It's a busy time for our teams this coming weekend with games being played on Saturday and Monday so I'm doing a double preview for the last two games of 2015. First up is Saturday 26 December. There are several standout, important, games on Saturday with the outcome vital to the hopes of teams at both ends of the League table. Plymouth should beat 23rd placed Yeovil and remain top, but 2nd placed Northampton will

Notts County captain Roy Carroll has called on his teammates to stop stressing on the objective of reaching the playoffs, insisting that he and his fellow players need to “take each game as it comes”. The Magpies missed out on the change of closing the gap to the top seven in League Two in the last week by drawing at Wycombe Wanderers and losing heavily to Carlisle United. First-choice goalkeeper Carroll told local media: “We are not think

Notts County defender Wes Atkinson has been recalled to Meadow Lane following a loan spell at Eastleigh FC. The 21-year-old former West Bromwich Albion right-back, signed by the Magpies in the summer, was sent out on 20 November to cover for a spate of defensive injuries at the Hampshire club. He has now returned to Nottingham following three appearances for the National League side, but Spitfires manager Chris Todd has expressed his desir

Ricardo Moniz has hit out at Notts County's "childish mistakes" in their 3-0 defeat to Carlisle United. The League Two clash on Saturday had to be played at Preston North End’s Deepdale stadium after Carlisle's Brunton Park was hit by Storm Desmond over a fortnight ago. Despite this, former Magpies manager Keith Curle’s current side were two goals up by half time thanks to a Danny Grainger penalty and a strike by Jabo Ibehre, before the la

No Christmas cheer for Notts in game number 21, losing very disappointingly 0 – 3 to Carlisle at neutral Deepdale. Notts slip to 15th, 7 points off a play-off place but with the same 16-point safety margin from a relegation place.

Notts County were thrashed 3-0 by a Carlisle United side playing at Preston North End's stadium in front of 3,067 Cumbrians fans who made the 85-mile trip. A Danny Grainger penalty and two Jabo Ibehre goals were enough for victory at Deepdale, which staged the game after flood damage at Brunton Park. Was the result fair? The score line is fair, Notts didn’t do enough to warrant anything from the game and Carlisle looked like scorin

Carlisle United’s aim this season is to gain promotion back into League One, much like the Magpies, they have had to focus on rebuilding and under the helm of Keith Curle – The Cumbrian team have been making steady progress. With the flooding, which has forced the Cumbrians into playing the game at the Deepdale Stadium, they will be hoping to make the ground a home from home.   They have won three of their last six games, having drawn two and losing once. The Cumbra

Some great news from the Jimmy & Jack Memorial Fund, as they have confirmed that they have reached £101,000 – leaving just a further £1,000 to raise. Thanks to a generous donation of £1,500 from the former players’ association, in addition to the fans’ ongoing support in the drive to raise funds, we are on the home straight in terms of meeting the overall total and begin proceedings to bring Jimmy Sirrel and Jack Wheeler home. It is hoped that we can achieve this by ca

Notts will be preparing for a trip to Preston North End's stadium 'Deepdale', as Carlisle will also due to flooding up in Cumbria on Saturday 19th December. The 'home' advantage will probably go out of the window for this reason, however it doesn't mean that the Magpies will be favourites based on this alone. Notts will be hoping a return to the Deepdale, may see them edge closer to the play-off places. Carlisle United have only lost one game within their last six league fixtures,

Notts County manager Ricardo Moniz has criticised Liam Noble after the midfielder was sent off in his side’s 2-2 draw at Wycombe Wanderers. The 24-year-old earned his second red card of this campaign at Adams Park with County 1-0 up through Jon Stead's penalty at the time, receiving his marching orders after a clash with Luke O'Nien off the ball. Michael Harriman levelled for Wycombe before half-time, and though Adam Campbell restored the visitors' lead shortly after the r

Alan Sheehan has expressed his happiness and pride in playing the 300th professional game of his career in a Notts County shirt. The defender, on loan from Bradford City, reached the landmark in Tuesday night's 2-2 draw at Wycombe Wanderers, where he put in another good shift on the way to a crucial and morale-boosting away point. In a career spanning 13 years, more than half of Sheehan's games have been for the Magpies over two different

Here we are again with PON taking another look at the weekend fixtures in the latest of our League Two previews. For me the stand-out fixture this week is top of the table Northampton at home to 4th place Portsmouth, with both teams hoping to strengthen their promotion hopes. Another important game is 20th placed Hartlepool v 3rd placed Plymouth, with the home side hoping to recover from last weeks 4-0 thrashing away at Portsmouth and build on their midweek success in The

After taking the lead twice against Wycombe Wanderers, Notts were pegged back twice following the departure of Liam Noble after allegedly using an elbow on a Wycombe player. Adam Campbell put the Magpies ahead inside eight minutes, after Aaron Pierre tripped the pacey player inside the opposition penalty box. Referee Nicholas Kinseley instantly pointed to the penalty spot, which Notts striker Jon Stead comfortably converted. As the game started to get going for the Magpies

Notts lead Wycombe twice, yet stumbled after going down to 10 men. Notts took an early lead though Jon Stead's timely placed penalty after Adam Campbell was fouled by Aaron Pierre. The Magpies midfielder Liam Noble then saw red (his a second red card of the season) after clashing with Luke O'Nien and, soon after, Michael Harriman headed the home side level. Adam Campbell then capitalized from a low cross from Rob Milsom but Aaron Amadi-Holloway's looping header meant Notts

Notts County's Youth team bowed out of the FA Youth Cup to an excellent Luton Town team who have now gone 22 games unbeaten this season. Notts were without Jake Payling and Yohan Rutty-Smith their powerful, left sided wide player through injury but otherwise they were at full strength. Right from the off Luton dominated the game playing some neat passing and creating a number of shooting chances. After only fifteen minutes Notts fell behind when a pacy Luton forwar

Wycombe Wanderers will be hoping to mount a successful push towards the play-offs and after a disappointing outcome last year – The Chairboys will be hoping to do one better within the 2015/16 season, after losing to Southend United in last year’s play-off final. Gareth Ainsworth’s side hasn’t been doing that badly this season, however they have hit a dry patch as of lately. They have won only two of their last six games, having drawn three and lost once. The Buckinghamshi

This past Saturday Pride of Nottingham took time to speak with three fans after the goal thriller between Notts County and Newport County, where spectators were treated to a 7 goalfest. Newport County struck twice in the opening 10 minutes through Mark Byrne and Alex Rodman, but the Magpies were level by the break through Liam Noble and Izale McLeod. Just when it seemed like it would be honours even at the Lane, Noble popped up six minutes into injury time to clinch a thri

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

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 dismayed and delighted in equal measure on Saturday by beating Newport County 4-3 in their League Two clash at Meadow Lane. The Exiles struck twice in the opening 10 minutes through  Mark Byrne and Alex Rodman, but the Magpies were level by the break through Liam Noble and Izale McLeod. The former Crawley man powered a diving header into the opposition net in midway through the first half to put Notts ahead, but Newport levell

Ricardo Moniz has praised Notts County for not giving up against Newport and ‘deservedly’ winning the game 4-3, even though their ‘two-faced’ aspect needs to be sorted out. The Exiles struck twice in the opening 10 minutes through Mark Byrne and Alex Rodman, but the Magpies were level by the break through Liam Noble and Izale McLeod. The former Crawley man nodded in midway through the first half to put Notts ahead, but Newport levelled wit
