Kevin Nolan understands how the Notts County players are feeling at present as the club battles relegation from the English Football League. The Magpies have not won since their 2-0 victory over non-league Boreham Wood in the FA Cup on November 15, while their last league win was a full three months ago, against Portsmouth. Since then Notts have slipped from the playoff positions to the bottom two, losing 11 out of 12 league games, including 10 on the trot prior to the goalless draw ag

Danny Cowley has claimed that Lincoln City were hard done by due to "three major decisions" going against them in the 2-2 draw with Notts County. The Magpies had taken the lead through Jon Stead’s header in the 35th minute, which led to Cowley being sent to the stands for protesting a foul in the build-up. Lee Frecklington and Matt Green then scored to put the Imps ahead, only for Jorge Grant to salvage a point midway through the second half. “Overall, I’m disappointed [to draw],”

Kevin Nolan has stressed that he has "no qualms" about Notts County fans booing at the end of their 3-1 defeat at Chesterfield given the abject performance by the visitors. The Magpies were convincingly beaten at the Proact Stadium on Sunday as Sid Nelson, Zavon Hines and a Kristian Dennis penalty made Dan Jones's free kick a scant consolation. More than 1,400 Notts fans were at the game and a sizeable amount booed their team's shoddy display, and Nolan says they were entitled to voice

Kevin Nolan has suggested that he will make changes to his Notts County starting XI ahead of Tuesday night's EFL Trophy trip to Lincoln City. The Magpies currently sit third in Group G on three points but a win would see them edge into the top two and through to the next round.

Warnock was no stranger to controversy during his time in South Yorkshire, picking fights with Sheffield Wednesday fans, referees and even Phil Thompson.

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.
