Crawley Afterthoughts


Recommended Posts

Well that was not the most enjoyable afternoon and have now had the benefit of watching the highlights and wondered what remedies others can think of.

 

The immediate post match report and what I'd heard from edited bits of DH 's interview suggested that we had come close to scoring several times which was not the feeling I had at the stadium.

 

DH is right that the ball was not played quickly enough and that the forward players were too static.

 

I thought Mellis showed positive signs in his brief 17 mins of having the extra drive and skill to move ahead quicker and then the other was that Murphy in the only short time I saw him at Leyton showed an ability to run into space and to draw players out of position.

 

Much as I like Joe Mills as a player I don't think he is a natural midfielder and was only a shadow of his full back potential yesterday.

 

It also seemed that we really missed Gerrard, just from the few games he has played the sort of free headers that lead to both Crawley goals did not happen.

 

It seems it is either that the forward players do not run into space or that the midfield and back players are not able to pass well enough- every time Connor Brown gets the ball he makes good initial progress and then goes sideways at best. I am not sure how much it is of the above and which needs more attention but interested to hear other views.

 

I can make the Sheff Utd game but plan on being at Coventry and home to Chesterfield.

 

Onwards and Upwards

My initial thoughts are:

 

-:censored: off Latics

-Suppose it was expected

-Whats the point of Jacob Mellis getting a wage

-:censored: off Latics

Yep. Went in with absolutely no expectations of getting a result and thus had a lovely day out in the sun with my mates (and Leeslover).

I get an answer to the question that had been bugging me for ages, so the day wasn't a total write off
