This Saturday, Notts County return to Meadow Lane for a top-of-the-table clash against Gillingham FC. Both sides are in fine form, with the Magpies leading the way in League Two, closely followed by the Gills, setting the stage for an exciting contest. Notts County have made Meadow Lane a fortress this season, boasting four consecutive wins and remaining unbeaten in six league matches. Stuart Maynard’s side have shown attacking prowess, notably in their recent 4-1 victory over Gri

Notts County have come away from Burslem with a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Port Vale at Vale Park. The Magpies conceded the opening goal in pretty standard fashion, Ben Whitfield floating a cross into the box which Luke Hannant looped into the top corner of the net beyond Ross Fitzsimons, the Vale man allowed plenty of time to head home on 13 minutes. However, Harry Kewell's side not only weathered the subsequent surge from the invigorated Valiants but managed to draw level

Notts County wrapped up a truly miserable seven days with a third defeat on the trot, this time spurning a one-goal half-time lead against Swindon Town to eventually lose 2-1 at Meadow Lane. Last week, Bury thoroughly hammered the Magpies. On Tuesday, an undeserved red card for Jamie Turley led to MK Dons making the most of things and emerging victorious. But this time, Notts played impressively and had all the stats on their side, yet went on to lose anyway. The home side had wer

League Two is starting to take shape, with teams eager to maintain a level of consistency. Right now, anyone can beat anyone and Tuesday night should make for an interesting encounter throughout the games scheduled to take place. The prize for Notts County is not just the ability to take home 3 points but to assure the County faithful that their opening game was just a small blip. This game is likely to be decided by whoever scores first, and I feel that Morecambe will have to be tidy

Notts County travel to the Sixfields Stadium to take on Northampton Town this afternoon. The Magpies recent form over the last five games is (LLLLD) which sees them sit bottom of the League Two table, but a win today could see them move out of the relegation zone. Notts must make the most of this game as they only have 2 points from 8 games played, whilst Macclesfield Town and Morecambe - who play each other today - have 2 and 3 points respectfully. Northampton are currently 20th,

Notts County will be looking to continue their solid form when they host Tranmere Rovers at Meadow Lane on Saturday 26th August (3pm) in their fifth Sky Bet League Two game of the season.  The Magpies endured a baptism of fire upon their return to League Two, suffering a humbling 5-1 defeat at the hands of Sutton United on the opening weekend. However, Luke Williams' side have responded by embarking on a three-match unbeaten run, most recently beating Doncaster Rovers 3-1 on the road.

Notts County will be heading to Mazuma Stadium for their midweek trip to face Morecambe on Tuesday evening.  The Magpies are coming off a confidence-boosting performance and result against Grimsby Town, where they collected their first points back in the English Football League with a win in their first league home game of the campaign.  On the other hand, Morecambe suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Mansfield Town at the One Call Stadium. Notts County find themselves back in t

Notts County will travel to the Eco-Power Stadium to play against Doncaster Rovers.  The Magpies will be looking to build on their recent win and draw, which included a win and a clean sheet, whereas the Rovers will be wanting to get their first win of the season and climb the table to build some momentum for their season. Notts go into the game with four points from a possible nine, after losing 5-1 to Sutton on the opening day, beating Grimsby 3-2 in their second match, and, most rec

Notts County will face Stevenage FC on Saturday for the first time this season at Meadow Lane. Notts County’s recent form over 5 games (LLLLL) sees them at the bottom of the table with just 1 point from the opening day against Colchester. Meanwhile, Stevenage sit in a comfortable 11th with their recent form being (WDLLW). With inconsistent results, Stevenage will be looking to capitalize and be taking all three points at Meadow Lane from a run down Notts County side. So far Stevenage h

Notts County will host Tranmere Rovers at Meadow Lane for their fifth Sky Bet League Two game of the season. The Magpies will be looking to continue their solid form, having bounced back from a 5-1 defeat to Sutton United on the opening weekend with a three-match unbeaten run.  Their most recent victory was a 3-1 win over Doncaster Rovers, with last season’s top scorer Macaulay Langstaff netting two goals. Tranmere, on the other hand, have had a modest start to the season, losing three

Brace yourselves for yet another showdown tomorrow at the historic Priestfield Stadium. This game is set to be a riveting duel between two teams renowned for their possession football, including your cherished team, Notts County, as they face off against Gillingham. Gillingham, under the guidance of interim manager Keith Millen, are looking to bounce back from their recent defeat.

