Jon Stead has suggested that Notts County are "not a million miles away" from being the finished product, and would welcome new signings in the dressing room. The Magpies have brought in 11 players on a permanent basis and two loanees this summer, while every squad member offered a new contract went on to put pen to paper. On the pitch, Notts have enjoyed a decent start to the 2017/18 League Two season, claiming two wins and a draw from their first four fixtures. The last game, ho

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 has bemoaned Notts County's inability to see out their game with Accrington Stanley, insisting the players "did the wrong things at the wrong times". For the second successive game, the Magpies took a two-goal lead, only to relinquish it, and there was to be no late rally as the match finished 2-2. Jon Stead's successful spot kick and Jorge Grant's strike were cancelled out through Mark Hughes's goal midway through the second half and loanee Mallik Wilks's injury-time strik

Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman has suggested that Notts County may be too big for League Two ahead of the fixture between the two clubs tonight. The Magpies and their next opponents have both started the season with a tally of two wins and a defeat, and either side would go top of the fledgling table for a day at least with a win. “It has all the makings for a really expansive game,” Coleman told the official Stanley website. “Two attacking sides who will both expect to be up

Kevin Nolan has told his Notts County players to expect a tough game against Accrington Stanley at Meadow Lane tonight. The Magpies overcame a poor start in League Two this season to find themselves in a position where they can top the fledging league table with victory in this gameweek's first fixture. County's recent record against the Lancastrians, however, is far from impressive, with four defeats and two draws in the last six encounters. "I love football under the lights," No

Notts County shirt sponsor Jake Bugg will play an intimate acoustic set at Meadow Lane next month in aid of Amnesty International. A new global concert series, called Give a Home, will take place on 20 September 2017 and will bring established and emerging artists together with refugees and local communities at over 300 shows in more than 60 countries around the world. One such show - in conjunction with Sofar Sounds - will see the Nottingham-born-and-bred singer-songwriter, whose styl

Matt Tootle has described the atmosphere in the Notts County dressing room as the best he has ever experienced - but before Kevin Nolan came in, he says it was the worst. The Magpies began the year within touching distance of League Two's relegation places and on a losing run which would stretch to 10 games. However, since Alan Hardy came in as owner and Nolan followed, Notts rallied round, secured Football League safety, and could now go top of the fledging 2017/18 table with victory

Kevin Nolan has acknowledged that some Notts County players may not be happy at missing out on the starting XI, but the important thing is their readiness to step in at a moment's notice. With a spate of signings being made in the close season, there is a lot of competition for places at Meadow Lane, with even the likes of Jorge Grant not having made the starting line-up in some games so far. However, Nolan stresses that each player will get game time this season, and to channel any om

Kevin Nolan has stressed that he will not set his Notts County side to be a passing team for the hell of it, without the will to win and getting the basics right. With three wins on the spin in all competitions, the next test for the Magpies sees them host Accrington Stanley on Friday night. Nolan has already hit out at those who claim the team is a "hoofball" outfit, and insists that his philosophy is simply about getting the job done instead of showing off a high possession statistic

Kevin Nolan has hailed the "real togetherness" in the Notts County dressing room, saying all the players are now wearing the club badge with pride. The Magpies had a slow start to the 2017/18 season, falling to a heavy 3-0 defeat at Coventry City in the League Two opener. However, an improved display against Scunthorpe United was followed up by wins against Chesterfield and Everton Under-21s at Meadow Lane. Against Wycombe Wanderers, meanwhile, Notts suffered adversity in losing a

Jonathan Forte believes he can get his scoring tally into double figures again this season if he is given game time for Notts County. The 31-year-old struck for the Magpies at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday, helping his team edge back into the lead and eventually setting up the groundwork for a 4-2 win at Adams Park. Forte also scored against Everton's Under-21s in the Checkatrade Trophy and is now being urged by fans to start in County's game against Accrington Stanley this Friday.

Kevin Nolan expects the Premier League vote to shut the summer transfer window before the start of a season to be unanimously in favour. The idea will be discussed at a shareholders' meeting next month and, with many top-flight clubs having either sold players or are still in the middle of transfer sagas, it is believed that most would prefer it to shut early. As present, the summer window shuts on 31 August, with clubs able to buy or sell from within England and overseas. Nolan t

Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has described Notts County as a "big, strong and organised" team, but suggested that his side should have defended better and was caught out by a sucker punch in their 4-2 defeat on Saturday. Richard Duffy, Jonathan Forte and Lewis Alessandra, plus an Adam El Abd own goal, netted for the Magpies at Adams Park, with the Chairboys fightback through goals from Nick Freeman and Joe Jacobson ultimately to no avail. Ainsworth told Bucks Free Press:

Notts County forward Jonathan Forte admits he is not happy with a role as an impact substitute, and that he wants to be starting for the Magpies. The 31-year-old came off the bench at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday, just after Notts had relinquished a two-goal lead, and headed his side back in front. Forte also played a big part in the fourth, setting up the groundwork for Lewis Alessandra to strike as Notts came away from Adams Park with a 4-2 win. The former three-time Notts loan

Kevin Nolan has expressed his relief with Notts County clawing out a 4-2 win at Wycombe Wanderers after being pegged back from a two-goal lead. A Richard Duffy header and an Adam El Abd own goal saw the Magpies head into the Adams Park dressing rooms at the break in an advantageous position. However, the Chairboys hit back through Nick Freeman and Joe Jacobson, only for Jonathan Forte and Lewis Alessandra to restore County's two-goal lead late on. “Relief is a big word because Gar

Kevin Nolan is not impressed with those who suggest Notts County is a "route one" team, describing the claims as "ridiculous" and "ludicrous". The Magpies have won their last two games, but there has been some concern from fans who see the team's style of play as mere hoofball. “Once we start stamping our authority then we will only get better,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post in response. “We will get better going forward and we will show what a good footballing side we are.

Kevin Nolan claims Notts County are yet to hit their full potential this season, but is pleased that the last two games have been won despite this. Following a poor 3-0 loss to Coventry City in the League Two season opener, the Magpies put in a solid performance in the League Cup against Scunthorpe United, only losing on penalties. They then followed it up with victories over Chesterfield and Everton Under-21s, and Nolan believes there is more to come from his charges. “I feel in

Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has urged caution to his players ahead of a "big test" against Notts County on Saturday. The Magpies travel to Adams Park this weekend for a League Two encounter which will see Kevin Nolan's side try and earn a third win on the bounce in all competitions. "Notts County have got some real quality in their squad, and with Stead and Ameobi up front they bring with them Premier League experience which will be a big test," Ainsworth told the offici

Ryan Yates has revealed that his decision to join Notts County on loan was mainly influenced by Kevin Nolan being manager at the club. The 19-year-old, who is on the books at Nottingham Forest, joined the Magpies for a season-long spell at the start of the season. Despite being tracked by a number of teams interested in his services, Yates decided to go for a loan move over the Trent. “First and foremost my decision to come here was because of Kevin Nolan being the manager,” he to

Kevin Nolan has stressed that Notts County cannot just focus on Adebayo Akinfenwa in Saturday's League Two trip to Wycombe Wanderers. The veteran striker is one of the biggest names in lower-league football due to his physique and is a difficult proposition for any opposition back line. He scored at Meadow Lane last season as the Chairboys won 2-0, though he failed to get off the mark in the reverse fixture, but Nolan insists Wycombe have other dangerous players in their front line.
