TRAINING | SUTTON PREPARATIONS

Notts County manager has shared his thoughts on the team’s preparation for their first season in League Two in four years. In an interview, he stated that the team has tried to increase the intensity and volume of their work, while keeping their approach similar to last season. “We’ve tried to do something very similar to what we did last season. But of course we needed to try and increase the intensity that we work at and the volume of everything that we do,” he said. He acknowledged that there will be more quality, pace, and impressive athletes in League Two, and that the team needs to be able to play against those players, stop them, and cause them problems. “I imagine there’s going to be more quality, more pace, more impressive athletes. And so we need to be able to play against those players, and we need to be able to stop them and also to be able to cause those players problems,” he said. The manager also addressed the issue of teams playing with a deep block against Notts County. He stated that many teams ended up in a deep block against Notts County last season, even if it was not their original plan. “First of all, for clarity, I think we had 2 home games where the opposition genuinely had a game plan to sit really deep. Many, many times when you watch the opposition deep it was not their plan at all, but they were forced into that position,” he said. He believes it is yet to be seen if Notts County can impose themselves in League Two, but they will have the same approach and mentality as last season. When asked about the team’s recruitment, the manager stated that he does not have a huge amount to do with it, but he believes that last season’s recruitment was outstanding due to the return of goals and level of performances from the players brought in from the National North and National South. “Last season the recruitment was outstanding because of the return of goals and the level of performances from the players that were brought in from the National North and National South,” he said.

POST-MATCH | SHREWSBURY 1-1 NOTTS COUNTY | LUKE WILLIAMS

GOAL | SHREWSBURY 1-1 NOTTS COUNTY

Notts County has announced the completion of a season-long loan signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Ollie Tipton. The 19-year-old player recently spent time on trial with Notts County, with the aim of securing a loan move. This morning, the club confirmed that the loan move had been completed. Ollie Tipton is a promising young defender who will bring his skills and talent to the Magpies for the upcoming season. In a recent interview, Tipton expressed his excitement about joining Notts County, saying "From what I've seen, it's a really good club. It looks like the club is going on to something special and I couldn't wait to be a part of it." The club and its fans are excited to welcome him to the team and look forward to seeing him in action on the pitch. This loan move is a great opportunity for Ollie to gain valuable experience and develop his abilities, while also helping Notts County achieve their goals for the season. A statement released by the Notts County board of directors reads: "We’re really pleased to add Ollie to our ranks for the duration of the campaign, and would like to thank Wolves for entrusting us with his development. We were keen to add another defensive option to the squad and Ollie has all the qualities we look for in that area. While we see him primarily as a central defender, his ability in possession means he’s also capable of playing as a defensive midfielder. His versatility could prove crucial over the course of a long campaign, and we look forward to seeing how he progresses in his time with us." This is his first loan move away from Wolves, where he first joined their academy at the age of 11. Tipton established himself as a leader within the Wolves academy, captaining both their Under 18s and Under 21s sides. In recognition of his talent and potential, he was rewarded with a contract running until 2025. Ollie Tipton made his senior debut for Wolves against Crewe in the 2021-22 EFL Trophy. He continued to gain experience in the same competition last season, helping his side progress through the group stage before being narrowly defeated by Manchester United on penalties. The loan move to Notts County presents an exciting opportunity for Tipton to further develop his skills and gain valuable experience at a senior level. Speaking about his role in the team, Tipton said "I'm a defender and I like to think I can play all across the back three. I'm comfortable on the ball and like to start attacks. On the defensive side, I think I'm quick and athletic. Hopefully, I can bring that into the team." He also expressed his ambition for the season, saying "As I said, I think this club is onto something special and promotion has definitely got to be up there. I really want to be a part of it."
