Stanley Aborah to play in attack for Notts County, says John Sheridan

Notts County manager John Sheridan has praised Stanley Aborah and believes he should be in a more attacking role this season.

The former Ajax midfielder, considered one of the best players last season, was ostracised by one of the former managers but looks to be in the Magpies boss's plans this season as he found himself deployed further up the pitch.

"I just like him up the pitch because you can take chances up there," Sheridan said of Aborah.

"He is confident on the ball and he's better losing it 70 yards from our goal, not that he gives the ball away a lot.

"I just think he is a good player. He needs to be in the opposition half more than the defensive half. And that's where I am going to play him."

Can Aborah shine this season after being ostracised by the manager who must not be named last season? Let Pride of Nottingham know your thoughts by signing up to the website, visiting the forum and joining the conversation.
