Crawley Town FC (A) match Thread

We're poor when it comes to chasing games.

[Jonty]

I’m looking at the stats. We’ve totally dominated everything second half.

Ball possession, corners and free kicks mean absolutely nothing if the quality of said things is shite.

That bad?

I told you this would happen before a ball was kicked today. We cannot even get a draw when we fall behind. Teams know that now and defend in depth. I knew what the score would be after we conceded in the 6th min. We have simply got to sort this out. I see Stockport did it coming from behind to win. We are incapable of doing it.

Ive nevr been awy before and nseen us dominat a match and get nothing like this

Looks like the beer was good though Mall

[sambino]

Anyone know why the goal was disallowed?

[McMark]

We chase games like an aging arthritic dog chases youthful cats!

Not sure but in his post-match interview now Pete Wild has said there was a handball and it should have been a penalty having watched a replay on video.

[MisterPleasant]

Basically, Wild saying we lost it in first 20 minutes. We did not come out of the blocks. Injuries: Foley back spasms, 70% fit but wants him spot on.

[McMark]

As always it’s fine margins if your not quite on your game in this league you nearly always get punished.

First thing I thought when they scored early on was that there was still a long way to go to get back into it but maybe the team has a mental block when we go one down and we end up rushing it. Teams are happy to let us get more and more frustrated and they can mop it up. In these situations I hope we can maybe nick one from a set piece but despite Waters scoring three from corners the other week I actually think our corners / set piece routines have generally been poor and we have no one good in the air.

Jesus we were poor, but Crawley were the worst team I’ve ever witnessed at this level.

[behind the goals]

Like Pete said before the game very good side Crawley, bottom 6 all lost and still 19pts ahead of Hartlepool + goal difference so not all bad.

[Methuselah]

Why oh why are we so easily caught out at the beginning of games.Our defending is poor.Until we start to convert these corners into goals we are always going to be chasing the game.It doesn't matter how much possession we have if we don,t make use of it.

And whose the ones with the 3 points.

Stupid comment

Aye but we all know one defeat and a lot on this forum
“catastrophize“ the situation when there is really no need. On to Hartlepool at home next week we go.
