The Magpies remain top of the division on goal difference following their 3-1 derby defeat at Mansfield Town a week ago.

The 23-year-old loanee registered his 14th goal of the campaign on Saturday as he helped the Magpies into the third round of the FA Cup. In the second-round meeting with Oxford City, Grant was perfectly placed in the box to smash home a rebounded shot in the 94th minute for a 3-2 win. “We speak to Jorge about it, it just comes to him in the box. It’s not him be

Ian Marsden bleeds black and white. His passion for Notts County, a tradition passed down from father to son, has woven itself into the fabric of his life. "It's simple really," says Ian, a hint of nostalgia in his voice, "my dad was a Notts fan, and so am I." Life throws curveballs, however. Ian's wife Wendy, a pillar of support who once cheerfully chauffeured him across the country to cheer on the Magpies, can no longer drive due to a brain tumour. "Football doesn't seem as important any
