Crewe Team News Vs Nott'm Forest

Dario will almost certainly name the same side that beat Stoke on Tuesday. The only changes will come on the bench where Michael Symes, who signed onloan from Everton on Wednesday, will be named. The 20 year old has impressed the coaching staff in his two training sessions and it's likely Symes will get his chance to impress.

Symes signed after Dario went to watch his Everton team mate Nick Chadwick in a reserve game. CreweAlex.com were the FIRST to bring you the news that Dario wanted Chadwick onloan earlier this season, but with Chadwick already agreeing a loan to Millwall Dario went for the next best thing - his strike partner: "I went to watch Everton reserves because we wanted to have a look at Nick Chadwick. Michael was playing alongside him that night and I didn't think there was much in it between the two of them. I thought they both did well.

"I spoke to David Moyes after the game and he informed me that Nicky was going back to Millwall on loan, so I asked him about Michael and he said we could bring him here to have a look at him.

"I thought we might as well have him with us on loan and make him eligible to play for us. He has done well in training, and could be in contention for a place on the bench tomorrow.

"We haven't ruled out making it a longer term deal but we will have to wait and see because he is only 20 and that means Everton could be entitled for some compensation. That is the problem we now face but he is a big lad and could be a player for the future." (Quotes from CreweAlex.net)

Also in contention for a place on the bench are Anthony Tonkin, Lee Bell and Ben Rix, all have played out of their skins in training this week and Dario may choose them over players who've added lathargic performances recently.

Dave Brammer, Luke Varney and David Wright are all out but are all on their way to playing again this month. Allan Smart has finally been ruled out for the season.
