Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Charlie Milner

25 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Notts County lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Harald Nilsen Tangen scores twice — 8.35

Two goals and a mark of 8.35 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Harry Griffiths hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Notts County can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Tyrese Hall

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Notts County

Kelle Roos was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Notts County training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ollie Norburn is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Harald Nilsen Tangen sends Notts County past Crewe Alexandra

It finished 2‑0, and it was Harald Nilsen Tangen’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Notts County.

Squad

No hiding place for Alassana Jatta

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Alassana Jatta, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Jodi Jones in the eights

A performance of 8.02 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

In brief
