Match Reports

Notts County were a goal up at half time in their League Two clash against Barnet, but almost predictably, things did not go their way and their fans were once again left disappointed as the Bees put three past them to claim a 3-1 win at The Hive. The Magpies got off to a bright start when Izale McLeod was felled in the box to win his side a penalty six minutes in, and Jon Stead was the man to step up, sidefooting the ball past the goalkeeper and into the net to give the travelling Notts fa

Notts County have booked a date with Peterborough United in the second round of the FA Cup after overcoming Boreham Wood in Tuesday night's first-round replay at Meadow Lane. The Magpies had to fight back from two goals down to seal a 2-2 draw in the original tie, but goals from Jonathan Forte and Aaron Collins were enough to secure a 2-0 win over the plucky non-league side. On a mild mid-November evening in Nottingham, the 1,762 attendees - most rooting for the home side - saw Notts b

Notts County have fallen to a second defeat in a row as Luton Town came from behind to triumph 2-1 at Kenilworth Road on Saturday. The Magpies took the lead after just six minutes when poor Hatters defending allowed the ball to land in the path of Elliott Hewitt, whose half-volley from the edge of the area flew into the bottom corner of the net. However, the hosts were level just ten minutes later as Danny Hylton sent a ferocious 25-yard drive crashing into the bar and the ball fell to

Just when you think things couldn't get worse for Notts County, they do. Yes, an away trip to a team that won their first six games on the bounce and boasting a goal difference of +12 was always going to be a tough ask, but to lose 5-1 marks a new low. Leyton Orient was the team which administered such punishment to the Magpies on a cold Tuesday evening in September, as if things couldn't get any frostier over at the club. Chris Kiwomya decided to completely reshuffle his team and formati

One step forward, two steps back. Notts County’s exhilarating win against Newport last week and a decent away point at Wycombe in midweek were quickly forgotten as the Magpies were picked apart by Carlisle United at stand-in ground Deepdale, home of Preston North End, in a 3-0 defeat. The disappointment began early for the black and white faithful as, just five minutes in, Jason Kennedy was upended by Graham Burke in the box to gift the designated hosts a penalty,

Notts County finally, after seven games and six weeks of hurt, managed to secure the first win of the season with a convincing win against Tranmere Rovers. The first goal came within the first five minutes of the game, as Joss Labadie's header drew first blood. After an exciting game of football in which Jack Grealish showed off his stellar talent and Labadie pulled the strings in midfield Andrea Pirlo-style, the victory was all but secured with substitute Marcus Haber's tap-in. In all fa

Notts County found themselves under the cosh on many occasions and suffered at the hands of some contentious refereeing, but still managed to secure a decent point away at Doncaster Rovers this afternoon. The hosts began with plenty of drive, but goalkeeper Roy Carroll largely remained untroubled with Haydn Hollis pulling off some smart tackles in the early stages. Notts then nearly opened the scoring when Alan Smith smashed a 25-yard driv

Notts County produced a thrilling comeback at Hayes Lane to secure a 4-2 victory over Bromley, overcoming a shaky start that saw them 2-0 down within the first six minutes.  In a match that showcased their resilience and attacking prowess, the Magpies found their way back into the game thanks to key performances from returning players Jodi Jones, Dan Crowley, and Alassana Jatta. The match started disastrously for Notts County, with Bromley’s Michael Cheek opening the scoring in the 4th

Notts County have fought back from three goals down to claim a 3-3 draw with Cambridge United in Saturday's League Two clash at Meadow Lane. The visitors, managed by former Magpies manager Shaun Derry, had gone into the game without an away goal in 700 minutes of football. However, following a first half in which both sides traded chances - and both managers traded words on the touchline - the U's took the lead five minutes before the break. Ade Azeez linked well with his strike p

Unlucky. Hard done by. Sucker punched. Just a couple of words to describe our game today against Carlisle. Having dominated the majority of the first half and taken the lead through Callum McGregor, the home side then equalised through a soft free kick by Matt Robson. The second half saw Carlisle take the lead through David Amoo, before shutting up shop - their keeper, Mark Gillespie, was incredible, and unfortunately those factors made all the difference. Chris Kiwomya picked an unchange

Notts County made the most of a bumper crowd on Saturday to record an emphatic, crushing win against Crewe, scoring four past them and keeping a clean sheet in the process. Callum McGregor was undoubtedly the star of the game, scoring two superb goals in the first half, before playing a hand in Danny Haynes' goal for Notts' third. Marcus Haber then wrapped up the comprehensive victory with a fine looping header. Chris Kiwomya, having been suitable impressed by the victory against Tranmere

