Best Of

Skura playing well and Joe Low has done well when he’s been dragged out of position. Bradley heading everything as per yet we are still looking a bit open at the back. We need to get Humphreys on the ball a bit more

Hanging on. Against…. oh

The attitude of some of our fans doesn't exactly help newbies feel welcome sometimes. I remember the last game of the 17/18 season, against Stevenage where the club had attracted nearly 9000 to Adams Park. The fact it was a poor game wasn't a good start in terms of making newbies want to return! I was sat in the Frank Adams stand where a couple of cretins nearby spent most of the match slagging off the fact that a load of new people had dared to show up, to the extent that any in earshot must have decided they wouldn't bother coming back. Their second favourite topic was moaning that the game was getting in the way of their drinking. They had clearly had too many before the game.

Obviously most aren't that bad but comments here (and elsewhere) do tend to show that many of our own fans could help potential new fans feel welcome, instead of treating them with contempt. We all started somewhere, and many of those behaving this way may not have become fans had they been treated the same way at the start.

I was thinking how nothing we've seen first half suggests this team is promotion-chasing and if we do go up playing like that, we'll get battered every week. We really need creativity in the midfield. So far the only change that Dodds has made is to make us more long-ball... and Norris's distribution IS much weaker than I anticipated when we signed him.

We really need Simons second half to inject some creativity.

Plus points - Udoh looks accomplished and Skura is impressing (though I've noticed his throws to McCleary almost always end up with a Crawley player getting the second ball - that's something the new coaching team might want to work on).

All a bit uninspiring. Subs to win it?

Vokes scoring would be superb!

Shrewsbury 1-0 up against Bolton.

My word Crawley just need to fall over for a guaranteed FK.

I agree.

Fantastic performance so far really. Udoh the obvious standout but Skura very impressive too - doesn't look remotely out of position at RB.

Skura has been superb

Not sure I've ever seen Scowen give the ball away as much as he did first half, and Humphreys has plenty of room for improvement on that first half

Should win this though. Think I'd bring Taylor on for Low. Feels like he's a red card waiting to happen
