But we made very hard work of it, some awful misses. Glad we defended well and got the 3 points. Another terrible ref hough.
-
Anderson needs counselling. What on earth was he thinking? What was going through his mind? Beyond irresponsible.
-
He got there as soon as he could!
-
True is should have been 0-4 but what a gritty performance throughout the team .T’was the sort of tackle you would expect from Tom if he were to stumble out the Sal after a skinful .
Well done lads all of yer!
-
Best away performance from Rovers I've ever seen - against a VERY good side we outfought, out muscled, out blocked, out believed them. Awesome.

True , what was he thinking of. Fair enough if he denied a DOGSO but to do that 65 yards from goal must have needed a "rush of blood"
Broadband surely just needed to roll it square for 2-0 but ffs that was a great and deserved win

The 2nd half was tough on my nerves but this was compensated for by half the Crawley team doing headless chicken impersonations.

Got his wireless crossed.

Broadband possibly didn’t pick up the signal for the square pass.

We won despite some howling misses, some howling tackles and some howling decision-making from our players. It really is a mental test lower league football.*
*(but I enjoyed it)

I've never seen a refereeing decision like the one where he gave the free kick for Anderson's red card offence.
He'd played on for 30 seconds, they'd launched an attack and the play had moved on by 70 yards. Then he decided there was no advantage.
Shocking refereeing.
-
To be fair to Brodbent Max was in front of him and would have been offside.
Though am not sure he actually looked across.
What a gane though. Really enjoyed that.

I thought it was a 'bad' yellow card. Not a red.

No worse than the foul on Craig in the first half IMO.
-
Great win. Tough place to go and holding on with 10 is a great sign.
-
Massive win and 3 points. After that unbelievable miss by Max, he even nearly missed an easier chance with the goal, as he scuffed the shot.
However, I still want to see him at the Eco next season. Along with Hacks and TLT if possible.

Agreed. It was an awfully timed professional foul, but in no way dangerous. Can't complain because it was so late, but I'd expected a "yellow and absolutely final warning" decision.
-
It was a terrible tackle. Brain dead.

Just look at the historical red card record of this ref and assess his overall performance in the game and I'm afraid a red card was inevitable. Remember in the same incident he played on with a long advantage, let them complete their attack from where the foul was right into our box etc, then went to Tom, sent him off, then dragged it back to the half way line for the foul. You can't play on for 60 seconds and then wind it back....it's not rugby union...but this guy did. Remember he was also the ref for our Stockport mauling so he's not exactly a lucky omen.
-
It was a really bizarre piece of refereeing.
I know refs technically can play advantage then show a red card, but it’s really uncommon and not something I can recall seeing many times, if ever. Especially such a long advantage.
Pulling it back to the half way line was a really odd one though.
Like others, I thought it was a really poor challenge but would’ve got away with a yellow with a more lenient ref.
-

You’ve made half a dozen comments on today’s game and not one has been a positive one. After a performance like that.
I think you’re the one needing counselling
-
Definitely a red but don’t know how he can bring it back for a free kick when giving them a good 30second advantage
-
A bit harsh for a red imho, it's not as if the player was in a goal scoring position nor was it a bone breaker, just late, but I think Big Tom might have known exactly what he was doing and was confident that the ref would play advantage and he would only get a yellow.
-
We're officially now safe from relegation!
-

It wasn’t easy to judge whether we made them look average or they were just average. It’s hard to say they had a standout player and they didn’t really have more than what, one or two genuine chances? Their keeper looked suspect with his feet from the outset. They went through a phase in first half of winning ball quite deep and running into good space in front of our back line.

McCann also thought it was a yellow card.
-
I think Tom saw the chance to ‘do’ him in his own half and took it. Less chance of a red normally.
-

Daft and unnecessary comment, considering how we’ve defended the last 11 games.
Though I do think the time is ready to replace him next season (sadly)
-
Poor decision, it was late granted but not dangerous, more clumsy. What the ref did with the advantage was bizarre but not expected from an official like him. Not competent.
Massive game for us though and a well earned win. Keep going lads.

He's just 30 years old, still under contract, and is playing his best football for quite some time. Why on Earth would we want to replace him?
-
Crawley got away with a few bad challenges. And nothing from the ref.
-

Cracking win but far from best away performance we've ever done. But the lads deserved that win today they worked hard for it.

He’s been brilliant, him and wood are one of the main reasons we’re on this run

Tremendous win

The main reason is Wood and a Keeper with presence, have you not watched the last 3 years.stronger midfield (Craig) has helped too.
Can you imagine Wood and a young strong quick CH to take under his wing? Tom is a great lad but time calls, same with Rowe. We’re 15th in Division 4, there has to be some changes.
-
Anderson has been just as good as wood.
Both been superb

There's definitely some logic in your first sentence. The next 3 games, however, will certainly put the theory to the test.
-
Great win, Anderson made a mistake but has been superb for us since fit and alongside Wood.
Great enjoying weekends again!!
-
Absolutely not a red card, you can not play on to such an effect that there is a foul of such a red card offence to not stop play. Ref had a nightmare with that decision, possibly played to the crowd, strong yellow absolutely but not in this world a red, was a reckless challenge but didn't endanger opponent and doesn't appear to be above the ball challenge so imo not a red all day long.
-
Best away performance I can remember in years.
To say they are the second best form team in the league they didn’t lay a glove on us, even when we had 10 men!
-
I thought Crawley were decent. Similarly to the home game earlier in the season, they looked a tidy side, just a bit toothless.
It was a good game. Rovers played well though and were good value for a narrow win I reckon. Max’s goal at the end added a nice gloss to the result.
-
It’s a red card for me, but it’s the only decision I agreed with all game. Another horrific official unfortunately. I appreciate we are in the 4th division but surely we ought to expect better.
Rovers superb, though. Wood and Sterry in particularly defensively.
-
The ref, in line with many others, couldn’t calculate ten yards either. Just before the end we got a free kick in front of our seated area.
He got his foam spray out and drew lines about six yards from where Westbrooke was waiting to take the free kick.
-
Thought we played really well yesterday and I really enjoyed it. After a slow start we really upped our game and it was an end to end first half. Feared the worst with the red card and it was agonisingly tense thereafter but never because Crawley were that threatening - they had a few half chances and went close on a couple of occasions but we were never under the cosh like I expected us to be. The winning margin could and should really have been greater with the chances we had on the break.
