  • Anderson is not yet the finished article but personally I am quite excited when I see his game. I think he can go to the top. 
    i agree with this, he has all the skills, engine, physicality and commitment but isn't yet consistent in bringing all his skills into play. If it all clicks he's on 🔥

    He is the sort of player higher league scouts will be keeping a strong eye on.

    I think we saw off some quite big interest (Man United I believe) to even sign him as a pro. Karoy will be on a lot of clubs radars and will have been for a few seasons.

    Great watch as always! Was nice to see a bit of optimism amongst the fans, been a long time coming!

    Keep up the great work @Braziliance
  • Thanks Brazilliance. Always enjoy your videos. Must have sat right by you at Stockport but didnt see you. Can you bring back your five questions for a fiver. Always made me laugh.
  • There were a few rubbish decisions by the officials in the second half down our end. A couple of corners we should have, while right at the end a throw in was given as a goal kick!

    This angle really doesn't do Wollacott any favours

    Nice little dummy from Gilbert in the build up...🙄

    Certainly fortuitous that Gilbert missed the ball but he took up some good positions in the game and came close to scoring on several occasions.
    Seen this a couple of times. Gillesphey’s ball is actually played behind Gilbert’s run, but Gilbert drags it into the path of Small. 

    Not entirely sure how much he knew of what was behind him, but it’s an intentional touch. If he hadn’t made contact, Small would have had to go away from goal to fetch the ball.

    Sorry but he’s barely League One standard in my opinion. Would love to be proved wrong.
    He could perform a role in certain teams , but he lacks basic technical ability IMO
  • Thoroughly enjoyable evening - exceptionally well hosted by the owners of Crawley Town, and to top it off a great result. Concerned about Josh as he would be a big miss. Thought Gilbert looked like he has potential and yet again Jones and Macca were immense.
    If ever a photo showed that we need to get out of this league soon then this is it. There's better stadiums in non league.
    Didn't notice the gun tower behind the stand, presumably to keep the home fans in during the game.
    I noticed during the game on the Sky stream there were some very good behind the goal 'shots'.  I imagine the Crawley H&S department took a night off though.

    Always interesting reading the range of opinions on players, especially the younger ones who may improve, stay at this level or drop down the leagues.

    With his energy and other strengths I can see Anderson comfortably playing in this division and hopefully at least the Championship if he can find consistency.

    By his age I think he’d need to have shown more technical ability to play at a top club, but I can see why some see Prem potential in him. He’s got a great engine, is mobile and decent in the air, and it’s not a stretch that he could add more strength to that. If he does then physically he’ll have a bit of everything.

    Combine that with consistency to tidy up the technical side and his decision making, reading of the game, positioning etc which comes with experience he could become a really reliable player.

    Playing deeper definitely suits him better, and if that’s alongside a player like Coventry he’ll still have freedom to play more box to box, breaking forward or joining a high press, which should get the best out of him.

    I don’t think Docherty has completely nailed down that box to box role, and if we get promoted then that only becomes an even bigger question. This run in could be a great opportunity for Anderson to step up before the summer when signings start coming in.
    I agree with you on Anderson’s potential, and I think he has improved this season. But I do think Docherty has nailed down that role for this season, his performance level is just more consistent than Anderson (which is understandable because he’s still very young)

    The irony is its probably the nicest thing in Crawley too!  :D

    Cheers mate as always. 

    Can only apologise about the strangled cat type chanting. Got a bit of a cold and can't sing anyway on the best of days. Just trying to do my bit 😂

    Agreed. Last season it was all doom and gloom and people not too keen to talk, now people seem far more up for talking. People are even asking me to go on before I ask them which is nice 😂

    Thank you mate

    I will next game, I forgot about it tbh haha. I think cause no one was winning I started to feel bad.

    Very good again, but please NEVER put footage up again of the Gillingham FA Cup game - I’ve had to arrange an urgent meeting with my therapist because of the awful memories it provoked 😉
    I know but it had to be done as it was a very rare recurring visit on the vlog and I wanted to give Nick and John a bit of back story 😂 

    To be fair if I do that again for most games this season, it will probably be looking back at a loss or draw. 

    That Gillingham game seems so far away now. Completely different team.

    I agree especially with your previous point I agree he isnt the finished article at all but he has improved leaps and bounds from where he was.

    Yeah I'd say that's probably true! Was talk when they had the Turkish owners that they were going to move out to Ifield and build a new ground but that obviously never happened.

    I’d expect higher league scouts to be monitoring anyone aged under 22/23 who plays fairly regularly or more at this level, especially clubs like Brighton and Brentford.

    I'd expect the likes of Leaburn,Anderson, Kanu and TC to have been on bigger clubs radars since U18 level. All the Prem sides will know all about the players we produce and it will be interesting to see what transpires in the summer.

    Maybe half joking but NJ didn’t seem to think so, he said Docherty missing the game could be to his detriment.

    He’s definitely more consistent than Anderson, but he’s not performed to the level of Ramsay, Coventry and Jones, who will generally always be picked if fit.

  • Avoid defeat to Huddersfield and that'll be that as all remaining opponents didn't beat us in the reverse fixtures. 
    Stockport need to avoid defeat against Wycombe, Huddersfield, Lincoln and Stevenage to be able to say the same.

    Birmingham need to avoid defeat against Shrewsbury to say the same.

    Need the Covered End Massive to come up with a song about high fives, Costa coffee and Bluewater.

    Maybe

    "Nathan Jones is having a Party, 
    Cant high five or have a Latte"
    Maybe if we are all over an opponent:
    "Bluewater Costa,
    Bluewater Costa, 
    You've spent too long,
    In Bluewater Costa"

    EDIT: Maybe replace Bluewater with whatever town they are
