I'd prefer Dixon to Hylton though. I know what I'd hate most as a tiring defender on 80 mins......and its not some aging has been trying to shithouse his way around the pitch.

Why... When plenty of those who watch the U21s say he's clearly not ready
We've also got Kanu who is probably the best Striker we've got at the club who can press the opposition into mistakes

What if you’re 1-0 down and you can’t get the ball back because the shithouse has kicked the match ball, and every ball boy’s ball, over the roof of the away end?

Wondered if we might see Gilbert start tonight - we should be looking to dominate possession a bit more than we would have been anticipating to do in our last 3 games so hopefully there will be more opportunities for him to get on the ball and pull some strings tonight. Godden's intelligent movement might have worked better with Gilbert's guile, but at the same time Gilbert is less physical than most of our players so having Leaburn up there to hopefully occupy their centre backs won't hurt either, and Leaburn is not exactly a cart horse himself.
Anderson has been decent whenever called upon through this good run we've been having so not too worried about Doc sitting one out - Karoy will at the very least match Doc for running.
I assume Aneke is missing with his broken noggin' from Saturday. I have some secondhand embarrassment for Ahadme falling behind Hylton in the pecking order.

All Crawleys' home games have been tight this year. We may need some shithousing at the end of the game.
Personally not in agreement with players missing games after a kid has been born. Different if they are still in labour but once born just man up and play.

Presumably he’s not slept or trained properly over the past 24/48 hrs so makes a lot of sense

I remember Curbs telling Brownie just that...although his missus was still in Labour iirc...those were the days eh...

Dinosaur Ages are calling for you to get back there
No Watson on the bench is interesting. Instead we have 3 strikers plus Berry, so potentially lots of attacking options if we need to chase the game
It’s an opportunity match to set down a statement win that rocks the boat for those above and below us. Clearly we’d all be happy with just getting the 3 points but do so convincingly would deflate the other teams just that little bit extra; and at this stage of the season every little bit helps.

I remember when Trevor Francis insisted that one of his QPR players travelled to an away game and the player missed the birth. Dinosaur.
Louis Watson only on the bench for Crawley, it'll be interesting to compare him with Gilbert. Both are cultured midfielders, with excellent set piece delivery, but allegedly a bit lightweight in the tackle

Another one I forgot was at Crawley... When people talked about Watson being there, I wondered who on earth people were talking about

I'm sure of it (that'll bite me on the arse), need to avoid being so open at the back for Crawley to exploit us again.

And good on NJ for being unafraid of changes.
What then?
