Morning all.
A quick turnaround again. Another disappointing result and not one we were looking for saturday. With a loss and a draw surely a win is now on the cards?
Cambridge will present a physical presence and one in which we'll need to keep our wits about us.
Points scorers from saturday. Donaldo and Mooligan pick up 8 each for the correct score and result
Uthred picks up 3 for the correct result. For the crowd of a poor 4327 only myself was a points scorer 3 in total. As ive mentioned before they should really be shutting 2 of the stands down. Giving crawley a whole end for 100 supporters is baffling. Anyway tonight unless he changes the formation and Williams starts firing i see another draw on the cards 2-2 with Blair scoring first crowd another poor 4000.
Mooligan 16
Uthred 16

Not sure why Rowe or Copps doesnt take the role of pen taker inparticular the former in future. With our play and the defenders we'll be up against we could get a few.

I agree azza re Rowe.
But 26 u have to b joking.
Always runs a mile when it pen shoot out time.
You have 2 have a pair

Hound i just couldn't see a need to sit Houghton there last night.
Really hope the goal helps Marquis confidence
Good save from the keeper late on on the post but he should have put it on the gound defo goal then.
The pen was a shocker.
Even if the keeper goes left or right his feet are going to centre goal on the floor 3 feet in the air yes but centre on the floor no..
26 did well.
Wright looks ok.
Evina has 2 start.
The others did ok.
But Butler.
Maybe DF may reflect dropping him last season may of cost us dearly

Oh and nice to see a decent ref

First good performance since January. I didn't see the first game but was told AS were poor. Certainly Crawley were limited and Cambridge, bar the keeper, looked worse. Man for man we clearly have a good squad and last night we had a hatful of chances. Playing 4-1-3-2 helps. Hallelujah!

Butler was outstanding all game and that late clearance was fantastic.
Copps will take the next penalty, mark my words.
You are correct Lanza about the pen, if you go central you have to go high as well.
Not sure about the ref though.
He was ok first half but far too fussy second half.
Lots of whistling and too many unneccasery cards.

May I just add that our new formation worked a treat.
The three of us that regularly go to the match re arranged our seating order.
I always go down the middle but the lad who sits on the right of me swapped with the lad who usually sits on the right.
That obviously contributed massively to the team performance, not that I am superstitious obviously.

Doh, left and right swapped, not right and right.

DF said Rowe would take penalties from now on in his post match interview.
