Kevin Nolan has hit out at a "ridiculous" festive fixture list for Notts County this season. The Magpies must travel to Morecambe on Boxing Day which is then followed by a trip to Swindon Town three days later. Notts were also handed midweek trips to Exeter City and Yeovil Town this season, causing much inconvenience for the Black and White Army. “It’s ridiculous from the EFL,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post on Tuesday. “They need to get the fixture list right. We are going t

Kevin Nolan has criticised his Notts County players following their 1-0 League Two loss at Barnet on Saturday. The Magpies succumbed to an injury-time goal by Alex Nicholls as they left the Hive Stadium without a point to show for their efforts. Notts have lost further ground on the top three with defeat to the division's bottom side and Nolan was not happy in the slightest with his charges. “It wasn’t tough, it was poor - simple as," the manager told the Nottingham Post after the

Notts County boss Harry Kewell has claimed that Kristian Dennis is "100 percent capable" of reaching double figures and most likely just needs to up his match fitness.

So far this season, we haven’t yet witnessed a settled Notts County but we have been entertained by a couple of outstanding performances. With the arrival of Izale McLeod, Notts do look much stronger up front and the loan arrival of Alan Sheehan does provide the back with much needed cover.At the recent home game against York City, I mentioned to a friend about how comfortable we looked without so many of our foreign legion players. I’m not trying to suggest that

Notts County goalkeeper Scott Loach has expressed his delight at having an extended run in the first team after former manager Ricardo Moniz described him as “too soft”. The ex-England Under-21 international was brought in by the Dutchman last summer, but made just two appearances for in between the Magpie sticks before Moniz was sacked in December. Loach has now played three consecutive games, displacing the veteran Roy Carroll, and has b

Kevin Nolan has revealed that he will continue to assess Sheffield United striker Jake Wright, depending on what the diagnosis is on a potential hand injury. The 20-year-old, who shares the same name as the seasoned defender at Bramall Lane, played in the 1-1 draw with Carlton Town, but was taken off in the second half after an awkward landing. “Mark Crossley has a good link with the Sheffield clubs so we had (Wright) over with us for the last week,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post.

Alan Hardy has thanked the Notts County fanbase for their role in the club's "revolution" over the past year and has challenged them to make Meadow Lane "the busiest it has been for 25 years". This time last year, the Magpies were in the middle of a horrid losing run but now sit in the top places of League Two and have a chance of reaching the third round of the FA Cup. In his weekly Nottingham Post column, Hardy wrote: "I would like to thank our supporters for making Notts County the

Notts County have confirmed the departure of Harry Kewell after just 14 matches in charge. The Australia legend signed a three-year contract to replace Kevin Nolan at Meadow Lane in early September. Despite a bright run early on in his tenure, performances and results have since slumped, and the Magpies sit 22nd in the table. “Results have not been good enough and performance levels are a continuing concern,” chairman Alan Hardy told the club website. “We see no reason to con

Notts County's manager, Luke Williams, has cautioned fans against expecting a repeat of the scoreline from their earlier fixture at Grosvenor Vale as they prepare to host Wealdstone in the East Midlands this coming weekend. In October, the Magpies had dominated their game in northwest London, scoring six goals away from home for the first time since February 1924. Macaulay Langstaff, Adam Chicksen (2), Matty Palmer, Aaron Nemane, and Geraldo Bajrami were among the scorers in the one-sided m

"In the first ha

Kevin Nolan has urged the Notts County players to build on their impressive home form by translating it to away fixtures as well. The Magpies are 10 points clear of the bottom two in League Two and head to Wycombe Wanderers hoping to extend that gap by securing victory over Gareth Ainsworth's side. All of Nolan's defeats so far have come on the road, but with eight games left of the season, the manager is eager to build on that aspect over the next few weeks, beginning at Adams Park on
