Re: Crawley away
As ever, a spot-on summary from Mr.Whalley. Teams were well matched and both tried to play an attractive passing game, but conditions didn't always help.
Other than luck and an outstanding performance from their keeper, I thought the difference was one or two Crawley players being a bit stronger on and off the ball, their midfielders seeming to have more options and, consequently, Crawley reacting a bit more quickly when they had the ball.
I thought the relative lack of pace from Messrs Hughes and Brown was exploited to Crawley's advantage on a few occasions, not least their second goal which was the only goal of the three that could not be described as pure fluke.
Overall, though, a good performance from the Stanley squad and one that should have warranted a point - if only life and football was fair.
