The way Notts's games have panned out recently, the club may consider selling tickets for just the second half. Joking aside, another game of two halves, this time on a Friday evening in front of the Sky Sports cameras, saw Notts play disappointingly and concede in the first 45, before a scintillating second-half display, aided by some lacklustre defending, saw Notts tear Bury apart and score four goals to give the Magpies faithful a great start to the weekend. Chris Kiwomya played a 4-4-

Finally, FINALLY Notts County have put in a display worthy of the fans' time and money AND yielded a great result. Could this be another formative step in the Greatest Escape? The Magpies went to Forest Green Rovers on Saturday for a tricky-seeming League Two fixture and left the New Lawn with all three points courtesy of a 2-1 win. Notts began brightly against the side managed by their former boss Mark Cooper as Nottingham Forest loanee Virgil Gomis forced FGR keeper Mark Lewis into a

Notts County have claimed the top spot in the National League from Wrexham, following their 3-0 triumph over Wealdstone, in which Macaulay Langstaff set a new goalscoring record. Langstaff, who scored his 41st goal of the season, broke the record for the most goals in a single campaign since the league was rebranded in 2015. County have now amassed 100 points this season with four games still remaining. The Magpies' fortunes improved further upon learning of Wrexham's 3-1 loss to Halif

Notts County surged into a two-goal half time lead against Hartlepool, relinquished it, and went on to win 3-2 in a topsy-turvy League Two clash at Victoria Park - Jamie Fullarton's third away win, and third victory in his five games so far. Just four minutes of the first half passed when Jon Stead stole the ball in midfield, powered down the pitch and nonchalantly lashed the ball from range into the top corner of the net. The hosts attemp

Notts County managed to secure a second successive away point by holding Exeter City to a 1-1 draw at St James’ Park. The hosts dominated proceedings in the first 20 minutes, Tom Nichols firing wide from distance following Jack Barmby’s dispossession at the hands of David Wheeler. In the 25th minute the Grecians took the lead in controversial circumstances when Izale McLeod was brought down in midfield by a clumsy challenge from Joel Grant, but despite the incident happeni

Another matchday, another gambit of emotions for Notts County fans. First came relief with a solid yet unspectacular win at Crawley. Then despair with a poor performance against AFC Wimbledon.  And now, delight as the Magpies clinch an impressive 2-0 win away at Luton Town, with former Notts star Alan Sheehan opening the scoring with an own goal before Jon Stead wrapped up all three points with a fantastic solo strike. The Magpies began th

Notts County recorded their first win of the 2025–26 League Two season with a convincing 4–1 victory over Shrewsbury Town at Meadow Lane.

Notts County claimed a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fleetwood Town at Meadow Lane, with Matthew Dennis scoring the decisive goal shortly after half-time. Dennis netted his sixth of the season, linking up well with Alassana Jatta, who was handed his first start of the campaign in place of the absent Jodi Jones, away on international duty. The strike proved enough to secure all three points, despite sustained pressure from the visitors. Fleetwood started strongly and threatened early. Ethan Ennis forc

While a goalless draw at home may look like a negative result at first glance, Notts County gave their fans plenty to cheer about for the first time in weeks with a gutsy performance, a clean sheet and a bright second half against playoff-chasing Wycombe Wanderers in Monday’s game at Meadow Lane. The visitors could have been behind inside three minutes as miscommunication between Ryan Allsop and Anthony Stewart allowed Adam Campbell to sneak on to a ball over the top, but the Bournemouth lo

Notts County's disappointing season has ended on a low note after Carlisle United struck five unanswered goals at Meadow Lane, while the final whistle of the League Two clash saw Mark Cooper walk away from the club. It took just four minutes for Hallam Hope to set up Newcastle United loanee Alex Gilliead to finish at the near post, setting the tone for what was to come. Just before the half-hour mark Keith Curle's side doubled their lead as Jabo Ibehre pulled the ball back for Danny Gr

Notts County showed flashes of class interspersed with sloppy play in their League Two match against Oxford United, but looked set for a point until two late goals condemned them to a 4-2 defeat at Meadow Lane. Michael Appleton's side could have gone ahead early on, but Roy Carroll kept Chris Maguire at bay with an excellent save. The Magpies worked their way into the game and, near the stroke of half time, found themselves in a good posit

Notts County have secured a spot in the League Two playoffs thanks to Saturday's resounding 4-1 win over Yeovil Town at Meadow Lane. In addition, victory took the Magpies to within two points of third-placed Wycombe Wanderers - who lost 3-0 at Accrington Stanley - with two games left to play.

Notts County's hopes of securing promotion to the English Football League suffered a setback as they were held to a 1-1 draw away at Barnet in the National League.  Despite taking the lead through Macaulay Langstaff, the Magpies were unable to hold onto their advantage and were pegged back by a powerful header from Idris Kanu. The first half was evenly contested, with both sides creating a few half-chances but failing to trouble the keepers.  However, Notts County finally broke th

Notts County completely and disgracefully fluffed their lines in front of the nation as they fell to a meek, embarrassing 2-0 defeat away at Salford City in the first round of the FA Cup. The only solace was that the overblown media love-in regarding the Class of ’92 and Richie Allen’s classy second goal put the focus solely on the achievements of Mini Man Utd as opposed to the clear and obvious failings of what the BBC effectively labelled as nondescript opposition. Were it not f

Notts County Ladies have extended their unbeaten run to six games, although they couldn't climb to the top of Group Three in the Continental Cup after drawing 1-1 with Bristol Academy. The Vixens, who trounced Oxford United Women 9-2 in midweek to seize top spot in the group despite the Lady Pies' 5-0 defeat of Aston Villa, were a goal down at the break, thanks to an amazing 25-yard volley by the prodigal Jess Clarke, but Nikki Watts bundled the ball in from close range ten minute

The hosts took the lead after just 13 minutes when Billy Kee rifled the ball inside Roy Carroll's right-hand post from 30 yards out. Just eight minutes later Stanley doubled their lead, with a cross from the right falling kindly to Romuald Boco, who m

Notts County fell to their third defeat in a row on Saturday as Plymouth Argyle's Graham Carey struck the only goal in their League Two fixture to secure all three points at Home Park and leave the Magpies empty-handed on the long trip back to Nottingham. Neither team was able to muster a proper chance until around 13 minutes in, when Jason Banton’s low driven cross fell to Jon Stead, who had a pot shot, but Hartley cleared the effort off the line.

Notts County secured a valuable point on their travels to Morecambe on Tuesday evening, with the match ending in a goalless draw. Despite consistent pressure from Notts County, neither side was able to break the deadlock, with Jodi Jones coming closest when he hit the bar early in the second half. On a beautiful evening on the Lancastrian coast, Notts County manager Luke Williams made three changes to the starting line-up that had triumphed over Grimsby at Meadow Lane on Saturday. Jim O’Bri

Notts County made an incredible comeback from two goals down to win 3-2 against Boreham Wood in the National League play-off. In the 38th minute, George Broadbent stunned the crowd with a goal, giving the visitors an unexpected lead.
