Kevin Nolan has stressed that Yeovil Town must not be taken lightly when Notts County face them this evening despite their lowly position in the table. The Glovers currently sit in 17th place, having lost their last two games, and five of their last 10 fixtures. However, Nolan cast an eye back to February, when Notts and Yeovil played out a goalless draw, and also pointed to their wins over the likes of Accrington Stanley, Coventry City and Exeter City. "A lot of people will think

Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County have exceeded expectations so far this season and is eager for the players to just continue as they're doing and enjoying the ride. The Magpies continue to sit top of League Two after more than a third of the way into the season, with 37 points - two more than second-placed Luton Town - from their first 18 games. “When I first walked in in January, we wanted a very good season this year and we wanted to sustain what we produced at the end of la

Jorge Grant has spoken of how a stressful week ended on a positive note thanks to football. The Notts County midfielder, who has recently got on the housing ladder, had to deal with flooding in his home due to plumbing issues. However, you wouldn't have known due to his impressive performance on the pitch, scoring twice to help Notts beat Cheltenham Town 3-1 and keep the Magpies top of League Two. “The drain is fixed which is good news, but there are a lot more problems than I exp

Jorge Grant has paid tribute to Notts County strikers Jon Stead and Shola Ameobi following their 3-1 win over Cheltenham Town on Saturday. The midfielder took his tally for the season to 13 with his fourth brace of the season, with Shaun Brisley adding a third to keep the Magpies top of League Two. "Shola and Steady were unbelievable today," Grant told the official Notts site. "The ball stuck to them and they allowed the midfielders to come up and work off them. "The set from Stea

Kevin Nolan has declared himself "absolutely delighted" with Notts County's 3-1 win over Cheltenham Town on Saturday. A Jorge Grant brace either side of a Carl Winchester daisy-cutter and a Shaun Brisley header saw the Magpies run out comfortable winners. Other results also went County's way and resulted in them sitting two points clear at the top of the League Two table come 5pm. "I'm absolutely delighted with the three points and I thought they were well-deserved," Nolan told th

Alan Hardy has expressed his hopes of having Kevin Nolan at Notts County for the long term as part of the team's journey out of the fourth tier and into the upper echelons of the Football League. His comments come in the wake of Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer claiming that Nolan would not remain at Meadow Lane for long should the Magpies be promoted from League Two. In addition, a Press Association Sport study found that, when it comes to managerial changes over the past 20 years

Ross Fitzsimons has expressed his gratitude towards Kevin Nolan and the rest of the Notts County setup for giving him a chance to play first-team football. The 23-year-old signed on a free transfer in the summer having left Chelmsford City and, prior to his current run of games, had seldom been given an extended run in a club's first team. However, the goalkeeper has become first-choice since Adam Collin picked up a knee injury against Barnet last month, playing in all but two of Notts

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 urged Notts County to keep calm and not deviate from the norm when it comes to preparing against Cheltenham Town. The Magpies face the Robins - who sit 16th in League Two - on Saturday afternoon at Meadow Lane, and Nolan admits his charges will have to "earn what we get". "The way Gary's teams play, he won't be giving us anything for free," Nolan told the official Notts site. "We will have to earn what we get. "We have to respect the fact teams are going to raise t

Ryan Yates has stressed that his main role for Notts County is as midfield enforcer, although he wouldn't mind to reach double figures in terms of goals. The on-loan Nottingham Forest teenager has scored five times so far, making him second-top scorer behind Jorge Grant on 11. Yates recently hit four goals in five games, including two in the 4-2 victory over Bristol Rovers in the first round of the FA Cup at Meadow Lane. Despite his purple patch, he remains committed to his role i

Elliott Hewitt admits he is disappointed in himself after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season in Notts County's 1-1 draw at Stevenage. The Welshman was booked in the first half after remonstrating with the referee following a foul on Terry Hawkridge in midfield which preceded a Harry Beautyman effort on the Magpies goal. The caution means Hewitt will miss the next game, against Cheltenham Town at Meadow Lane. “I was gutted to get a fifth yellow and it was a bit stupid fro

Notts County have announced that Colin Slater has been named an honorary vice president of the club. The 83-year-old worked on his first Notts game in 1959 as a local newspaper journalist, making his BBC Radio Nottingham bow in 1968. Slater's radio commentating career spanned 49 years and saw him become a club institution and, although he stepped back from those duties earlier this year, he continues to be the station's Magpies correspondent. "It's difficult to express how honoure

Kevin Nolan is hoping that Shola Ameobi will not be out for too long but insists Notts County can continue to cope in case he remains absent beyond this weekend. The veteran striker sat out the 1-1 draw at Stevenage last weekend, failing to make the squad with what is believed to be a groin injury. Nolan suggested that the injury is minor as he was hoping to have Ameobi back for this Saturday's encounter with Cheltenham Town but will not rush him back to action. “He’s done really

Richard Thomas has claimed that his family have played a big part in his development as a coach. The Notts County assistant manager has been a crucial element of Kevin Nolan's side's progress from League Two relegation strugglers to promotion hopefuls. When asked about who has inspired him, Thomas told the Nottingham Post: “It’s not about one person or one big name manager for me, anybody and anyone can give me something that I can take into practice. “My brother and sister-in-law

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has suggested that Jon Stead could go on to play until the age of 40 and beyond. The veteran striker impressed for the Magpies in the 1-1 draw against Stevenage at the weekend, massively influencing the team when going forward. "I think there's a lot of things said about Jon Stead because he is 34 but he doesn't train like he's 34," Nolan is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying. "He trains every day. He trains with the 19 and 20 year olds and he's never

Kevin Nolan has hailed Notts County's mental strength in coming from behind to claim a 1-1 draw at Stevenage on Saturday. The Magpies fell to a 3-0 defeat at Broadhall Way back in March but were a tougher proposition this time round, Elliott Hewitt cancelling out Danny Newton's opener. "Back in March we capitulated here after going 1-0 down and we didn't look like getting back into the game,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. "But now we have a mentality whereby we want to work our

Elliott Hewitt has acknowledged that Notts County's performance in the first half against Stevenage was not good enough but believes the Magpies deserved more from the game at full time. The Magpies fell behind to Danny Newton's strike in an unimpressive first half at Broadhall Way but Hewitt drew the visitors level and they could have easily took all three points following a marked improvement. As it was, the final result was 1-1 and the Welshman insists that, although Notts would hav

Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County did enough to come away with all three points in their League Two encounter with Stevenage on Saturday. The Magpies fell behind at Broadhall Way through Danny Newton's 38th-minute strike, but levelled through Elliott Hewitt in the second half. Stevenage then found themselves repelling numerous attacks from the visitors and were lucky to hold out until the final whistle for a 1-1 final score. "We could have won it and I don't think people w
