Speaking to the Nottingham Evening Post on Friday, Dearden said "I have always fancied Bap as a right back. I think he can get a good understanding with Matt Hamshaw and will probably create a lot more down the right-hand side.
"He will play anywhere for me, he has been tremendous.
"I put him in midfield for the last 20 minutes (against Derby) just to get him going again. I might also use him there if I want a job doing on somebody."
