PNE duo make Crawley move

Barton and Collins both signed two-and-a-half year contracts with North End last season and are rated highly at Deepdale. Boss Alan Irvine believes the move is an ideal opportunity for both players to experience regular first-team football. Irvine said: "They will join Crawley until midnight on September 29 and that period includes eight games for them. "It is the chance to play man's football where winning the game is important. "They have played reserve football, but that is just like youth football and winning the games is not vital. But this will give them an education and will be good experience for them both."
