Match Report: Controversial Offside Decision Costs Notts County in Narrow Defeat
Putting aside the result, Notts had the chances to win, but unfortunately, it wasn’t our day. I thought the officiating was poor, but we had several chances to make something of the game, and sometimes that’s how it ends. I am encouraged, considering we only just fell short. I thought Sam Austin’s goal should have stood.

Match Discussion: Game 7 - The Gills (H)
Gillingham aren’t as good as they think. They have done well so far and deserve credit for that, but comparing our sides, we are very blessed, and that quality should shine through. I think it will be a lively encounter, with the first half ending 0-0. The second half is where I imagine the action will unfold, and I hope it is in favour of Notts rather than them.

Notts County’s Unpredictability Key to Success, Says Stuart Maynard Before Gillingham FC Test
I think you can see that the club is approaching each team differently as we are attacking them in various ways. We’re becoming less reliant on using the wider areas of the pitch, which has been predictable in recent years. Still, it’s very good and promising football. I praise the team’s efforts in working hard to break down teams. I don’t really listen to much about how teams’ defences are doing; they haven’t faced us, and likewise, we haven’t really had a tough game so far.

Opposition View: Gillingham FC Fans on Their Promotion Push & Tough Test Against Notts County
Good insights! It’s nice to read level-headed fans talk and open up about their team. I wasn’t aware of their injury issues. It says a lot about them for being able to continue as if it doesn’t affect them. So, good start for them, but I am hoping we can keep winning at Meadow Lane. No game is easy, but we have to be at our best, and a good performance would build more confidence.

HIGHLIGHTS | BROMLEY 2-4 NOTTS COUNTY
The defending for the first goal was very poor. Right from kick-off, we were under pressure again. This is why Notts shouldn’t always pass the ball all the way back. Instead of inviting pressure, they should try to find space ahead of them. This way, they might get comfortable on the ball and find it less challenging.

Football is a Squad Game Now.
Notts has always needed to rely on the squad. It’s just that it’s taken time to sign players who are good enough to rotate whilst still maintaining a solid team performance. I think the squad now has a lot of talent. The only player I am unsure about is Robbie Cundy, but the rest have fitted in well. Cundy could improve over time, but he’s the only player who doesn’t quite fit our squad right now.
-
Macaulay Langstaff Watch.
The shot Macaulay Langstaff had was a close effort. All the talk and lack of playing time impacts a performer, even if they don’t realise it. He would have scored that for us, but it was still a good effort and a positive sign. If Millwall can build similar chances, he’ll come good, but he needs to be played. Millwall need to give him confidence so he can focus and ignore the stats.

Stuart Maynard Reflects on Notts County's Depth Ahead of Gillingham Clash
I am happier knowing Notts are at home to Gillingham than playing at their ground. I feel the 12th man will encourage the players to perform at their best. Stuart Maynard is right about the depth. Rotation at times is useful too. It was good to see Jodi Jones, Jatta, and Dan Crowley find the net.

How Jodi Jones’ Extension Sets the Stage for Notts County’s Future
Jodi Jones' commitment to our club until 2027 speaks volumes about his character and passion. What truly sets him apart is how much he values the fans and their support. You can feel the excitement in his words when he talks about staying. His preference for assisting teammates instead of chasing personal stats embodies true sportsmanship. Under the direction of Stuart Maynard, Jones has grown immensely, and his decision to remain signifies his belief in the club’s future. His connection with fans and his unselfish play style are what make him such a cherished player at Notts County

Matt Palmer Reflects on ‘Long Road’ to Returning for Notts County
Palmer’s return has been marked by an incredible performance and much-needed leadership. His ability to come back from a serious injury and immediately make an impact speaks volumes about his resilience and professionalism. Against Bromley, his influence was unmistakable as he guided the team from a precarious position to a glorious victory. His reflections post-match highlighted the depth of the squad and his admiration for teammates like Jodi Jones. It’s clear that Palmer is not only a player but also a mentor and motivator. His experience will be pivotal as we continue in League Two, and his return could not have come at a better time.

Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Ravens (A)
Solid performance once those horrible 6 minutes had passed. I don’t know why Cheek always seems likely to score against Notts, but he was outshined in the long run. The penalty couldn’t have come at a better time, and while 4-2 might be misleading based on how Bromley played, there’s no doubt Notts deserved the win. It was a classy performance to come back into the game against a decent team who shouldn’t be written off. Wins like this are important.

Match Report: Notts County’s Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley Lead 4-2 Comeback Victory Over Bromley FC
What a rollercoaster of a match! To start so poorly and be 2-0 down within six minutes was disheartening, but the team showed immense character. Jodi Jones winning and converting the penalty was the turning point, and from there, the team took control. Dan Crowley and Alassana Jatta’s goals were a testament to our attacking flair. Special mention to Alex Bass for keeping us in the game with some stellar saves. This win is a solid indication of our potential this season.

Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Ravens (A)
I wasn’t able to get a ticket for the game, although I had made plans to attend. So, I have a free weekend now. I am not that bothered, but I think Bromley should have allocated more seats to bring in extra revenue from our fans. I hope that Notts can show more improvements away from home. The Swindon win was pleasing and well-deserved, but the home games so far have been much more polished performances from the team. I assume Bromley will want to make it hard work for Notts, so they may commit bodies behind the ball. It would be nice to see David McGoldrick’s form continue. It would also be pleasing to see Matt Palmer make his full return, along with Dan Crowley and Jodi Jones. It’s a must-win game to keep morale high and hope alive amongst the fans.

Record-Breaking Jodi Jones Signs New Deal to Secure Future at Notts County
I'm over the moon about Jones' contract extension! His contribution to Notts County has been invaluable, evident from his record-breaking 24 assists last season. Jodi's versatility and ability to perform consistently make him a cornerstone of our squad. Stuart Maynard's comments on his potential as a goal threat is exciting. Jodi's adaptation on the right wing has provided us with new tactical advantages, making it harder for opponents to contain him. His improved defensive skills highlight his dedication and growth as a player. Securing his services until 2027 is a fantastic decision by the club. Can't wait to witness more magic from Jodi, he’s a true pie!

Jodi Jones Nominated for Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month
I would be happy if any Notts player was chosen, so I'm pleased that Jodi Jones was selected as Sky Sports' League Two Player of the Month for August. He has played very well so far, and I hope this will inspire him to play even better for Notts.

Notts Alumni: Paul Devlin
When Paul Devlin signed for Notts County, there was a lot of excitement and hope for success. Sometimes he played scrappy football, but he was a very good player who enjoyed the club's success in the early 1990s. He was part of a group of young players, like Tommy Johnson, Mark Draper, and Michael Johnson, who were destined for success in football. His career was long and successful, and Birmingham City fans remember his performances fondly. He is also fondly remembered by Notts County fans.

Match Report: David McGoldrick at the Double as Magpies Secure Confident Home Win
It's fantastic to see Notts performing so well, especially with key players missing. McGoldrick's finishing was top-notch, and Bass’s saves were crucial. The team's ability to control possession and create chances shows the depth and quality in the squad. Abbott's contributions in midfield were impressive, breaking up play and linking up with teammates seamlessly. Overall, a well-rounded and professional performance that promises great things for the rest of the season.

Notts County to Honour Sven-Göran Eriksson with Minute's Applause
It is appropriate that Notts County is paying tribute to Sven-Göran Eriksson, whose time as Director of Football was a significant boost and media attraction during one of the club's best seasons in many years. It is sad to think that we are saying goodbye to him without being able to bring him back to the club in the years since, but this tribute will be our way of recognizing his contributions.

Opposition View: Accrington Stanley Fan’s Perspective on Facing Notts County
It's good to hear from Accrington fans. They're usually fair. Accrington Stanley has been successful under Andy Holt. He seems to care about the club, and it's hard for teams like ours to keep our best players. Notts knows this from losing Langstaff and Nemane. I think Notts can use the momentum from recent games. If our players work hard, we should score goals.
-
Match Discussion: Game 5 - The Owd Reds (H)
Well, it's good to see Jatta back in the starting lineup. The rest of the team should stay the same. David McGoldrick played well at Swindon Town, but I think he's better coming on from the bench. He just played a full game. Accrington Town has some good players, but they haven't been able to keep many of their best ones.

David McGoldrick: ‘It Wasn’t My Greatest Performance, But Two Goals and a Win Are What Matters'
This is what an experienced player does when the team is in form. Part of me is glad that he recognises the need to improve, but I also think he's being a bit too hard on himself. His performance was perfectly fine. As I said, a player with his background and experience in the Championship will only help us with our promotion goals.

George Abbott Excited for New Chapter at Notts County: "It's a Good Opportunity" Says Tottenham Hotspur's Young Midfielder
George Abbott’s arrival at Notts brings a lot of excitement and promise. Coming from a club like Tottenham, he brings a wealth of training and experience that could prove invaluable. It’s great to see his eagerness to dive into the League Two environment and his keen interest in playing in front of our amazing supporters. His remarks on the club's style of play and his compatibility with it give me hope that he’ll fit right in. Also, his desire to make an impact while aiming for a spot on the England Under-20 squad speaks to his ambition.

Tottenham Hotspur’s U21 Captain George Abbott Joins Notts County on Loan
Welcome to Notts County, George Abbott! Reading about your journey from Tottenham's Under 8s to the Under 21 captain is truly inspiring. It shows how dedicated and hardworking you are. I’m particularly excited about your versatility on the field, being able to play in different positions. Your experience in high-profile matches and leading teams to victories at such a young age speaks volumes about your potential. I’m sure you’ll bring a fresh and dynamic approach to our squad. Best of luck!

Match Discussion: Game 4 - The Robins (A)
We don't need to change our playing style much. Stuart Maynard will probably keep the team the same. Everyone who played against Grimsby Town is healthy, so I expect the team to stay mostly the same. Jatta is a player that Swindon fans like. Let's hope he can score for us.
