The Notts County Courier
Match16 Sep 2026
Notts County march on in the cup
Exeter City are out and Notts County go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Tyrese Hall, 21, steals the show — 8.07
Marked 8.07 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Words exchanged at Notts County
Harald Nilsen Tangen and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Real improvement from Alex Li at Notts County
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Alex Li is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
Match19 Sep 2026
6 unbeaten for Notts County
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Notts County did not have in the autumn.
Match19 Sep 2026
Tyrese Hall the difference as Notts County beat Barnet
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Tyrese Hall. 2‑1 against Barnet, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
The terraces21 Sep 2026
One of their own: Alfie Harrison
He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Harald Nilsen Tangen was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.21. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Jimi Tauriainen stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Jimi Tauriainen and Notts County agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
