In football, success is often gauged by trophies won. Yet, the core of every successful team is a driving philosophy. For Notts County’s Dan Crowley and his teammates, it’s a no-excuse mentality. Despite a demanding schedule, this mindset, along with their commitment to hard work and preparation, fuels their on-pitch performances.
Dan Crowley, the dynamic midfielder, praised his team's no-excuse mentality and their hard work both on and off the pitch. Despite a gruelling fixture schedule, Crowley highlighted the team's impressive pressing from the start of games, attributing it to their mindset and preparation.
Crowley stated, "Yeah, and I think that's just our mindset, you know. It's kind of a no-excuse mentality we have in the team, you know. So, what we played on Tuesday, it is what it is. There's nothing we can do about it. It didn't feel like we did today, just because we worked so hard and pressing, and the energy was just so good from the start. Yeah, it's not an excuse."
He reflected on the notoriously tough pre-season under Luke and his staff, stating that it was "really hard" but ultimately worth it. The hard work didn't stop after pre-season, with Crowley revealing that the team does a lot of running and training during the week. This rigorous preparation gives them confidence in their fitness levels and mental strength, knowing they can outrun any opposition.
When asked about the pre-season training, Crowley responded, "100%, preseason was really hard. But like you say, it's paying off, and also the hard work doesn't just stop after preseason, you know. We work so hard in the week, we do a lot of running, we do a lot of work, and it just, when you know you've put that much work in, you kind of know that you're going to be fitter than the opposition. That just gives you so much energy, so much mental strength to know that we can outrun anyone."
Crowley also spoke about the team's focus on crossing and positioning in training. He explained that when he's in a position to cross, he knows his teammates will be in the right place due to their repetitive practice. This dedication to training is clearly paying off on the pitch.
"Yeah, first, I just want to give glory to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Yeah, it was...we work so much on crossing and the attackers getting into positions. We do so much of that. So when I'm in that position...they need to be in the right position. And it's just from repetition and repetition and repetition...it's not surprising that we get success from it," said Crowley.
The team's commitment to their no-excuse mentality extends beyond their physical preparation. They also maintain a strong focus on mental strength and resilience. This mindset has been instrumental in their recent successes on the pitch.
Crowley's comments provide valuable insight into the team's ethos and approach to their game. Their dedication to hard work both during the pre-season and throughout the season is commendable. Their no-excuse mentality has clearly been a key factor in their ability to maintain high energy levels during games despite a demanding fixture schedule.
The team's focus on specific aspects of their game such as crossing and positioning demonstrates their commitment to continuous improvement. Their repetitive practice has paid off with successful execution on the pitch.
Crowley's praise for his team's no-excuse mentality and hard work highlights the importance of these factors in their recent successes.

In the world of football, every goal counts, but some goals carry more weight than others. Such was the case with Kyle Cameron's recent equalising goal for Notts County in their match against MK Dons, which ended in a 1-1 draw. As the team continues to compete at the top of the table, Cameron's contributions have been instrumental in their journey this season.
When asked about the intensity leading up to the game, Cameron said, "For us, it's just a normal week. We want to showcase what we're about and what we can do. I thought in large spells, we've done that today. It's a game where maybe another time we could walk away with three points, but like you say, being at the top of the table, we'll take the point and move on."
Cameron's goal celebration was a sight to behold, even though he had no one to run to. "Yeah, they're a little bit high up, soon I couldn't run to anyone," he said. "I don't get that many goals, but they're important ones. Hopefully, I can have a couple more this season."
Reflecting on his goal against Dagenham a year ago, Cameron said, "It was about a 20-yard header just inside the box from a corner, so it wasn't far away. Hang on, that's the best one I scored in the EFL a year ago this week. It put us right up there with Wrexham and Chesterfield."
As for whether this season will be similar to previous ones where Notts County competed at the top of the table, Cameron believes it's possible but emphasised that there's still a long way to go with many games left to play.
"The intensity played a big part today," he said. "I feel like each week we're improving and getting better as a group. From the opening day to now, there's been a big change, and we're doing well."
With two matches in six days, it's going to be a busy week for Notts County. However, Cameron is confident in their preparation. "It's a hectic few days," he said. "But we'll get back, recover well, and focus on the upcoming matches."
And as for his equalising goal? "Yeah, I think so," he said when asked if he was looking forward to watching it later. "Mum and dad probably have it recorded anyway, so I'll have a little watch over it later on."
As Notts County continues their journey this season, one thing is clear: with players like Kyle Cameron leading the charge, they're sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats.

