If only we had a defender with years of experience to play at the back with Lynch…
and a replacement for Lynch who was abysmal like the rest of the defence. Ludwig I have long said is not L2 std and today his performance must go down as one of not the worse ever performances in a red shirt. For a CH coming forward t head the ball he barely jumps and got beaten constantly. He was all over the place. Shocking and embarrassing.
That was one of the worst Crawley performances I have ever seen. No fight, no plan, no hope, GOING DOWN!!!
Schofield- 4/10 AKA flapper, worse than Corey
Lynch- 4/10 looked out of sorts
Conroy- 3/10 rubbish
Ludwig- 2/10 Was like he was playing on stilts, yet either couldn't win a header against a smaller guy or didn't challenge. So bad he came of mid-way through the first half
Tsaroulla- 5/10 Half decent going forward, but caught out of position at the back too many times
Gordon- 5.5/10 good going forward, not great defending
Roles- 4/10 some nice passes, but also gave the ball away far too often and doesn't get stuck in, doesn't look up to this level
Powell- 4/10- Far too casual on the ball, takes too long and deson't get stuck in
Nadesan- 2/10 Offered virtually nothing
Telford- 6/10- Scored a goal and tried to put himself about, but had little impact
Oteh- 6.5/10- put himself about and got stuck in, scored a goal and at least offered something to team
Khaleel- 6/10- did okay, tried to keep it simple, but nearly gifted them a goal
Fellows- 2/10- barely involved
Mason- Came on with a few mins to go so can't be rated
Today was a sign the fans have given up to, I'm not blaming the fans after all this was painful to watch, but so many left at 3-0 a third into a game of football and even the protest against WAGMI was barely audible. We scored a second goal and you could hear a pin drop. OK wasn't immediately obvious and up the other end but today we were beaten all over the place. I heard so many fans sound defeated as if we already have a foot in the Nat league and a chant of "Dorking Wanderers we're coming for you". For so many reasons a completely miserable depressing day made worse by a late comeback by Hartlepool to take a point. If only we had shown that fight.
I didn’t think we’d be able to find a keeper worse than Corey, but WAGMI are taking us to new heights. State of the pitch was awful just like the team. Jack Roles looks out of his depth, Powell prances around and doesn’t get stuck in. 2 full backs good going forward, but cannot defend. Conroy and Lynch beaten every time at the back. Nadesan anonymous. Ludwig couldn’t beat an egg let alone win a challenge. He was like a comedy character. Telford tried, but was outnumbered all the time. I have lost hope with team, no effort, no plan, we are going down!
The stewarding was OTT today that's also why so many left early - that's why there was no protest. The game was so bad where do I start? You need a solid defence but every defender had a nightmare. Tsaroulla- your first job to do is DEFEND FFS! Every player out there needs to have a long hard look at themselves. The only ok performances were Telford, Oteh, Khaleel- the rest of you stole a living today. As for Scotty- he gave up after 2-0 why? He needs sacking immediately.
What happened with the stewarding and no protest etc?
The usual you cant say boo to a goose. I think with fewer people its easier for them to get involved. Looking for something out of nothing. They didn't want a flag put over the advertising. Had it not said something about our owners, I'm sure it would have been fine. I think fans were just so p1ssed off they couldn't be bothered in the end. The club has done this before and fans stay away - they need to grow a pair and realise we need the fans here. At this rate you won't be able to pay fans to attend never mind 'giveaway' £2 games!

Agree with other comments. Awful performance, no fight against a very good team. No one who started the game played okay with possible exception of Tsaroulla. Best players were subs Khaleel and Oteh. Why doesn't Scott use subs more if starting team so poor. At least nine of our rivals won.
