That made me giggle Simon, i had actually forgotten most of the daft things i have been accused of over the years.
Vic was equally disappointed as myself with the lack of urgency & pride when we went behind, we have come to expect a better reaction, a bit more fight.
The last time I saw some fight at Crawley was when Azwar Majeed took someone on in the car park - I think around the time you were selling fanzines down the passage way?
Went to work straight after the game so a gap to posting. I wish I could say it allowed me time to calm down but I couldn't get any passion up after watching such a lack lustre display. Oldham did what away teams do. Sat in their positions and tried to sneak a goal. We have no clue of how to break it down.
Two big problems I saw yesterday were not having anyone running beyond Palmer. What's the point of having a target man if there's no one to play off him. As other people have said, the other big problem is slow build up play coupled with an unwillingness to cross the ball.
I will just give Cioffe a slapped wrist too. Bringing in Nathaniel-Grant as an attacking threat only then to make him play as a full back is not a good tactical plan.

I cannot recall the last time I saw the stadium empty so quickly especially after the 3rd goal but even before that - if the owners ever attend they must be very concerned on the way fans are turning their backs on the club. Next season its going to be difficult to keep loyal fans never mind increase attendances. I expect season ticket prices to be maintained any increase would be suicidal for the club.
Hang onto your keyboards, i am going to attempt to make a case for Pooch... not easy as Royboy is right, he does go down blind alleys & not get forward enough...
...but i would argue that he won more ball than anyone else & offered our only piece of attacking brilliance, when he was denied by an outstanding save.
He made his breakthrough by making things happen with his ability to disrupt the opposition back line & that is the issue, he is playing far too deep, get him higher up the pitch & unleash the hound...!

www.crawleytownfc.com/news/2019/february/9.2-gaby-post-oldham/ Firstly why is he whispering? Secondly we all know we blow hot and cold, what the fvck are you doing about that? Thirdly, when he talks about signing another young player he appears to struggle to remember who, maybe that sums this all up, puppet on a string.

agree Thad, my gripe is when he gives it away or simply goes back and sideways, he never drives or passes forward

I agree, I think we should start with Willock next week instead.
I would also say Camara covers the ground of two players defensively. It wasn't his best yesterday but still looked the most likely to do something with the ball.
Cioffi sounds like a broken man. Have my doubts about him but equally who else is going to do any better. Players just didn't look desperate to win yesterday from first minute.

he has the most tackles in the league if I’m correct?
Very valid, the only times we looked dangerous were when we moved it quickly, we give opposition defences plenty of time to set themselves up.
We got a free kick 5 yards back from the corner of their area when we were chasing the game, the big guys went forward... but we did not sling it in, instead we fartarsed about & eventually lost it... just so frustrating.
Had a word with a sprightly looking Vic Marley after the match, he joked about giving Evans a call... well, I think he was joking...(?)
