Crawley Town (A)

[matty2094]

Only just realised that it’s a half 12 kick off after playing Arsenal away midweek. Very quick turnaround. Does that alter team selection for the cup game or do we go full strength? 
 

I think they probably all deserve a chance to go up against one of the country’s big boys but it can’t go costing us against Crawley. 
 

Heart says win, head says draw. 

[Casino]

I think we win

[Leyther_Matt]

Full strength for both, particularly as you’d assume the team will stay down there for the duration.

A positive performance on Wednesday and a win on Saturday and I think folk will be largely back on board. 

[Ani]

Weds does not matter. Saturday does. 

[Rival Son]

In your opinion. In my opinion, both games matter. A good cup performance can give confidence, promote players and the club, and raise a few quid.

[radcliffe white]

Still not feeling it enough to go, happy to watch on tele

hope those go get rewarded

Must win. Another positive of yesterday was the results in the division. Hopefully a few more odd weeks and we can be back in the sniff, if we deliver our bit.

[marple whites]

Sack the cup game, all in for this.

7-00 train from Stockport

I have no idea who I want to win or lose in our division apart from Wigan

Anyone above us to lose if we win. Anyone below us if we lose😂

The more draws the better for me, it's only 2 points against us rather than 3 for a result.  I do think Brum & Huddersfield will be the 2 to catch though .

Anyway, IN, staying darn sarf after Arsenal, & Crawley is the one that matters.

If you had to choose to win one, which one would it be ?

I know it is not a real option, but I would take 3 points on Saturday ahead of a win Weds by a country mile. 

[Big E]

Any win will do. 
 

how am I watching it abroad ?

I’ll go for 2-0

Not 0-2?

That would be massively 1 step forward, 10 steps back with ad Infinitum Groundhog Day repeat posts

Think I’d bow out for a while on here if that happened.

Not decided to who yet.

[Arrested development]

I'd expect Collins and Mcatee to start against Arsenal. Forino too.

This is the Crawley Town thread

[VividDreamer]

Strong feeling we win this comfortably. 0-3

[boltonboris]

I think we’ll lose this. Regardless of form, I think it’s the kind of game we’d lose anyway. Long distance after a Wednesday night game against a top side. 
 

got defeat written all over it in my opinion. I’m presuming we’ll be staying over for a few nights to help with the travel issues?

"top side"?

[Dr. Feelgood]

How does this operate for the team ?

Playing in Islington till nearly 10pm on Wednesday night, noon kick-off on Saturday, near Gatwick.

Recognising the two teams will have quite a few changes, do they return home, to go back down 24hrs later or stay South ?
