Notts County earns support from Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, who aims to show support in promotion bid
At least he has good intentions in going there. Some of our fans tend to nit pick over trivial matters and a few would even argue with themselves over insignificant things. In my opinion, if Ryan Reynolds wants to support Notts, that should be the end of it. No one should complain because imagine how the players would feel knowing he wants them to achieve promotion.

Jodi Jones reflects on his 'amazing feeling' after scoring winner for Notts County
It is important for Luke Williams and Notts County to sign Jodi Jones on a permanent basis. His talent has the potential to attract more fans to games and, more importantly, help the team win crucial matches.

Faces of PON 22-23: Boreham Word (H) PSF
There are some great photos in the gallery. It's nice to see Notts fans having a good time after all these years. Games like the one on Sunday remind us why we support Notts.

Match Discussion: Play Off Semi-Final - The Wood (H)
This Sunday, Notts County will be facing off against Boreham Wood at Meadow Lane. Notts finished in the 2nd position in the league, while Boreham Wood secured the 6th spot. However, Boreham Wood managed to defeat Barnet, who finished 5th, in their playoff eliminator game. There are a couple of key players to keep an eye on in this match, including Matt Palmer, who maintains a composed demeanour and acts as a link between the defence and offence, and Ruben Rodrigues, who is well-known for his ability to unlock play, create opportunities, and take shots on goal. Notts has a strong track record when playing at home, and with the game being broadcast on BT Sports and a sold-out crowd expected, fans are hoping for a solid performance. My prediction would be, 3-1 to Notts, with goals from Macaulay Langstaff (twice) and Adam Chicksen. This is certainly a match that is bound to be exciting!

Macaulay Langstaff and Les Bradd: A Relationship Built on Goals and History
Macaulay Langstaff has demonstrated remarkable prowess on the pitch. While he could still benefit from some guidance from Les Bradd, there’s no disputing that he’s the premier striker below the Championship tier. With his aptitude for driving the club up the leagues, it would be splendid if Notts were able to fully harness his potential while he’s with them.

Jim O’Brien’s hat-trick secures thrilling Notts County win away against Maidstone United
It was great to see Jim bag a hat-trick in the game. His experience and skill on the field are truly something to behold. He’s a real leader on the squad and his influence is undeniable. It’s interesting to compare him to Michael Doyle, who was vastly over-appreciated in my opinion. For some reason, Jim doesn’t seem to get the same level of recognition despite being a much better player. It just goes to show how subjective these things can be.

Notts County's upcoming play-off run: a look back at the thrilling campaign
I couldn't agree any more with @TheSkipper and @Chris. Throughout this season, both clubs have benefited from the close competition and the setbacks faced earlier on seemed to give Notts the extra push they needed to succeed. Although there were some initial doubts, the team's incredible performances, record-breaking achievements, and ability to apply pressure to their rivals have been truly inspiring. Simon has done a good job highlighting the team's shift in strategy, moving away from big-name signings and instead opting for unproven players. These tactics have proven to be successful, with promising performances and a renewed hope for playoffs success.

Match Discussion: Game 44 - The Cardinals (H)
The first half did not meet the standard set this season, but fans should expect this from time to time. Earlier in the season, we had some scrappy away wins that felt like we had robbed the home team, mostly because chances came late on. When this squad clicks, the level of threat increases. I thought it was only a matter of time before we took the lead. Woking did not pose much of a threat; they had good build-up play but seemed nervous when they got goal-side. Any other team on their day would have tested Sam Slocombe more. Sam Austin was class from start to finish and deserved the man of the match award.

Match Discussion: Game 43 - Red Dragons (A)
The nerves are beginning to kick in, and the excitement is building. I sincerely hope to witness Notts demonstrate fearlessness against Wrexham. Almost every manager has claimed that we are the best team in this league. Therefore, the players must overcome their nerves and concentrate on asserting this point. If events unfold favourably for Notts, I trust that Luke Williams will encourage the team to give their all.

