Notts County manager Mark Cooper has bemoaned his side’s injury crisis ahead of their League Two clash at home to Stevenage, but has called on the side’s fringe players to step up. Curtis Thompson is struggling with an ankle injury picked up at Northampton Town, while Rob Milsom is struggling with a problem in his left knee and Graham Burke is also out of action. Cooper said: "We are struggling injury wise. But it gives somebody else an opportunity. "I've never been one to moan ab

New Notts County manager Mark Cooper has called on his players to "put things straight" beginning in their League Two clash at Portsmouth. The Magpies haven't won in seven games and currently sit 19th in the fourth tier, prompting bookies to make Pompey clear favourites to win the game at Fratton Park on Friday. Cooper used this as a rallying call, telling the press: "I really am looking forward to it and I hope the players can deliver a g

Ahead of Notts County’s clash against Northampton Town, manager Mark Cooper has expressed his desire for the Magpies to be in the same position as the Cobblers in a year’s time. The League Two leaders were going through a turbulent time at the start of the season, with players and staff unpaid for two months by the time they visited Meadow Lane. Chris Wilder, the Northampton manager, publicly pleaded for David Cardoza to sell the football club to Kelvin Thomas, and a few days later, th

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has cancelled his players’ day off as he criticised them for having “caved in” at Mansfield Town. The Magpies, who normally get Sunday off, suffered their biggest ever defeat at the hands of their local rivals as they went down 5-0 in Saturday’s League Two derby. Cooper said: "They caved in and some questions have been answered for me. "I have a list of players who I think 'yes, they need to stay, and they need to go' but it keeps changing. "T

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has criticised his players following their 3-1 defeat at Barnet and 5-0 thrashing at Mansfield Town, saying they "caved in" and that he is considering starting youth team players in their place.

Cooper said: "I was really frustrated that we were really comfortable for half a ga

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has pledged to put together a group of players that will put up a good fight in the remaining League Two games of the season. The Magpies secured safety last week following a 1-0 win over Hartlepool, but since then they have fallen to a 5-0 thrashing at Mansfield and a disappointing 3-1 defeat at Barnet. County's players received criticism from Bees boss Martin Allen, who said they had let a lot of people down. Cooper added: "Martin has the right t

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has admitted he took it easy on the players the day before the Newport County game by not having a training session and getting them bacon sandwiches on the way to the ground. The Magpies beat the Exiles 1-0 at Rodney Parade on Saturday, Genaro Snijders's goal stopping the rot after three League Two defeats on the trot. "We didn't train on Friday," Cooper told reporters in his post-match interview. "We got the players a bacon sandwich, got them on

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has praised "everybody" for conjuring up a four-game unbeaten run that saw the Magpies secure Football League safety. Jon Stead’s goal was the difference between Notts and Hartlepool United on Tuesday, while Liam Noble struck to ensure victory over Stevenage at the weekend. Prior to that, Cooper’s charges drew 2-2 at Northampton Town and claimed a goalless draw over Wycombe Wanderers. The former Swindon boss said: "The credit has to go to everybody

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has claimed his side must have "cool heads" and "big hearts" if they are to stop rivals Mansfield Town from celebrating a league double over them. The Magpies have played the Stags twice this season, losing to them in a League Two clash right at the start of the season but then clinching a 3-1 win in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. Cooper said: "You want to see the players cope with the occasion and that they don't become flustered by it. We have to compe

New Notts County manager Mark Cooper has launched into a scathing assessment of his side following their 4-0 defeat at Portsmouth, saying their defending wouldn’t have been seen in park football. Though the Magpies played admirably in the first half at Fratton Park and were unlucky to concede just before the break, they were run ragged in the second half as Kyle Bennett, Christian Burgess and Marc McNulty weighed in with simple finishes. The former Swindon boss said: "A lot of people t

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has ordered Liam Noble "not to come back" to Meadow Lane for the time being after his red card against Cambridge United. The midfielder lashed out against Darnell Furlong in last weekend's fixture at County's ground, which finished 2-1 to the visitors. It was his third dismissal of the campaign and sixth in two seasons, earning him a five-game suspension and ruling him out for the rest of the season, plus the first three matches of 2016-17. Cooper

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has launched a scathing criticism of his side following their 4-0 defeat at Portsmouth, saying they concede "ridiculously bad goals" and that their footballing careers are at stake. The four-goal thrashing at Fratton Park on Friday was preceded by a 4-1 defeat against Exeter City at Meadow Lane, leaving the Magpies in the lower reaches of League Two. "I said to the players after the game on Saturday that it doesn't matter what formation, or what players

Former Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper is reportedly set to become the favourite to replace Jamie Fullarton as Notts County manager. The 47-year-old is said to have narrowly missed out on the job in January when the board opted to hire Fullarton, who in turn was sacked after the 4-1 home defeat to Exeter City on Saturday. Cooper, who guided the Robins to the League One play-off final last season, has also been linked with a job at Stevena

Mark Cooper has admitted that he has not yet achieved the points tally needed to secure a permanent contract at Notts County, and is unsure whether he will meet it. The ex-Swindon manager, hired as a replacement for Jamie Fullarton, has accrued eight points from eight games, ensuring the Magpies will remain in League Two next season. "The points tally is still achievable, but if you were to look at the last three games and the defeats, it's looking a bit far-fetched," Cooper said.

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has pledged to try and keep Liam Noble at the club if he is appointed on a permanent basis this summer. The midfielder scored his 10th goal of the season in the 1-0 win over Stevenage on Saturday to give the ex-Swindon Town boss his first win at the Magpies helm. Noble, however, is out of contract in the summer and is said to be attracting interest from Cambridge United and Portsmouth. Cooper, whose side secured their Football League status with a

Mark Cooper has claimed that Forest Green Rovers deserved to get something out of their game against Notts County despite a "terrible" first half. The Magpies ran out 2-1 winners over the Green Devils at the New Lawn on Saturday, taking the lead through Liam Noble after the visitors pounced on a defensive mistake. Although Tahvon Campbell grabbed an equaliser for the hosts, Matt Tootle had the final say when he slugged the ball through a crowd of bodies and into the back of the net.

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

Forest Green Rovers manager Mark Cooper has denied that he feels let down by Liam Noble's return to Notts County. The 26-year-old departed the newly promoted League Two club earlier this week, citing a desire to move nearer his family in the North East. As it turned out, Noble was then pictured training with the Magpies and, on Thursday afternoon, Notts announced that their former player was now on their books again. The summer saw a tug of war between Notts and FGR over Noble, wi
