Jocelin Ta Bi beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 29. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout30 Aug 2027

Mirsad Ali says Notts County went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Notts County

Charlie Taylor 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.

Real improvement from Jonathan Díaz at Notts County

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jonathan Díaz is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad30 Aug 2027

A late step up for Lucas Ness

At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

A row about effort at Notts County

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jocelin Ta Bi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Door shut on Brian Madjo

Notts County asked and Aston Villa said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Half-satisfied: Jack Lawrence on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout30 Aug 2027

Conor Grant knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Notts County, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market5 Jul 2027

Rod McDonald puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Notts County, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Chesterfield tell Notts County: Lee Bonis is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Notts County bid $1.2M for Bobby Faulkner

The offer went to Doncaster Rovers this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Tempers go at Notts County

Charlie Taylor 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.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Notts County baulk at the price for Paco Alcácer

Bristol City wanted more than $170.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Dan Happe falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market5 Jul 2027

Still no ink between Notts County and Kieran Green

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Notts County, another week without a signature from Kieran Green.

Boardroom5 Jul 2027

Notts County sign 6 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.

The dugout5 Jul 2027

James Shea asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
