John Sheridan says he "will not hide" from any criticism of his management as Notts County sit close to League Two's bottom two. The Magpies have lost six league games on the bounce and are just one point above the fourth tier's relegation zone ahead of hosting Doncaster Rovers on Boxing Day.

Alan Hardy has declared himself delighted with Notts County's transfer business in the summer window and feels there was no need to add to it on deadline day. The Magpies have recruited 11 players on a permanent basis over the summer, as well as two loanees, all prior to 31 August. Most of them have played a role in the opening-month haul of two wins and a draw from their first four League Two games. There was talk of a striker playing for a Championship club having trained with N

Dan Jones has claimed that Notts County's players feel they can beat anybody at Meadow Lane and that recent adverse results have only made the squad stronger. The Magpies go into Saturday's home game against Newport County second in the table and just one point behind leaders Luton Town. However, Notts' form has dipped over the last month, with just one win in their last six games in all competitions, but Jones is eager for the team to put recent results behind them. "The run we w

Liam Noble has stressed that his "head is in the right place now" as he prepares to begin his second spell at Notts County. The midfielder was known as somewhat of a loose cannon in his first spell at Meadow Lane due to his temper and tendency to accumulate cards. Noble then left for Forest Green Rovers in 2016 helping them reach the Football League, before leaving the club earlier this year and joining the Magpies again. Now that the transfer window is open again, Noble has been

Matt Tootle has urged Notts County to have "fire in the belly and ice in the mind" when they face Mansfield Town on Saturday. The two Nottinghamshire teams are high up in the League Two table and will lock horns at Meadow Lane for points and bragging rights. “When I was younger it always stuck with me that you should have fire in your belly and ice in your mind,” Tootle told the Nottingham Post. “I’ve always stuck by that and no matter what the atmosphere is in the stands, you hav

John Sheridan is expected to be appointed as Notts County's new manager sooner rather than later after reports emerged of a compensation deal being agreed between the Magpies and Oldham Athletic, his current club. The 51-year-old was in charge of two teams during the 2015-16 season, guiding League Two Newport County out of relegation trouble before joining the League One Latics, who were also struggling at the time, and winning nine of his 22 games in charge. Oldham want to retain Sher

New Worcester City joint-manager Lee Hughes has claimed that Notts County owner Alan Hardy has agreed to a pre-season friendly encounter between the two clubs.

The 40-year-old was appointed at the Victoria Ground earlier this month to work alongside John Snape at the seventh-tier club. He told Worcester News: “I was on a question and answer at Notts

Mansfield Town boss David Flitcroft has described Notts County as "quite an intimidating place" as he gears up for his first Nottinghamshire derby. The 44-year-old has only been in charge of the Stags since the start of March, leaving Swindon Town to take over from Steve Evans in the Field Mill dugout. As derbies between the two go, Saturday's clash at Meadow Lane is arguably one of the most significant in recent years, with both sides in the thick of the League Two promotion race.

Notts County defender Rod McDonald has spoken about his frustration at the start of his time with the Magpies following his summer move from Harrogate Town. The experienced 32-year-old centre-back joined on a two-year deal but is yet to make a league appearance due to an injury that side-lined him for several weeks.

Kevin Nolan has expressed his delight with Notts County's performance in their 3-0 win over ten-man Newport County and believes that the scoreline could have been even more flattering for the Magpies. Jorge Grant scored a brace for Notts in Saturday's League Two encounter at Meadow Lane either side of Shola Ameobi's strike and only the woodwork denied the Nottingham Forest loanee a hat-trick from a free kick. “I was delighted with the performance and we were like our old selves again,”

Brentford manager Dean Smith has described the FA Cup third-round tie against Notts County as a "potential banana skin" and has urged caution from his players. The Bees, currently 11th in the Championship table, go into Saturday's game at Griffin Park against the high-flying Magpies on the back of a 3-0 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers. “Notts County will be a potential banana skin for us,” Smith told the official Brentford site. “They will be very tough.
