Omochere is coming back from injury, no excuses from Ward and Sinclair. With the experience they have they should be making a difference. I feel for Thomas. Omochere wasn't any better before he was injured, for £50K/£100K he might have been OK but there's no way he's a £500K player. |

Taylor just isn't working! We shouldn't be struggling against the likes of crawley if we ever wanna get out of this league.

And people wonder why Thomas doesn’t get in the team. Absolutely appalling You can't expect him to play a few sub appearances and have him get up to speed. I expect him to run |

Front 3 of Hutch, Martin and Shaq has good balance. Mistake to take off Hutch.
Central midfield is awful.

That 45 minutes from our team, at home, was unacceptable.
Our effort, desire, energy off the ball is no better than my local U10s side. I'm serious, we are very poor.
It's all well and good having a decent 29 minutes in the first half, but it's a 90 minute match where people have parted with money to watch.
Fair play to those of you at the game. From my couch it was a difficult watch.

Kicking ball out of play . At least twice by Crawley players. Forde get second yellow and sent off. Where oh where is the consistency . Allison the ref I rate but he had a shocking second half

If you want us to be promoted then Taylor needs more than an (estimated) midtable budget. Since he’s come in, he’s bought £1.5m of players but sold £1.2/3m - you don’t get promoted on £200k net transfers. But overall you’re right, we absolutely should have won that today and it’s 4 points dropped the past 2 home games. |

The saying let the ball do the work is still true, we were totally shattered second half, that's the problem with the press, we can't keep it up all game. Omechere was limping within minutes of coming on, Thomas didn't look interested, the subs made us weaker. As for Crawley, they'll be relegated, the poorest I've seen this season and we were lucky to get a point.

Crawley probably spent peanuts, if anything, in comparison. We could have picked up free transfers as good (or bad?) as PC & RS perform. |

Excuses after excuses so time to get rid of Taylor |

Lucky to gain a point in the end as it was only Crawley who looked like scoring in the second half.
First half we were much the better team, creating chances and would have deserved to be ahead.
Four substitutes second half all made us worse. Just baffling, why take off players who are performing well and replace with the unfit.
If we were 3-0 up then fair enough but this was poor again from MT.

Picking up points, I know it’s frustrating not winning at home but at least we kept a clean sheet.
Seriously need to invest in a left back and possibly a more creative central midfielder, when Martin is fitter and O’Donker returns we will (hopefully) be more of a threat.
Let’s face it, we are miles off being anywhere near the top 6 so for me it’s all about staying clear of that bottom 4 and hoping our investments improve and gel over time.
As frustrating as that wait is!!

A really good first half and I enjoyed it, if one of those bar efforts goes in we smash em! Second half meh, not really sure wtf that was? One minute we look good and then a load of old bollox!
Keep the faith gas, because that’s what we do 👀
UTFG!

Very good first half, very poor second half.
When you’re on top and creating chances you have to take them.
Up to 14th in the league which is around where I thought we’d finish at the beginning of the season so not all doom and gloom but both of our centre forwards look either lazy or overweight or both and aren’t scoring.

Absolutely abysmal.
Those players should be ashamed.

BRFC the Club where you only have to show up for half a season, half an hour, only until half time, half cocked, half assed, and half prepared at best. Not just this season but a pattern that has been present for several years now. Perhaps they should only collect half their wage including Matt Taylor.

Yet more predictable dire Taylor tactics and a lacklustre 2nd half to cure insomnia unless you are a Crawley fan. No faith in Taylor No faith in the Ownership, whoever they are, does anyone really have a clue. UTFG.
