A great win for Notts on a tricky pitch. A different kind of win today compared to the win against Swindon. If Notts are going to get promotion adapting to different opponents & conditions is vital for that success.
So who's your Man of the Match for Notts today who battled and dug in for an important win. I have included three substitutes added to the starting eleven.
Belshaw, Macari, Platt, Bedeau, Tsaroulla, Norburn Iorpenda, Jones, Grant, Hall, Jatta, Robertson, Ndlovu, Dennis.

Long drive and cold terrace, Great away support, pathetic home effort. Iโve been a critic of Grant for inconsistent performances but today he blew me away. Solid and hard pressing for 97mins, Great shift Conor ๐๐

This was a game that was short on quality, but that wasn't Notts's fault. The pitch played a massive part, not to mention the anti-football tactics of Fleetwood which the ref did nothing about. So for me a man of the match would be a player who led the way in passion graft and determination. For me it has to be Ollie Norburn. His celebration for the second goal typified it for me.
2
Norburn had another good game and Conor Grant put in a decent 90 minutes plus but Scott Robertson steadied the ship in that 2nd half. We faffed about after the 2nd goal and incurred stupid yellows that Could still bite us in the rear end But we won on a crap ***** in awful conditions. Weโre human, weโre here and weโll keep on keeping on.

A good, hard-earned win against an average side. Really pleased with how we're shaping up, and our options on the bench give us genuine depth. MP will have a bit of a headache once some of our new signings are ready to play.
Ndlovu had a genuine impact and showed he's a real team player by squaring to Dennis for the winner when he could have scored himself. It took me an embarrassingly long time to work out that the commentator wasn't saying "Liam Love" though! And another assist for that new number 10 who reminds me of Jodi Jones in his prime!
PS: we are staying up!

Good morning, itโs a dull one again, itโs forecast to be dry but overcast and cold all day here, however this time next week Iโll be basking in the sun with temperatures in the 20s or 70s for you luddites. ๐
Yes Iโm off on holiday again flying to Lanzarote on Friday for a week of sun and sea. The count down is on so this week will be all about making sure weโve got everything, checking lists etc.
Have a great day everyone.

I'm thinking about getting a bus pass @Michael D Pie. Even if I don't use it a lot it's still worth having. Sometimes we use the local taxi service when the car has been off the road at times.
I was surprised I'd done less than a 1000 miles this year. Even so, it still worth keeping the car on the road. One never knows when one will need it.
I was due to be at Fleetwood to see #Notts play on Saturday but was admitted to A&E at 2300h Friday night. 13 1/2 hours later, finally discharged. Never take tomorrow for granted

Sounds like you had a scare @Piethagoram, hope you're doing OK now.

