Sparrow Joins Crawley (merged threads)

[Pavilionaire]

Great signing for Crawley, good luck to Matt.

That was a very enjoyable away trip it's fair to say, especially after all the bitterness about the Greer deal.

And lets not forget the goal against Saints.

Indeed.

"Where's your captain gone?"

A couple of superb braces that'll live long in the memory - cheers Matt.

sparrow has improved massively since playing under gus. do crawley play good football? i havent seen them play ever?

cheers sparrow for the wonder strike against saints! never forget that game. an absolutely brilliant day!

 

[leigull]

Delighted for Sparrow that he's finally got out of here, not sure what he did to upset Gus but he deserves to be playing football and not frozen out so am glad he's finally getting that chance again

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Really pleased he has finally got fixed up with a club. He put in some decent workmanlike performances last season & can count himself unlucky not to have played a role this season.

Matt is a good signing for Crawley.

 

[Steve Foster]

Delighted for Sparrow & Crawley.

Think ill pop along & watch him when Albion are away

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

I've certainly never understood what Hammond offers us, for example, that Sparrow doesn't, and Sparrow is more mobile of the two. Good luck, Matt - an integral part of a championship-winning side, a good player and, as people have mentioned, provider of some fabulous memories.

 

[Djmiles]

Agree with most of what has been said. Great signing for Crawley, and I wish him all the best. Decent player who perhaps didn't get much of a run (especially last season). Good luck Matt.

 

[catfish]

Excellent signing for Crawley. Good luck to him.

 

[TheMajor]

Good luck to him. I will always remember his two goals at Swindon that got the Gus bus rolling.

plus the two against Southampton - one of the Amex's best days to date.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Why did he and Vincelot fall out of favour?

Stupid red cards I think... Sparrow certainly didn't help himself end of last season

I think this is right. That red card straight after he'd come back from his previous ban seemed to be the end.

 

[JJ McClure]

Pleased for Matt as I know he wanted to stay down this way. Crawley have got themselves a good box to box player there.

"There is absolutely no chance you'll beat us today. None. We were really unlucky in the play-off final and should be playing in the Championship, you're just a midtable team not really going anywhere. Poyet is a big name but not necessarily a good manager and the players you've signed aren't exactly brilliant are they. Greer's not as good as you think he is and he's not playing anyway. Ankergren always struggles at the CG (County Ground) and we've strengthened the team. It will be a comfortable home win on our way to Promotion this season. I don't mean to be rude and I'm sure you've got a chance of making the play offs if you can get Murray fit and El-Abd or Elphick can cover for Greer when he makes his mistakes. But we're a better team than you are and we'll finish above you, deffinitely."

I searched through Facebook to find that quote. It keeps me warm at night. She didn't reply to any texts during the game and I got a misely, "1 down, 45 to go" or something like it afterward.

Sparrowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Good move for Spaz

 

[Husty]

Yes?

He rarely featured for us in L1...

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Sparrow to Crawley

He struggled with form, one game would be brilliant the next completely anonymous and got sent off everytime he looked to have a decent run of games in the side- he gave us some great moments but lets not pretend that he ripped league 1 apart or that he should have a place in our team now.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Hmm... Strange how memory can be distorted even in a short amount of time. Even so, the 'rare' occasions he did feature for us, he was good, no? Charlton away being one example.
