He has expressed that he wants to stay with us and feels more settled at Mansfield. Whether your new manager thinks he's part of his plan, time shall tell.

I'm really in two minds over any recall.  I think Adams is an average League 2 left back, but that might just be better than anything else we've got!  Seeing as it looks like we won't be getting Sheehan back, it's a toss up between Adams, Audel and Milsom as to who will fill the gap best.

I know that Wroe is back as he has tweeted that he is, not sure on Adams, but I think he is the best option that we currently have at left back. I would like to see Milsom in midfield to hopefully give us better balance.

I have not seen Adams live but from the highlights it seems we can do far better.

Who is the current regular left back? Do we still have Sheehan?

Sheehan is now back at Bradford, I hope we get him back but it looks unlikely, Mrs T said she would try to get him back but its all down to JF

"Current regular left back" is not a phrase that's been used at Notts this season!  Sheehan played a couple of games there before he was moved to centre back before returning to Bradford pre-Christmas.  The left back spot was then mainly filled by Audel and more recently Milsom.  The back four have looked dodgy all season, whoever has been playing in it.  It's hard to be too critical of them as they have had very little protection from midfield, opposing teams have sliced through the middle with alarming ease.  Fullarton's main task is to instil some defensive discipline without sacrificing the attacking flair.  I don't envy him that job!

The return of Adams might allow Milsom to move into central midfield - I wonder if he would give the back four more protection? Or maybe Wroe would fit the bill there. Then of course we could only pick one of Aborah, Thompson and Noble, or two if we play five across the middle.

We generally played with two wide men (Campbell and Burke) under Moniz, and while this gave us considerable attacking threat, we looked lightweight in the centre of midfield.  Aborah, Noble and even Thompson give a very limited physical presence in what is usually a battleground in League 2.  Milsom may be an option, but I can't help wishing Scunny would let us have Neal Bishop back!

I would love for Bish to come back, we desperately need someone like him in midfield in order to release our attacking players. Not sure what system we are likely to play, but if it is different (almost certainly) to Moniz's then I am struggling to see how Aborah is going to fit into it. 

I still think that Adams is our best option at left back, unless we can get Sheehan, but the new manager will have other priorities at Centre Half first.

I'd love to see Neal Bishop back if he still has the legs. And Alan Sheehan please.

You should have a better player in Blair, you got out of him what we couldn't. I don't blame him personally for his performances here.

Good luck.

You got Sheehan who he is decent, so I've heard from couple of my county fans. Thanks pal.

keep him he ain't as good as Milsom in my opinion Milsom is solid going forward and solid at the back.

Adams did okay last in bits and not so good and if it frees up wages to either bring in a Centre back I'd do that hopefully Sharpe will come in sooner then later as back up.

I also watched the Mansfield vs Wimbledon highlights and the first goal looked like Adams was to tight on lyle Taylor I belive it was.

Anyway Adams is okay but against anyone half decent no pacey wingers last year took him to the cleaners good left foot tho 

Agree 1862 Milsom is a better option. The jury is still out on whether Sharpe is an adequate back up though