We have completed the signing of Barnet forward Lee Ndlovu.
The 31-year-old joins us for an undisclosed fee and signs an 18-month contract with the option of another year in the clubโs favour.
Director of Football Richard Montague said: โLee is a player weโve admired for a long time and adds another dimension to what is already a very strong attack.
โHeโs extremely powerful, a constant menace to defenders and someone who will create space for others in the attacking third.
โLee has been a key player in what we consider to be a very strong Barnet team and weโre delighted to welcome him to Meadow Lane.โ
https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2026/january/24/signing--lee-ndlovu/
2
Has Ndlovu chickened out by not taking the No.9 shirt though? He mentioned Macca in his interview, and was very positive about him. I know they are only numbers but it is strange not seeing any of our forwards with that shirt.
On 25/01/2026 at 20:21, liampie said: i am not adding this to be negative but i thought straight away, here is the new junior morias.
Definitely, in the sense that it's insurance for the second half of a promotion bid.
Say we keep Jatta, but he got injured....we absolutely have to have a physical presence at both ends of the pitch. I wouldn't like to see us in play-off semis against Salford or Cambridge say, and we get bullied and wimp out like last season.
Apart from that there's not much similarity, different style, age, length of contract. He's got a season and a half to prove himself and make a contribution.. He may only get about 6 goals across that time and still be popular and a good signing.
1
On 27/01/2026 at 10:16, Mapperley Pie said: Agree @McPie . Just listened to his interview and he comes across very well. Very clear of his role and how he would fit in. An old fashioned Division 4 forward ๐ค.
Yeah, I think the new signings and his signing in particular will be a boost and I really fancy us to win well today.
He seems very positive and the way he spoke about Notts County made us sound like the place to be. Would all the players watch that interview? His enthusiasm about joining County could give an extra boost to the positivity and pride in wearing the shirt.
2
Three wins on the spin for the Magpies & a massive win against one of our arch rivals for promotion.
It could have been a bigger margin if Notts would have been able to take more of the chances they created. They thoroughly deserved the win tonight.
So who is your best player for Notts tonight? I have chosen the starting eleven plus Dennis, who scored the vital winning goal.
Those players are,
Belshaw, Macari, Platt, Bedeau, Tsaroulla, Norburn, Iorpenda, Jones, Grant, Hall, Jatta, Dennis.
I went for Norburn, heโs really won me over now, he was tidy on the ball and he was pressing and hassling all match. We looked a bit all over the place when he went off that last 10, but I think he needed the rest!ย The back three were on top form and Jatta was also brilliant.
2
It was a very good team performance. Pity that Notts couldn't have taken some of those chances that they created in the first & second halves apart from the two goals they scored.
I think that the team performance was the best of the season so far.
The first goal has now been credited to Jatta, so along with his goal, & due to his exceptional performance, including that exquisite flick that let in Dennis for the winning goal, I award him with my vote for Man of the Match..

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.
1
The fact that Paterson embraced all his outfield players as well as those on the bench after the match just demonstrates the type of gaffer he is.
But it also demonstrated the he was absolutely over the moon with the performance. A great performance in such an important match will be noticed and talked about amongst all other 23 clubs in League 2.
The win will certainly send a message to all those 23 Clubs that Notts have become a force to be reckoned with. Notts are not the soft touch that they used to be.
2
1
It would really signify issues at West Ham had they bought Traore from us.
Part of me hopes he can come in and start to show signs of improvements, but that is very slim now. I accepted awhile ago that he seems destined to be a flop, but I hope we can get some of the transfer fee back that we paid without him going on a free.
2
This is a very strange decision when Fleetwood are still in mid table & only 9 points from a playoff place.
It's always a strange time for someone to take over with the transfer window shut by the time someone is appointed.
The owners could be looking for a new boss to give the side a bounce, but it could easily go the other way. In my opinion it will be tough for Interim Head Coach Matt Lawlor, (who was first team coach under Pete Wild), although his team beat bottom of the table Harrogate on Saturday.
Time for a midweek round with a very League One/Two flavour, which are the only proper divisions anyway. Send in your predictions by 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday and don't forget your joker!

