HT 1-1. Dull game of little chances so far. Fairly even so far. Walsall took the lead after an error by Craig let a long ball run through to the Walsall player unopposed to score one on one. Crawley equalised shortly after when Francomb won the ball in the midfield and ran forward unopposed into the opposition box squaring the ball for the on rushing Nichols to blast home from inside the six yard box. Few times Walsall have got in behind on the long balls, something we need to work on for sure.
Can Nadeson and Davies collide with each other again but this time in the Walsall pen area and the ref can give us a penalty. Shocking referee constantly getting in the way of the ball too.
I think this was a fair shout our defending did look all over the place at times. In the end a fair result although Walsall had far more of the ball and really missed an absolute sitter.
Looks as though we went to five across the middle in the second half. Good tactic if we could have passed the ball to Nichols and then joined in. Seems a shame we didn't really.
Sometimes the weather and the fates are against you. When that happens you can only roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.
FT 1-1. Reasonable performance and game in the end.First half was quite dull. Walsall goal came from a long ball after Craig missed the ball and the Walsall player slotted it in one on one. Nichols equaliser from inside the system yard box after Francomb stole the ball in midfield and ran into the penalty area squaring it to the on rushing Nichols to score.
Second half Walsall had more of the ball and more chances, but Crawley defended reasonably well and providing a threat going forward at times. In the end both teams cancelled each other out and a point each was about right.
