John Sheridan hails "bright" but idle Adam Campbell

John Sheridan has described Adam Campbell as "probably the brightest footballer" at Notts County, but admits that he can get idle at times.

The former Newcastle United forward struck twice at Fratton Park on Saturday to give the Magpies an impressive 2-1 win over Portsmouth.

"He's a lovely footballer, and he's very clever," Sheridan told the Nottingham Post.

"He's probably the brightest footballer at the club.

"He is the one who has what I call a 'gear change'. He knows when to slow down, stand still and so on. His two finishes were excellent and I think he should score more goals.

"But he's one of them who I think gets a little bit lackadaisical so I am going to have to keep on top of him.

"Just before he scored, I had a go because I thought he should have been doing a bit more.

"But he had a little glance at me when he scored as if to say 'here you are gaffer, stick this up your backside'. I love that."
