Crawley unchanged for third consecutive game

2:12pm Saturday 9th March 2013 in Sport By Steve Hollis

Crawley boss Richie Barker has stuck with the same team for the third match in a row for today's clash with Notts County at Broadfield Stadium.

That means Connor Essam keeps his place in the centre of defence ahead of Mark Connolly, who remains on the bench, while top scorer Billy Clarke is still not fit enough to return from a hamstring injury.

Notts County make four changes to the side which won 1-1 against Leyton Orient. Manny Smith comes in for the suspended Dean Leacock in defence while Jeff Hughes replaces the injured Alan Judge.

Jacob Blyth comes in for on loan Manchester United striker John Cofie, who suffered a facial injury against Orient, while Hamza Bencherif replaces Francois Zoko.

Crawley (4-1-2-3): P Jones; Dumbuya, Walsh, Essam, Sadler; Bulman; Taylor, Sparrow; M Jones, Proctor, Adams. Subs: Maddison, Hunt, Connolly, Torres, Smith, Elford-Alliyu, O'Brien.

County (4-5-1): Bialkowski; Liddle, Hollis, Smith, Sheehan; Campbell-Ryce, Boucaud, Bencherif, Bishop, Hughes; Blyth. Subs: Spiess, Thompson, Zoko, Showunmi, Arquin, Tempest, Cofie.
