Fleetwood Town vs Notts County preview - Fleetwood v Notts County TN

Posted Friday, February 20, 2015 by PA

Manager Graham Alexander is blessed with an almost fully-fit squad again as Fleetwood host Notts County.

The Cod Army's only change in the 2-0 loss at Crewe last time out was to replace attacking midfielder Nick Haughton with Antoni Sarcevic, but the former may be recalled in light of that disappointing defeat.

Alexander has options available if he decides to shake things up even more, with Nathan Pond, Stephen Dobbie and Jamie Proctor among those champing at the bit.

Striker Jamille Matt (leg) and full-back Danny Andrew (knee) are the Cod Army's only long-term absentees.

Ronan Murray will miss out for the Magpies, who could be unchanged for the third game in a row.

Murray sustained an injury in training last week and the striker, who has not featured in the squad for almost a month, will continue to be absent on Saturday.

A decent midweek display against Sheffield United, despite a home defeat, will probably see Notts boss Shaun Derry stick with the same starting line up. However, should he wish to tweak anything he has the likes of Sean Newton, Haydn Hollis, Billy Daniels, Kaiyne Woolery and Shaun Harrad to call on.

Jimmy Spencer remains a long-term absentee after suffering a knee injury during pre-season.
