Possibly in the league but I'm sure either the game before Everton or the one after plus the Everton match we were unchanged, can't think which way round....Will check

This could be a different test for the Wood and Anderson partnership lots of quick passing and movement.

I remember from the reverse fixture their centre halves struggled to deal with Ironside. Him and Biamou off the bench should cause problems.

The first 20 minutes determines what happens today, they score, we lose. There is a blank sheet or Rovers score we win.

| Brilliant bit of work from Hakeeb Adelakun. Received a throw in, ghosted past a couple of defenders on the byline and almost sneaked a shot in at the near post.

Great chance for Crawley, good save from TLT then block by Woody, looked initially offside to me but a scare after we'd had some control of the game.

Finely poised. Just carry on being positive working hard and get fresh attacking guile on before levels drop.
Title: Re: Crawley v TLOD
Post by: Spud on March 29, 2024, 03:53:08 pm
Ht 0-0

Good game this, first goal is crucial.
We've defended well & created some half chances.
Bailey put some good tackles in, Craig best midfielder on the pitch. Biggins has made a nuisance of himself beyond the midfield, Haks not at his best, Moly dangerous. Can see Max replacing Joe after an hour maybe.
Looks like we have the wind in the second half, that goal mouth TLT will be in looks awful though, foot through it there Tim please.
Come on Rovers!

Good half by Rovers.Both teams have been denied by good saves.
Some really strange comments by Biltcliffe on commentary.
“Crawley have more players ver the ball than in the box” when Crawley had a free kick about thirty yards out.
No, they didn’t, they had four in the box and three around the ball.
Earlier Crawley had a goal kick which the defender took and passed the ball to their keeper. Biltcliffe said that it was very unusual to see that happen.
We do it several times a game.
