  1. Notts have met Crewe 46 times over the years. Notts: 23 Draw: 9 Crewe: 14 Notts have lost only one of their last fifteen games against Crewe, winning ten and drawing four. Despite their good record against Crewe, they haven’t won at Gresty Road since 2014. Stats Notts have lost only 1 of their last 5 games and have won their last two away games, scoring three in both games. Crewe have won only 1 of their last 4 home games but they overall, they are in the top 7 for their home form this season. Seasons in each division Division One (or Prem): 0 Division Two (or Champ): 12 Division Three (or League 1): 45 Division Four (or League 2): 37 Head-to-head stats and where they rank Goals scored: Notts – 43 (19th), Crewe – 49 (joint 14th with Newport) Goals conceded: Notts – 74 (1st), Crewe – 53 (11th) Top Scorer: Notts – Kane Hemmings (13), Crewe – Chris Porter (10) Most Appearances: Notts – Rob Milsom (32), Crewe – Perry Ng (39) Team News Notts will be without Elliott Hewitt for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. Kane Hemmings had fluid drained from his leg this week and will be available to play. The former Oxford striker has 13 goals this season. Emergency loan signing Alex Palmer will likely take his place in goal for Notts as Ryan Schofield is suspended and Ross Fitzsimons is ill. Crewe captain George Ray may return after serving a suspension, whilst wingers Charlie Kirk and Callum Ainley will look to make their way back into the starting eleven after being benched for last week's derby game against Port Vale.

  2. Notts County ended Saturday level on points with 22nd-placed Yeovil Town in League Two after rescuing a 2-2 draw against Northampton Town at Meadow Lane. Mitchell Rose had put the home side ahead with a long-range effort not long before the half hour mark after Kane Hemmings had seen his initial effort blocked. The Cobblers, however, drew level just a minute before the break, Daniel Powell turning home Sam Hoskins' cross. The start of the second half then went completely pear-shaped for the Magpies as a defensive lapse culminating in Ryan Schofield being sent off for bringing down Daniel Powell and Sam Hoskins scoring from the ensuing set piece. Neal Ardley's side didn't take long to draw level courtesy of Hemmings, who slotted home after 52 minutes following Jon Stead's pass, and keeper Ross Fitzsimons then saved well from Hoskins and Sam Foley in the closing stages as County clung on. ARLukomski was at the San Sirrel to watch proceedings - here is his take on the afternoon's action.

  3. Win. Nothing else. Just win. That is all
  4. Stevenage haven't lost a game this season when Ben Nugent has started a game. We've got to be wary of Ilias Chair as well as he's been brilliant since he went there on loan from QPR. Would be tempted to put Patching in midfield to add a bit more creativity. Rose is alright but he hasn't done as well as he has at right-back.
  5. Notts County were beaten 1-0 by Exeter City on Saturday in cruel yet wholly predictable circumstances. The League Two encounter at Meadow Lane saw the Grecians fall down to ten men yet they still went on to win, in injury time of all times. Nicky Law was the match winner, stooping in to head in a Donovan Wilson cross three minutes into stoppage time. to crush Magpies hopes. With just seven games to go this season, Notts are six points adrift of 22nd-placed Yeovil Town, while Macclesfield Town have a game in hand to pull even further clear of Neal Ardley's side. ARLukomski was at the Lane for the game - here are his pre-match, mid-match and post-match thoughts on yet another traumatic matchday for the Magpies.

  6. Notts have met Exeter 47 times. Notts: 18 Draw: 19 Exeter: 10 Notts have lost their last two meetings with Exeter and the last time they won against The Grecians at Meadow Lane was in 2012. Stats Notts have taken 10 points from a possible 15 in their last five games against teams in the top 10 in League Two. Exeter got back to winning ways last Saturday with a 3-0 win against play-off rivals Colchester. Striker Matt Jay has scored 3 in his last 5 apperances. Seasons in each division Division One (or Prem): 0 Division Two (or Champ): 0 Division Three (or League 1): 47 Division Four (or League 2): 39 Non-league: 5 Head-to-head stats and where they rank Goals scored: Notts – 38 (joint 20th with Macclesfield), Exeter – 50 (10th) Goals conceded: Notts – 71 (1st), Exeter – 37 (22nd) Top scorer: Notts – Kane Hemmings (11), Exeter – Nicky Law (8) Most appearances: Notts – Rob Milsom (29), Exeter – Jake Taylor (37) Team News Jim O’Brien maybe in contention to return for Notts after having his stitches removed from his leg, which were in place after a poor tackle from Carlisle’s Jamie Devitt. Jon Stead may also return after being out for a week due to injury. Experienced defender Aaron Martin will return from injury having played in The Grecians midweek reserve game. Fellow defenders Troy Brown and Pierce Sweeney are back in the City squad and will be pushing for a starting place.

