Notts County vs Crawley Town preview - Ricardo Moniz will shake up Notts county line-up

Notts County manager Ricardo Moniz will make defensive changes for the Sky Bet League Two clash against Crawley.

Moniz said on Saturday he was "ashamed" by the way his team conceded two late goals to lose 2-1 at AFC Wimbledon and he vowed to freshen things up for the visit of Mark Yates' side.

The Dutchman has options at the back with Mike Edwards, Rhys Sharpe and Scott Bennett pushing for recalls while Elliott Hewitt (hamstring) and Civard Sprockel are nearing returns from injury.

Curtis Thompson, Liam Noble and Julian Jenner are options elsewhere for Moniz while striker Izale McLeod will hope to keep his place in the starting line up against the club he left last month to join the Magpies.

Crawley boss Yates hopes to find his injury problems eased for the trip to Meadow Lane.

Yates was only able to name four substitutes for Saturday's disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Yeovil due to a lengthy list of injuries and suspensions.

Gwion Edwards is still banned while new signing Rhys Murphy is a doubt after missing Saturday's loss due to tonsillitis.

Fellow new boy Ross Jenkins could make his first start after coming off the bench on Saturday while Lewis Young and Bobson Bawling will be pushing for a return to the starting line-up.