After the eagerly anticipated clash between MK Dons and Notts County loomed beyond the horizon, emotions ran high for one key figure in the football world. 
In his post-match interview, Notts County's Luke Williams, a man whose connections with the MK Dons made this fixture a deeply personal affair. Just moments before the kick-off, we witnessed a heartfelt exchange between Williams and his former boss, Mr. Winkelmann, setting the stage for what would be a remarkable encounter.
The match started off as a slow burner with only one shot on target in the first half. "When two teams like this, with respect for each other, it's like a heavyweight bout. No one wanted to throw too big a punch in case you leave yourself open," said Williams. However, a lapse in concentration allowed the opposition to take full advantage of a big chance.
Despite this setback, Notts County showed their resilience with goals from all over the pitch. The skipper, who doesn't score often, made an impact when he did. "He's a superb player and a captain's example for sure," praised Williams.
Macaulay Langstaff, known for his unselfish running, had a couple of chances but was unable to convert them into goals. However, Williams was quick to defend him saying, "Macca is human, and even he can miss... He was excellent as usual".
The presence of nearly 3,000 fans roaring them on was not lost on Williams. "Even when we arrive, it feels like we're turning up for a home game... We look fantastic even when we're in the stands," he said appreciatively.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, Williams acknowledged that it would be tough with two matches within six days. He expressed his eagerness to see some players on the pitch who are desperate to play.
As for his plans post-match? "We start to review the game because we have to make a presentation about this game. Then we have to make a presentation about the next opposition, and we have to plan the training," shared Williams.
This match was not just another fixture in the calendar but a deeply personal affair that brought out the best in everyone involved - from the players on the pitch to the fans in the stands. It's worth noting that football is not just about winning or losing; it's about passion, dedication, and teamwork. 
It's about moments that bring joy and moments that bring disappointment. But above all else, it's about love for the game. This match was an embodiment of all these elements. It had its highs and lows; moments of brilliance and moments of despair. But through it all, what stood out was the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie among players.
The fans too played their part in making this match memorable. Their cheers and applause added to the atmosphere and made every goal scored feel like a victory. This match was more than just a game; it was an experience that will be remembered by all those who were part of it - players, coaches, and fans alike.

Luke also talked about the importance of having a focal point like Macaulay Langstaff in the team. "Macaulay Langstaff is a fantastic player, and he brings so much energy and goal-scoring threat to the team. Having a dedicated striker like him is really important, and he's been a key player for us this season," he said.
In addition, Luke praised the adaptability of new signings, particularly Dan Crowley. "Dan has been fantastic since joining us. He's adapted really well to our style of play and has made a big impact on the team," he said.
Luke also shared his thoughts on the away section at Doncaster's stadium and the support of fans. "The away section at Doncaster is always packed with our fans and their support is incredible. It really makes a difference to have that backing when you're playing away from home," he said.
Finally, Luke discussed the signing of Lewis Macari, highlighting his competitive nature and adaptation to the team. "Lewis has been a great addition to the squad. He's got a real competitive edge and has adapted well to our style of play," he said.
Luke Williams, the head coach of Notts County, is confident in his team’s abilities and is looking forward to the upcoming game against MK Dons. He emphasised the importance of strong home performances, passionate fan support, and the adaptability of new signings.

Graham Alexander, the manager of MK Dons, recently shared his thoughts on the team's performance, player acquisitions, injuries, the importance of competition, and the mindset needed for success as his team takes on Notts County.
Alexander acknowledged that the first half of the season was challenging for the squad due to a heavy workload and a lack of numbers. 
However, he is optimistic about the reinforcements brought in just before the transfer window closed. "We believe that we've got the right players for the right positions and the right characters," he said. "Lads who have succeeded and had success before as in promotions and stuff. So, you know if we look at the window as a whole, I think it's been a really productive one for us."
The manager emphasised the importance of competition within the team. "I think every elite team thrives on competition, and we want to become an elite team at the level we're at," he said. Alexander also mentioned that there are currently a few injuries within the squad, including Matt Dennis who has been missing for three weeks and Mo Eisa and Jonathan Leko who have missed training this week.
Alexander's nomination for manager of the month is a testament to the results that the club is producing. "It's always a club effort for me," he said. He looks forward to every game of football and wants to be involved at the right end of the table.
The manager also stressed the importance of clear thinking and decision-making by players. "We don't want to run every decision that a player has to make. We want them to be able to think clearly and make decisions because decisions happen so quickly," he said.
Alexander believes that consistency is key to success. "The best teams are consistent with what they do. They believe in what they do and don't change from game to game," he said. He also acknowledged that perfection is unattainable and that it is important to focus on the next action.
The manager believes that there is always room for improvement. "I think every player can improve. I think the team can improve, and I can improve. That's what we have to strive to do every day," he said.
Looking ahead to the upcoming game against Notts County, Alexander acknowledged that it will be a tough test for his team. "It's early in the league, so we don't look into that right now. But like I said, you get it, similar to the Wrexham game, you have to look at what Notts County have done over the previous year, and you know they're a good team with a really good manager," he said.
Graham Alexander seems optimistic about his team's performance and is focused on continued improvement and success.

