Lose the first League game and a match away at a Championship side and Crawley fans are chomping at the bit to call for Kewell's head. Let's sack him and let the same cycle repeat two games into the next manager's reign. Same old shit from the same old people. So embarrassing.
Who gave Sanoh a two-year deal? He looked awful last night and has no attributes for a winger - not particularly quick or agile and his first touch is crap as well. Lewis didn't offer much either, McNerney looked shaky in the first half too, whilst Kaby continually gave the ball away. Such a disjointed display.
People need to wake up and smell the coffee. Selim hasn't got a clue what he's doing. He was a marketing man at Coral. That does not make you qualified to make signings for a football club. 3 year deal for TV as well. Mindless. The bloke needs to realise this isn't football manger.Â
Is that same bloke that signed Camera, Evina, Bulman and Randall; all four of whom have recieved a fair bit of praise for their first few performances? If you're prepared to judge players after one game then Camera must be a superstar, for one...

and your useful input of HK success to date is what? Oh and before listing a few players names remind us all who sourced them...

Hk post match interview on twitter says f--- all about his selectionand same old mistakes and no admission of his part in the fiasco. If he is still manager in January I will be amazed. For someone with a wealth of playing experience he is increadibly thick.
Feel sorry for myself and the other fans that had made the journey AND also the players last night. 9 changes versus Birmingham, what chance did they have. Thinking Crawley can produce two sides that can compete at that level is either arrogance/stupidity or both. Any players that are close to the starting 11, maybe 1 or 2 of them could and should have been given a run out with the 1st team last night to give them half a chance. And also bring a few on towards the end to rest 1st team. How are we going to integrate the squad players into the 1st team when the only chance they get is when they get put out like lambs to the slaughter. Confidence must be shot. Did any other side (including championship) make that many changes last night? I'm not looking that up but I know the answer
Plymouth who were also stuffed by a championship side apparently made 9 changes as well, and their manager afterwards admitted to his mistakes in making so many changes, whereas HK seems to blame players mistakes but you cannot expect a seamless performance when there are two players left from the previous game! That is what I dont understand with all this obsession with "rotation". Maybe it is ok changing a few, or changing however many when you have a squad full of quality, but as we all saw last season alot of our fringe players are not really good enough for League 2, and they certainly should not be expected to put in a faultess performance when they are all thrown in together against a championship side? As for the Fulham 11 changes, were the players of comparable standard to our reserve side?
I thought that at 1-0 down we started to try and play some football and held it at that for a while. Seemed to play better for that time than most of saturdays game. Sadly the second goal was very soft and the quick free kick leading to the third was woeful and wouldn't be out of place at a park game. Kaby did not have a good night, not sure if any of his passes reached a red player, surprised me as before the game I was saying that I rated his composure and passing. Enzio was very good when he came on and if Camara doesn't start before the non mobile TV then I would seriously doubt HK on the tactical front. Some mentioned that Enzio was injured hence his substitution but seeing his movement and performance last night they were either wrong or he has miraculous powers of recovery.
Not that it would have changed the final outcome, and not seen any of the lowlights yet, but I think I've seen the worst decision I will see all season with the disallowed penalty call. Happy to be wrong but that decision looked shocking.
Never expected a win and I saw a better game than I did Saturday.

My point is there can be no possible plausible input after 2 competitive games, at least one of which we would never have been expected to win in a million years. If he won them both I wouldn't think we were going to be champions and if he lost them both I wouldn't think he was doomed.
The fickleness of Crawley fans has actually gone beyond charicature though. People are talking about a "relegation six pointer" as the second game of the season....
The same old people just sound like they are desperate for us to fail, as per. How about just giving someone a chance here, for once!?

The majority of those players were given countless chances last season and surely even you could see, they are just not good enough.
Okay Chaps, we are where we are... we have a manager with two games under his belt and he's made mistakes... he won't be the first or the last... fans have highlighted the aspects they are unhappy about... I have.. cos we have every right to do that as fee paying customers... but is the answer really to seek more change and disruption... I don't think so... we have to stick with it.
And yes some players did not do themselves justice last season... yet I'll name one who was a roaring success... Kaby... now I wasn't there but reports suggest he had a right stinker at Brum... do we write him off... course not...!
We pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and set our sights on beating Cheltenham... and if we don't beat them we at least try competing and improving... and we can't expect an overnight miracle, there is no magic formula, the only way is hard work, sticking together, stop sulking and giving it a real go.
That's fair enough. We need to get behind the boys on a Saturday for 3 big points. I do feel this is the right platform for people to raise concerns. I'll always support the players on a match day as I see it as counter product

ive to knock their confidence. I do have concerns that the style of play Harry clearly wants us to play is total football from the back ala Barca, man c. This isn't going to work in my opinion with the players and resources we have available. Not many English sides would be able to pull this off. Someone like joe mcN is a solid l2 defender. He's not someone that's going to be technically able to knock it around, and on tues a few fans were getting on his back for this. The players are only going to carry out instructions on style of play. Pointless moaning at them for overplaying.

Yes Fulham made 11...was that the answer you had?
Thanks for looking that up for me! I'll hold my hands up not the answer I expected! Fulham, red hot favourites to go up to Prem with around 50m wages budget, a fantastic youth set up so I guess they can get away with the changes. Plymouth also making 9 changes is a surprise. No surprise in them getting a 5-0 drubbing. Our boys didn't do too shabby in comparison.
