Notts County ace Matt Tootle has taken to Twitter to update fans on how he is following a comment he heard from a fan at Meadow Lane wondering whether he is okay. The defender has had very little game time this season and hasn't featured in many of Neal Ardley's squads, but the player has reassured fans that his mental health is as good as ever. Several years ago, Tootle spoke publicly about having battled mental health issues in the past, but in response to the fan who asked about his current state of mind, he said he was fine. He added that his absence is purely football related, namely being out of favour. Here are his tweets on the subject:

We at Pride of Nottingham have been stocking numerous posters of some of Notts County's greatest players in the club's history, but now we've decided to pay homage to some of the current Magpies with posters of three early fan favourites from this season. First up is Regan Booty, one of County's new midfield generals, who joined the Magpies in August after ending his 13-year stay at Huddersfield Town earlier this summer. Next up is striker Nathan Tyson, who has enjoyed a fruitful career in the game after coming through the ranks at Reading, turning out for the likes of Wycombe Wanderers, Derby County and Doncaster Rovers as well as Notts on loan. Last but not least is goalkeeper Sam Slocombe, who was most recently with Bristol Rovers and has made just shy of 200 Football League appearances following his professional debut in September 2009.

Notts County have made two signings today as midfielder Regan Booty and striker Wes Thomas link up with the Meadow Lane outfit. Booty, a 21-year-old playmaker who spent last season on loan at Aldershot, joins the Magpies on a permanent deal after ending his 13-year stay at Huddersfield Town earlier this summer. As for 32-year-old Thomas, who was most recently with Grimsby, he has joined up with Neal Ardley’s squad as the Magpies recruited a replacement for Kane Hemmings, who left for Dundee on Thursday. Booty made 40 appearances during his spell at Aldershot, while in pre-season he spent time with Bradford City and Halifax Town, clocking up over 500 minutes in friendlies this summer. Thomas, meanwhile, made his professional debut in 2008 while at Dagenham & Redbridge and has made over 300 league appearances since, with a CV boasting the likes of Birmingham City and Bournemouth. Up next for Notts is the trip to Harrogate on Tuesday night, their fourth game this month.