Match Discussion: Game 42 - The Stones (H)
Could the day have gone any better for Notts County? Halifax will have a number of grateful Magpie fans wishing them well from here on, and if they're the team that gives us the unthinkable chance of winning the title, we'll be all the more grateful for their 3-1 win over Wrexham. As for Notts yesterday, it was a routine victory, and I thought the players looked very eager to get the game underway and score an early goal. It was one of the best games of the season in terms of support, on-pitch performance, and everything else connected to the club. The atmosphere was electric, and everyone involved with the club was delighted with the result.

Cedwyn Scott and Junior Morias set to boost Notts County's firepower in final push for promotion
I don't like how Luke Williams openly talks about the importance of Langstaff; it's tempting fate, and any of the teams in the final few games may decide to take him out. I know he's clearly one of our most important players with the number of goals scored, but speaking about how keeping him fit is just tempting fate.

Match Discussion: Game 12 - The Hatters (H)
I hope Notts can be at the strongest lineup to face Stockport, home soil and much needed points.
-
Match Discussion: Game 37 - Pools (A)
Notts needs to dig deep to get a positive result, Hartlepool are hard to beat at home but I am hopeful we can go 3 games unbeaten.

Match Discussion: Game 4 - The U's (A)
I will be tuning into the game via BBC Radio Nottingham. I don't know what to expect, Sutton have gotten themselves off to a flying start by winning all of their games so far. At home they will want to protect this, so any three of the possible outcomes could happen. I don't see any risk of postponement, I know some have been banging about the rain on social media. Sutton I suspect will be clever and attack using set pieces. By now most teams should have done their home work with this issue. If Roberts starts, I would feel Notts has more of an outlet. If he doesn't, I don't see the wider spaces being exploited and I think this would make it much harder for Notts to be creative.

Match Discussion: Game 2 - The Robins (H)
Unleash Rodrigues and, allow him to have a level of freedom that an attacking minded midfielder has. Put Reeves in over Doyle and, save him for Saturday. Keep Thomas and Wootton up top.

Notts County issue 2019/2020 retained list
New deals need to be offered earlier than just at the end of every season, it seems poor planning and a lack of long term vision. Alex Lacey, Richard Brindley and Kristian Dennis would all be on my team sheet. It's very important the club secures their services.
-
Match Discussion: Game 38 - The Bluebirds (A)
The sending off is easily the turning point in the game, but its still a good win. Usually Notts never takes advantage of having the extra man, they do better when we go one down but I do always feel the changes helped to bring the team into the game more. All I know is it's a fantastic three points.
-
Match Discussion: Game 36 - Monkey Hangers (A)
I am hoping the next game sees a large improvement, they wasn't at the races and the performance wasn't there at all. Very poor from the whole squad, but I still believe securing a playoff place is possible. Issue is balancing the poor performances with good ones.
-
Match Discussion: Game 32 - Daggers (A)
I will go for a 2-0 win. I agree with starting Kristian Dennis, even Nathan Tyson would be nice to see. Get an early goal, come out in the second half and put the game to bed.

Notts County fans pay tribute to Mick Vinter
He suffered a bit of a fall from grace, a very kind man nonetheless.

Alexlevy0908: Best and worst Notts County away days this season
The National League is a bit hit and miss with the facilities, but I do think the experience will benefit the club in the long run. Notts have had to learn and adapt on their feet, away from home especially. No more complaints about bumps in the pitch I hope, like Dean Leacock would moan about. Notts have gone back to the roots in football.

Match Discussion: Game 31 - The Whites (H)
A stalemate might be disappointed, but nothing ended up being dropped and it's a clean sheet. There will be games like this. It's all about collecting wins on the row, and not losing games.
-
Match Discussion: Game 29 - The Magpies (A)
As others have said, it's a good point but awfully boring to watch for the majority of the game. Notts had good chances, as did they but nobody could make the most of them.
-
Match Discussion: Game 26 - The Shaymen (A)
I will go for a 2-1 lucky win for Notts. I don't expect a good performance, but I think we can take Halifax even if they're on home soil.
