  Notts County players did not let Ricardo Moniz down, says caretaker boss Mick Halsall. Moniz was sacked on Tuesday after less than nine months in charge at Meadow Lane. But, despite the Magpies being down in 15th place in League Two, Halsall does not think the strong squad of players that was assembled last summer let the Dutchman down with their performances this season. Academy manager Halsall and Notts Under-21s coach Richard Dryden will take charge of Notts against Oxford United in...

  Having taken almost 100 games to register his first goal, Eric Lichaj suddenly has an appetite for more. When Nottingham Forest broke quickly from a Leeds corner last week, it was the unlikely figure of the American defender charging down the centre of the pitch, looking over his shoulder for a pass from Ryan Mendes that would have sent him clear, had it not been blocked. While the former Aston Villa man has also recently been given the licence to push forward for Forest corners, where he...

  Eric Lichaj believes Dougie Freedman will have Nottingham Forest perfectly prepared when it comes to their tactical approach at Charlton. The Reds defender says the manager has been tactically spot on in most games this season. And, as they had to face one of the Championship strugglers at The Valley, Lichaj expects Freedman to have a blueprint for success lined up. "The manager has a plan for every single game; he is always tactically prepared," said Lichaj. "I would say...

  Nottingham Rugby head coach Martin Haag has been pretty pleased with the past 12 months. But he goes into the first game of 2016 hoping this time his team can go one better.

Aborah played 90 minutes in the 2-2 draw against Morecambe on Monday, the first time he has done so since November when a tackle by Barnet's Sam Togwell left him with a serious knee injury. But he managed to get through the entire game against Morecambe, which proved to be the last of Ricardo Moniz's reign at Meadow Lane. The Magpies begin life without the Dutchman with a game...
