“It’s a great response although, to be honest, I didn’t feel I really needed a response from Saturday’s loss to Chesterfield as I was proud of the players – how we took on a very good team in Chesterfield with 10 men and scored two goals,” said Notts County manager Martin Paterson following his team’s impressive performance.
Notts County triumphed with a 4-0 victory against Accrington Stanley at Wham Stadium on March 17, 2026. The match marked a significant moment for the team, who are currently in fourth place in the league and are actively pursuing promotion in League Two.
Jodi Jones opened the scoring for Notts County in the 9th minute, setting the tone for a dominant display. Keanan Bennetts followed suit, netting the second goal in the 31st minute, further establishing Notts County’s control over the match.
In the second half, Conor Grant added to the tally with a goal in the 68th minute, and Tyrese Hall capped off the scoring with a fourth goal in the 83rd minute. The match concluded with Notts County firmly in command, having scored four goals while keeping Accrington Stanley from finding the net.
The crowd at Wham Stadium was recorded at 1863, with 538 supporters from Notts County making the trip to cheer on their team. Despite the loss, Accrington Stanley has not won in their last six league games, highlighting their struggles this season.
Paterson expressed his satisfaction with the performance, stating, “The four who scored all deserved their goals, some of the performances were fantastic.” His comments reflect the team’s collective effort and determination to succeed.
On the other hand, Accrington Stanley’s manager John Doolan noted, “The decision-making at times wasn’t us. We didn’t do the basics, there was a lack of communication,” indicating areas that need improvement for his squad.
Isaac Sinclair also made a notable return to action as a substitute after recovering from an injury, adding depth to Notts County’s squad as they continue their campaign.
As the season progresses, Notts County looks to build on this victory and maintain their momentum in the league, while Accrington Stanley will aim to turn their fortunes around in upcoming matches.
