Shola Ameobi: 'Notts County good enough for playoff place next season'

Notts County are good enough to launch a League Two playoff challenge next season, according to Shola Ameobi.

The Magpies finished last season strongly, losing just once at home since Kevin Nolan took charge of the first team in January.

Ameobi played a key role himself in driving the club out of relegation danger by scoring four goals following his arrival at the start of the year, and is now hoping for a top-seven finish.

"I am always looking to do the best we can," he told the Nottingham Post. "We had a great end to last season and we want to make progress from that.

"We don't want to be in another relegation fight and ideally you want to be in the top half of the league.

"You want to be fighting for those promotion and play-off spots and personally I think we are good enough to be in those positions.

"We want to be fighting for the play-offs and I know the manager will look to bring more players in that will help us try to achieve that."