  7. This game can't be as bad as the two against Morecambe and Vale. We also can't be any less woeful infront of goal as we were against them two as well. We need O'Brien back as he makes the midfield tick. Would start Patching instead of Rose tbh. Rose was poor against Morecambe
  8. Notts County picked up another point in a dour stalemate against Morecambe in Saturday's League Two encounter at Meadow Lane. Neither side was particularly impressive, with crosses from Matt Tootle and Enzio Boldewijn the most that the Magpies could conjure up in the first half. At the other end, the Shrimps saw defender Steven Old head over the bar at the back post after connecting with a Richie Bennett cross. The second half was little better, although Boldewijn did test Morecambe goalkeeper Mark Halstead after being played in by David Vaughan and Mitch Rose had a go on the rebound. Aaron Collins did force Ryan Schofield into a good save at the other end but in the end it was a dour 0-0 honours even.

  9. We've played 40 away games in the league since the start of last season (2017-18). We've won 9. 4 of them were in the first two months of last season as well. We've also drew 11 and lost 20. That's 38 points from a possible 120. Cheltenham have won 4 out of their last 5 home games. Cheltenham's 4 wins came against struggling teams and in their other home game, they drew 1-1 with Bury. There just feels a certain inevitability about tomorrow
  10. Notts County delivered yet another poor result as they drew 0-0 with Port Vale on Saturday, which keeps the Magpies five points adrift of safety. The game was dour and unispiring, with the 22nd-placed Valiants putting in a stronger performance than the beleaguered hosts at Meadow Lane. Vale pressed their game on the hosts early on in the game and dominated proceedings, with Tom Pope seeing a close-range header ruled out for offside and Tom Conlon hit the crossbar from 25 yards. In the end, the spoils were shared, just one point in the kind of fixture that Notts should be winning if they honestly want to survive relegation.

  11. Notts have met Port Vale 104 times in their history. Notts: 47 Draw: 21 Vale: 36 Notts currently have a three-game unbeaten run against Port Vale and have only lost 3 of their last 11 against The Valliants. Stats Notts will be looking to get back to winning ways following two successive defeats against Newport and Tranmere. Port Vale have only won two league games since they played Notts at Vale Park in the reverse fixture (November 3rd, 2018). Vale are the lowest scorers in the league (28) and have only scored once in their last six games. Seasons in each division Division One (or Prem): 0 Division Two (or Champ): 41 Division Three (or League 1): 45 Division Four (or League 2): 19 Head to head stats and where they rank Goals scored: Notts – 34 (21st), Port Vale – 28 (24th) Goals conceded: Notts – 66 (1st), Port Vale – 42 (joint 13th Swindon and Carlisle) Top Scorer: Notts – Jon Stead & Kane Hemmings (8), Port Vale – Tom Pope (8) Most Apperances: Notts – Ross Fitzsimons (28), Port Vale – Scott Brown (34) Team News Notts’ only injury concern before the game, is towards Elliott Hewitt who will be assessed after picking up a knee injury. Manny Oyeleke made his return from injury for Vale last week, but fellow central-midfielder Luke Joyce may miss the game.

