Crawley Match Thread

Quoted from thefish

Dieseruvwe at Notts County seemed to work…

Yes and then we rewarded him by releasing him and going back to  young loanees.

Tonight was a demonstration of exactly why a lot of fans were annoyed at our transfer window. It’s so painfully obvious where we lack & it’s so frustrating because we’re not that far off

Quoted from 123614

After 45 years of drinking for England, I have been teetotal for the last 12 years, also I wouldn't be seen dead in the Volunteer Arms.  

Had my first legal pint in there in 1967 on my birthday. Knew the landlord's son. We nipped across from the Grammar School at lunchtime via the back door.

Behaviour unbecoming for a prefect!  Never been since.

None of our subs made an impact, not one...  having said that,  we were screaming out for subs v. Walsall....  but we shudda been 4 or 5 ahead before the "penalty"....  hey ho.... on we go...  Hurst must already know of at least 4 or 5 who will not be here next season...

That was the most one sided game I have seen for a long time we were outstanding but so so frustrating in and around the box . If we don't get a goalscorer or maybe two then it will be nothing short if an insult to the fans after this season's exploits .

Another hard watch after the subs came on.

Lloyd, McAtee and Khan were running them ragged, and then Clifton alongside Morris gave the midfield the hardness needed.

So many chances wasted, but Morris and Lloyd both had bad luck with their efforts.

Crawley's subs seemed to speed their game up and they started running at us for the first time in the game.

Scannell was really rusty and showed why Hurst has not used him.

Once we stopped attacking them high up, it seemed that we would have a long hard last 15 minutes, and it proved to be just that problem.

Sadly , another 2 points lost, after 70 tremendous quality passing and attacking minutes.  Unfortunately, matches last for 90 + minutes  so concentration and marking high up needs to last that long.

Hurst must be frustrated that so much good play can suddenly disintegrate so quickly !! !

Will be massive if Paul can motivate his players in the next game, after botching them up in the last.
How does he?
But, eventually he does.

I think you can double that number

“Insult to the fans” ….. classic!

Just a reminder that Dieseruvwe is being outscored by both Lenny and Amond in the NL.

Dieseruvwe will deservedly go down in Fishy folklore but signing him would have had little impact on our position this season.

Lenny was and remains a far better player, even though his shop front is faded by age. Whilst Lenny’s time as a L2 player is long gone, I find it a bit weird that people still clamour for Dieseruvwe, whilst Lenny was often derided.
