Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has admitted he is hoping to make further additions to his squad this week. The former Nottingham Forest Under-21 coach signed defender Andrew Boyce last week on a loan deal until the end of the season from Scunthorpe United. With Notts without a win in six, Fullarton says he is looking for players who can strengthen a front line that has gone four games without a goal. "We are

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has pledged to work on getting his side to become more dangerous in front of goal after failing to score for four games in a row at Meadow Lane. On Saturday, Bristol Rovers sealed a 2-0 win as the Magpies fell behind to a Cristian Montano goal before seeing Lee Brown double the lead after half-time. The current Notts boss said: "We were always looking to get back into the game and for us to push on. We

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has described the first 20 minutes of his side’s game at York City as the best under his tenure, and left it late to make changes because he was confident his starting XI could force an equaliser. The Magpies fell two goals behind at Bootham Crescent in the first half as Michael Coulson and Bradley Fewster struck for the hosts, and although Lubo Satka’s second-half own goal kept the visitors in the game, 2-1 was the final score

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has claimed he will not appoint an assistant manager for the sake of it, with no updates on an appointment thus far. The Magpies boss has been without a right-hand man since his arrival last month after the club sacked Ricardo Moniz and assistants Dave Kevan and Dean Yates.  Current under-21s coach Richard Dryden has been assisting Fullarton both in training and on matchdays. Th

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has confirmed that he will be giving Blair Adams a chance to impress in the Magpies squad. The defender has been on loan at rivals Mansfield Town for the last three months with his performances prompting Stags boss Adam Murray to offer the defender a permanent deal. Fullarton played down reports of Adams leaving for good, saying: "Blair's loan expired this week and having only just walked through the do

Notts County boss Jamie Fullarton says he understands the pain Will Hayhurst is going through as he too has suffered knee ligament injuries. The former Preston North End winger, 21, is undergoing rehabilitation for his own cruciate problem, and is not expected to be fit until the summer. He has also not kicked a ball competitively for Notts since April 2015 and is out of contract at Meadow Lane at the end of the season. &

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has called on his charges to produce a more positive result in his second home game, against Leyton Orient, than they managed in the first. The Magpies boss has been at the helm for five matches since taking over from Ricardo Moniz, but only one has been at Meadow Lane - a 2-0 defeat to play-off chasing AFC Wimbledon.  He said: “We've only had one home game and it was against a team that's pushing for t

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has blamed fine margins for his side’s League Two defeat against AFC Wimbledon. The Dons recorded a 2-0 victory at Meadow Lane to extend their unbeaten run to six games, with striker Tom Elliott and winger Andy Barcham bagging the goals to give the new Magpies boss a loss in his first home game. Fullarton said: "Major incidents in games change how they pan out. They scored a fantastic goal after about t

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has empathised with fans who booed him and his team in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat against Leyton Orient at Meadow Lane. The Scot has presided over three wins in his first six games, but both home games, against the O’s and AFC Wimbledon, saw the Magpies walk back into the tunnel with no points. A minority of supporters chanted against Fullarton late on against Orient, and Notts were booed off come full time.

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has claimed that his ambition at the club is “to produce a football team which the fans are proud of”, but that it will take time to achieve this. The 41-year-old Scot began life at the Magpies helm in promising fashion with a solid 1-0 win at Crawley, but this was followed up by a lacklustre 2-0 defeat against AFC Wimbledon at Meadow Lane. Fullarton told reporters on Thursday: "My aim, and it is my sol

Notts County manager has called on his players to play even better than they did against Luton Town and grab a first home win under his tenure against Hartlepool United. The Scot has two wins in his first three games in charge, but his one game at Meadow Lane ended badly as AFC Wimbledon cruised to a 2-0 win. Fullarton said: "I want to see improvement. Not only do I want an improvement on the previous home performance, and result, but an i

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has admitted that the club reluctantly agreed to let Jimmy Spencer leave after he expressed a desire to find first-team football. The striker left Meadow Lane last Friday and subsequently signed a six-month deal with Shaun Derry's Cambridge United, for whom he scored on his debut at Leyton Orient on Saturday. The forward had struggled to regain his first-team place after a serious knee injury in the sum

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has claimed that his players are growing in confidence with each passing game. Since replacing Ricardo Moniz at the helm, the Scot has overseen a return of nine points from a possible 15 in League Two. On Tuesday night, the Magpies survived a fightback from Hartlepool United to secure a 3-2 win. They had been two goals up at Victoria Park at half time, before being pegged back by their hosts, only for J

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has praised his players for sticking to his game plan as he began his managerial reign with a win at Crawley Town. Filip Valencic's impressive second-half volley from just outside the box proved the difference between the two sides in Saturday’s League Two clash at the Checkatrade.com Stadium.  The result saw the Magpies earn only their second away win of the season, the first one coming all the way bac

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has praised all of his players for the character they showed in pegging Accrington Stanley back to within a goal in Tuesday’s 3-2 defeat at the Crown Ground. Three down by the 51-minute mark, the Magpies struck twice through substitutes Ronan Murray and Adam Campbell as they mounted real hopes of getting a point in Lancashire. Fullarton said: "You can't just isolate the two players that came on. I think

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has emphasised the importance of preparation ahead of a game, both on his part and that of the players. The new boss, who took over from Ricardo Moniz last week, has reportedly been arriving at Meadow Lane at 6am every day since his appointment in a bid to do his research and tailor the training to the opposition – in this weekend’s case, Crawley Town away. Fullarton told reporters on Thursday: "We don'

Out-of-favour Notts County midfielder Stanley Aborah has not been told to find another club, according to manager Jamie Fullarton. The 28-year-old  has not played since the Scot took charge at Meadow Lane last month, despite being a regular starter under former manager Ricardo Moniz. Aborah was rewarded with a new contract until the summer of 2017 on Christmas Day thanks to a series of performances that made him a fan favourite, but has no

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has admitted that his side "weren't good enough" in their 1-0 defeat at Yeovil Town on Saturday. Former Magpies striker Francois Zoko struck early in the second half to condemn his old club to a fifth defeat in five games, while the Notts front line failed to score for a fourth consecutive game. "We weren't good enough in both boxes as a group as opposed to individuals," said Fullarton. "When opportunit

Notts County trialist Jason Banton has received a glowing report from Nottingham Post reporter Leigh Curtis. The 23-year-old winger, formerly of Crystal Palace, Plymouth Argyle and Wycombe Wanderers, left Adams Park last month by mutual consent. He is not by any means an unknown quantity to Magpies boss Jamie Fullarton, who worked with Banton at Selhurst Park.  He also shared a dressing room with Guy Branston at Ho

Former Wycombe Wanderers winger Jason Banton has signed with Notts County until the end of the season. The 23-year-old had a successful trial with the Magpies this week and his signing was confirmed ahead of kickoff at York City on Saturday. Banton played under Fullarton in Crystal Palace's Under-21s earlier in his career, and says he thrived under the Scot for the Eagles. "We worked really well together, so when h

Jess Clarke, one of the longest-serving players in the Notts County Ladies team, has completed a move to Liverpool Ladies for an undisclosed fee. The 27-year-old, a striker who came through the youth setup at Leeds Carnegie Ladies, joined the Lady Pies in 2010, spending the last six seasons at the club. Clarke was part of the 2015 Notts squad that reached two major cup finals, including the Women’s FA Cup Final, the first to be held at Wembley Stadium. On the departure, Notts mana
