John Sheridan: 'I know who to bring in and who to let go'

Notts County boss John Sheridan has told reporters that he knows who to keep and who to let go from his playing squad in January.

The 52-year-old has been vocal about his need to strengthen in the transfer window as he looks to usher the Magpies away from relegation trouble.

"I've got players in mind who I want to bring in and who to let go," he told the Nottingham Post.

"I find it very hard when I'm picking my team; I don't like leaving people out.

"That's one thing I am as a manager, I do care about individuals. They all want to play, they all want to be out on the pitch, and they've all got to look after their families.

"I find that hard. I'm just going to make decisions purely for the benefit of us as a club, not because I dislike anyone.

"I've got to make decisions, and I'll have to move people on to bring people in.

"I've had a chat with one or two players and told them. Likewise, I've made enquiries about players coming in because we need to do something."