  12. Notts have met Tranmere 34 times. Notts: 18 Draw: 8 Tranmere: 18 The last time Notts won at Tranmere was in the 2010-11 season when Notts ended a run of 9 straight defeats and lifted themselves out of the relegation zone. Stats Tranmere’s home record this season stands at: PLD 16, W9, D4, L3. Notts have only played once away from home since deadline day, a 2-1 win at Forest Green Rovers. That was only their second away win all season, the other coming at Macclesfield. Seasons in each division Division One (or Prem): 0 Division Two (or Champ): 11 Division Three (or League 1): 58 Division Four (or League 2): 18 Non-League: 3 Head-to-head stats and where they rank Goals scored: Notts – 34 (joint 20th with Macclesfield), Tranmere – 47 (9th) Goals conceded: Notts – 65 (1st), Tranmere – 41 (joint 12th with Oldham, Swindon, Port Vale and Carlisle) Top Scorer: Notts – Jon Stead and Kane Hemmings (8), Tranmere – James Norwood (20) Most Apperances: Notts – Ross Fitzsimons (28), Tranmere – Scott Davies (33) Team News Tranmere will be without centre-backs Sid Nelson and Steve McNulty. Nelson is recovering from a broken nose and McNulty is suffering with an achilles injury. Notts boss Neal Ardley has said some players are nursing small issues after playing their second game in three days against Newport on Tuesday. Mellon and Ardley may be looking to make changes to their starting line-ups, with this being both teams’ 3rd game in seven days.

  13. Gomis and Mackail-Smith up front for me. Energy up front. Close down the three centre-halfs. Stop them from playing out from the back and stop them from getting the ball to Bishop. Whilst Hamilton, Walker and Grant do pose the dangers for Mansfield, Bishop is the one who makes things tick. He got sent off against Carlisle and they lost. He was suspended for Yeovil and they lost. He is the key. Need to isolate Bishop and reduce his impact on the game. Also, wind Preston up
  14. Following two weeks off and some deft reinforcements in the January transfer window, Notts County put in a much improved performance in Saturday's 1-1 draw with League Two promotion chasers Lincoln City at Meadow Lane. The Magpies began superbly and were ahead after just two minutes when they won a penalty with their first meaningful attack, Harry Toffolo fouling Jon Stead, who was trying to get on the end of Mitch Rose's cross. Referee Antony Coggins pointed to the spot and the veteran striker, who had missed a penalty in front of the Kop against Bury during the festive period, made no mistake from the spot this time around. However, just before the break, Bruno Andrade drew the visitors level with a 20-yard strike that goalkeeper Ryan Schofield could not keep out, and come full time, the scoreline remained as such for a share of the spoils. Pride of Nottingham vlogger ARLukomski was at Meadow Lane for the game and was pleased with what he saw from the Magpies.

  15. If we don't win, we're finished. We must win. They've won once at home this season. Their last win at home before that was last February. Hopefully Vaughan is fully fit and he can slot in next to O'Brien in midfield so the latter doesn't have to do two jobs again
  16. Notts County put in a much-improved performance against Bury in a goalless draw that saw warm applause by the Black & White Army at full time. Neal Ardley had clearly talked some sense into his ailing players as they were bright from the off, with Rob Milsom going close with heading wide before rifling wide from just outside of the box, while Shaun Brisley also came close. David Vaughan then smashed the post with a superb effort from long range, while Kristian Dennis and Andy Kellett missed gilt-edged opportunities before the break, giving the Notts fans something to smile about - something which hasn't really happened often this season. In the second half, Bury picked up the pace as Chris Stokes headed just wide, but Notts soon regained the momentum and were given a superb opportunity from the spot when Andy Kellett's cross was handled in the box Jon Stead, County's top scorer with eight goals this season, took to the spot, but this time, Mr Reliable spurned the opportunity as he shanked his effort way over the bar into the Kop. Notts did dust themselves off and continued to impress, with Matt Tootle seeing a half-volley palmed away by Bury goalkeeper Joe Murphy, but in the end, the spoils were shared at the San Sirrel, with Notts three adrift of safety.

