Notts County defender Matt Tootle has admitted that his recent performances for the club have not been up to scratch. The Magpies suffered two consecutive defeats, against Mansfield Town and Morecambe, to slip down the League Two table. Meanwhile, the 1-1 draw against Crewe Alexandra came about because of lacklustre after scoring their first goal, conceding within 60 seconds. "I feel as if I need to get a bit of a run going myself," Tootle told reporters. "I started the seaso

Notts County defender Matt Tootle has expressed his dismay at conceding a minute after scoring against Crewe Alexandra, admitting his side were not switched on after kickoff. Jonathan Forte opened the scoring for the Magpies in the 80th minute of Saturday's League Two clash at Meadow Lane, only for Alex Kiwomya - nephew of former Notts boss Chris - to equalise moments after the restart. Tootle told reporters: "You can be susceptible after you've scored a goal and you are more likely to

Matt Tootle has praised Notts County's fans for spurring the players on in their FA Cup victory over Bristol Rovers at Meadow Lane. The visitors led 2-0 after the first 15 minutes thanks to goals from Liam Sercombe and Stuart Sinclair to seemingly set up a long, torrid evening for the Black and White Army. However, the Magpies rallied round as a quickfire brace from Ryan Yates edged them level by the break, setting up a second half in which the hosts had their opponents under siege.

Matt Tootle has praised the Notts County fanbase and believes he has a special bond with the supporters. The full-back is one of the team's most liked players due to his impressive performances - complete with the odd goal - and his eccentric, likeable nature, which includes the 'slug' goal celebration. Tootle says he is relishing the relationship with the fans and hopes he can reward their backing by helping Notts to promotion. “I think that they think I am one of them,” he told

Notts County defender Matt Tootle has opened up on his battles with anxiety and depression, saying nobody is immune from mental health struggles and urging people to seek help. The 26-year-old revealed how he had enjoyed a superb season at Crewe Alexandra going into the summer of 2014, but "something then just triggered" in his mind while he was on holiday in the off-season. Speaking during Mental Awareness Week, Tootle told Leigh Curtis of the Nottingham Post: "I was on top of the wor

Matt Tootle has expressed his pride with Notts County's impressive home form this year and believes Meadow Lane can truly be deemed a fortress. The Magpies could end the year with just one defeat at home in the league, depending on how they get on with Shaun Derry's Cambridge United this Saturday. County's home record is the best outside the Premier League, testament to the improvements made by Kevin Nolan and Alan Hardy. “When I signed in 2016 I came in and said this place should

Notts County ace Matt Tootle has taken to Twitter to update fans on how he is following a comment he heard from a fan at Meadow Lane wondering whether he is okay.

Several years ago, Tootle spoke publicly about having battled mental health issues in the past, but in response to the fan who asked about his

Matt Tootle has claimed that Notts County are more than capable of challenging for promotion from League Two next season. The former Crewe Alexandra man had suggested last summer that the Magpies could have been up in the playoffs, but the season ended up being a slog for safety in the end. Tootle told the Nottingham Post: "When I signed here last summer I probably looked a bit of an idiot to some people because I said we would get promoted. "We were third at the start of the seas

Matt Tootle has praised Kevin Nolan for the support shown to him since the manager's arrival at Notts County in January. The left-back has been speaking out about his problems with mental health and how they threatened to derail his career at one point.

Over the last few week

Notts County defender Matt Tootle has admitted the illness he had in January knocked a lot out of him but feels he is slowly building his form back up.

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

New Notts County signing Matt Tootle has claimed that the Magpies will have a successful season in 2016-17, and that factor was crucial in his choice of club.

It is a massive club - as soon as I heard Notts County were interested. "I wanted to come to a club I felt would be successful next y

Matt Tootle has stressed that Notts County must stop the "silly little mistakes" which have led to three defeats in the last four games. The Magpies were beaten 2-1 by Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday night as goals from Jake Jervis and Nauris Bulvitis came either side of Jon Stead's strike. Tootle believes that Notts could feel positive about their performance in the League Two clash, but added that they are conceding soft goals and undoing all their good work. He told reporters: "We c

The Magpies will be welcoming to Meadow Lane a Pompey side which could seal promotion out of the fourth tier, where they have been languishing since 2013 following catastrophic financial hardship which is now behind them. Notts are also smiling after their own off-the-
