Crawley reserves 5 - 0 Albion reserves [Merged]

[severnside gull]

not the most important game of the season is it but embarrasing anyway. J-P Pitman the scorer so maybe elAbd and Vincelot at centre back isn't the answer just yet

Kuipers smothering save from Barnes on 19. 2nd best til then on bumpy and quite heavy pitch

I'm at work 10 minutes from Crawley, was just about to leave to catch 2nd half but then read this thread.. loosing to crawley!? With KLL, Buckley and Barnes playing!?

Forget the state of the pitch, that is woeful.

 

[leigull]

It's a reserve friendly, calm down!

 

[severnside gull]

"Only" the reserves but stronger than many of our first teams ao 0-2 def qualifies as embarrasing

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Isn't more of a fitness exercise for Buckley, Hoskins etc though? Chill out!

 

[seagully]

Surely more about fitness than the actual result?

 

[Originunknown]

its 2-0 now!? This will really boost the confidence for coventry... :'(

 

[Mellotron]

"bumpy pitch" + "injured players coming back to fitness" + "lower league team looking to take a bit of a scalp" = not a good combination.

 

[Wilka]

Lolol our multi million pound reserve sqaud are 3-0 down at Crawley.

 

[Mellotron]

3-0? Blimey.

 

[middletoenail]

Last thing we need is Buckley or Hoskins over working to get back into a worthless game, as they say its minutes in the bank!

 

[Originunknown]

Obviously good to ease the injured back into it but games like this aren't forgotten by the players. You would hope they'd want to play a bit of football, not concede goal after goal

Anyone who takes the scoreline remotely seriously should be f***ing shot.

It's a ressie game. For fitness purposes. THAT IS IT.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Oatway out. Sack the board.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

3-0? Blimey.

Spot on

 

[severnside gull]

Three down.

It was surely also planned as a confidence boost but all the quotes will be from gobby Evans about how much better they are it's hard to see the positives for the likes of LuaLua, Vincelot and Barnes who are fit and didn't need the game in the way that Hoskins, elAbd and Buckley maybe did.
This reserve side did after all cost us something in the order of £2m+ to compile.....................

 

[Ninja Elephant]

3-0 down

Fantastic.

Despite the fact it's a pointless reserve game, Steve Evans will probably now declare Crawley as the number one team in Sussex.
