John Sheridan praises "magical" Stanley Aborah but says he needs to adapt his game

John Sheridan has praised Stanley Aborah's "magical" skills but claims he needs to be more adaptable for Notts County.

The Belgian has had to make do with a place on the bench in the last few weeks but was restored to the centre of midfield for the Magpies' 2-0 win over Boreham Wood.

With Newport visiting Meadow Lane on Saturday, the Notts boss is likely to give Aborah a chance from the off in the League Two game, but offered words of caution as well as praise.

"You can't just play with the ball all the time, it's what you do without it which is what I and other managers look at," Sheridan told the Nottingham Post.

"There's no doubting his (Stan's) ability because he does things that are magical and when it comes off it looks great.

"He looked good the other night as did Graham Burke. But people suss you out and that's when you have to change your game.

"I am sure if Newport watched the game on Tuesday night they would be saying to get in the face of Aborah and Burke if they are playing.

"But I know what Stan can do and I love what he has got. When he's on form there's probably no better player."
