League One

Notts County begin their League One season with 3–0 defeats to both Huddersfield Town and Oldham Athletic, keeping them bottom of the table. County notched their first league win of the season against newly promoted Dagenham & Redbridge, and followed it with a hard-fought 3–3 away draw against Bournemouth. The next home league game marked the Meadow Lane centenary, and the team won 4–0 against Yeovil Town. Notts lost their next match to Charlton Athletic, 1–0, with the Addicks scoring the winning goal in the final five minutes, but responded with a 3–2 win over Leyton Orient at home. After losing their next league match 2–1 at Bristol Rovers, County recorded a midweek 3–2 away win against Peterborough United in a bad-tempered affair which saw players and officials involved in a fracas on the pitch. The following Saturday, Notts lost 2–0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday and had a player dismissed for the third consecutive league game. Carlisle United were the next side to defeat County. Bouncing back with a win over Plymouth Argyle and then consecutive losses to Colchester United and Southampton. Exeter City and Tranmere Rovers extended Notts County's losing run to 4 games before Lee Hughes scored the only goal in a win over Swindon Town. Notts County had their game with Brentford called off because of a frozen pitch.[19] However, their luck had changed the following game, beating Milton Keynes Dons 2–0, this was followed by a 1–1 draw with Plymouth and consecutive wins against Walsall and Hartlepool United. Southampton then drew with Notts County, this was followed by 1–0 defeat to Carlisle United and 1–1 draws with Hartlepool United and Walsall. Exeter beat Notts County 2–0 and then Colchester United lost 2–0 to County, this was followed with a win over Charlton Athletic and a draw against Brentford. Two defeats by two promotion candidates, Leyton Orient and Peterborough United, followed before bouncing back with a 1–0 win over Sheffield Wednesday. County then suffered three consecutive 1–0 defeats to the hands of Rochdale, Bristol Rovers and league-leaders Brighton & Hove Albion. Defeats against Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic. Rochdale, Dagenham & Rebridge, Yeovil Town and Bournemouth all followed. Notts County finally ended their club-record nine game losing streak in the league when they beat fellow strugglers Tranmere Rovers 1–0 away. This was followed by a 2–1 win over Swindon Town, where County had to come back from one goal down. A draw with Brentford meant that the team were still not safe from relegation to League Two, and County failed again to secure safety after a 2–1 defeat to Milton Keynes Dons. They did however secure their league one safety on the final day of the season thanks to a 1–1 draw at home to league one champions Brighton & Hove Albion
