Match Previews

If we take into account that the Milton Keynes Dons began their history in 2004, then Notts County have faced the club just 12 times. The first fixture took place in 2006, which was won by the Dons 3-2. Its predecessor, Wimbledon, was around for over 110 years, but nonetheless, Notts have only played six games against them.   A depressing statistic: out of 18 games between the Magpies and both Dons incarnations, we’ve only won once

Bristol City, Swindon Town and even perhaps Preston North End fans will be hoping Notts can 'surprise' MK Dons today, as Notts prepare to host them at Meadow Lane. This is a very tough game for us Magpies, MK Dons are in fine form and may put on a performance to suppress that of what we seen by Swindon. Notts will have to be tactically prepared, whilst the defence and midfield will be key to over coming any danger.   Key Fixtures&#

Jeff Hughes returns to Meadow Lane tomorrow evening no more than two months since he departed to the League Two outfit. Having scored on Saturday, the wide man looks to have settled in and there’s a sense that he could well be on the score sheet again tomorrow. Without dipping into the various opinions that have tried to interpret the form of Friday night’s performance against Sheffield United, it is hard to know what Kiwomya will do with the Notts side. It is most likely that the squad w

Notts have faced Bradford 65 times in their history - the first clash came in 1908, when the First Division fixture at Meadow Lane finished 1-1. Over the years, the Magpies have the edge, with 28 wins over the Bantams, 22 defeats, and 15 draws. The last game between the two was on New Year's Day this year, a resounding 3-0 win for Notts. Bradford City was founded in 1903. It was immediately elected into Division Two of the Football League despite not havin

Notts have met Bury 118 times in their history. Notts: 43 Draw: 28 Bury: 47 Bury won the reverse fixture 4-0 at Gigg Lane in a match they dominated from start to finish. It was a result that stopped Notts’ five game unbeaten run. It was this result that started the fall back down the table and eventually led to the sacking of Harry Kewell. Stats Notts have won 1 of their last 12 league games (a sequence which started with the 4-0 loss at Bury earlier in the season).

Notts County and Newport County have met a total of 44 times over the years, the first fixture coming in 1930, which the Magpies won 3-2, and the last previous game taking place in 1987, a 5-2 win for Notts. The head-to-head record is skewed in the Magpies’ favour, with 23 wins, 9 draws and 12 defeats. Notts’s record league win is against Newport – an 11-1 victory! We have also beaten them 5-0, 6-2, 7-0, 6-0 and 8-1 over the years. A simil

Notts County’s head-to-head history with Crewe Alexandra dates back to September 1893, when the Magpies faced the Railwaymen at the Alexandra Recreation Ground. The result was a 2-0 win for Notts. After several further meetings in the late 1890s, the fixture would experience a hiatus of 63 years; between 1896 and 1959, the two teams didn't play each other. Despite our shared history going back so far, there have only been 42 meetings between the two sides. Notts have the upper hand wit

Notts County and Stevenage FC have only ever met eight times, the first meeting coming on 17 September 2011 at Broadhall Way (known as the Lamex Stadium) - the result on that day was 2-0 to the Magpies. Our head-to-head record is pretty simple: four wins for Notts, four wins for Stevenage, no draws. Our last two games have both resulted in wins, the last meeting taking place earlier this season. Stevenage in their current form have only been in existence since 1976, but there have been

Notts County and Luton Town have faced off 68 times in their history. The first meeting came in January 1912 when the Magpies secured a 4-2 away win in the FA Cup. Luton dominate the head-to-head with 34 wins over Notts, 19 draws and 15 defeats. Out of the 10  matches between the two that have taken place since the turn of the century, Notts have won four, drawn three and lost three. Luton Town Football Club was formed on 11 April 1885, the product of a merger of the two lead

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

Notts County have played Chesterfield a total of 66 times over the years, the first meeting coming on the 29th November 1930 in the FA Cup. The game took place at the Spireites' old ground, Saltergate, and finished 2-1 to the Magpies. The head-to-head record favours Notts, with 27 victories, 20 defeats and 19 draws. The last time the two teams met was on 7 February 2015 in League One, the outcome a 1-0 win to Chesterfield at Meadow Lane. Nobody knows the date when the first i

Notts County and Barnet have met 17 times over the years. The head to head stands at 9 wins for Notts, 5 for Barnet, and 3 draws. The first meeting took place only 20 years ago, the Magpies winning 2-1 at Underhill in Division 3. The last fixture took place in March this year, Notts winning 1-0 at Meadow Lane.  The club was founded in Chipping Barnet, then part of Hertfordshire, in 1888. Several incarnations of the club existed before the third Barnet FC, created after t

Notts County and Bristol City have faced each other a gargantuan 106 times over their history. This is because both clubs have been regularly playing each other since the 1900s. Tomorrow will however be just the fourth league encounter between the two in just over ten years. City only just hold the upper edge, having won 43 games to Notts's 39, while 24 matches have been drawn. The city of Bristol is the largest metro area in Engla

Notts have met Cambridge 30 times in their history. Notts: 11 Draw: 8 Cambridge: 11 Notts’ 3-2 defeat in the second game of the 2018/19 season means that they have lost 6 of their last 8 games against Cambridge. Stats Notts have only one win in their last 15 games, drawing six and losing eight. Cambridge have not won away since October, but new manager Colin Calderwood has boosted their chances of avoiding relegation with two recent home wins against Crawley an

All is to play for today as Bristol City, Swindon Town, Preston North End and MK Dons stride to continue their progress towards their title challenges. Whereas Notts will be trying to secure points which would allow them to remain within the top half of the division. A draw would be a brilliant result. Sheffield United v Preston North End is the stand out game within League One, two top teams coming head to head with a lot on stake.  

As the League Two season gathers momentum, all eyes will be on the County Ground this weekend as Swindon Town host Notts County in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. With both teams aiming to establish themselves early in the campaign, this match is set to deliver excitement and plenty of talking points. Swindon Town enter this fixture in desperate need of a win. After a rocky start to their season, they find themselves 21st in the league, having secured just two points from their o

Head to head Notts County and Stevenage have only ever met 12 times in competitive fixtures. The first meeting was on 17 September 2011 at Broadhall Way (known as the Lamex Stadium) - the result on that day was 2-0 to the Magpies.

Stevenage, meanwhile, have won one of their last six

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

This Saturday Notts will make the relatively short trip to the Black Country to take on Walsall at the Banks's Stadium. The Magpies have started the season badly, losing both league games against Sheffield United and Peterborough, while the Saddlers have a 100% record so far in competitive football this season, winning both their league games and their Capital One cup tie. Furthermore, Walsall haven't yet lost a competitive game at home this calendar year - their last loss was on Tuesday

Notts County and Portsmouth have met a total of 29 times over the years, the first meeting coming on the 20th November 1926, which the Magpies lost 3-2 at Meadow Lane.

Notts have met Yeovil 18 times in their history. Notts: 6 Draw: 4 Yeovil: 8 Notts have only ever won once at Huish Park and that was in March 2005 (that was the first time Notts had played Yeovil at Huish Park).

Notts County and Wycombe Wanderers have faced each other a total of 30 times over the years, with the first meeting coming as late as 1995, when the Magpies won 2-0 at Meadow Lane.
