Absolutely brilliant - and honest!!

Sounds a very genuine geezer!

If I sing to Crawley fans 'can we play you every week' its not because we won, but because I would like to see more games played in that way and that spirit. I wish them well for the rest of the season.

Totally agree, I hope it clicks for them for the rest of the season.

Having just watched the highlights, pretty good save by Halstead just a pity the rebound sat nicely for Nadeson to score.
And what a super effort from Carlos that hit the post, very acrobatic.
Greta night.

Excellent game, helped by the ref not blowing his whistle for non fouls and allowing the game to flow with both teams then getting on with it and putting on a very entertaining game, plus Derek not getting so irate for a change.

Is that Greta Thunderbird !

I think Derek will need a goal-keeper on his Summer list.

How good was Cole Stockton. We need him putting pen to paper soon along with Carlos , Derek and a few more before the richer clubs start trying to tempt them away.

I made a point of watching Cole last night as he does seem to split opinion. Overall, I thought he was outstanding. His hold up play and the way he bullies defenders impressed me but his awareness was something that stood out. As soon as he gets it under control he has his head up looking for options and more often than not he does pick the right option. He missed a couple of chances, the header being the most notable. A proper 9/10 performance. Probably pipped to man of the match by Yann who is just horrible.

Hope he enjoyed his pizza on the coach and as said a genuine geezer.....

Good to see that our first goal was started at the back by Mark giving the ball to Hendrie who supplied Carlos and the rest is history. Pleased to see Mark back and did anybody else notice how DA had a laugh post match with Cole....

Not a lover of Slew but in fairness he did do well.....

Easily Jordan's best game for us, with some lovely moves. The back heal for the first goal was sublime as was his little 'juggle & flick' in the second half that almost led to a goal. Hopefully, we'll see his confidence grow now, as he definitely deserves to be starting on Saturday. A couple of times I was willing him to run at the defender and take him on, but he stopped and looked for a pass, so with the confidence boost of a good game, let's see him kick on. One of probably four players who could have been MotM.

Shame it didn't make the highlights!

Made the interviews though! Flicks it up with left foot and dinks it to Cole with his right.
