Kevin Nolan has responded to calls for him to be relieved of his Notts County duties by saying he would be as “surprised as anybody” if he was to be axed. The Magpies have endured a torrid start to the 2018-19 season, picking up just one point from their first four League Two games and shipping 13 goals in their last four matches in all competitions. “When I took over this job, I think a lot of the fans shouting now were probably asking why I got the job,” Nolan told the Nottingham Pos

Kevin Nolan has admitted he would love to have Mason Bennett back at Notts County, but he has to wait on what new Derby County manager Frank Lampard has in plan for the forward. The Magpies have been continuously linked with re-signing the 21-year-old, whose loan spell at Meadow Lane in January was cut short because of a hamstring injury. “If Frank likes him and wants to keep him around the squad then we won’t have a chance,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. “I know he was really l

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan says he has not heard back yet from the FA or EFL about whether he will face a touchline ban for being sent to the stands against Wycombe Wanderers. The Magpies boss was dismissed by referee Ben Toner during the goalless draw on Good Friday at Meadow Lane after protesting a decision not to award Shola Ameobi a penalty in the first half. If one does come his way, however, Nolan says he will dispute it and is confident of having it overturned. “I haven’

Kevin Nolan and Jon Stead have both praised Notts County first-year scholar Dongda He for his performance against Basford United. The Chinese midfielder shone in the first half of the 3-1 victory against the Evo-Stik Premier Division side and scored the goal of the game with a terrific effort before half-time. “We’ve got a lot of good players in that position, but he is someone who we can’t quickly thrust into the limelight,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. “We’ve got to be patien

Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County's 2-2 draw with Accrington Stanley at the weekend feels more like a defeat, and that his players have got to cut out relinquishing healthy leads in games "right away". For the second week in a row, the Magpies went two goals ahead, only to see their opponents strike back to level the game, and unlike at Wycombe Wanderers, there was to be no late rally. “Ruthlessness comes from results. We’ve got this four game unbeaten run now,” Nolan told the

Kevin Nolan believes that Adam Collin has come in for too much criticism over his time at Notts County, admitting that he is "delighted" with the goalkeeper. The 32-year-old joined the Magpies after leaving Rotherham United and has been first choice at Meadow Lane virtually ever since, though whether he should remain as such has been open to a lot of discussion among fans. However, the Notts boss has praised his stopper, noting how he pulled off a save in injury time against Accrington

Kevin Nolan has revealed that Alan Smith left Notts County because he wanted a break from football. The former Leeds United and Manchester United man spent four years at Meadow Lane as a player, coach and even caretaker manager, before being released at the end of last season. Nolan also stated that Smith is looking to make a return to the game in several months and could hopefully assist on coaching and scouting duties. “We had Smudger who was a fantastic servant to this football

Kevin Nolan has revealed that Alan Smith remains a key player of his Notts County setup. The former England international played in the 2-1 win over Everton Under-21s in the Checkatrade Trophy on Tuesday, setting up Jonathan Forte for the opening goal. However, he was left out of the squad for the 2-0 win over Chesterfield, which prompted a talk between the two regarding Smith's future at Meadow Lane. “We had a bit of a heart to heart at the weekend because I left him out for the

Kevin Nolan has urged the authorities to look into making all match officials professional following the officiating performance in Notts County's 2-2 draw with Accrington Stanley. Both the Magpies manager and opposite number John Coleman were left confused by some of the decisions made by ref Carl Boyeson and his assistants in Friday night's League Two fixture at Meadow Lane. Referring to Sean McConville's kick on Dan Jones, which the fourth official missed, Nolan suggested that there

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has announced that Andy Kellett will make his full debut at Middlesbrough on Tuesday night. The Magpies get their EFL Cup campaign underway with a trip to Teesside where they will face the Championship side. “Andy will start on Tuesday, but Kristian [Dennis] will not,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. “We’ve got a duty to make sure all the squad are given a fair chance. “We will be rotating like we did last year because it worked very well and the

Kevin Nolan has praised Notts County summer signings Callum Saunders and Elliot Hodge, suggesting that they are both players who can get crowds excited. Both players, brought in at Meadow Lane with a view to development, played in the Magpies' 2-1 defeat to Mansfield Town in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday. “I thought they did really well and I was really pleased with both of them,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. “Callum led the line well and ran the channels which is what he is all ab

