Two fixture at Cheltenham Town. The Magpies and the Robins are awaiting a pitch inspection at Whaddon Road on Friday morning that will determine whether the game will go on or not. Nolan said the show must go on in terms of preparation even if several players could not get into training on Thursday with such poor weather across the count

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has admitted that he did not want to continue working with Stanley Aborah at the club, due to "the way he carries himself". The Belgian, who signed for the Magpies in the summer of 2015, left Meadow Lane by mutual consent on transfer deadline day and is expected to rejoin Ricardo Moniz at Dutch club FC Eindhoven. Aborah's time at Notts following Moniz's departure has been punctuated by spells in and out of the team as numerous managers opted not to make hi

Kevin Nolan has revealed that he will be having a chat with Joey Barton in hope of persuading him to come to Notts County. Barton, who played alongside Nolan at Newcastle United, will be able to return to football in the summer once his 13-month ban for betting offences comes to an end. Although the 35-year-old is being tipped to join a Premier League or Championship team, the Magpies boss said he'd have a word with him and see what happens. “Joey and I are good friends and he’s a

Kevin Nolan has outlined the qualities possessed by Liam Noble which he feels will improve Notts County in the new year. The 26-year-old former Magpies player left Forest Green Rovers by mutual consent earlier this week, citing a need to be closer to his family in the North-East. On Thursday, Pride of Nottingham's publication of photos appearing to show Noble in training with Notts was swiftly followed by the club's confirmation of the player's acquisition. Nolan has admitted that

Notts County manager Kevin Nolan has vowed to keep using Alan Smith up front rather than in midfield. The former England international came to prominence as both a striker and as a right-winger during his time at first club Leeds United. However, he was converted to midfield while he was on the books at Manchester United, where he's largely remained in terms of position since leaving Old Trafford. Despite his positional reshuffle, former Newcastle United teammate Nolan used him up

Kevin Nolan has played down the importance of Wednesday's friendly between Notts County and city rivals Nottingham Forest, reiterating that it's all about players getting game time ahead of the new season. Fans of both teams are eagerly awaiting the clash at Meadow Lane as a chance to renew rivalries and see which side will claim the bragging rights come the final whistle. Nolan, however, is keeping an eye firmly on preparations for the 2017/18 campaign as a whole, and sees this game -

Kevin Nolan has played down suggestions that Notts County are to make a move for Dover Athletic striker Ricky Miller, claiming that he costs a lot of money and could invest his budget more wisely. The 28-year-old has scored 37 goals this season to top the National League goalscoring charts and was also named the division's player of the year. Notts were quoted with an interest in the player both in January and heading into the summer, but Nolan says he could get "a lot of good players"
-
Kevin Nolan has played down Shola Ameobi's hamstring injury, suggesting that he will not be out of action for too long. The veteran striker was forced off in Notts County's win over Morecambe last weekend and was unavailable for the midweek win over Swindon Town. Ameobi is not expected to play any part in the Magpies' trip to Crawley tomorrow, but Nolan insists his backroom team will take good care of him and should be able to establish a recovery timeline in the next few days. “W

Kevin Nolan has poured cold water on suggestions that Notts County can be considered title challengers in League Two next season. Sky Bet has put the Magpies joint-fourth to win the championship outright, while promotion is at a mere 3/1. This is following the resurrection of the club following Alan Hardy's takeover and Nolan's shrewd management, culminating in a 16th-placed finish just weeks after being on the brink of relegation. However, Nolan insists that there is a lot of wor

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has hailed his side's 3-2 win at Leyton Orient as the end of their away hoodoo and something to build on. The Magpies took a two-goal lead through Jorge Grant and Jon Stead but were pegged back before Stead struck a late winner at Brisbane Road. It helped Notts climb further away from the League Two relegation zone and also marked a first away win since October. Nolan told the official site: "I'm pleased to end the hoodoo of not putting in performance
