Jonathan Forte: 'I want to start games for Notts County'

Notts County forward Jonathan Forte admits he is not happy with a role as an impact substitute, and that he wants to be starting for the Magpies.

The 31-year-old came off the bench at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday, just after Notts had relinquished a two-goal lead, and headed his side back in front.

Forte also played a big part in the fourth, setting up the groundwork for Lewis Alessandra to strike as Notts came away from Adams Park with a 4-2 win.

The former three-time Notts loanee was omitted from the squad's 3-0 defeat at Coventry City in the opening League Two game of the season, with manager Kevin Nolan mentioning a "frank discussion" between the two.

Forte told the official club site: "I don't want to be an impact substitute... I want to start.

"The manager and I had a few words, some of which weren't nice, but that's football and I have to work hard to try and get back into the team.

"I'm in my 30s now. I'm big and ugly enough to take what was said. We both spoke the truth and have put it past us to try and work together.

"There are 46 games in a league season and everyone will play their part. When you get your chance you have to take it."
