Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has praised his players for putting in a much improved performance against Carlisle United on Tuesday night. Last week the Magpies were hammered 8-1 at Swansea City in the FA Cup and were then beaten 1-0 at League Two bottom side Barnet. However, Notts returned to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Keith Curle's side at Meadow Lane, thanks to Jon Stead's brace, and Nolan is pleased to have seen the players "back to their usual selves". "That was the per

Coventry City full-back Chris Stokes has described Notts County as "basically" a "long ball" team and is hoping to see his side put another three goals past them. The two sides will lock horns for the first leg of their League Two playoff semi-final at the Ricoh Arena this Saturday before the return leg takes place at Meadow Lane six days later. Notts fell to a 3-0 defeat in the opening game of the season but won 2-1 when the Sky Blues came to Nottingham. “When they came here last

Caretaker manager Steve Chettle has admitted that Notts County's players were "gutted" after being pegged back late on against Morecambe. The Magpies took the lead early in the second half when a cross from the right was nodded beyond Mark Halstead's reach by Kristian Dennis on 52 minutes. However, a late scramble in the box culminated in Kevin Ellison turning the ball home after a goalmouth scramble following a corner and a final result of 1-1. “The lads are gutted and I told the

Luke Williams, the Notts County manager, has clarified the rationale behind the tactical alteration that saw Jodi Jones and Adam Chicksen swap positions during their victory over Woking. In what was a challenging first half for the Magpies, the Notts coach felt that a change in tactics was necessary to break down the compact and determined Cardinals defence. After the interval, the home side was able to turn on the style, with two goals from Sam Austin and a second goal of the season from s

Alan Hardy has spoken in favour of the EFL Trophy, believing in its goal of nurturing young English talent, but insists that it needs the support of every team in the Premier League.

A number of League One and Two clubs have fined for picking weakened teams, while Bradford City changed their goalkeep

Alan Hardy has revealed that he was more excited about Kevin Nolan winning September's League Two Manager of the Month award than the man himself was.

As well as praising Nolan's humility and selflessness, Hardy also gave an insight into some of the gaffer's managing techniques. Hardy wrote in the Nottingham Post: "I think I was

"They had a five to 10 minut

Bola has already spoken of how he is improvi

Former Notts County manager Mark Cooper has claimed that the chairman at the time of his managerial tenure at Meadow Lane "made it difficult" for him. The 48-year-old had been hired by Notts in March 2016 to try and arrest an alarming slide down the League Two table. Cooper, who famously operated under an undisclosed points target while at Meadow Lane, managed to secure safety for the Magpies in the end. However, he departed the club as the final whistle blew on their final game o

Alan Hardy has described restoring pride to Notts County's fans as the most satisfying achievement of his tenure at the club. When Hardy took over at Meadow Lane in January 2017, the Magpies were looking odds-on to drop out of the Football League and potentially out of existence. In the 16 months that have followed, not only did Notts survive relegation, but have gone on to finish fifth in the current season, giving them a chance at the playoffs. "I’m often asked what’s been the m

Notts County owner Alan Hardy has admitted that Brentford away was not an FA Cup third-round draw that he had hoped for. The Magpies beat League One side Bristol Rovers and non-league Oxford City in the opening two rounds of the competition to go in the hat for the hallowed third round. However, the hope of getting a bumper tie against a Premier League giant was shattered with the pairing of Notts and the Championship high-flyers in Monday night's draw. There is nonetheless a beli