Macaulay Langstaff was a standout player in Notts County's 3-1 victory over Accrington Stanley at Meadow Lane this past Saturday, according to head coach Luke Williams. 
The Magpies went top as a result of this victory, and Williams had high praise for Langstaff's performance.
Williams praised Langstaff for scoring two brilliant goals in the game. "Tough players, but we have Macaulay Langstaff, and he scored two brilliant goals and then our first goal was always excellent as well and like that you can play a really close game and win because you have excellent players that can put the ball in the net," he said. Williams was impressed by Langstaff's ability to find the back of the net and help secure the victory for his team.
In addition to his skills on the field, the head coach admired Langstaff's impressive toughness. "Because he’s a warrior and as much as we love the goals of course, but he’s so tough and now the window’s shut, and we can talk about how good he is so that’s great," Williams said. He recognised Langstaff's determination and resilience, and praised him for being a key player in the team's success.
Williams also mentioned other players who were out due to injury but expressed confidence in his team’s ability to compete. "I think of course we want more players fit because we have Geraldo Bajrami and Cedwyn Scott out which is difficult, but we still have enough bodies in the building of the right quality and the right guys that we can still compete," he said. Despite some injuries, Williams was confident that his team had enough depth to continue performing at a high level.
In addition to Langstaff's individual performance, Williams also praised the overall effort of his team. "The players were able to be tough when they needed to be tough and that made me feel very, very happy," he said. He recognised the effort and determination his players showed on the field, and how they were able to rise to the challenge.
Overall, Williams was extremely pleased with Langstaff's performance in Notts County's victory over Accrington Stanley. He praised Langstaff for his goals, his toughness on the field, and his contribution to the team's success. The Magpies went top as a result of this victory, and Williams is looking forward to seeing what Langstaff and the rest of his team can achieve in future games.

Notts County head coach, Luke Williams, was pleased with his team’s performance in their 3-1 victory over Accrington Stanley at Meadow Lane this past Saturday. The Magpies went top as a result of this victory, and Williams had nothing but praise for his team.
Williams praised his team for creating “really good chances” and noted that Aiden Stone, the goalkeeper, got Man of the Match. “We scored three goals, but the goalkeeper gets the Man of the Match, so that tells you that it was tough, and they created really good chances, and he made brilliant saves,” Williams said. He was impressed by the way his team was able to create opportunities and capitalise on them.
The head coach also appreciated the toughness of his players. “That’s the thing that I loved about the performance because I’m exhausted, but the players were able to be tough when they needed to be tough and that made me feel very, very happy,” he said. Williams recognised the effort and determination his players showed on the field, and how they were able to rise to the challenge.
Williams also acknowledged that there were some challenges during the game. “I thought we started well but even from the early stages, I think we scored, I don’t know, it’s early seven minutes? But inside those seven minutes, I think they flashed the ball across the box a couple of times, and it wasn’t so comfortable,” he said. Despite these early difficulties, Williams was proud of how his team responded.
Despite these challenges, Williams was proud of his team’s ability to overcome them. “So when we scored we needed to really show that we can understand the opposition. We can have a reaction, and we need to show that we can match that and then maybe we can go in one-nil up and then the other chance the game is different in the second half if you do that, but we didn’t. We became more passive after the goal, and then we suffered for that and so that was the main message at half-time and of course, the players are brilliant, so they do everything that they should do,” he said.
Williams emphasised how important it was for his team to understand their opposition and react accordingly. He praised his players for being able to adapt and overcome challenges during the game. The head coach also highlighted how his team was able to bounce back after becoming more passive after their first goal.
In their victory over Accrington Stanley, Williams expressed extreme satisfaction with his team's performance. He commended their ability to create chances, their resilience on the field, and their capacity to overcome challenges during the game. 
This victory propelled the Magpies to the top of the table, and Williams eagerly anticipates what his team can achieve in future matches.
