Game 27 - Red Devils (H)

Team: Crawley Town

Date: 23/01/18

Where: Meadow Lane

What line-up should Kevin Nolan opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

we need a win at meadow lane, notts have to bounce back. this is a 3 pointer!

I did give a warning about Exeter, though I felt we'd be okay (wishful thinking).

What worries me about Crawley is the fact that they'll aim to be strong on the ball, physical and they'll be happy to sit back in order to attack us on the counter. If they have anyone knowledgable in terms of scouting the opposition - all they will have to do is watch the last home game and some of the others to pin point how easily we can be broken down.

If the defence is alert and stronger, if we hold the ball in midfield and use it creativity - we should be fine.

Yet I do feel we may hit a dry spell from our strikers, so Jorge Grant, Liam Noble and other players will need to find their own boots.

We really need two front men and i would suggest that Grant need to play just behind the strikers and not deep as he has been doing and only moving up when we go behind 

Well, that all went out the window.

FA Cup seems a potential downer now, if we win Notts must re-focus! Otherwise the cup could be a distraction to the current mission, we didn't go top by being lucky. So, lets get things back to how they was and sign two players (ST/CB).