Notts County's season continues to peter out into nothingness after Shaun Derry's Cambridge United came to Meadow Lane on Saturday and left with all three points in a 2-1 win. The hosts took the lead in the League Two clash after just four minutes when Luke Berry charged down a clearance from Scott Loach which flew into the far corner of the net. Harrison Dunk then struck the base of the post with a fierce shot moments after the restart, with Zeli Ismail following up and forcing a fine

Notts County have fallen to a second humiliating league defeat in quick succession after Newport County, League Two's bottom club, left Meadow Lane with a 3-0 win. The Exiles took the lead in the 34th minute when Rhys Healey was fouled inside the Magpies area by Richard Duffy, prompting the referee to award a penalty. Although Sean Rigg's shot was saved by goalkeeper Adam Collin, he latched onto the rebound and fired home from close range. Six minutes later John Sheridan's former

Notts County have triumphed in a topsy-turvy, nervy and ultimately thrilling game against Wycombe Wanderers, claiming a 4-2 win at Adams Park. The Magpies threatened early on through Shaun Brisley, whose far post header was cleared off the line by Michael Harriman. Notts then took the lead after just 14 minutes, a pinpoint Dan Jones free kick falling perfectly to Richard Duffy, who made no mistake with a thumping header into the back of the Chairboys net. Kevin Nolan's charges pro

After what felt like an eternity of international football, Notts were back in action at the County Ground against Swindon Town, but sadly, despite Bartosz Bialkowski's heroics, they were unable to withstand the barrage from the home side, losing 2-0 after two first half goals from former Newcastle prospect Nile Ranger and Danny N'Guessan. An injury to on-loan Villa prodigy Jack Grealish meant Adam Coombes was slotted in his place, Chris Kiwomya keeping the 4-3-3 side which had been so su

Notts County were undone by goals from Marcus Maddison and Christian Burgess as Peterborough United came away from the League One clash at Meadow Lane with a 2-1 win. The 21-year-old striker gave the visitors the lead when his turn and shot from 25 yards took a deflection off Hayden Mullins to wrongfoot goalkeeper Roy Carroll just before the quarter-hour mark.   The visitors were looking for a penalty shortly after when Conor Washi

Notts County started well, and they finished well, but the middle bit left a lot to be desired as they slipped to another defeat, this time away to Gillingham. 2-1 was the final score after Chris Whelpdale and Danny Kedwell netted two goals in the space of five first-half minutes, strikes that shouldn't have gone in. Wonderkid Callum McGregor's strike in the second half, fantastic as it was, proved nothing more than a consolation. Chris Kiwomya began the game in a 4-3-2-1 formation, Yoann

Another match day, another defeat. It seems almost like Notts County are starting matches a goal down. Today's visitors at Meadow Lane were Preston North End, and despite Notts' overall decent performance, Iain Hume's 74th minute goal was unanswered, and at this stage of our season, we cannot keep throwing points away. Chris Kiwomya's squad suffered several injuries prior to the game, meaning changes had to be made. Fabian Speiss replaced Bartosz Bialkowski, Alan Sheehan filled the centre

In Notts County's first match following the departure of Chris Kiwomya, the Meadow Lane faithful were treated to a five-goal thriller against Oldham Athletic which, we are glad to announce, went the right way, as the Magpies won a topsy-turvy match 3-2. Danny Haynes got on the end of a great Greg Tempest cross to head his side into the lead, before Adam Rooney bundled the ball into the Notts net on the stroke of half-time. The hour mark saw Notts triple their tally courtesy of Yoann Arqui

Notts County's poor form continues as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Cambridge United in Tuesday night's League Two clash at Meadow Lane. The first chance of the game fell to U's forward Uche Ikpeazu, who made the most of a deflection in his favour but was unable to find the target from 18 yards. Shaun Derry's charges, however, continued to impress, and they duly took the lead on 26 minutes when Ikpeazu bumped off Louis Laing before playing COnor Newton through on goal to sidefoot p

Izale McLeod was the saviour for Notts County on Monday afternoon as his brace secured a point in a 2-2 draw against Morecambe in their League Two meeting at Meadow Lane. Defence has not been a strong point for Ricardo Moniz’s side in recent months, and this weakness was exposed once again as, just eight minutes in, Jamie Devitt picked up the ball and played a defence-splitting pass into the path of Shaun Miller, the striker making no mistake as he put the ball in

Earlier this week we played well against Oldham, winning 3-2. The optimist in me hoped this would be the turning point. The cynic in me was wary of believing this, as we've had several false dawns already this season that came to nothing. I may as well have trusted the pessimist, because the one step forward that was Tuesday evening was followed by three steps back today against Coventry City. A reckless sending off on the stroke of half time and not one, not two, but three soft goals con
