CRAWLEY Town's giant striker Steve Fletcher could be set to make his first start in a league game as Reds travel to Dorset to take on Weymouth tonight (Tuesday).
Reds are looking to stay at the top of the Blue Square table and need a draw against former Crawley Town manager John Hollins' team, who are 18th in the table, to keep their lead.
In an important week for the club, Crawley then take on second-placed Kettering Town on Saturday at Broadfield Stadium and a win in that game could help them carve out a gap at the top of the table.
Manager Steve Evans will be making his final selection for tonight's match this afternoon but has hinted that 'Big Fletch' could play from the start.
He is set to replace Jon-Paul Pittman, who himself started his first game in five weeks on Saturday and scored a great goal to help Town beat Oxford 2-1.
Evans said: "We will see how everyone is when we meet up, but we might well rest Pittman as playing two big games in three days may be too much for him after having had five weeks out with an ankle injury.
"I see this as a tough challenge - it's a difficult league to get points but we are playing fantastic football.
"Weymouth have some good players and any result will not be easy to achieve.
"There will be no wild celebrations if we win as it's a long season and we haven't won anything yet."
