Notts County defender Blair Adams has criticised himself and the entire team for letting three managers down this season. The Magpies began the season with Ricardo Moniz and, despite some promising early results, the team went off the boil, resulting in the Dutchman’s sacking. Rookie Jamie Fullarton was next at the helm and, similarly to Moniz, a couple of decent results at the start of his tenure were followed by a horrendous run of form. He was next to walk before Mark Cooper st

Notts County defender Blair Adams has claimed that the turmoil behind the scenes at Meadow Lane contributed to the players' poor showing in the league this season. The Magpies, one of the favourites for promotion back to League One at the start of the campaign, were candidates for relegation out of the Football League by the last few weeks of 2015-16. Adams identified issues behind the scenes, including a succession of managers, fan unrest and a protracted sale that is yet to go throug

The Bantams will be making their way to Meadow Lane on the 14th of March, as they prepare to make a big for a return to a play-off space. However, the Yorkshire side will have other things on their minds which might benefit the Magpies. Notts County comes into the game with much fresher legs and a chance to use the game as a way to distance themselves from the drop. For both teams this tie should be vastly important to both, so it should be a good game.

Notts County have confirmed that goalkeeper Branislav Pindroch has signed a new two-year deal at Meadow Lane. The 26-year-old, who became the first Slovakian to play for the Magpies when he joined the club last summer, made four appearances last season and was third choice behind Adam Collin and Ross Fitzsimons. “I have really enjoyed my first season at the club,” he told the official website. “Learning from the likes of Mark Crossley and the manager has been an amazing experience

Bristol City find themselves in second place within League One with a game in hand of Swindon Town. The Robins will be hoping that Coventry City will win, whilst pushing on with their own campaign. Their games have been coming thick and fast due to them being in several cups. The Robins have won four of their last six league games, whilst losing to both Crewe and Preston. Their recent games come in as a draw in the F.A Cup and a win in the JPT.  

Notts County have brought in Middlesbrough defender Sam Stubbs on loan, while Branislav Pindroch and Kristian Dennis have both left Meadow Lane. Stubbs, the 20-year-old son of former Bolton, Everton and Celtic defender Alan, joined Boro from Wigan on a two-and-half-year deal in July 2018 but is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Teessiders. Dennis joined Notts for an undisclosed fee in the summer, after scoring 21 goals for relegated Chesterfield last season, but has scored ju

In recent weeks I’ve read articles calling for calm around Notts County, with Alan Smith among a few I’ve seen stressing on the need for level heads and a sense of realism in the early stages of the season. I share the sentiments of those who haven’t lost patience with the team so far this season. I think what Notts fans need to remember is that it’s still November and nothing is cemented yet. The season has much of its course to run, so belief in what Ricardo Mon

Notts County Manager on Luton Town’s Success and the Importance of Experience In an interview, Notts County manager praised Luton Town’s success, stating that it ranks with Leicester City winning the Premier League. “I think what Luton have done ranks with Leicester winning the Premier League,” he said.  He described Luton Town as an incredibly well-managed and well-run football club, with similarities to Notts County in terms of being run sensibly and with constant planning for the fu

As Notts County prepares for their first season in League Two, captain Kyle Cameron has spoken about how his team has been preparing for their first game. In a recent interview, Cameron discussed how Notts County has been working hard during training sessions to get ready for their first game. Cameron mentioned that after taking some time off after last season ended, his team got right back into training mode. "We have two or three weeks when we chill out and enjoy ourselves and then straig

Carl Dickinson has admitted that he truly feels Notts County will achieve promotion this season. The Magpies currently sit second in League Two on 42 points, level with top-placed Luton Town who boast a huge +30 goal difference. In addition, Notts have successfully overcome blips over the course of the season and remain as focused and sharp as ever going into the festive period. “I was talking to my wife the other day and we were discussing the way things are going,” Dickinson tol

New Notts County signing Carl Dickinson says he opted to join the Magpies because of the prospect of a promotion challenge and also to be close to his family. The 28-year-old defender is one of six new arrivals at Meadow Lane since John Sheridan's appointment as manager last month as they look to rebuild from their 17th-placed finish in League Two last season. "We want be part of something special here, and that is gaining promotion," Dickinson told BBC Radio Nottingham. "It's som

