Are Crawley better than The Albion?

Seriously, sit down and have a word with yourself.

 

[London Irish]

Crawley players who could get into our team

Jensen, I think is better than Stockdale
Walsh, Palace were after him, £750k-rated defender
Simpson, attacking midfielder on a par with Stephens
McLeod, better than COG

That's probably it but such is the disarray at the moment I think the teams are very close.

Wes Thomas goalscorer for Brum couldn't get into the Crawley team 2-3 seasons ago

Serious question. Went to the Broadfield Stadium pre season to watch the Crawley/BHA match.
We were second best for most of the match & if it wasn't for a Lua Lua wonder strike would have lost. Okay it was only a friendly, however, even pre season we witnessed an Albion team deficient in so many areas.

Since then Crawley played two league games & won both. And they beat Ipswich in the cup.

For a club that survives on 1/6 of our revenue at best, there scouting system & achievements are head and shoulders over us, even if there are facilities are a joke.

Has the difference in class on the field between the two sides ever been so close?
I honestly don't think so.

Could Crawley be, or ever be the Number one football club in Sussex?

Not looking good for Crawley in League 1, is it ?

At this rate they'll be playing the likes of Accrington and Portsmouth next year.

When was the last time we only had one goal keeper on the books? And couldn't fill the subs bench?

Are you implying that this was some "toys out of pram", "knee jerk","complete nonsense" or "bedwetting" kind of thread!

Considering they had an outfield player in goal, they did well to only let in two against high flying MKDons. Unlucky not to get the full 3 points

They only named 5 subs and knowing they only had 1 keeper surely the answer was to sign their GK coach as a player or even FDM for a month as cover or get Ankergren on a 1 month emergency loan.

They could but they don't have a goalkeeping coach

Up & till December, it was highly probable that the Albion would be playing their football in league 1 next season & not inconceivable that Crawley could go up. Now the natural gap between the teams is more apparent & looking as if there will be two leagues between the teams next campaign. Still a long way to go

Earlier this season we looked like relegation fodder & Crawley promotion candidates. We have improved marginally & Crawley fallen away badly. The differences between teams at times is not that vast. Look at today's FA Cup results.

 

[portslade seagull]

Crawley going back to where they belong

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Bottom of League 1, and now 3 - 0 down to Chesterfield.

Dear oh dear

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Shame

I'm not sure Crawley have "fallen away badly". They weren't much cop for much of last season and their decline has continued. It's no surprise to see them where they are.

That post on this thread claiming Brian Jensen is better than Stockdale is a bit embarrassing now. Not one of those four players named would get in our (still relegation threatened) side.

 

[Hampster Gull]

You're having a laugh. Different league. Literally.

Crawley sign Pogba. So much for FFP.
