Crawley Town play at home against Walsall in League Two of the 2019/2020 season Saturday 28th September 3:00pm kick off. Please keep all discussion about the match to this thread. Thank you and come on you Reds!
No place for Palmer today, does he have an injury? also missing are the suspended Doherty along with McNerney, Nadesan, van Velzen, Francomb, Dacres-Cogley & Jones
Bit of a reality check - highlighting the two main weaknesses of the team, which are the fullbacks who all look like converted wingers who can’t defend; and then the lack of natural goalscorers up front if Ollie is out.
Otherwise it wasn’t a terrible performance, we looked the better team in midfield. But Walsall players put their bodies on the line blocking shot after shot whereas alas we allowed them time and space to put the ball past Morris in what seemed like their only 3 chances.
I like Bloomfield but he hasn’t got many goals in him and is more of a number 10 who needs to be paired with a fox in the box type like Nadeson.
Not many positives. If Colchester sent a scout they wont be overly concerned. Not enough desire or urgency to get back in the game. Defensively I thought the centre halves were often miles apart. Sessay had dire match. You cant pump balls up to Bloomfield in the way you can with Palmer - did Gabby adjust the style of play to bedt suit the team? I dont think so. Dissapointing. Yes points dropped may suggest no play off push this season but the performance especially defending arguably confirms matters. We of course must judge over the distance but each match we get nearer the finish line. Only one relegated at least we can relax that excludes Crawley this season. Bad day at the office.
I look at where we are in the table in 10th, and that’s exactly where we deserve to be IMHO given our performances this season. Very satisfied after what has been a number of disappointing seasons
I hear that Palmer has a serious ankle injury and Nadesan's injury is long term, our defence problems must be addressed,scoring two goals at home and not getting a point is not acceptable and will soon affect the morale of the club.Hopefully today was just a hiccup and normal service will be resumed.
