Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
Orient are 10 points behind us, and their next 3 are all away. Wrexham, Bolton, Birmingham.
If they go past us they'll certainly be deserving of going up!

Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
I mentioned it before the game but we desperately need Grimmer or Pattenden back. Skura is a great young prospect at CB but is not a top half league one full back. Too many moves broke down on his side, while he doesn't have the dynamism to push forward.
Big week ahead. 6 points at AP needed.

Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
Only if we go back to the kind of slick passing football that we enjoyed under Matt Bloomfield. Crawley were much more physically aggressive than I remember them but l’m far from convinced that we weren’t the initiators in that respect. We were helter skelter ganging up aggressively against their midfield from the start.
Hard to believe that the substitutions were left so late. Not sure that Sam Vokes brief appearance qualifies as a green shoot and to describe Gideon Kodua as not being League 2 promotion standard is nonsense. He has shown loads of potential in his few cameo appearances and deserved to get far more than 10 minutes. Fred was getting nowhere.
That looked a sad shadow of the personnel and performances that took us to the top. Very discouraging but let’s hope Mike Dodds is a quick learner.

Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
Your posts are just getting a bit repetitive and boring post Blooms. Life moves on.
Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
Yep, we shouldn't make the mistake of saying we were playing champagne football and battering everyone in the latter days of the Bloomy run. The goal wheels had definitely slowed down, with a couple of away game exceptions.
Only 2 games in under the new mana...sorry head coach.
I believe the accepted time to panic is after a 3rd game. So see you back here late Tue.

Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
Not at all, Shev. It's just coming across as deliberate baiting from you. It's not a good look.

Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
I agree with this . It only confuses me even more as to why we started with the eleven we did today though . We desperately needed to freshen up . Did so ,then we don't play them .
