Fleetwood Town Preview


UniPie

Jeff Hughes returns to Meadow Lane tomorrow evening no more than two months since he departed to the League Two outfit. Having scored on Saturday, the wide man looks to have settled in and there’s a sense that he could well be on the score sheet again tomorrow. Without dipping into the various opinions that have tried to interpret the form of Friday night’s performance against Sheffield United, it is hard to know what Kiwomya will do with the Notts side. It is most likely that the squad will be rotated considering pre-season feels as if it has hardly finished.

Without Gary Liddle at the heart of defence, an opportunity could well show itself to Manny Smith who could possibly rate as the most unlucky of Notts’ playing staff. Having not been able to get a game for love nor money, he could finally have a chance to stake his claim to the centre half position.

At the top end of the Notts squad, it’s likely that Enoch Showunmi could start after his beautiful strike against United. Who partners him is also wide open with Arquin and Haynes having both been unable to really feature in the United match. Adam Coombes could make his debut; it mostly depends on how seriously Kiwomya would like to take this fixture.

Notts are currently priced around 6/5 for the win with Fleetwood just a shade over 5/2. The draw is priced around 3/1 and again I envisage a low scoring game with Notts really needing to display some creativity and ability in passing forward and creating goal scoring chances.

It is most certainly not going to be the game of the season; perhaps the best outcome tomorrow is a good Notts performance including some of the newer and younger players. A lot of Notts’ ambitions rest on the players performing consistently and being better in attack than they were last season.

You Pies.

I forgot about Adam Coombes, It would be nice to see what he can do on the left side of midfield. He can play there and Chelsea fans suggested it would be one of his better positions, whilst he gets back to playing football and of course his fitness.

With Liddle being out, It's going to be interesting but I see him taking the position back. I would like him in Midfield but Notts know he holds the back line along with Leacock.

I would use Enoch as a sub myself but it's an interesting preview, well thought out buddy. Thanks again for taking the time to write this for us!

An excellent preview,Joe. I agree with your comments. I think CK WILL take the fixture very seriously.Notts do not want to lose and get into a losing run.It is ,though, a chance for him to try a bit of squad rotation.It wont be the end of the world if Notts lose,as long as the performance is good.-Notts to win

I'm convinced that Arquin is more of an impact player than a starter myself. Enoch could start, but I just hope we play it to feet with him. Thats clearly what he prefers. Despite his immense size he's not brilliant in the air, but if we play it to his feet and allow him to run at defenders he can do some damage. Let's face it, who would feel comfortable with him charging at you?
