Loanee Aaron Collins eager for Notts County starting berth

Notts County loanee Aaron Collins is eager to make John Sheridan's starting XI, treating every substitute appearance he's made so far as if he's "knocking on the manager's door".

The Wolverhampton Wanderers winger has impressed for the Magpies since joining on loan in August, scoring several goals and adding energy when coming on.

"Every time I go out on the pitch, I feel as though I am knocking on the manager's door," Collins told reporters.

"I've done well every time I have come on, and I am looking forward to that start when it does come.

"I will be ready for it and if it comes against Portsmouth then that would be a great achievement for me personally.

"It's such a big club with the amount of fans they get at a big stadium.

"Hopefully if I do start, I will do as well as I can, see if I can score a goal and see what the result pans out like."

Notts face Portsmouth on Saturday in a League Two fixture at Fratton Park.
