Crawley Town (H)

[masi 51]

Schumacher is mixing it up, doubt he knows his best team or best system...Liked Murphy at left back.

Schon will play better than he did today so i hope he gets another chance on the wing.

Desmond is simply too good at this level once he has the security of a full back behind him.....Sheehan can play that 10 and having Morley  to drop into that defence holding role can give Sheehan do just that. We are light up front and missed Collins today. Mcatee and Randall need to step up, spent big money on them and we need to see better.

Again would not give up on those two, they have both been quality elsewhere.

Think we need Santos back to make us  less vunerable through the middle, but only if he goes back to being just a defender.

Days like today you can count on one hand

The one being largely ineffectual in midfield and getting knocked off the ball every time he had a 50/50 😁

The one getting knocked about all the time.

How was Shooey reacting to all of the shithousery?

kept an eye on him

whole match he just stood there and watched, hands in pockets

no animation at all

Yeah, tbh 2 goals from defenders & a OG wasn't in the script 

Great game 

Point stands, need reinforcements at the top of the pitch bar Collins were limited 

I understand and agree with the point you were making mate.

Striker play was bobbins, whether it was McAtee or Vic. 

Although for some strange reason I was convinced Vic was going to bag the winner.

anyone seen the video of them coming off the Pitch

Their manager whining, 'you cant allow a quick free kick when there's a man down with a serious head injury', the same player that was up like the shot of a gun, and would have given Usain Bolt a run for his money chasing down the ref 🤣🤣, very serious 🤣, Priceless!!

It's just shithouse behaviour isn't it and deserves highlighting. 

I was amazed and delighted the ref allowed play to continue, well done him 👏

There was so much of that performance to fault. Not least that we were 3-1 down against a team next to bottom and for 20 minutes in second half their forwards looked miles better  than our options.

 

But… We changed formation 57 times in an attempt to find a way, remember at home to Exeter 2-0 down IE kept 5 at the back. 
We had a bit of luck , 99 times out a hundred the ref does not allow the quick free kick.!He was right to do so but brave of him.

TuTu looked unplayable last 20 minutes. The lad who got sent off only came on as fresh legs in the 64th minute. Morley showed versatility as the team changed, he was excellent. Sheehan best game I can remember.

I do not remember us scoring a later winner only gripe is would have preferred into to have been 100th minute 😎.

To see a team get so caught up in their shithousery they fucked the game up was brilliant. Seeing grown men hugging outside the ground was superb.

He did dick all for 101 of the 102 minutes. Albeit he did very well for his goal. 

As I said above, we all see games differently but that is just factually incorrect.  I couldn't disagree more with that comment if you'd said Southwood pulled off a load of fantastic saves (I don't recall him touching the ball with his hands 2nd half before the 100th minute).

Sheehan outstanding 1st as well as 2nd half, by some distance MOM IMO (Tutu turned the game but poor first 50 minutes).

[Ani]

That is shithousery

I think by that point he'd had enough of them slowing the game down at every opportunity 

Was most amusing to see their benches reaction to it

Most of the time I thought the ref was having the piss taken out of him but that, plus all the cards leading to a red, plus 12 minutes added on suggest he had the measure of them

What a great afternoon. I can't be arsed fretting about faults in the performance after such an exciting game and triumphant finish.

On the beers now and already raised a glass to those numpties in the north lower who left on 66 minutes when we were 1-3 down! 

Yes, what was all that about ?

Sounds daft but we were clearly in a shout, even at 3-1 down.

I was not at the match, listened to the commentary but my feeling at the end was they lost it by shit housing... 3-1 up and all you have to do is defend but they couldn't switch off... serves the bastards right 😉

Tutu brilliant second half, though should be advised not to cross the line back into our half, liability when he does. Sheehan tremendous late on, Morley also when dropped back in those late stages. 

All three goals of theirs were woeful on our part but fair play, they finished them all really well

Agree on Tutu comments.  Trouble is we don't have many players that aren't a liability in our own half!

Glad someone's mentioned the quality of their finishing.  Each time we conceded everyone around me going ape at the defence, and I'm thinking blimey could we even get a shot on target from those positions never mind hammer 3 unstoppable shots into the corner.  Credit to Crawley's front players, they were a handful, given our shortage of any physicality up front I'd happily take Hepburn-Murphy.

The fact that the lad who was dying also got up and ran over to argue suggests it was right.

Crikey some of those in game comments look at bit awry now 🤣. 

Tutu no good on the left, no goals in this team, where’s the spirit gone, we're simply not good enough to do it anymore. 

Well no, they don't.

Perfectly reasonable at the time.

Team wasn't performing very well.

They picked up substantially, and got their rewards. 

As suggested by the manager, there is still plenty to do.

Fortunately, it appears he has the tactical nous to change things and turn things around.

Still shadow boxing . 

Seen us come back from 3-1 down to win a few times , not sure when the last one was but remember Swindon X2 

I'm guessing not one person on here has seen 7 goals in one half of BW football - happy to be corrected!

It was such a wierd day, we even scored a header from open play. 

If anyone can remember the last feel free to share.

But McAtee didn’t play today 😉

So they go round their mothers gaff for Sunday dinner, young un sez , well i play for the premier league champions and regularly get on even if its as a sub.

 

The older brother sez, well i play for a 3rd tier team and regular get on as a sub OR the crowd hope i am subbed.

The mother sez, never mind hows them roasties?

They were good finishes but fuck me they were given so much time and space to get them in it was embarrassing 

[Mounts Kipper]

Could we go up via the play offs? That would be some achievement if we did. Redemption from last season Wembley non performance would be so sweet!

Today highlighted that Toal needs Santos next to him like every good man needs a wife.

He gets turned far too easily and to be honest always has done.

He normally got Santos covering his mistakes or averting attention.

That Hepburn chap that scored two....

He's exactly what we need!
