Crawley Town play at home to Forest Green Rovers in League Two of the 2019/2020 season, Saturday 4th January 2020 3:00 pm kick off. Please keep all discussion about the match to this thread. Thank you and come on you Reds!
Rovers have got past our defence a few times but weve had a couple of good attacks too. Not much in this apart from Bez scoring into an empty net. Good to see a few more in the BW stand.
What clown thought it was a good idea to give the player that scores an OG MOM? Palmer thought he could walk it in and failed. Desperately missed width crosses and Greggo-Cox and Young. In the end Rovers somewhat unfortunate not to win that. We barely caused problems for them second half. Bullman excellent as was Morris. BW stand sing song brilliant.
Allarakhia impressed me once again when he came on, I cannot understand why he is not used more.Good tactical change by Yems going to three at the back and pushing out Cogs and Doherty as wing backs as we were getting over run by their wide players and it gave us good attacking options.
Side looks so much better than what we watched in November. Good open game against a good side while Morris pulled off a great save we should have done better at the other end. Palmer was too selfish twice today the second could have been a goal if had squared it. Amazing Josh Doherty did not get a card he loves diving in. We are not far off being a good side. Yems has made us hard to beat that is for sure

Exactly Palmer cost us 2 points today. I agree Yems has moved us up a gear and the fact there were more behind the BW today in good voice is indication the performances and results will bring fans back. The "JY red and white army" mustve been sung for 10 mins non-stop. Great stuff guys.
Mixed feelings about today. FGR were a good team who lacked a finisher to kill us off, but we deserved at least a point from that game. First half was fairly even and we scored a somewhat fortuitous goal after a mistake at the back to go in 1-0 at HT. Second half we made a poor mistake to head into our own net what appeared to be a run of mill cross or shot that the keeper could have dealt with and from then on we sat back and held out for a draw. I’d say a point gained considering the circumstances, but we need to do much more going forward, at least at the back we look fairly solid now.
Nadesan and Palmer need to work together. Today the could have had three goals between them if they weren’t so selfish.
Im not convinced anyone can play alongside Palmer. I still think he often plays his own game detached from others. However, I believe when he was out the starting team the results and performances dipped even lower. Add to the mix though that mightve been because Cioffi never had a plan B to play without him. As for Nadesan I saw some energy and pace and invention of sure and steady improvement.
