If Athletic’s game at Notts County gets the go ahead after a 10:00am pitch inspection, manager Paul Dickov has indicated that striker Dan Taylor may get a chance to feature in the starting line-up for tonight's kick-off. The disappointed Dickov plans to weild the changes in an attempt to stop the rot which has plagued the team in recent matches.
Dickov said, “Dan came on and ran like we asked him to do. I said to the boys that I feel for them - but one thing we can’t do now is feel sorry for ourselves. I have said all along that if the younger ones are going to show me in training and reserve-team games that they really, really want it, I will put them in. We knew he would tire a bit but he did a good job.”