Pride of Nottingham brings you our Preview, Notts Reignite Season with Feisty Encounter! I remember not too many moons ago when Notts were at London Road facing the Posh in what could be described as one of the feistiest and tensest matches in recent history. A 2-3 all thriller was matched off the field with a good old-style brawl with ex-Notts manager Craig Short getting stuck in. It’s hard to imagine a brawl off the field this time around with the cool composed maturity Chris Kiwomya oo

Tuesday evening will see Notts County travel to Accrington Stanley in a bid to progress to the second round of the FA Cup. Failure to beat John Coleman's charges at Meadow Lane on Sunday 9 November means that the Magpies have a replay on their hands, the original game finishing goalless. For Stanley, loanees John O'Sullivan and Sean Maguire will not be eligible to play in the FA Cup first-round replay. Blackburn Rovers midfielder O

Notts County and Barnet have met each other just 14 times over the years. The first fixture came on 1 November 1997, with the Magpies earning a 2-1 away win in Division 3. Notts have 8 wins against the Bees, with 3 defeats and 3 draws. The last fixture was the league reverse n 24 November 2015, with the Magpies winning 4-2 at Meadow Lane. Luke Gambin could be in line for a return to the Barnet starting XI after coming on as a substitute in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Wycombe and contri

Doncaster Rovers could include new signing Abdul Razak in their squad against Notts County, pending international clearance. The former Manchester City man has completed his move from Greek club OFI Crete, signing a deal at the Keepmoat until the end of the season. Doncaster have no new problems following the 1-0 home victory over South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley. Midfielder Dean Furman is still away with South Africa at the African Cup of

Head to head Notts County and Coventry have met just 40 times over the years. The first encounter took place on the 6th November 1920, the match at Meadow Lane ending in a 1-1 draw. The last one was just over a month ago, on April 7, and in the League Two encounter at Meadow Lane, the Magpies ran out 2-1 winners. However, the reverse fixture, on the opening day of the 2017-18 season, saw Coventry beat Notts 3-0 at the Ricoh Arena. There have plenty of high-scoring games

Notts County manager Mark Cooper is expected to have an unchanged squad for the visit of Hartlepool United in Tuesday's League Two clash at Meadow Lane. It was thought that Curtis Thompson might return to contention after missing the home win against Stevenage at the weekend through injury, but Cooper said at his pre-match press conference on Monday that the midfielder will remain sidelined. Long term absentees Blair Adams and Will Hayhurst both remain out and are unlikely to play agai

Peterborough United manager Grant McCann is expected to name an unchanged side as the League One club hosts Notts County for a place in the FA Cup third round. Striker Lee Angol completes his three-game ban for his red card in the original tie, when Louis Laing completed the Magpies' comeback in injury time. Forward Marcus Maddison, who has not featured since that game, remains sidelined with an ankle injury while on-loan midfielder George Moncur is ineligible. Posh have won five

Notts County travel to the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday night for an FA Cup fourth-round replay against Swansea City with a fifth-round trip to Sheffield Wednesday up for grabs. How will the Magpies fare against the Swans? Can Kevin Nolan's charges build on their 1-1 draw at Meadow Lane or will Swansea's Premier League quality show? Here is Pride of Nottingham's pre-match preview. What happened in the first game Notts began brightly against the top-flight strugglers but their o

Notts County can make it three wins on the spin, and claim their first three-point haul of the season, should they be victorious at Moss Rose on Saturday when Harry Kewell's boys face struggling new boys Macclesfield Town. Pride of Nottingham's Chris has analysed the opposition and written up this in-depth scouting report with views on how best not to get stuck in a web against the Silkmen.
