We’ve stopped getting the ball out wide and have lost any form of threat.

Why didn't we keep attacking them, Green was isolated at times and the ball just kept coming back.
It was only a matter of time before they scored.

This is where the manager needs to earn his corn at half time and sort it.

Vernam has the better of their full back. We stopped getting the ball out to him and he drifted deeper to get the ball.

A good start from us with the early goal then further pressure but the ref successfully stopped our impetus by penalising Green every time the ball went near him then getting another half a dozen decisions wrong in quick succession.

A pity Green's effort was saved as we needed it. They've got well on top in midfield and, though they haven't been peppering our goal, have been very much in charge for the last 25 minutes of the half. Taller, quicker, more athletic and skilful than us in midfield and that's where they are winning it. Equaliser a bit soft but it was a clever ball from their No. 12 who is their playmaker.

Need to get a grip in midfield this second half and get Vernham and Wright involved once again.

Green looks to be struggling a bit after that shot was saved but I'm not sure Ogbu would do much better with this referee. Their defenders are desperate to claim any contact in an aerial challenge as an elbow, their No. 5 in particular is complaining about everything.

You can sum that first half quite easily can't you.

First 15-20 minutes, pressing high, moving the ball on the deck getting it wide quickly. Scored a goal, looked comfortable and in control.

Last 25-30 minutes stopped pressing high, midfield back to defending the edge of the box, letting Crawley pass and move at will, hoofing the ball up to Green who is issolated and alone. result, conceded a messy goal from shocking defending.

Special mention to Crawleys 12th man in yellow. He hasn't half picked a side has he, Greens constant fouling at any high ball hasn't helped but untill that last 5 minutes or so you would of thought he'd forgotten he can blow the whistle when they made a foul wouldn't you.

Hope Limbrick give them a good bollocking for going back to old ways at the end of that half and we come out and start attacking Crawley all over the pitch.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Ref is shocking, missed blatent penalty from our  free kick around 40 mins mark. Green being held back for at leadt 5 secs while running into the box, worst part is it was obviously in the refs line of sight  -  was comparable to the Braintree pen.in playoff

Promising start predictable finish.
