Notts County Preview: Opposition Views

Last updated : 03 February 2003 By Site Staff
Are Notts County living up to their fans expectations?

Depends how high the fans expectations were at the beginning of the season.
After securing our survival on the last day of the season last year, just
staying up this year would have done me fine.


Did anyone impress you, out of the Crewe team, at the
Gresty Road?

Your strikers missed a host of chances and since then they have not looked
back. It was an excellent match back in August, both sides allowing the
other to play a passing game very enjoyable to watch (and we won which
helped!). A clean game as well - no one booked if I remember rightly.

What change would you most like to see before/on
Tuesday?

Well considering we only had 14 players training at the weekend after our

defeat at Wycombe, there isn't really a lot we can do to change the team at
the moment. But if we had enough players I would definitely leave Craig
Ireland out of the defence he has cost us far too many goals with his lack
of pace with one on one situations.

Low point of the season?
Probably losing 4-2 to Southport in the FA Cup 1st round after being 2-0 up
with 10 men. An excperiance I certainly wouldn't want to repeat!

High point?
Probably our Boxing Day win over Barnsley. We played with 10 men for 80
minutes of the game, never gave up and came back from 2-1 down to win 3-2.
Watching the Barnsley players being sent straight back out to do their warm
down was very enjoyable!

What's Notts County's weak point?
Have you got about 6 hours for this question? Being at the bottom of the
table and in administration we have plenty of problems to deal with as well
as the relegation we're trying to fight as well.

Strong point?
Fenton

Strong point? what strong point?

Best player?
Depends which team turns up! Seriously though Nick Fenton in defence is
probably just about our most consistant player. But we also have Darren
Caskey and our strikers who are excellent if they are having a good day.

How many do you expect to turn out at Meadow Lane?
Probably around 4000 if we're lucky.

Prediction for Tuesday?
Erm... I'm going for 2-1 to Crewe.
