Notts County boss John Sheridan has praised striker Jon Stead, claiming he would be playing higher than League Two if he were younger. The 33-year-old is the joint leading scorer in the fourth tier with nine goals after bagging a brace in the Magpies' 2-0 win at Exeter City on Tuesday night. "The thing I like about him is that even if he is playing poorly, he believes he is going to score," said Sheridan. "That's a good a sign in a player and in the form he is in at the moment he

Notts County have sacked manager Jamie Fullarton after just 70 days as manager at Meadow Lane.

Kevin Nolan has described Notts County's performance in their 1-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers as "absolutely fantastic", but is not getting carried away with regards to the issue of League Two safety. The Magpies are now 13 points clear of the division's bottom two after Shola Ameobi netted the winner in Saturday's victory at Adams Park.

Jorge Grant has described his last-gasp winning goal in the 3-2 FA Cup win over Oxford City as "one of the best feelings" he has experienced in football.

The last week has proved to be a disappointing one for the young lads of the youth team, firstly they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Peterborough 2-0 with a lackluster performance, then just as they thought they could put that performance behind them with a quick return in the league last Saturday against Mansfield Town the game was called off.   FA Cup Report Peterborough 2 - 0 Notts County &#

Kevin Nolan has backed his Notts County players to put the 3-1 defeat at Mansfield Town behind them and "prove people wrong again".

Notts County boss Luke Williams is relentlessly pursuing perfection, having amassed 100 points and 106 goals this season. He was pleased with Friday's 3-0 win over Wealdstone at Meadow Lane, but remained critical of his side's first-half display, despite Sam Austin's sublime finish on eight minutes putting his team in front at the break.
