Lets hope if your ever unfortunate to have to have an operation your surgeon hasn't got the same attitude

I-follow decided to miss the last 3 minutes. Dis their player get booked along with Bogle?

Chwarae teg i Grawley they played very well.

Oh dear, pissed all over us today in almost every way despite us doing a lot of work. It just emphasised the gulf in quality for me. Absolutely no pluses for me but at least a reality check. They played the game properly, made the ball do the work.
Missed Wildig but without the press we looked awful and so did Nick today he was beaten from too far out and too often at his near post for my comfort, time for Maxted to be given a chance. As usual we have too many brittle players so too many injured as seems usual for us as GC has to shop in the bargain basement.
Not a great day for us at all.

Today showed why we struggle to be at the top end of the table. GC needs to get through this season and lose the players he doesn't want taking up squad places before he can move us on up.

We were second best in every aspect of the game. Crawley played simple training ground football and we chased shadows. Got what we deserved......nothing.

This was always a very tough fixture. Trying to do our pressing style in 32* weather against a possession based side was a recipe for disaster.

GC tried to adapt to this, the second half changes were okay and we had some moments where we could have hit in the break

But when the time came, there were so many silly errors. We are going to need to have an answer to possession based sides though especially away, as we are going to struggle otherwise

Reading this thread from the start it's interesting how posters were concerned about Townsend & it proved to be right. No Day to push him. Needs to be dropped for kickupthebum reasons alone.

I haven't seen the goals yet but were any of them down to playing a flat-back four with wing-backs, not full-backs?

Townsend yesterday

They can't recall him until january at the earliest. You can only recall inside transfer window
