Crusaders change code again for Saturdays game at Seaview when the play Loughgall in the Sports Direct Premiership (3pm) A big win against Coleraine on Tuesday night in the League Cup have the team on a high and they hope to bring that form into the match on Saturday. Loughgall have picked their form up also and have won their last two games and Dean Smith will be urging his side to make it three in a row so a smashing game lies ahead.
Declan Caddell could not praise his team enough on Tuesday night and with injuries in the camp we could see the same side starting again. It has been a case of whoever is fit is playing at the minute but we could see Jordan Forsythe, Ross Clarke and Harry Franklin return should they be given the all clear. The return of Philip Lowry has come at the right time and he will be the heart of the midfield again after his commanding performance on Tuesday night past. It will be a case of same again for this game and with the commitment, graft and desire shown Crusaders will be very hard to beat. The goal burst in the last fifteen minutes of this fixture earlier this season will also be talked about so the team will know what is expected.
Loughgall have won the last two games after going through a poor run and sit bottom of the table on goal difference so their is life in the team and Crusaders will be wary of their improved form. Loughgall will come looking for a result and Dean Smith will want to make a good account with his side after that heavy defeat back in September to Crusaders. Ryan Waide, Nathaniel Ferris and Jordan Gibson have all chipped in with goals so it's definitely a trio worth the watching.
Another game at Seaview means another shout out to supporters to come to the game. You know that players love to see and hear you so get your ticket in one of three ways…
Bring the colours and bring the noise and get behind Declan and the team. C'mon the Crues.