  17. Same team, same intensity, same shape. But just add a goal or two. I beg we don't just roll over like we always do away from home
  18. Well, it's finally got to that stage. Notts County are bottom of the Football League. Macclesfield Town, managed by one-time Magpie Sol Campbell, put in a display that overshadowed the hosts at Meadow Lane and claimed a 2-1 win which saw them leapfrog Notts off the foot of League Two. Frankly, it's the same old story. An overall turgid display, the odd good moment following the equaliser where County looked as though they would go into the lead, only for shoddy defending to prove our downfall. Scott Wilson rattled home the opener in the first hald, making the most of plenty of space to apply a good finish past Ross Fitzsimons. Against the run of play, the second half brought a leveller for Neal Ardley's side when good hustling from Jon Stead lead to Keston Davies squaring for Kane Hemmings to drive home. Nine minutes from time, however, Wilson once again had the freedom of the area to sweep the ball into the bottom corner of the net nine minutes from time. Although the Silkmen saw a man sent off late on, the numerical advantage was chalked off as Davies was then shown a straight red card for firing the ball into an opposition player's face while on the ground. Long-suffering Notts fan ARLukomski, who's experienced far too much footballing misery for such a young man, continues to persevere with his superb vlogs - here's his latest entry.

  19. Notts County will spend Christmas in the bottom two of League Two following their 4-0 hammering at Grimsby Town. The Mariners got off the mark after just over the three-minute mark, youngster Harry Clifton heading home on the rebound from Harry Cardwell's initial effort Notts then did enjoy a period of pressure but spurned their opportunities and before the break they fell further behind through Harry Davis, who rose highest to head home. Michael Jolley's side never looked back as Davis claimed his second and Grimsby's third, while Wes Thomas fired home on the volley to truly ruin the Black & White Army's Christmas. ARLukomski, the ever-loyal and long-suffering Notts County vlogger, has provided us with a great insight into the game at Blundell Park.

  20. First and foremost. Tootle and Evina in for Hewitt and Jones. Hewitt isn't a right-back and Jones isn't a footballer. Play 4-4-2 with Thomas on one wing and either Osborne or Kellett on the other (clutching at straws). 2 up front. I don't think I have ever seen Notts play one up top and it work. We can't really do much to the squad until January
  21. To be honest we are waiting till January to get a better left back in. Both Jones and Evina aren't that great. I don't think Milsom could do a worse job than both of them
  22. Would maybe bring Evina in for Jones. Apart from that I would probably keep the same team. Davies to just sit in midfield and bulldoze people. Grimsby are unbeaten in 6 at home so they looked to have found a rhythm at Blundell Park despite struggling their earlier in the campaign
  23. Nathan Thomas isn't fit to lace Alex Rodman's boots
  24. Notts County have met Mansfield Town 52 times over the years in the Nottinghamshire derby. Notts: 18 Draw: 15 Mansfield: 19 Notts haven’t won a Nottinghamshire derby in 13 years (Notts and Mansfield didn’t play each other in the league for 7 years between 2008 and 2015) and have lost on their last four visits to Field Mill for a league game. Since the derby resumed from 2015-16 onwards, Mansfield are unbeaten against winning 4 times and drawing twice with an aggregate score of 14-3. Stats Mansfield are on a 12-game unbeaten run in League Two and have only lost once this season (a 2-1 home loss to Exeter). In that run, they have won 5 and drew 7. Notts are winless in their last eight league games but with Neal Ardley now in charge, they hope the ex-Dons boss will steady the ship. In the eight-game winless run, Notts have drawn 4 and lost 4, scoring 6 and conceding 15. Seasons in each division First Division (or Prem): 0 Second Division (or Champ): 1 Third Division (or League 1): 42 Fourth Division (or League 2): 32 Non-League: 5 History Mansfield were elected to the football league in 1931. Mansfield have the oldest professional football ground, currently in the football league. March 1st is known as “Amber day” by Mansfield fans in reference to the day John Radford bought Field Mill from despised owner Keith Haslam. The Stags were the first club to complete an entire season unbeaten at home in the 1950-51 season. Team News Jon Stead looks set to return to the starting line-up for Notts whilst fellow striker Kane Hemmings has trained this week. Enzio Boldewijn and Lewis Alessandra will be out for a while with injuries picked up in November. Matt Tootle is doubtful, and Ben Hall will be out long term after rolling his ankle earlier this week. Alex MacDonald and Krystian Pearce may miss the game whilst CJ Hamilton played 45 minutes on Tuesday in the 1-0 Checkatrade Trophy loss to Bury. David Mirfin has resumed training in the past few weeks.
