Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
Vermin?!? Seriously? We live in such a strange time where you can’t express an opinion without having vile comments thrown back at you If it doesn’t fit a narrative. Pretty certain nobody on here would call someone that in person if you were discussing at the pub.
It’s great to have robust discussions and disagreements but name calling is just silly.

For those referencing our League One form this season.
With Matt Bloomfield: P25 W15 D6 L4 F50 A27 GD+23 PTS 51 Win percentage: 60%
Without Matt Bloomfield: P5 W2 D3 L0 F6 A4 GD+2 PTS 9 Win percentage: 40%
Since Aaron Morley was recalled: P7 W2 D4 L1 F7 A6 GD+1 PTS 10 Win percentage: 29%
Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
Skura was fine, just doesn't bomb forward like we'd want. But we're a bit restricted there at the moment by injuries. Not ideal, I know, and perhaps we need to work out how to get around it better, but that's not on Skura. He's still a kid, let's not forget.

Re: Man of the Match - Crawley (A)
I think we'll agree to disagree because most of his passes went straight to Crawley in the game I watched. I also think it's interesting that we view him as a developing youth when he's the same age as Joe Low and Caleb Taylor, both of whom are many levels above him

Mansfield H, Bolton H, Charlton A, Huddersfield H.
all games very similar to today, oh and all before Blooms left, don’t rewrite history to suit your narrative
Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
Losing Kone is a major part of the problem.
The other problems:
- we’ve lost impetus by playing at Skura at right back given how we look to attack from full back positions. The returns of Pattenden or even Grimmer should sort this.
- Lack of a Morley. Hopefully Simmonds is the answer.
- Having a pre-game plan of attacking subs around the hour mark. “the finishers” made us a real threat in second half. No idea what the second half plan was today.
The three problems I’ve identified can hopefully be sorted easily.
The Kone problem can’t. Sadly we don’t know how long he is out for as the club seem to be a bit secretive on this (suggesting bad news) and his fitness does not seem to have been addressed in pressers.

I’d go a step further and say all football fans are vermin. BFK.
Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
Ainsworth and Bloomfield didn’t take over teams in second.
But in any case, it isn’t Dodds who has just signed a shedload of players who aren’t ready to contribute to our promotion battle.
