Kevin Nolan has admitted that Friday's 4-0 loss to Yeovil Town was the poorest performance he has seen Notts County put in at Meadow Lane. The Magpies are yet to win a competitive game this season and go into Tuesday's game at Newport County seeking to banish Friday's heavy defeat. "We think it's easily fixable, but it's alright saying that - we've got to go out and prove it," Nolan told the Nottingham Post. "We've all got to do it. Everybody has to take ownership of what happened

Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County might have suffered from a "bit of anxiety" over the last two games, but suggests that a complete performance is on the cards sooner rather than later. The Magpies frittered a two-goal lead against Accrington Stanley on Friday for a 2-2 draw, a week after they did the same at Wycombe Wanderers, though they then rallied round for a 4-2 win. Nolan believes that the positive end to the 2016/17 League Two season may have played a part in this anxie

Kevin Nolan has acknowledged that Notts County "were below our normal levels" in the 1-0 loss at Swindon Town but believes there wasn't much between both sides.

Former Notts County Ladies forward Kirsty Linnett and her partner, Burnley and New Zealand striker Chris Wood, have spoken of the struggles faced when the Lady Pies folded last year. In April 2017, the controversial decision to liquidate Notts Ladies was taken by club owner Alan Hardy, who had purchased the club just months earlier.

New Notts County striker Kristian Dennis has expressed his desire to be at the right end of the League Two table this season after back-to-back relegations with Chesterfield.

The importance of networking and making club connections, especially within the local community has never been as beneficial for lower league teams as it is under the new financial fair play rules. Teams within League One and Two have far more to gain by opening their doors to the local teams which play around them. This of course means clubs will have to put aside rivalry for the betterment of their own development if they struggle to bring in that additional quality.
