Match Reports

A two-goal display from Adam Campbell stopped Notts County from going out of the FA Cup to non-league opposition in the first round for the second consecutive year as the Magpies fought from two down to draw 2-2 at Boreham Wood. This time last year Notts were humiliated on national television as Salford City knocked them out of the competition, and it looked like more of the same 365 days later as the National League side opened the scoring in the first half. On 31 minutes, former Arse

Notts County got their Checkatrade Trophy campaign off to a winning start with a 2-1 victory over Everton Under-21s in Tuesday's fixture at Meadow Lane. The game was played out before a largely empty stadium as many fans boycotted the competition due to what they see as the Premier League imposing itself on the EFL, but there were still just under 1,500 people in the stands - arguably one of the evening's better attendances across the country. Kevin Nolan made a total of nine changes t

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 suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Crewe Alexandra on Tuesday night which knocked them off the top of League Two. Putting in one of the worst performances of the season so far, the Magpies fell behind just before half time when Michael Raynes rattled home from close range after Eddie Nolan had headed George Cooper’s free kick across goal. Crewe's win was sealed when, 66 minutes in, Jordan Bowery ran in behind to latch onto a pass from Cooper - the Notts defence caught napp

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

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

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'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

Notts County have returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion with a 4-1 win over Morecambe at the Globe Arena. Kevin Nolan made four changes to his side, taking into consideration the glut of festive games and also injuries to Shola Ameobi and Jonathan Forte. Matt Tootle, Carl Dickinson, Terry Hawkridge and Ameobi - who started the 3-3 draw with Cambridge United - made way for Nicky Hunt, Dan Jones, Liam Walker and Lewis Alessandra. The opening stages of the Boxing Day game in L

Notts County have moved into the top three of the League Two table thanks to a 1-1 draw at Cheltenham Town on Tuesday night. Originally meant to be played on Saturday afternoon, the fixture at Whaddon Road was moved back due to the adverse weather. The hosts weighed in with the first effort as Kevin Dawson fired an overhead kick wide while, at the other end, Jon Stead's cross failed to find a teammate's foot to send it goalwards. Some neat play in middle then lead to a chance for

Shaun Derry's first match in charge of Notts County sadly ended in defeat at the hands of Hartlepool United in the first round of the FA Cup. Even though Notts gave a great account of themselves towards the end of the game having pulled it back to 3-2 in the last ten minutes, the scoreline remained the same at the final whistle, knocking the Magpies out of the competition at the very first hurdle. Derry's debut side had three changes from the one that lost at Coventry last week, with Yoan

Notts County have fought back from a goal down to claim a 1-1 draw in Saturday's League Two encounter at Carlisle United. The Pies came close to getting off the mark early on when Mike Jones sloppily gave away possession in midfield, with Shola Ameobi setting up Ryan Yates on the edge of the area, but Jones was able to charge down the ensuing effort. Carlisle countered through Tom Miller, who was on hand to rifle a Jamie Devitt cross goalwards from close range, but Notts keeper Ross Fi

Notts County have slumped to a fourth consecutive loss in League Two as they left Barnet on the receiving end of a 3-2 defeat on Saturday. John Sheridan's struggling charges took the lead after 15 minutes when skipper Michael O'Connor curled the ball into the far corner of the net following a short corner routine. The Magpies were dominant and could have added to their opener on a number of occasions, but Vadaine Oliver and Genaro Snijders failed to score from good chances. Howeve

Notts County have taken a 1-0 lead in Saturday's League Two clash against Newport County at Rodney Parade, thanks to Genaro Snijders's goal five minutes before the break. The Magpies survived an early scare when a scramble in their box caused panic before Alan Smith was able to clear, and moments later Dean Morgan fired wide with an open goal at his disposal. Tommy O'Sullivan was next to threaten for the Exiles as he blasted just wide of goal 12 minutes in, but on the quarter-hour mark

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 stopped the rot in Saturday's League Two clash at Newport County as a much improved performance and a Genaro Snijders goal gave Mark Cooper's charges a 1-0 win at Rodney Parade. The Magpies survived an early scare when a scramble in their box caused panic before Alan Smith was able to clear, and moments later Dean Morgan fired wide with an open goal at his disposal. Tommy O'Sullivan was next to threaten for the Exiles as he blasted just wide of goal 12 minutes in, but on t

Notts County have ended 2017 on a sour note as their unbeaten run in League Two came to an end in a 1-0 defeat at Swindon Town on Saturday. In an uninspiring first half, the Robins got the ball in the back of the net with the first real sighting of goal for either side on 12 minutes, but it was ruled out for offside. Amine Linganzi connected with Ellis Iandolo's free kick on the volley and sent the ball beyond Ross Fitzsimons, but the midfielder was in an offside position and the goal

Notts County have claimed another vital three points in their quest to secure automatic promotion from League Two thanks to a 2-1 win over Forest Green Rovers at the New Lawn. Former FGR captain Liam Noble, not very well liked at Nailsworth following his defection back to Meadow Lane last year, was true to the match script as he haunted his former club with the opening goal for the visitors. The Magpies began brightly against a sloppy FGR backline, with Elliott Hewitt coming close earl

Notts County have slipped to their fifth League Two defeat in a row as Wycombe Wanderers claimed a 2-0 win at Meadow Lane in controversial circumstances. The visitors began brightly, with Luke O’Nien playing Scott Kashket through in the first minute, but the former Leyton Orient man couldn’t get the ball under control. John Sheridan's charges created their first chance on the quarter-hour mark when Matt Tootle cut inside and curled a shot from the edge of the area just wide of Jamal Bl

Notts County remain second in Group G of the EFL Trophy following their 2-1 defeat against Mansfield Town at Meadow Lane on Tuesday night. Both Kevin Nolan and Steve Evans made 10 changes to each of their squads with a view to checking out how the fringe players performed. The Magpies were hit with an early sucker punch, however, as a mistake from Haydn Hollis allowed Lee Angol to claim the ball and rifle into the bottom corner goal from 20 yards out, beating the diving Branislav Pindr

Not a terrible performance from Notts on Tuesday, but nevertheless another defeat at home as our season continues to show signs of unravelling as Sheffield United come to Meadow Lane and secure a 2-1 win. The first concrete chance of the game came in the eighth minute when Blair Adams sprinted down the left wing before sending a cross the way of Curtis Thompson, who backheeled the ball towards Mustapha Dumbuya. The Sierra Leone internation