Kevin Nolan has praised Dan Jones for his impressive performances in the last two Notts County games, describing his game against Morecambe as on "another level". The summer signing was pilloried for his mistakes in the League Two opener at Coventry City, where the hosts put three unanswered goals past the Magpies. Since then, however, Notts have steadily improved and now sit third in the table, boasting a six-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Jones has also come along nicel

Kevin Nolan has spoken of how a discussion with his Notts County players about throwing bodies on the line following their 3-0 opening-day defeat to Coventry City helped improve their defensive play. The Magpies boss was happy with the clean sheet recorded on Saturday as his side secured a 1-0 win at Port Vale, with the likes of Richard Duffy and Dan Jones putting in great performances at the back. “We want clean sheets and at Coventry we didn’t see that desire to stop the opposition f

Kevin Nolan has stressed that each member of the Notts County squad will play a part in the latter stages of the League Two campaign. The wear and tear of the season has shown in recent weeks, with players absent through injury or illness, and tweaks having to be made to each matchday XI. In the goalless draw with Newport County, Terry Hawkridge and Dan Jones were left out of the squad, while Shola Ameobi was sidelined with a knock. Nolan says he has a tough job of selecting a squ

Notts County manager Kevin Nolan has claimed that English managers are often overlooked for top jobs in the Premier League. There are only five England-born bosses in permanent top-flight jobs, with none in charge of the so-called 'big six'. “There are lots of quality English managers, I feel they are overlooked,” Nolan told BBC Radio Nottingham. “It seems if you are an English manager you have to ply your trade into the Championship and get yourself into the Premier League.

Kevin Nolan has stressed to his Notts County players that every game from now until the end of the season is crucial if they are to survive the drop. The Magpies slipped to one point behind League Two's bottom two after losing 2-0 at Accrington Stanley. Nolan plans to debrief his charges by showing them the video of the game at the Wham Stadium before telling them to put it behind them and focus on Cheltenham Town. The manager told the Nottingham Post: "Every game from now until t

Kevin Nolan has given a positive update of pre-season at Notts County so far, with everyone reporting back in "fantastic shape". The Magpies gaffer also spoke of how everyone in the squad is on the same wavelength, which bodes well for a potentially fruitful season in League Two. Notts' pre-season began late last week and things will get up and running sharpish, with a fixture against a Rolls Royce Leisure Select XI the first of the friendlies. After that, it's full steam ahead wi

Kevin Nolan has admitted that Notts County’s FA Cup run ended up having an adverse effect on the team's league campaign last season. The Magpies made it all the way to the fourth round and held Swansea City to a draw at Meadow Lane in the first game, before losing 8-1 to the then Premier League side at the Liberty Stadium. County's form stuttered around that time and Nolan says he will address the issues of tiredness for the upcoming season. “I thought the FA Cup played a major fa

Kevin Nolan is looking forward to Notts County's FA Cup first-round encounter with Bristol Rovers and is eager for his players to show how far they've come as a team. The League Two leaders welcome the Pirates - who ply their trade in League One - to Meadow Lane on Friday night and the Magpies manager believes his side have a great chance of making it through to round two. "Bristol Rovers will give us an indicator of how far we have come in such a short space of time," Nolan told the o

Kevin Nolan has stressed that Notts County must not underestimate Forest Green Rovers as they have "absolutely nothing to lose" and will be eyeing the scalp of the League Two leaders. The Magpies remain top of the division on goal difference following their 3-1 derby defeat at Mansfield Town a week ago. On Saturday, Meadow Lane will host an encounter between Notts and FGR, who currently sit at the basement of the league. “It has been a difficult season so far for them,” Nolan told
-
Kevin Nolan has admitted that some of Notts County's fringe players may leave the club on loan this transfer window. Defender Haydn Hollis and midfielder Curtis Thompson have struggled to get game time and the manager says they are likely to depart Meadow Lane until the end of the season. “We’ve had a few enquiries for our players, but nothing is set in stone,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. “It’s about what is best for them and what is best for Notts County. “I have spoken with

Kevin Nolan has stressed that he did not expect Notts County's season to be all plain sailing but is confident the team will get out of the rut they're currently in. The Magpies spent a good chunk of the season in the automatic promotion places, even holding top spot for a number of weeks. However, County's form has tailed off in 2018, with four defeats, two draws and just three wins from the nine league games this calendar year. This has sent Notts - previously boasting a sizeabl
