Haydn Hollis has claimed that going back to basics has helped him rediscover his form for Notts County. The 24-year-old came under criticism numerous times over the last year but he was a key player for the Magpies against Portsmouth and Luton Town. Asked about his performances over the last two games, Hollis told the Nottingham Post: "I think I've been good, but that's expected of me. "You've just got to head, kick it and just do the basics right. "That's what I've done - I'

Kevin Nolan has claimed that while he has fond memories of being promoted at an away game, he does not want Portsmouth to be enjoying a promotion party of their own at Meadow Lane on Monday. Pompey face Notts County in Nottingham in two days' time and, should they beat the Magpies and Luton Town drop points, they will be promoted to League One. Nolan enjoyed a promotion party at Plymouth Argyle seven years ago as part of the Newcastle United squad, and remembers how the Pilgrims allowe

Grimsby Town defender Ben Davies has talked about his time at Notts County under the Munto regime as the Mariners travel to Meadow Lane for a League Two meeting. The midfielder-turned-defender spent a year-and-a-half at NG2, during which he helped the Magpies to the fourth-tier title as a culmination of a rollercoaster period under the "ownership" of the shady entity. “I’ve got nothing but happy memories there,” Davies told the Grimsby Telegraph. “Obviously going there with Sven a

New Notts County striker Kristian Dennis has expressed his desire to be at the right end of the League Two table this season after back-to-back relegations with Chesterfield. The 28-year-old joined the Magpies last week in a deal thought to have cost the club £150,000. Dennis scored 21 goals last season but could not prevent the Spireites from dropping out of the Football League and is eager to make up for it by winning promotion with Notts. “I came back into the league with Chest

Connell Rawlinson has expressed his delight at signing a new two-year deal with Notts County and says he is ready to challenge for the League Two title next season. The 31-year-old defender, who joined the Magpies in 2019, was a key part of the side that won promotion from the National League via the play-offs last month. Rawlinson said he never had any doubts about staying at Meadow Lane and that he feels a strong connection with the club and its fans. "I'm over the moon," he tol

The title of this article is a bit of an understatement when it comes to Notts County v Walsall. The clubs have been playing eachother fairly regularly for 119 years now and this Saturday's match will be the 61st competitive meeting between the two. Notts just edge it on the history - winning 25 of the previous 60 meetings compared to Walsall's wins. There have also been 15 draws. Notts have scored 103 goals against Walsall, while they've scored 81 against us. The first meeting between th

If you are not travelling to Wycombe on Tuesday, why not pop down to Meadow Lane to see the Notts County Youth team in action in the 3rd round of the FA Youth Cup against Luton Town. It is the first time in a number of years that the Notts youngsters have reached this stage of the competition so please get along to support them if you can - kick-off is 7pm.   Luton are a very impressive side having gone the first 21 games of their se

Notts County captain Michael O'Connor has claimed that his side are well placed to enjoy a tilt at promotion this season. The Magpies currently sit sixth in the table after 15 games played in League Two and just two defeats in their last eight. "Our aim at the start of the year was to get promotion," the midfielder told the Nottingham Post. "To be sitting sixth at the start of November is good. We'd like to be a bit higher, because we've dropped points when we thought we could hav

Matt Tootle is looking forward to Monday's "massive" League Two home game against Portsmouth, claiming that the anticipated record crowd and buzzing atmosphere is a sign of "how far the club's come and where it's going". The Magpies will be welcoming to Meadow Lane a Pompey side which could seal promotion out of the fourth tier, where they have been languishing since 2013 following catastrophic financial hardship which is now behind them. Notts are also smiling after their own off-the-

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has praised Jorge Grant after the loanee came off the bench to bag a brace in a 2-0 win against Chesterfield on Saturday. The 22-year-old nodded home the opener on the hour in the League Two encounter at Meadow Lane before curling an audacious free kick into the back of the net in injury time. The performance and result are far removed from the opening-day mess in which the Magpies lost 3-0 at Coventry City and builds on the good display at Scunthorpe Unit

Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County are still a team in transition despite reclaiming top spot in League Two with a 2-1 win over Barnet on Saturday. Goals from Shola Ameobi and Ryan Yates gave the Magpies a healthy advantage, although it proved a nervy ending to the game after Simeon Akinola's late strike at Meadow Lane. "You have to ride your luck a bit," Nolan told the official website. "You only have to look at the results from around the league this afternoon to see how diffi

Dan Jones has signed a new two-year contract at Notts County. The 31-year-old left-back, who joined on a free transfer a year ago scored four goals in 33 games last season, helping the Magpies reach the playoffs. Jones was one of several players to be offered a new deal by boss Kevin Nolan when the 2018 retained list was announced last month. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at Meadow Lane so far and there was only one place I wanted to be next season,” Jones told the official clu

Notts County goalkeeper Sam Slocombe has signed a new two-year contract with the club, citing the "overall package" on offer at Meadow Lane as the perfect fit for him at this stage of his career. The 34-year-old, who first joined the Magpies ahead of the 2019-20 season, is ready for the latest chapter in his career and believes that strong competition in all areas of the squad is key to success. "It may be possible to operate in League Two with one senior, experienced goalkeeper, but I

Notts County have bolstered their attacking options with the season-long loan signing of Jevani Brown from Bristol Rovers. The 29-year-old forward, who has spent the last two years in League One, arrives with a proven track record of success in the English Football League. Brown first caught the eye with Exeter City, where he played a pivotal role in their promotion from League Two. Across two seasons with the Grecians, he tallied an impressive 21 goals and 21 assists, showcasing his a

There have been some surprising victories for sides in League One within this past weekends fixtures, Crawley, Colchester and Scunthorpe are all within this bracket. Whilst sides like Rochdale, Crewe, Fleetwood and Sheffield United have all triumphed in close and difficult games within their own rights. The most surprising result would be at the Bescot Stadium where Walsall lost to Scunthorpe, the West Midlands side will be stunned after this defeat.  

Notts are back on the road with three upcoming away games, the first port of call will be against Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday 15th December. The hosts will most likely make the game hard for our lads, with Adams Park set to stage two teams hoping to make their push towards the play-offs. Wycombe Wanderers have won two of their last six league games, drawing three and losing only the once. The Match Officials for the game will be referee Nicholas Kinseley, assistants Marc

Notts County boss John Sheridan has warned his players not to underestimate Boreham Wood when the two sides meet in the FA Cup on Sunday. The Hertfordshire side are currently pushing for a playoff spot in the National League, one division beneath League Two. Despite the Magpies being tipped as favourites, they were humiliated last year at non-league Salford City, and Sheridan is well aware of this. "They are a strong outfit, going well in the league. They've got pace in the team,"

Kevin Nolan has admitted that Notts County were not their "usual selves" in their goalless draw with Grimsby Town. The Magpies failed to break down a defensively stout Mariners side, failing to muster a chance on goal in Saturday's stalemate at Meadow Lane. "It was a fair result. We weren't our usual selves today," Nolan told the official Notts site. "It's just one of those days. You're going to have them but we've not had too many here in the past year. We huffed and puffed a lot

Alan Hardy has paid tribute to the Notts County fans for getting behind the team even during the leaner spells and insists the fanbase has a huge role to play in the latter stages of the season. The Magpies spent a good chunk of the season in the automatic promotion places, even holding top spot for a number of weeks. However, County's form has tailed off in 2018, with four defeats, two draws and just three wins from the nine league games this calendar year. This has sent Notts -

Notts County assistant manager Richard Thomas has described Dan Jones's new contract as "great business for the club". The left-back put pen to paper on a two-year deal on Wednesday, joining goalkeeper Ross Fitzsimons and defender Pierce Bird in committing his future to the club. Jones was impressive towards the end of last season and ended the campaign with four goals, and Thomas praised him for his attitude and skills. “We’re delighted DJ will be with us again next year," he tol

Macaulay Langstaff has had a season to remember. The forward helped lead the Magpies back to the Football League with a record-breaking 42 goals, none of which came from the penalty spot. This remarkable achievement has earned him the Our Game Player of the Year award, which he described as ‘the icing on the cake’ of an already memorable season. Langstaff received his latest accolade at the Non-League Paper’s National Game Awards, in association with Isuzu. This came just 10 days after Coun
