Plymouth Argyle has been rumoured to have offered an 18-month deal to Alan Smith back in late December, however, the Notts midfielder looks set to turn down the move and remain amongst the ranks at Meadow Lane. News emerged via Twitter after an image picturing Smith posing for a photo with a young football fan. Later on the same day, another photograph depicting Smith meeting up with Argyle manager Derek Adams was shared amongst social media.

Notts County midfielder Alan Smith has praised Jamie Fullarton’s structural approach to the game and team setup, comparing him to Shaun Derry’s brand of management. The Magpies made it two wins out of three since the ex-Nottingham Forest youth coach took charge as they claimed a 2-0 victory at Luton Town. Smith said: "I think since the gaffer's come in we've worked on a structure, trying to emphasise the fact that you are free to go and pl

Notts County caretaker boss Alan Smith has slammed individual errors for costing his side dear against Morecambe on Saturday. The Magpies fell to their 10th consecutive defeat in League Two as the Shrimpers claimed an easy 4-1 victory at the Globe Arena. As has often been the case, Notts conceded early, and by the half-time point they were three goals down. The player-coach did find some solace in the impending arrival of new owner Alan Hardy, who comes in at the start of next wee

Alan Smith has stressed that Notts County must go back to basics to restore their belief and confidence, but believes that the players are good enough to get results. The former Leeds United and Manchester United forward has been given the responsibility of managing the struggling Magpies on an interim basis following John Sheridan's dismissal. "What we have tried to emphasise is that it's about getting that belief and confidence back into the players," Smith told the Nottingham Post.

Alan Smith has admitted that he is looking forward to proving a point at Notts County and cannot wait to put last season behind him, individually and as a team. The Magpies finished the 2015-16 campaign, littered with managerial changes, off-the-pitch issues and poor displays, in 17th place. Ahead of next season, John Sheridan has been installed as manager and Smith has been given a backroom position. The former Manchester United man said: "Everyone was in the same boat – disappoi

Notts County midfielder Alan Smith has bemoaned his side’s performance in their 4-1 defeat against Exeter City, saying the squad let now-departed manager Jamie Fullarton down. The Magpies were level with the Grecians at half time, but soon collapsed in the second half at Meadow Lane as the Devon side left the East Midlands with all three points. Speaking before Fullarton’s sacking was confirmed, Smith said: "The manager puts us out there t

Notts County striker Alassana Jatta has made a significant impact since his arrival from Danish club Viborg in January 2024. The 25-year-old Gambian forward, who has netted 10 goals and provided two assists in 13 appearances, recently spoke candidly about his experiences at Meadow Lane and his aspirations for both club and country. Reflecting on his recent match, Jatta noted: “It’s actually a really, really nice and interesting game but quite tough in the second half. It’s quite a mixe

The move, which has sparked excitement among the club's fanbase, is seen as a significant step towards fortifying the team for the upcoming season. In an interview, Bass expressed his enthusiasm for joining the club, saying, "I'm really excited to be here. It's something that I really look forward to. The pull of the club and everything that's going on was

Ahead of a crucial fixture for Notts County this weekend, goalkeeper Alex Bass has opened up about his journey to Meadow Lane, his ambitions for the season, and his experience so far with the Magpies.  The 26-year-old joined the club this summer, having impressed during a loan spell at AFC Wimbledon, and has already won over fans with his confident performances. Reflecting on the start of the season, Bass expressed his satisfaction with how quickly the new players have gelled and how t

The 26-year-old arrives for an undisclosed fee after a stellar loan season with AFC Wimbledon in 2023-24. According to Richard Montague, a board member and head of recruitment, Bass was not only the standout goalkeeper in League Two last season but also ranks highly among League One goalkeepers. Montague expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re absolutely delighted to

Notts County Ladies have completed the sale of England defender Alex Greenwood to Liverpool Ladies 'for a significant' fee. Alex has been a pinnacle player for the Lady Pies since arriving at the club in 2015, helping the side respectfully finish two successful campaigns and also most recently helping Notts reach Wembley in the F.A Cup. The 22-year-old featured also featured in the Continental Tyres Cup Final last season.

