Notts County boss John Sheridan admits he's cancelled his players' Christmas party, adding that they agree with his reasoning. The Magpies sit 19th in the League Two table after a poor run of four consecutive league defeats, and Sheridan thinks the players are not in a position to be celebrating. "Listen, you've got to take your mind off football, I'm all for that, but I don't think we're in any position to," he told the Nottingham Post. "I think we've got to work a lot, lot harde

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.

"I don

John Sheridan wants an improved showing from Notts County as they welcome Peterborough United to Meadow Lane in Sunday's FA Cup second-round clash.

"Forest Green have been fantastic at home since the turn of the year and can beat anyone on their day," Nolan told the official Notts site of the opposition,

Kevin Nolan has urged Notts County to maintain the level achieved against Morecambe when they head to Swindon Town on Saturday.

With Swindon manager David Flitcroft accusing his charges of capitulation, Nolan is aware they will be a wounded animal ready to fight back. “They are going to be looking for a reaction,” the
