Matchday 14: Southend United vs Crawley Town
Starting lineups
After a miserable 3-0 battering away at Barrow, a change of formation will hopefully bring new fortune in a top of the table clash against 2nd-placed Crawley Town.
4-3-2-1 is the order of the day, with Lopata dropped and Neal coming into deep central midfield.
