Hawley makes full debut for Reds

7:14pm Wednesday 22nd February 2012 in Sport By Steve Hollis

Karl Hawley is the immediate beneficiary of Tyrone Barnett's surprise move to Peterborough yesterday as he makes his first start against Morecambe tonight.

The on-loan Notts County striker comes into a side which features three changes from the one which lost 2-0 to Stoke City in the FA Cup on Sunday.

Billy Clarke returns after being Cup-tied to partner Hawley up front with Sanchez Watt dropping into a deeper role. Striker Shaun Batt, who signed on loan from Millwall yesterday, has to be content with a place on the bench.

Hope Akpan makes his first start for eight games in central midfield with Kyle McFadzean expected to move to right-back to fill the gap left by the injured David Hunt.

Goalkeeper Rene Gilmartin makes his league debut for Reds with Michel Kuipers continuing on the bench.

Crawley (4-4-2): Gilmartin; McFadzean, Mills, Davies, Howell; Watt, Bulman, Akpan, Torres; Clarke, Hawley. Subs: Kuipers, Simpson, Akinde, Batt, Neilson.

Morecambe (4-3-3): Roche; Parrish, Fenton, McCready, Wilson; Fleming, Hunter, McDonald; Alessandra, Price, Carlton. Subs: Reid, Ellison, Burrow, Drummond, Kettings.
