Match Reports

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

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

Jim O’Brien scored a hat-trick in a thrilling win against Maidstone in the final away match of the season. However, Wrexham secured the title with a 3-1 win over Boreham Wood.  O’Brien and Cedwyn Scott put the team ahead before Maidstone scored two quick goals. Ruben Rodrigues won and scored a free-kick before O’Brien completed his hat-trick. Manager Luke Williams made several changes to his team. Archie Mair started in goal instead of Sam Slocombe.  Connell Rawlinson was left out

Notts County opened their League Two campaign with a 1-1 draw at Rodney Parade, as Jodi Jones’ second-half penalty cancelled out an early goal from Newport County. Martin Paterson’s first competitive game as head coach saw ten summer signings feature in the matchday squad, with five handed starts. Kelle Roos began in goal behind a back three of Sonny Aljofree, Matty Platt, and Jacob Bedeau. Barry Cotter and Kellan Gordon occupied the wing-back roles, with captain Matt Palmer and Tom Iorpenda anc

In a high-stakes encounter between two National League heavyweights, Notts County took an early lead through a brilliant John Bostock free-kick, but Wrexham quickly responded as Paul Mullin muscled his way onto a cross to equalise and then set up Jacob Mendy for the home side's second goal. However, Kyle Cameron headed County level, and Elliot Lee restored Wrexham's lead with a close-range finish after another assist from Mullin. In a dramatic finish, Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster save

In a closely contested match at Stadium MK, Notts County managed to secure a hard-fought point against MK Dons, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw. The encounter featured two of Sky Bet League Two's early pace-setters, and the tension was palpable from the first whistle. The opening half was a tightly contested affair, with both sides creating opportunities but failing to break the deadlock. Notts County's Macaulay Langstaff had a golden opportunity to put his side ahead, but his close-rang

Another away day, another defeat, this one more embarrassing than most as Notts fell to a humbling 5-1 defeat at Sheffield United, with the only sliver of positivity coming from the fact that, rather than being in the league, it was in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. Jose Baxter opened the scoring at Bramall Lane from the spot in the 20th minute after Jamal Campbell-Ryce was brought down by Thierry Audel in the box, prompting the referee to award the home side a pen

In a crucial National League match, Notts County faced Bromley at Hayes Lane, desperately needing a win to keep their promotion hopes alive. However, they got off to a shaky start when keeper Tiernan Brooks was penalised for a foul in the 19th minute, and Adam Marriott converted the resulting penalty to put Bromley ahead. Notts County tried to get back on level terms, but their efforts were in vain until injury time. Ruben Rodrigues played a perfectly weighted pass to Macaulay Langstaff, wh

In a gripping encounter at Edgeley Park, Stockport County emerged triumphant with a 2-1 victory over Notts County. Their resilience and tactical prowess were on full display. The game wrapped up in a whirlwind of suspense, keeping spectators glued to their seats, hearts pounding, right up until the referee’s final blow. The pivotal moment unfolded in the 85th minute. Jayden Richardson of Stockport County drew a foul in the penalty area, paving the way for a nerve-wracking penalty kick. Padd

Struggling York City have secured a 2-1 against Notts County in today's League Two match at Bootham Crescent. The Magpies, buoyed from having won both away games under new manager Jamie Fullarton and with new man Jason Banton in their starting XI ahead of the game, started brightly and notched up eight corners in the first 20 minutes alone. York, however, struck unexpectedly midway through the first half when Michael Coulson caught Roy Car

Notts County's amazing unbeaten away run came to an end at the Matchroom Stadium as the Pies were beaten 2-1 by Leyton Orient, in a frustrating afternoon which saw goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski carried off on a stretcher. The defeat deprived Notts of a 23rd consecutive unbeaten away game, and handed Keith Curle his first ever away loss. Unchanged from the impressive 1-0 win against Oldham, the Pies looked to make it back-to-back wins for the first time since November, and found themselves

No Bajner, no party, goes the saying. Well, tonight Balint Bajner was present against Leyton Orient, and his goal secured all three points for a Notts County side that looked to be going off the rails – which set off a party among the Magpie faithful and the hundred or so Bajnerites that travelled from Hungary especially to see their cult hero in action for his new team. Early on in the game at Brisbane Road, Liam Noble slotted a pass through to Garry Thompson, wh

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

Notts County came from two goals down against Newport County to clinch an emphatic 4-3 win in a topsy-turvy clash at Meadow Lane. The Magpies got off to the worst possible start when Mark Byrne curled a free kick over the wall and beyond the reach of Roy Carroll to give the Exiles the lead after just five minutes. In the tenth minute the visitors struck again as Alex Rodman rifled the ball into the roof of the net, which set off a chorus o

Notts County have finally managed to give their fans a long overdue win after overcoming Stevenage 1-0 in their League Two clash at Meadow Lane, with Liam Noble’s sumptuous curling strike giving Mark Cooper his first victory as Magpies manager. The hosts fashioned the first chance of the game five minutes in, when Ronnie Henry forced a block from a Noble effort, while at the other end Chris Whelpdale dragged his shot wide of Scott Loach’s near post after finding space just inside the box on

Notts County twice took the lead against Wycombe Wanderers in Tuesday's League Two clash at Adams Park, but were pegged back twice following Liam Noble's sending off to leave them travelling back to Nottingham with a point following the 2-2 draw. The Magpies were ahead inside eight minutes after Adam Campbell was tripped in the box by Aaron Pierre, prompting the referee to award a penalty, and Jon Stead coolly converted from the spot. The

In a gruelling encounter at Sincil Bank, Lincoln City emerged as victors, sealing a 2-0 win against Notts County in a contest that had the Notts County faithful experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions. The match commenced with an air of anticipation, and both sides wasted no time in showing their intent. Lincoln City, playing host, set the tone early on. In the 6th minute, the Imps seized the initiative when Jack Burroughs clinically dispatched a right-footed shot from the right side of th

Could he, god forbid, knock him out? As it was, Apollo prevailed, just about, but nobody could begrudge Rocky for his titanic effort, especially when coming back down from an insurmountable position, and in the process, gained the respect and appreciation of the sporting world. Apollo tonight was played by Liverpool Football Club, while Notts County were sublime in their role as Rocky, taking the Premier League club into extra time and threatening a shock, before the Reds were able to finally la

Notts County secured a comfortable victory against Doncaster on a windy summer afternoon, with Macaulay Langstaff scoring his first English Football League goals and Jodi Jones adding a third.  Langstaff scored with a volley and header on either side of half-time, while Jones sealed the win with an excellent finish in front of a packed away end. Doncaster managed to score a late consolation goal, but it did little to dampen the spirits of Notts County as they claimed their second win of the

Notts County's Macaulay Langstaff was the hero of the day as he secured a crucial National League comeback victory over Dorking with his brace, helping his team return to winning ways and keeping the pressure on league leaders, Wrexham. Dorking took an early lead after just 13 minutes, thanks to Jason Prior's near-post finish following Josh Taylor's excellent play. However, Langstaff, the National League's leading scorer, responded quickly for Notts County just six minutes later. He was in

Notts County returned to winning form with a commanding victory over Scunthorpe in the National League, with Macaulay Langstaff scoring twice in the match. The Magpies started strongly, with Adam Chicksen scoring in the eighth minute after a well-placed cross from Ruben Rodrigues. Just three minutes later, Scunthorpe suffered a setback when Ben Richards-Everton scored an own goal, giving Notts County a 2-0 lead. Langstaff's first goal came in the second half, with a powerful header fro

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
