Wrong selection IMO, Dolan, Ellison and Upson should not have started.
Play with back 4, Cain or Wilmott instead of Upson, Fisher or Greenidge instead of Elllison.
Need a result now Friday to keep in touch, Colchester have improved tonight.

62Well we got a point we didn't deserve thanks to Telford's predatory instincts. Our game deteriorated into a shambles once Dolan departed and we conceded soon after. Don't like being harsh on young player's just starting in the game but Cain was woeful. Must of been thinking he was playing for Liverpool youth as he kept passing to a man in red. Doesn't look ready for League football on that display. Confidence is obviously fragile amongst a lot of this team, as the second half was reminiscent of the Barrow capitulation.
A major test of Rowberry's man management ahead pf the Colchester match.

63Terrible display but hey a point for us. Day kept us in it.
Re: GRANDSTAND: Crawley Town (Away) Match Day thread
64The problem was Dolan can't pass to anybody with talent. He's a nightmare.OLDCROMWELLIAN wrote: November 23rd, 2021, 9:50 pm Well we got a point we didn't deserve thanks to Telford's predatory instincts.

65Really - Wilmott has Covid - have you seen Greenidge - CBR should have started and we fell apart after Dolan went off - we don’t have the players to play 442 effectively - there is no width in midfield without the wing backs.bedeck wrote: November 23rd, 2021, 9:50 pm Wrong selection IMO, Dolan, Ellison and Upson should not have started.

Poor second half lost shape and the young loan players looked a bit lost as did Azaz.
Re: GRANDSTAND: Crawley Town (Away) Match Day thread
66Well what an abysmal performance. In the second half we couldn’t string two passes together and constantly lost the ball cheaply.
Telford given no service, one chance one goal - a pearl amongst swine

67Get over this 5 at the back. Get rid of Dolan, get back to a back 4. Upson until Wilmott returns. But we started losing when Dolan returned.

70Not sure what all this anti Dolan stuff is all about
Re: GRANDSTAND: Crawley Town (Away) Match Day thread
71Surely Rowberry can't put that side out on Friday. There are going to have to be changes. Maybe as suggested above.
Re: GRANDSTAND: Crawley Town (Away) Match Day thread
73I'd go four at the back because we haven't got one real wing-back.Lost in Willesden wrote: November 23rd, 2021, 10:01 pmHow come everything fell apart when Dolan returned.County Exile wrote: November 23rd, 2021, 10:00 pm Lost in Willesden wrote:-

In the middle I'd promote Greenidge, sell Dolan and Bennet.
Up front, keep all of them.
But I'll be in the minority.
Re: GRANDSTAND: Crawley Town (Away) Match Day thread
74Urm, he came back...we lost. what's difficult to understand.?
Rowberry a young manger might be influenced. Don't be, son. Pop him on the transfer list.
Re: GRANDSTAND: Crawley Town (Away) Match Day thread
75Let’s not get carried away by one poor performance.We were slow,lethargic first half and abysmal second.No need to get rid of anybody just regroup.Robbie needs to come in Friday and why did CBR not start,a mystery.