Notts County winger Alex Rodman has claimed that, while the derby defeat to Mansfield Town was disappointing, fans should look at the bigger picture in League Two. The Magpies lost 3-1 to their local rivals at Field Mill on Saturday, but a win over Morecambe on Tuesday night will put them joint fourth in the table. "Derbies are one-off games and they mean a lot to both sides, but I don't think it's going to have an impact on us overall in terms of the season," Rodman told reporters.

After weeks and weeks of anxiety and agony, the news that every Notts County fan has been waiting for has finally arrived. The takeover of the club is complete. The former owner has relinquished control of the club to Alexander and Christoffer Reedtz, the Danish brothers who together own statistical footballing website Football Radar. "It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce today that we are the new owners of Notts County Football Club," part of the official club s

Adam Campbell was dropped after the game against Exeter City in October and believes that this motivated him to prove a point to Ricardo Moniz. Since returning to the Notts 1st team, he has scored in the game against Cambridge United last Saturday and provided 2 assists in the game prior to that against Barnet. Adam says "My job is to score goals and create them and I wasn't doing that, so he had every right to make that decision" adding "I wasn't going to argue a

As I began my journey to watch the opening fixture, I couldn’t help but feel excited. On the back of publishing a video, one in which I am very proud of. I found myself brimming with optimism towards the potential achievements Notts could make within the season ahead. Upon starting my trip to Stevenage, I wondered what the formation would be and of course which defenders would be selected to play. More importantly, I wondered what the curr

The FA are set to appoint former Notts boss Sam Allardyce as the new England manager today. He will be given a two-year contract. Allardyce made a name for himself as a bruising centre half in the 70s and 80s, turning out for a host of clubs including Bolton and Preston. But the news will be of particular interest to Notts fans due to his spell in charge of the Magpies; Allardyce joined the club in early 1997 with the team in dire straits at the bottom of what is now League One. He was unab

Notts County loanee Andrew Boyce has criticised his side’s performance in Saturday's 1-0 League Two defeat at Yeovil Town, admitting that only goalkeeper Scott Loach could emerge with any credit. The towering centre-back made his debut at Huish Park, having arrived from Scunthorpe United on loan, but was unable to prevent the Magpies slipping to defeat as former striker Francois Zoko struck in the second half to give his side all three points. &#

Notts County midfielder Andy Kellett has praised the fact that nobody can "come off the gas" at Meadow Lane due to competition for places in the squad. The summer signing from Wigan Athletic missed the season-opening stalemate with Colchester United due to injury. Although Kellett is hoping to be fit for Saturday’s trip to Cambridge United, he is not expecting to be simply drafted into the starting XI. “The competition for places is very good because there are players in a number

Andy Morrell is of the opinion that Notts County has helped Wrexham produce their best performance this season, which could lead them to break a club record for most points in a single season. Morrell was in charge of Wrexham when they narrowly missed out on winning the National League title in the 2011-12 season to Fleetwood Town, despite achieving their highest-ever points tally of 98. However, with 91 points already secured from 37 matches, Phil Parkinson's side is on track to surpass that re

Notts County lost their fourth League Two match on the trot on Saturday as Lincoln City ran out 3-1 winners in Saturday's match at Sincil Bank. Imps captain Lee Frecklington fired the hosts in front with a neat volley, but the Magpies levelled through Andy Kellett's low free kick, However, Bruno Andrade restored City's lead and then teed up Harry Anderson for the third goal early in the second half. The result saw County's winless start to the season increase to five league games,

Another matchday, another disappointing result as Notts County let a one-goal lead slip en route to a 1-1 draw with Carlisle United. In Steve Chettle's last game in interim charge, the Magpies were once again poor, but held out in the first half to remain level with the travelling Cumbrians. Notts went on to take the lead just after the hour mark, however, as Noor Husin's effort was cleared off the line before Elliott Hewitt reacted to stab home. But is it much of a surprise that
