Thought bulman had a knock, we desperately needed him today. Looks like it’s Vincelot Morais and Smith version 2. If we lose to Colchester then the club and cioffi need to have serious words
We were completely outplayed and outfought. I do not agree that our oponents have now found our weaknesses, the whole team appeared to lack ideas and passion. There was no organization and our midfield was unable to get into the game. Camara was poor today, he seems to have gone backwards in the last couple of matches.
On a positive point, The last team that i have seen play this bad at the Broadfield was Bournmouth. They were able to move on. Can we?

What did Bournemouth do that very next morning after their 3-1 defeat at The Broadfield stadium?
Clearly bigger issues at play here. The players just don’t seem to be up for it anymore. Ferguson has to be the least bothered player I’ve ever seen in a Crawley shirt. Rumours swirling of a fallout with Bulman and Cioffi. If that’s true, the club has to let Cioffi go. The number of senior players he’s fallen out with/ moved on in the past year is a disgrace.
Contender for worst performance of season so far h/t 0-2; team lacks balance, shape, ball winners a smith/payne/bullman type. Both team struck woodwork but if we dont change something a 5-0 defeat wouldnt surprise me.
Sadly there was only one team on the pitch, and they were from Swindon.
A pathetic effort from the red team, absolute rubbish. This season we have been the best I've seen for years, but today was awful.
...shameful performance... we could not even do the simple basic things & our team looked as though they were a bunch of drunk strangers, who had accidentally stumbled into a speed-dating event.
I must agree with most of the posters on here to describe todays performance it was so bad I am at a loss for words to describe it. To sack the manager on Monday would be counter productive with the game we have coming up on Tuesday but if its a repeat performance and he cant get them up for it then I think it should be a serious consideration. Yet again we seem to have a manager who if the rumours are correct will not stand any criticism or opinions from any of his players and if they dare speak up are either frozen out or sent on loan. I used to think his problem was he did not have a plan B or C but today he did not seem to have a plan A or any idea on how to set the team up to show some fight. Since the excellent performance against Stoke he seems to off lost the ability to motivate the team for the bread and butter league games. If we have more of the same on Tuesday then the owners have to make some serious decisions or we will be in a relegation fight before we know it. The answer is he has to go.

I think you have articulated the crucial concern perfectly Trev. It is not just the result today.
We have put all of our hopes on playing a certain way... and we need to - at the very least - demonstrate elementary competence with that style, in any conditions, against any opposition.
Today was awful but I think it’s been coming for a while. There is clearly something wrong within. Apart from the experienced players who have gone out on loan now a Bulman and Francombe have disappeared. There is never a plan B and subs are either too late or pointless. It seems that if you question our “DNA” then you are frozen out. I think that the likes of Smith and co are right and the board need to take a look before it’s too late.
Poor performance by all means but a few players gave their all out there today...
...that will be the Swindon players in the 1st half... but even they were strolling it around in the 2nd half...!
I just cannot agree that ANY of our players put the required effort in, even live-wires like RGC & ANG looked lethargic. We had completely given up with 20 minutes left.

I've just typed something much longer, but when I read it back I couldn't be arsed to post. In summary: what a pile of shit.
Good support today too from the East Stand. Team and management didn't deserve it.
