John Sheridan 'to select different Notts players away from home'

Notts County manager John Sheridan says he will consider selecting different players away from home.

The Magpies began their League Two season with a 2-0 defeat at Yeovil Town, prompting the veteran boss to consider which of his squad may be more effective on the road.

"Hopefully there aren't one or two players in the comfort zone thinking they will play all the time because I just won't do that," Sheridan said.

"We haven't got a best player at this club, they are all evenly matched. But I will pick a shape and a team that will suit us. I will look at away differently to how we play at home.

"I've done it before when I had Jack Lester at Chesterfield. I never played him away from home and he was my best player.

"These are decisions I have to make and I will be making them early. I won't be doing it after 10 to 15 games of the season.

"I've got to sort it out and see which players will get us results away from home and those who will be effective at home. If I have to do that, then that's not a problem."

    It could work in my opinion , think yesterday was an example of the frailties at the back giving us a mountain to climb from early on so for me that is more of a priority to sort, still feel another CB experienced and a no nonsense type would improve us quiet considerably, then you can stay in a game and build going forward, not sure about vadaine Oliver but he will make it uncomfortable for centre backs because of his style of play , maybe Forte will benefit from that , who knows , sure we will improve whatever path JS takes .

    This should have been done pre-season, select the best squad and stick with 'em!

    Messing around could cost us further games, please avoid experimenting and just expect better from the players. Yesterday's result shouldn't send anyone into panic, the above idea perhaps might though.
