NCM picks versus Macclesfield Town

Last updated : 29 February 2008 By Paul Smith








Goalkeeper
- Of late this has been an easy choice due to the sparkling form of Kevin Pilkington. It remains an easy choice, but only because there is just one keeper available due to injuries to Pilkington and understudy Tim Sandercombe - loanee Russell Hoult.










Defence
- Injuries have caused a few headaches in this position of late. Available to choose from in the back four are Adam Tann, Mike Edwards, Paul Mayo and Gary Silk. Stephen Hunt is rated as 50:50. NCM are going to say that Hunt is fit and so would line-up like this: If not, Silk comes in and Tann moves back inside.










Midfield
- After a lack of creativity from the midfield last week, NCM would be inclined to mix it up a bit, but you cannot drop Richard Butcher due to his consistent goal threat, while Jay Smith seems to be coming into form after a good showing last week. That means Neil MacKenzie will have to be patient. Out wide Myles Weston and Ali Gibb are proving horribly inconsistent, but when they are on song they have showed they can create chances. Therefore, it's as you were here.









Strikers
- The same applies at the top. Ryan Jarvis and Danny Crow are in good form together and are Notts' best duo.
