We all have our own ways of picking ourselves up after watching our team underperform. In my personal quest for reassurance, I sometimes find it helpful to listen to Martin Paterson’s post-match interviews with Adam Hassel. We’ve all listened to enough of these types of interviews to know not to expect too much from them, but sometimes the words and phrases chosen by Paterson provide important clues about how he is interpreting what he has just witnessed. After the Harrogate game he said, “we we

Notts County delivered a controlled away performance at The EV Charger Points Stadium, beating Cheltenham Town 2–1 to move back into the automatic promotion places. The Magpies came out with real intent, grabbing two goals before the break and keeping their heads as The Robins pushed to get back into it in the second half. From the first whistle, Notts found rhythm down both flanks. Keanan Bennetts and Nick Tsaroulla pushed high, while Scott Robertson and Tom Iorpenda kept the ball moving throug

Notts County head coach Martin Paterson believes his side’s growing resilience will be tested again this weekend when they face League Two leaders Gillingham. The Magpies head into the fixture on the back of consecutive league victories against Tranmere Rovers and Fleetwood Town, results that have lifted spirits and given Paterson the platform to build momentum. Paterson was quick to acknowledge the impact of striker Matthew Dennis, who was recently named League Two Player of the Month for Augus

Notts County striker Matthew Dennis heads into tomorrow’s trip to Priestfield Stadium with confidence high after a flying start to the season. The 23-year-old forward has scored five goals and provided one assist in six games, form that has already earned him the League Two Player of the Month award for August. His performances have been central to Notts County’s early campaign, and his partnership with Alassana Jatta promises to give the Magpies another attacking dimension. Reflecting on his aw

The recent wins against Shrewsbury, Tranmere and Fleetwood have given us all a lift, so it might seem a strange time to be focusing on the discontent of fans, but that’s what I intend to do in this short opinion piece. We don’t always see eye to eye with our fellow supporters but I believe most Notts fans would agree on two things. Firstly, that for the players and new coaching team it has been an uncertain start to the season, and secondly that the mood of the fans is noticeably different this

Notts County defender Jacob Bedeau hailed his side’s resilience after the Magpies earned their first clean sheet of the season with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fleetwood Town at Meadow Lane. The victory extended County’s unbeaten run to four matches and brought a sense of reward for a squad that had come close on several occasions earlier in the campaign. For Bedeau, the conditions on the day meant that it was less about style and more about substance. “Yeah, I think because of the conditions, ob

Notts County head coach Martin Paterson praised his side’s resilience and winning mentality after a narrow 1-0 victory over Fleetwood Town extended their unbeaten run to four games. The Magpies, missing winger Jodi Jones through international duty with Malta, relied on a decisive moment between their strike partnership. Alassana Jatta’s well-timed assist set up Matthew Dennis to score the only goal of the game at Meadow Lane. Reflecting on the performance, Paterson admitted that his side had not

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
