Kevin Nolan has remained tight-lipped about how to line up his Notts County side to face Luton Town in Saturday's big League Two clash at Kenilworth Road. The Magpies sit second in the table, level with points with the Hatters, who boast an impressive goal difference to sit top. Much has been made of Luton's powerful attack and free-scoring, and Nolan insisted that his side is relishing the encounter, which will give the winner a psychological boost heading into the festive period.

Kevin Nolan has expressed his delight with Notts County re-signing Liam Noble but insists that it's "a different club" now to when he was last at Meadow Lane. The 26-year-old, who recently left Forest Green Rovers, put pen to paper on an 18-month deal at Notts and will be available for selection as of January 1. “I am delighted to sign him,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. “The circumstances of his departure from Forest Green are between him and them. “For me, he is somebody

Kevin Nolan has revealed that he engaged in a "frank discussion" with Jonathan Forte over the weekend in a bid to get a reaction out of him on the pitch. The 31-year-old forward was left out of the Notts County squad which lost 3-0 at Coventry City at the weekend, but may be given a spot in the team for the League Cup visit to his former club Scunthorpe United on Tuesday. Nolan did not elaborate on the content of the discussion between himself and Forte, but he suggested that there was

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has revealed that Jon Stead was in fact the subject of a bid from the United States, but was not willing to let his top scorer go. There were rumours going round in January that the striker was on the radar of an American club, but ultimately he stayed put at Meadow Lane. Stead scored his 11th goal of the season against Cheltenham Town on Saturday, which proved crucial as the final result was 2-1 and helped the Magpies create some distance between them and

Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County would be “in a much better place” had Mason Bennett’s loan move from Derby County not been thwarted by injury. The striker joined the Magpies on the last day of the January transfer window but was forced to return to Pride Park after rupturing his hamstring on his first start for the club against Barnet. “You only have to look at the impact Mason had when he came on against Crewe, got his goal and hit the bar,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post.

Kevin Nolan has given a positive update on Shaun Brisley after the defender suffered a blow to the head in Notts County's 1-0 win over Port Vale on Saturday. The centre-back was knocked to the ground after the blow late on in the game and had to be taken off. This left the Magpies to see the rest of the match out with 10 men after they had already made all three substitutions. However, Nolan is not worried about the long-term prognosis, telling the Nottingham Post: “He’s okay, he

Notts County manager Kevin Nolan has admitted that he wants a word with the EFL over the standard of refereeing in League Two. The Magpies boss claims the Magpies were denied clear penalties against Crewe Alexandra and Portsmouth, and feels Newport County's spot-kick on the final day of the season shouldn't have been given. "I am not really happy about it," he told the Nottingham Post. "If we keep moaning about it, will anything get done? It's something I am going to have to think

Kevin Nolan has earmarked the Mansfield Town derby as arguably the biggest League Two clash of 2017-18 for Notts County, but believes it will be an exciting season all round. The Magpies boss began his tenure at Meadow Lane with a goalless draw with the Stags which stopped a 10-game losing run in the league. This season, Notts will face Mansfield away in September, and will also take on National League champions Lincoln City in the same month. "Everybody is talking about the Mansf

Notts County have announced that manager Kevin Nolan has signed a new three-year contract with the club. The 35-year-old helped the Magpies avoid relegation last season following his appointment in January, turning around a side that had lost 10 games on the trot. This season, Nolan overcame a 3-0 defeat at Coventry City on the opening day of the season to steer Notts to second in League Two, boasting an eight-game unbeaten run. In addition, Notts have won their last four league g

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has claimed that he was sent to the stands for “waving his arms” during his side's League Two home goalless draw with Wycombe Wanderers. The Magpies manager was left fuming by Ben Toner’s decision not to award a penalty after Shola Ameobi was pulled down by Adam El-Abd in the Chairboys box. Having previously been given a talking to by the official, Nolan was then banished to the Derek Pavis stand where he watched the rest of the game in the directors’ box.

Kevin Nolan is not impressed with those who suggest Notts County is a "route one" team, describing the claims as "ridiculous" and "ludicrous". The Magpies have won their last two games, but there has been some concern from fans who see the team's style of play as mere hoofball. “Once we start stamping our authority then we will only get better,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post in response. “We will get better going forward and we will show what a good footballing side we are.

Notts County manager Kevin Nolan has stuck up for goalkeeper Ross Fitzsimons following his red card in the 2-1 defeat to Crawley Town on Tuesday. The 23-year-old was sent off in injury time for kicking out at Mark Connolly after claiming a corner, also giving away a penalty which Josh Payne converted. “What I’ve said to Ross stays with us,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. “Ross has been absolutely fantastic for me since he joined the club, but he knows he has done wrong. “I a

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has spoken highly of new loan arrival Matty Virtue and admitted that Ryan Yates's untimely departure is part and parcel of football. Yates was on loan at Meadow Lane until Wednesday, when he was recalled by Nottingham Forest and sent out to League One side Scunthorpe United, also penning a new City Ground deal. The Magpies have moved quickly to bring in a replacement in the shape of Liverpool Under-23 captain Virtue. "We've had some fantastic recommen

Kevin Nolan has provided a positive update on Michael O'Connor, saying the Notts County captain is "well on the road to recovery". The Northern Irish midfielder and club captain has been out of action since last April when he suffered a knee injury in the defeat to Portsmouth which required surgery to repair ligament damage.

The Magpies succumbed to an injury-time goal by Alex Nicholls as they left the Hive Stadium without a point to show for their efforts.

Kevin Nolan has given his Notts County players one simple message ahead of their FA Cup fourth-round meeting with Swansea City - "enjoy it". The Magpies have seen off Bristol Rovers, Oxford City and Brentford to reach round four, where they have been drawn with the Premier League strugglers.

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has reiterated the need to have momentum going into next season's League Two campaign and urges his out-of-contract players to "make me want to keep them". With the exception of Adam Collin, Mark Yeates, Carl Dickinson, Michael O'Connor and Matt Tootle, every other player on the Magpie payroll will see their current deals expire this summer. The club secured safety last Monday despite falling to a 3-1 defeat against Portsmouth, before the weekend brought a

Kevin Nolan has described Notts County's 2-0 defeat at Crewe Alexandra as a "hiccup" and has tipped his players to bounce back this weekend. The Magpies were simply not at the races at Gresty Road as goals from Michael Raynes and Jordan Bowery saw the Railwaymen claim all three points in Tuesday night's League Two encounter. "It's a lesson," Nolan told the official Notts site. "I am not one to shout and bawl. "I just try to encourage my players and give them the best advice I poss

Kevin Nolan has urged again for perspective at Notts County, reiterating the need to take each game as it comes and secure safety before reassessing the objectives for the season. The Magpies could make it eight games unbeaten in all competitions if they get a result away at Crawley Town on Saturday, with the Magpies sitting second in League Two. Despite talk among fans shifting towards promotion, Nolan insists that it's too early in the season to look ahead all the way to next May whe