https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2026/january/26/signing--harald-tangen/
Attacking midfielder Harald Nilsen Tangen has joined us from Sarpsborg 08.
The 25-year-old Norwegian, who has made 130 appearances in his native top flight, arrives on an initial loan which could be made permanent this summer.
Director of Football Richard Montague said:ย โHarald has lots of exciting qualities.
โHeโs very strong technically with an excellent first touch, an eye for a pass, quick feet and a rapid change of direction which allows him to get out of tight spaces and carry the ball into dangerous areas.
โHarald is also very hard-working in the press and heโs been an important player for both Sarpsborg and Viking FF at the top level of Norwegian football.
โItโs great to add him to the list of talented players we already have in the attacking midfield position.โ
Born in Stavanger, Tangen is a product of Viking FKโs academy and, having shown his promise in a handful of first-team appearances both at Viking and out on loan in the second tier, enjoyed his breakthrough season in 2021 as he scored five goals in 27 Eliteserien appearances.
Tangan, who won Norway youth caps up to Under 20s level, remained a mainstay in Vikingโs side over the next two-and-a-half seasons before signing a long-term contract with Sarpsborg in August 2024.
He'll wear squad number 27.
1
It all sounds very promising. I've looked at his career stats on Transfermarkt, he plays regularly, which tends to be a good sign. He's also only played for two clubs permanently, so he's not one of those players who get a new team every season either. Hopefully he can adapt quickly and help us.
According to Transfermarkt he's played in central midfield more often than as an attacking midfielder. In the 38 games he's played as an attacking midfielder, he picked up 11 goals and assists, which is pretty decent.
Like @Mapperley Pie says, the Norwegian season ends in November. Harry Tangen hasn't played since September, so he'll be rusty and I wouldn't expect him to be in the first 11 too soon.
I don't know if it's down to it being easier to do the deal by it being a loan, with the option to then sign him or if it's because we are a tad cautious that it might not work out?
Traore had played quite a number of matches in the Eliteserien, but now I've looked more into he never really played the majority of the match, sometimes only playing for minutes. Tangen has played a lot more and usually for most of the match too. He even featured for Denmark in their youth teams, so all the signs are promising that he should be able to have an impact when he is up to speed!
1
I do think that loans deals can work in a positive way when it is used to see if the player can do a job for the club, especially when they have come from abroad, & the club has taken a bit of a gamble with the signing.
Notts gambled on Traorรฉ by signing him on a full contract, they did the same with Morias & Jarvis. So signing Tangen on loan with a view to offer a full time contract in the summer if he delivers, is a good move.
1
Morning all, another week is ahead of us, I hope you are all fighting fit.
I learned of another friend/former colleagues death yesterday, itโs been happening a lot just lately, either people I know dying suddenly or becoming seriously ill, I guess Iโm getting to an age where people of the same age are having health problems itโs a bit depressing really.
Anyway on a brighter note, in two weeks Iโll be in Lanzarote soaking up the sunshine. 
Howโs life treating you? Anything you want to get off your chest? Let us know.
Have a great day everyone.

Great to hear @Fan of Big Tone that you saw @Chris yesterday. I was beginning to think things had turned a little negative for him, as he hasn't been seen on Pon for a while. Perhaps if we let him know that we are all here for him, our thoughts, prayers and blessings, just reach out and let us help. No one ever needs to be alone in our community, just a message and help is at the forefront. On here or even face to face, never suffer in silence, there is always a way forward. ๐

On 22/01/2026 at 19:13, Robbie said: You Training as a facility manager, is great news as you journey through your career at work. As I found myself going from a worker to a Supervisor, then later into management, it does take up lots of time with work and study. I was fortunate that the Companies that I worked for supported me as I climbed the ladder through promotions, & I had the opportunity to gain management qualifications through work.
if you manage to stay on as a contracted employee, they give you training every year and the longer you are with them the more advanced it gets. i am quite familiar with my line managers role and his bosses duties, so i think the training is very useful because its another level but it does not mean i will be advancing any time soon. still i am grateful to be receiving it.
On 23/01/2026 at 10:19, Michael D Pie. said: Nice one @liampie as sometimes it takes guts and determination to want to advance your career as you are doing. Training can be tedious at times especially if the content is matter of fact, laws and regulations.
thank you, michael. it is a good thing to be able to have the training to move forward if that opportunity presents itself.

i noticed chris walking to his seat from the steps near the chip van but i did not get to speak to him either. i dont think he would want anyone to be concerned but it is understandable.

i think chris will know that a lot of the community cares, but i am sure if he noticed messages like this and from tony that it would make him feel well supported. negativity can be difficult, but i dont think this season has been any more or less than previous years. i just hope that he manages to start to find a way to cope with his pain because it sounds like it makes everything else a lot worse.

I tried to explain the situation I find myself in, which I have hidden behind the spoiler below. I will try to get on a bit more even if it's hardly noticable but I can't make promises. I have spent the majority of today fast asleep, again explained below. It's good to see the community holding the torch, I know it's gone quiet but there is a lot of quality from what I have seen in my fleeting visit.