Carl Dickinson has revealed he's been busy practising free kicks but insists Notts County's strength in depth from set pieces is impressive. Jorge Grant, Dan Jones and Dickinson have all scored directly from set pieces this season, the latter smashing into the top corner of the Mansfield Town net from 25 yards out. “It was great to score against Mansfield and I was delighted with it because I have been champing at the bit to take one,” Dickinson told the Nottingham Post. “I’ve bee

New Notts County signing Carl Dickinson says he is happy to play in whatever defensive position is asked of him by the manager. The former Port Vale captain, one of seven new signings to have arrived at Meadow Lane this summer, has played at both centre-back and full-back throughout his career. Dickinson believes his understanding is that left-back will be his position for the new season, but is happy to slot in at centre-back if John Sheridan asks this of him. "Should the manager

Carl Dickinson has defended Notts County's style of play and is adamant that winning promotion from League Two would be great for "shutting a few people up". The Magpies have received criticism this season over how they play, which has seen plenty of moments in games where the ball is lumped up top. Dickinson, however, thinks accusations of being a long-ball side are wide of the mark and says their play is "effective" as they aim to make it five games unbeaten at Chesterfield on Sunday

Carl Dickinson has revealed that he would get so miserable during Notts County's 10-match losing run in League Two that he couldn't even speak to his family after games. The Magpies lost every single league fixture between November 12, a 4-0 defeat at Blackpool, until January 7, a 4-1 loss at Morecambe. The rot was stopped with a goalless home draw with Mansfield Town on January 14, and 10 weeks later, Notts are a different proposition entirely, on the brink of safety with a 13-point c

Carl Dickinson has claimed that Notts County could have easily scored "five or six" goals against Bristol Rovers in their FA Cup first-round meeting on Friday night. The clash at Meadow Lane began in the worst possible way for Notts, who found themselves two goals down by the quarter-hour mark. However, Ryan Yates struck a quickfire brace - assisted by Dickinson for both goals - to edge the hosts level, before Jon Stead and Jorge Grant completed the turnaround by full time. “It di

Carl Dickinson has claimed that Notts County have got back some of their mojo following impressive wins in their last two games. The Magpies endured a mixed October in terms of results and performances, but they finished the month with a 3-0 victory over Newport County. That result was followed up by a 4-2 win over Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup first round, overturning a two-goal deficit in exhilarating fashion. “Over the last few weeks I think people have seen that we have got a b

Carl Dickinson has described Notts County's 4-2 win over Bristol Rovers as proof of how far the Magpies have come in a short space of time. Friday night's FA Cup first-round encounter at Meadow Lane began in the worst possible way for Notts, who found themselves two goals down by the quarter-hour mark. However, Ryan Yates struck a quickfire brace - assisted by Dickinson for both goals - to edge the hosts level, before Jon Stead and Jorge Grant completed the turnaround by full time.

Carlisle United’s aim this season is to gain promotion back into League One, much like the Magpies, they have had to focus on rebuilding and under the helm of Keith Curle – The Cumbrian team have been making steady progress. With the flooding, which has forced the Cumbrians into playing the game at the Deepdale Stadium, they will be hoping to make the ground a home from home.   They have won three of their last six games, having drawn two and losing once. The Cumbra

Swansea City manager Carlos Carvalhal has claimed that he "will not take risks" in Saturday's FA Cup fourth-round meeting with Notts County and admitted the priority is the Premier League. The Swans sit bottom of the table but have picked up form in recent weeks, including a shock 1-0 win over Liverpool on Monday night, to give themselves a better chance of survival. Since Carvalhal’s arrival in South Wales, the Swans have tasted defeat just once in seven games, but despite the morale-

Swansea City boss Carlos Carvalhal has stressed that, whilst his focus is on Premier League survival, he will still field a strong team against Notts County in their FA Cup fourth-round replay. The Magpies travel to the Liberty Stadium to take on the Swans tonight, who have enjoyed an upturn of form in the league in recent weeks. Swansea had just 13 points to their name from 20 games when the Portuguese was named as Paul Clement’s successor; they have taken 11 from six under his stewar
