Crawley v franchise

[Copps is Magic]

Crawley one up. Open game so far.

[Fal]

Don’t think crawlers keeper will be doing that walk to the halfway line anymore after that initial scare

[phil o sophical]

So there's confident and then there's Crawley's keeper. Can't help but feeling he's going to come unstuck if he carries on like this

He will if Biggins sees it....

[Guernsey Exile]

Crawley look the most dangerous but neither look too good

[Copps is Magic]

Surprised how much of the game MK are giving to them...

[The Dav]

Who would we prefer in then the final ?

[Copps is Magic]

2-0

[Fal]

Crawley playing really well on this first half, mk dons not so great

[RoversInSpain]

Crawley look very very good. Quick, energetic, passing well, look 20 years younger than a very ploddish MK.

I was hoping for Crawley as franchise finished 4th but on this showing I’m not so sure?? Hopefully it won’t make any difference to us!!!

I haven’t seen much of them but I think Crawley are very easy on the eye if/when you allow them to be.

Full confidence we will have too much for them (if it’s them)

[DRNaith]

I'm hoping for lots of (non-serious) injuries for both teams, and a few red cards.

Joking aside, I haven't seen anything that scares me, from either side.

I thought Crawley were decent when we played them, we just about deserved the 2-0 win, with some big missed chances in the match, but they were unlucky not to score a couple themselves. Definitely played good passing football.

[dknward2]

Definitely need three straight reds for both sides in both games so they are even weaker when we play them

We play good passing football but we can mix it up and go direct to devastating effect too. That’s why we’re so good.

Mk dons looked poor defensively for both goals

[Upton Rover]

Before this game, you would have prayed for a Rover’s v Crawley final

[ChrisBx]

3-0. Didn't see this coming!

[Donnyjim]

Creepie in the final if we make it

[phil o sophical]

3-0. Didn't see this coming!

I bet franchise FC didn't see it coming either

[PDX_Rover]

Bit of luck with the deflection but a lovely passage of play leading up to it the third goal.

[Copps is Magic]

Franchise haven't turned up. Hard to judge Crawley when the opposition offer nothing.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Crawley a tidy side. As we've seen twice they're more than beatable.  Quite pleased as mk were favourites for me.  But still a long way to go.

[roverstillidie91]

Sheffield wednesday came back from 4-0 down last year and if Crewe score the first goal on Friday then it will be game on.

Still the second half to play yet.

Be a totally different game if we progress to Wembley.

Depends who can handle the pressure the most.

[RoversInSpain]

Saying Mk didn’t turn up is a total disservice to Crawley.
Thank god we didn’t play them tonight, they’ve been immense.

[steve@dcfd]

3-0. Didn't see this coming!

Not that score but I’ve always said Mk are not good defensively

[RoversInSpain]

Some of the MK players look like they’re going to burst into tears. They’ve been completely done tonight.

There's a massive difference though, in that the Owls were at home for their come back, whereas Crewe are away in a packed hostile stadium.

You're right though that we'll have to be on our mettle. We've not won yet.
