Tonight Notts will meet the very top of League Two, as we prepare to take on Leyton Orient. They've started the 2013/14 season very well, the spirit with their play is positive and they've enjoyed successive victories over some very decent sides. Leyton Orient are undefeated, impressively they've scored a total of 16 goals so far in only 6 games and have only seen 4 goals put past them. Ex Notts County manager Russell Slade will no doubt be fairly confident ahead of our clash, so it's dow

Doncaster Rovers could include new signing Abdul Razak in their squad against Notts County, pending international clearance. The former Manchester City man has completed his move from Greek club OFI Crete, signing a deal at the Keepmoat until the end of the season. Doncaster have no new problems following the 1-0 home victory over South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley. Midfielder Dean Furman is still away with South Africa at the African Cup of

Notts County first played Oldham Athletic all the way back in 1910. During the Division One fixture, played at the Oldham Athletic Ground (now known as Boundary Park), the home side ran out 2-1 winners against the Magpies. The Latics hold the upper edge against Notts in the head-to-head, having won 36 games to our 34, while 21 draws have taken place - making a total of 91 games. Of those draws, arguably one of the most important in recent years was a mere

The first fixtures against the "new Stanley" were in August and December 1958, when both sides played in Division Three. The Magpies drew 1-1 in the first match, before losing 3-0 in the second. A hiatus of 48 years followed before the teams met again in the fourth tier, now League Two, on 9 September 2006. The result w

Notts County have met Colchester United a modest 38 times over the years, all league encounters except for one Sherpa Vans Trophy tie in 1988. The U's hold the marginal upper edge, having won 14 games to Notts' 16, with 8 draws. All league encounters between the two have never taken place higher than the third tier. Colchester United Football Club is a baby in English football club terms, having been born in 1937. However, Colchester Town Football Club, the club's predecessor, was

Notts County and Bristol City have faced each other a gargantuan 103 times over their history. This is because both clubs have been regularly playing each other since the 1900s. However, tomorrow will be their first league meeting in ten years! Bristol City only just hold the upper edge, having won 41 games to Notts's 39. 23 matches have been drawn. The city of Bristol is the largest metro area in England never to have won the English top tier championship. City won the We

Notts County have only played Accrington Stanley 14 times in their history. The first fixtures were in August and December 1958, when both sides played in Division Three. The Magpies drew 1-1 in the first match, before losing 3-0 in the second. A hiatus of 48 years followed before the teams met again in the fourth tier, now called League Two, on 9 September 2006. The result was a 3-2 win to Notts. The last time the two met was on 22 August

Notts County have met Doncaster Rovers 54 times over the years, with the first fixture coming on the 13th December 1930. On that occasion, an FA Cup tie, the Magpies triumphed 1-0. It's perfectly poised between Notts and Doncaster, both boasting 23 wins each, plus eight draws. Our last meeting came on 25 April 2015, a league clash at Meadow Lane, and the Magpies won 2-1. Our recent form over Donny is not bad - four wins, a draw and just one defeat in the last six. The club wa

Notts County have only ever played AFC Wimbledon once, earlier this season, and the outcome was a 2-1 win to the opposition. The Magpies have also played no more than a handful of games against the original Wimbledon side – and the record is equally poor, with four defeats and two draws against them. If we take the new incarnation of Wimbledon to be a continuation of the old one, it means we have never won against them – a record we will w

Saturday is just the 11th time that Notts County have faced Yeovil Town. The first meeting between the two came back in 1961, with the Magpies winning this FA Cup tie 4-2, but a whole 43 years passed until the second meeting, which came in 2004! Back in November the Glovers beat Notts 2-1 at Meadow Lane, thanks to two goals in the last six minutes by Jordan Clarke.

Notts County have faced Barnsley a total of 65 times in their history, with the first meeting going back over a hundred years, on November 29, 1913. The result? A 3-1 win for the Magpies. Prior to this season, the two sides hadn't faced off for a decade, what with different leagues separating them both. The last game before this season, a Division 2 league match at Meadow Lane on January 21, 2004, ended in a 1-1 draw.Earlier in the season Notts beat Barnsley 3-2 a

Notts and Luton have faced off 67 times, with the first meeting coming in January 1912 when the Magpies secured a 4-2 away win in the FA Cup. The record is heavily slanted towards the Hatters, who have 34 wins to Notts’s 14, 19 draws completing the head-to-head. Out of the nine matches between the two that have taken place since the turn of the century, Notts have won three, drawn three and lost three. Luton Town F

Notts County's head-to-head record against Gillingham is historically pretty poor, winning 10 games, drawing seven and losing 15 since our first fixture on 25th October 1930. Fixtures between the two tend to come thick and fast for a certain period of time before ceasing to be for years on end. Between 1985 and 1989 we played each other nine times, then no meeting for seven years, squaring up again in October 1996. Since that league meetin

Notts County have met Colchester United a modest 39 times over the years, all league encounters except for one Sherpa Vans Trophy tie in 1988.

Notts County and Stevenage have only ever met seven times, the first meeting coming on 17 September 2011 at Broadhall Way (known as the Lamex Stadium). The result on that day was 2-0 to the Magpies. Our head-to-head record is pretty simple: three wins for Notts, four wins for Stevenage. We have never in our history drawn against Stevenage. Stevenage have only been in existence since 1976 - manager Teddy Sheringham is a whole ten years olde

Notts County and Yeovil Town have only met 13 times over the years. The first game took place at Meadow Lane on 4 November 1961, with the Magpies beating their opponents 4-2 in the FA Cup. That was the only meeting of the two pre-21st century - the 12 meetings following that game all took place between 2004 and 2016. Yeovil have the upper edge in the head-to-head with 6 wins, 5 defeats and 2 draws against Notts. Yeovil Football Club was founded in 1890, and shared their ground wit

The Latics hold the upper edge against Notts in the head-to-head, having won 36 games to our 34, while just 19 draws have taken place.

A resounding 4-1 win for the Magpies. Since then, however, the Owls have had the better of things. They have won 32 of the games to County’s 22 victories, while 17 games were drawn. Recent form against Wednesday is not so good. The last eight fixtures between the two teams have result
