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 nodded in midway through the first half to put Notts ahead, but Newport levelled with just six minutes to play through Scott Boden. Just when it s

Game number 20 for the Magpies and what a roller coaster ride for the Notts faithful. Two goals down in 10 minutes, level just before half time, in front on 71 minutes, concede an equaliser in the 83rd minute but grab a 96th-minute winner thanks to Liam Noble. Notts move up to 14th, 5 points off a play-off place, with a game in hand over most teams, and with a 16 point safety margin from relegation. Saturday’s results in League Two:

Notts County defender Thierry Audel has expressed his eagerness to put the result at Cambridge United behind him and move forward, adding that he and his teammates are more comfortable than they were following their two-week break.

Ricardo Moniz still doesn't know how long it will be before Stanley Aborah will be available for selection, The midfielder limped off and was replaced during Notts 4-2 victory against Barnet.

Notts County manager Ricardo Moniz has urged his team to train like ‘every day is their last’ in a bid to improve their form away from home in League Two. The Magpies’ record at Meadow Lane is impressive enough, with six wins and a draw out of 10 games, but on the road it’s a completely different story, with just one win out of nine. Moniz told local media on Thursday: "We didn't win too many home games last season, but this season we have tried to excite the crowd."

Jordan Richards has returned to Notts as his successful three month loan spell with Boston United has come to an end. Loan rules prevented an extension to the original loan deal but he will be eligible to resume in January, which is what he would like if Ricardo Moniz has no plans for him at Notts. Jordan believes his own interests would be best served by returning to Boston in the new year. Referring to Boston United Jordan said "I'd love to come back, particularly if I'm not goi

Newport County's disastrous start to the season is only just starting to see a new silver lining, with four draws and two wins under their belts within their last six league games – It’s not so easy to dismiss this struggling League Two team.

The 'Top of the Table' young Magpies travelled to Lincoln this morning to take on a Lincoln City side who were 'breathing down their necks' being only a single point behind them in the table. The game was played at Lincoln United's Ashby Avenue ground in a strong wind with an uneven playing surface. Notts were without their usual two wide players through injury and illness and this affected their attacking play.  As always, they battled hard, but they struggled to get the

Adam Campbell has claimed that just one away victory could change Notts County’s poor form on the road. The Magpies succumbed to their fifth away defeat last Saturday when they were beaten 3-1 by Shaun Derry's Cambridge United – leaving them with a record of just one league win away from Meadow Lane. Campbell said: "I can't put my finger on it at all. It's the million dollar question isn't? We are so good at home, yet away we are strugglin

Well we’re just over a third of the way into the season, and what looked to be a season full of promise most certainly has not lived up to expectations thus far. We find ourselves lying 16th in the table following a series of poor displays interspersed with the off half-decent performance, which seems to suggest a rate of progress going along at one step forward followed by two steps back. And given the tools we have at our disposal and what we’re up against, that

This season can only be described as starting slowly, with only a single league win in the first five games, leaving the young ‘Pies third from bottom of their division. Then followed an amazing turnaround.  With a few positional tweaks by their coach Dan Leivers the team went on a fantastic run winning nine of their next ten games in all competitions, including six consecutive league wins, which has taken them to the top of their league.

Matt spoke to BBC Radio Nottingham’s Match Talk on Thursday about how he picked a role at Meadow Lane over one in the top tier of Engli

Adam Campbell was dropped after the game against Exeter City in October and believes that this motivated him to prove a point to Ricardo Moniz. Since returning to the Notts 1st team, he has scored in the game against Cambridge United last Saturday and provided 2 assists in the game prior to that against Barnet. Adam says "My job is to score goals and create them and I wasn't doing that, so he had every right to make that decision" adding "I wasn't going to argue a

The Football League’s Stand Up & Be Counted campaign saw fans of English clubs below the Premier League vote in droves to try and get their team to the top of the rankings – and be in with a chance of winning a trip to England to watch their club in action. Much to the surprise of clubs unaware of our amazing support all across the world, Notts steadily climbed up the table and entrenched themselves at the summit – at no point did they look like relinquishing top spot.

Ricardo Moniz has claimed that he is upset with Notts County’s inconsistency, despite appearing calm on the surface. The Magpies were beaten 3-1 by Cambridge United on Saturday, as Shaun Derry got revenge against his former employee – as player and manager – and boyhood club. Just four days earlier, Notts had secured an impressive 4-2 win over Barnet at Meadow Lane. The club’s home form is solid enough, with six wins and a draw out of 10 games, but it is a complete
