Haydn Hollis has praised Notts County manager Kevin Nolan for giving him a lot of confidence and changing the mentality in the dressing room. Since Nolan took over at Meadow Lane, alongside Alan Hardy's acquisition of the club, the Magpies have gone from League Two relegation certainties to being well in with a chance of staying up. "Personally, he has given the squad a lot of confidence; he has given me a lot of confidence," Hollis told the Nottingham Post. "He has said some good

Notts County defender Haydn Hollis has praised new manager Jamie Fullarton, his staff and his teammates for doing their homework on the training ground, which paid off in their 1-0 win over Crawley Town.

Many of the fans’ wishes came true yesterday, with the announcement of Jim Rodwell’s departure from Notts. However, what does this mean for a club like ours?

In addition, rumours have emerged of Damian Irvine’s contract not being extended. On the pitch, Notts are looking

Former Notts County boss Neil Warnock was the subject of a funny anecdote from his time at Sheffield United. The 69-year-old, who managed the Magpies from 1989 to 1993, enjoyed his longest managerial tenure at Bramall Lane, from 1999 to 2007. Warnock was no stranger to controversy during his time in South Yorkshire, picking fights with Sheffield Wednesday fans, referees and even Phil Thompson. Karren Brady, who is married to former Blades forward Paul Peschisolido, recalled a stor

Sam Austin, the midfield stalwart for Notts County, shared his thoughts on the recent disappointment of the late postponement against Bradford, expressing empathy for both players and fans affected by the cancellation. He remarked, "It was a disappointment...we was raring to go...I just want to sort of say how grateful us lads are for the fans to make that journey." Austin's versatility has been crucial this season, with him adapting to various positions on the field. Reflecting on this, he

Notts County has continued to strengthen their promotion chasing team with the signing of experienced Football League midfielder Matt Palmer. The 26-year-old had been made available for a free transfer after leaving Swindon Town last season.

Notts County are not playing in the league this weekend because they will be taking on Tamworth when they take part in the FA Cup fourth round qualification.

Former Notts County manager Ian "Charlie" McParland has given his thoughts on Kevin Nolan's dismissal at Meadow Lane as well as the concept of paying compensation for a replacement. Nolan was let go on Sunday after the Magpies fell to their fourth League Two defeat in a row at Lincoln City. Two of the three managers supposedly being headhunted by Alan Hardy were believed to be Crawley Town’s Harry Kewell and AFC Wimbledon’s Neal Ardley. “For me, there are a lot of good managers ou

I have a confession to make. I feel sorry for Forest fans. They so desperately want the Cloughie years to return; to be European Champions again. But the facts of the matter are that those days will never be repeated – so long as money falls from the Sky into the lake of professional football to make the big clubs richer, the small clubs poorer, and the gap filled by the ‘also-ran’ clubs, which currently seems to stretch from the middle of the Premiership into the

Notts County's manager, Luke Williams, said that the midweek break will be a good break for his team, because they have been fighting for the National League title. The Magpies suffered their second defeat of the season against Dagenham and Redbridge in a surprise victory over the league leaders on Saturday evening. Inih Effiong, a former Notts player, scored a late goal that sealed the triumph for the visitors. Despite the defeat at Meadow Lane, Williams' team had an impressive performance

Luke Williams has clarified the absence of two players from his Notts County team during their loss to Wrexham on Monday. Aden Baldwin and Richard Brindley did not participate in the Magpies' 3-2 defeat at The Racecourse Ground, despite featuring in the previous game against Wealdstone three days prior. During the 3-0 victory against Stuart Maynard's team, the pair played in the back three, with Brindley making his first start for Notts in nearly three months. Brindley had been battling a r

After our interview with Mr Trew, interestingly it splurged some healthy and open discussion as to regards a comment made by our chairman. “We do have 2 more targets in our sights – 1 being a midfielder who is an International and the other is a striker” The striker hinted at was Adam Coombes, a player who we featured not that long ago and is a player highly regarded by Chelsea fans. The international player, well it left room for debate but after several reports in the local media, Notts

The F.A Cup is a major opportunity lost by exiting in the first round. It's the perfect opportunity to spread a little cheer among the fan base, gather results and of course add money to the coffers. All things which Notts County could all do with in abundance. Everybody always looks forward to the trips away, whilst the possibility of gracing a top tier team at Meadow lane – but is all really lost? I don't believe it is.   Notts c

Speculation has emerged that former Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Reading manager Steve Coppell is in line to become Jamie Fullarton’s assistant at Notts County. The 60-year-old was at the Magpies’ last home game against Leyton Orient, while Notts chief executive Julian Winter revealed Fullarton is "in dialogue" with somebody over the position. Asked directly if the person he is speaking to about the No.2 role is Coppell, Fullarton a

On loan Striker Chris Iwelumo is making his desire known about wanting to join Notts County on a permanent basis. He's spent the majority of his career playing above the 3rd tier of English football and would certainly add depth to our team, with his previous time at Colchester United being a prime example of what he brings to any team. Despite finding it hard to establish himself in Gianfranco Zola's starting eleven, Iwelumo has been received fairly well by our supporters and thi

New Notts County striker Izale McLeod has made an immediate mark at Meadow Lane since his arrival a month ago, nabbing two goals in three league games plus another in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy to give the Notts faithful a hint of hope for the season ahead. Prior to his arrival in the East Midlands, however, the 30-year-old was involved in a long and protracted transfer saga with former club Crawley Town – who the Magpies face tonight. A
