Kevin Nolan hopes to keep award-winning Rob Milsom at Notts County


Joe Jones

Kevin Nolan has praised Rob Milsom after the midfielder picked up two Notts County awards last week, admitting that he would like to keep him at Meadow Lane next season.

The 30-year-old collected the Players' Player of the Year and the Fans' Player of the Year awards before Saturday's 1-0 win over Blackpool as a reward for his impressive and consistent form.

Milsom is one of many players out of contract at the club in the summer, but his manager is hoping to keep hold of him for the 2017-18 campaign.

"Rob has been brilliant since I came in," Nolan told the Nottingham Post. "He is an honest and hardworking lad. That's why he has all of those accolades.

"I am hoping he can kick on further now after having a torrid few years before that.

"He should go away feeling very proud of himself, and he should have a good rest before he comes back ready and raring to go in July.

"He hasn't played this many games in a long time, but we will manage it and see where we go with the contract talks. I would love to keep him if we can get the contract right."

I spoke to numerous Notts fans on Saturday, only Barry who I interviewed on 'Meet the Fans' said that Milsom deserved to be named the Player of the Season. I honestly feel most of the players have been largely inconsistent, yet he's been the one player that has featured more than others to an acceptable level.

That said, I think the award probably should have been dropped this season - set the level for next season.

Players only have to give 100%, so the bar isn't set very high in terms of standard or quality.

I have to say when it come to Notts county management I've always doubted them but Kevin nolans is different he has lit a fire under players and this is one choice I've got to agree with. With the right new players Milton can only improve. Great choice
