Notts County boss Kevin Nolan reveals "ruckus" with Rob Milsom

Kevin Nolan has revealed that a "ruckus" took place between himself and Rob Milsom over the midfielder becoming sloppy in training.

The current Notts County Player of the Year made his first League Two start of the season as the Magpies beat Swindon 1-0 at Meadow Lane in midweek.

Nolan has already spoken numerous times of a "frank discussion" with striker Jonathan Forte, and now he has revealed that something similar took place with Milsom.

“Milly was unfortunate to miss five to 10 days of pre-season with a stiff neck and we brought in a couple of midfielders in in that time,” he told the Nottingham Post.

“It wasn’t really difficult to keep him happy. He’s just had to wait for his chance.

“We had a bit of ruckus a few weeks ago when I felt he was becoming sloppy in his training.

“It showed in a game when we put him on. I feel he’s now training with the intensity and quality that made him player of the year.

“It’s only a matter of time before he gets his run. He got his first game (on Tuesday). He’s made my job a lot harder.”

    I honestly don't know what to make of this.

    Part of me wonders why this needs to be public knowledge, another wonders why KN has issues with Milsom? If a players not playing its natural for their morale to slump and this will naturally effect training but he seems to have applied himself well. If he's return from an injury, this may impact his training.

    I understand KN has to be a manager and firm with the players but i knew this would be a problem. It must be hard for the likes of Walker and Milsom to see Ryan Yates a loanee player being the first on the team sheet most weeks.