A very good performance by Notts today. A clean sheet for James Belshaw & a vital win for Notts. It was a game where Notts created numerous chances & the final score of 1:0 to Notts could have easily have been four or five to nil.
So who stood out for you today for Notts? I have chosen the starting eleven for you to choose your Man of the Match for Notts today.
Those players are:
Belshaw, Macari, Platt, Bedeau, Jones, Palmer, Norburn, Tsaroula, Grant, Iorpenda, Jatta.
1
I noticed at times during the match Tsaroulla was having his hands up to receive the ball and Macari didnt look to the right, and chose an inside ball.
I get where you are coming from @liampieย regarding Nick Tsaroulla, he put n a great cross for the goal and I like the partnership with Lewis Macari. For me it's just there isn't enough of what he is good at. Taking players on quality crosses and for a wing back he gets in some great positions to shoot from, but always seems to sky his shots over the bar. There is a really good player in there if he can increase the end product.
Has anyone heard of any rumours, either players in or out? Iโm slightly out of the loop as Iโm not involved in any of the social media groups.
Seeing other teams in our league already getting a few in early doors.
Not expecting Notts to be bringing loads in- maybe 2-3, but also depends on any outgoings
1
I mean he loved his time here, I think if we were in League One, it'd be nailed on, but alas.
I think he'll get the offers from all over, Peterborough, Eredivisie, MLS, Liga Nos midtablers. (and just to add, his agents/management company is based in Netherlands).
However, if he's still out of contract say by Feb, a cheeky 18 month contract surely could be an option.
1
Unfortunately Notts were never going to compete wage wise. My money is on him going to Peterborough because he would join up with Luke Williams again.
I hope now that we are getting to the last week of the window Notts will refuse any bids for Jatta or anyone else of value to Notts.
New signing from Norway.....

I expect it helps that the pitch is artificial, although Iโm no expert.

Good morning, itโs a very cold -3.8 outside and only 15 degrees inside as the heating hasnโt kicked in yet. Weโve had another small amount of snow. Thankfully being retired Iโm still under the duvet, I feel for those folk who have to go to work, school or college. Keep warm if you can.
We had a walk yesterday on the very icy pavements but we were wearing ice grippers on our shoes which proved a godsend. I can highly recommend them.

We have completed the signing of Harrogate Town goalkeeper James Belshaw for an undisclosed fee.
A lifelong Notts fan, Belshaw signs an 18-month contract at Meadow Lane.
Director of Football Richard Montague said: โAs well as an obvious passion for the club, James brings vast experience and an impressive track record of winning promotions.
โHeโs been a very consistent performer over the course of his more than 200 EFL appearances and has been a hugely popular figure everywhere heโs played, which reflects his character and professionalism.
โThis move will obviously mean a lot to him and his family and weโre delighted to help make his dream of playing for Notts a reality.โ
Nottingham-born Belshaw grew up in Clifton and regularly attended our matches with his dad, grandad and brother โ even celebrating his sixth birthday as a mascot at Meadow Lane.
The goalkeeping skills he demonstrated as a youngster for Clifton All Whites were spotted by our academy and he spent a number of years with us before his performances for Heanor Town earned him a contract with Walsall.
An outstanding performance against Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup then led to an offer of a scholarship at North Carolinaโs Duke University, which in turn saw him drafted by MLS side Chicago Fire.
However Belshaw decided to return to the UK and build his career in non-league with Nuneaton and then Tamworth, before joining Harrogate Town and winning two promotions in three seasons as the North Yorkshire outfit rose from National League North to League Two.
4
Belshaw made 2 good saves... and reads the game well, to adjust his positioning. Solid based on Saturday's performance
1
He should have donebetter for their goal from the free kick, do Kilmarnock want a No2 to Roos ๐คฃ๐คฃ
2
i am happy and i do acknowledge that when we have seen him in goal against us, that he always does well in goal but i did feel it was a bit of a "please the fans signings" and that makes me nervous because we have had chances of signing him before. it makes me wonder why now? i feel for roos a bit, he is just prone to eccentricity. in the ideal world we would still have him competing and pushing belshaw to retain his space but i think the loan releases wages. perhaps roos is on a chunk we cant afford to have him in this situation.
it is nice to see more confident when teams attack, and that fans are fully behind belshaw. i think its a sensible signing, but i would add we should not settle and strengthen this area next season.
not to replace belshaw but so we have two capable first team keepers, with griffiths being able to gain experience.
