Notts County striker Jon Stead has claimed that the hostility being directed towards manager Jamie Fullarton is the worst he has known in his career. Magpies fans aimed chants including “you don’t know what you’re doing” and “get out of our club” towards Fullarton as his side lost 2-0 to Bristol Rovers at Meadow Lane on Saturday.

A "buzzing" Ryan Yates hailed Notts County's last-gasp 2-1 win over Colchester United on Saturday and believes the team's strength in attack and mentality was crucial in the final stages of the game to forge more chances. Shola Ameobi gave the Magpies the lead in the second half via a penalty before Ross Fitzsimons kept out a U's spot kick of their own, but the visitors struck in the 89th minute to seemingly give them a share of the points. Yates, however, rattled home a header in the

Despite a positive display from Tiernan Brooks on his league debut over the weekend, Luke Williams has indicated that Notts County are still in the market for a potential new goalkeeper. The Magpies were compelled to fill the void left by their regular number one, Sam Slocombe, after he picked up a hamstring injury during training for their trip to Hayes Lane, which could leave him on the sidelines for several weeks.

Notts County have settled a year-long row with their former academy manager just before the case was due to go to an employment tribunal, it has been reported.

Colchester United wing-back Ryan Jackson has claimed that his side "outplayed" and "outbattled" Notts County on Saturday, despite leaving Meadow Lane with nothing to show for it. Shola Ameobi's penalty had given the Magpies the lead but substitute Sanmi Odelusi looked to have salvaged a point for the U's with his 89th-minute strike. However, there was time for more drama as Ryan Yates glanced home a header to claim all three points for Notts for a 2-1 win and keep them level on points

Harry Kewell has warned his Notts County players that any lapses in effort and concentration could mean being offloaded in January.
