Here's me two penn'orth on yesterday. We had a game plan that worked well and yet again it was a good team effort. Crawley really put us under enormous pressure in the second half but our defence held out well.

The only negative for me was James Spray. He was never in the game at all and has nothing like the energy of Kurtis Guthrie.

Bavs made 3 magnificent saves and I think it's time for the Bavs bashers to back off now.

One oddity at the ground is that the away supporters wanting to sit down are given seats amongst the home fans so it was interesting to hear their perceptions. A few verbatim quotes I overheard from the Crawley fans near me:
"If they had a good striker. they would be in the top six".
"Their number 6 (Proccy) is one of the best defensive midfielders we've seen this season".
"Aren't they well organised?"
"No wonder they don't lose many away games".

That was an interesting comment about Proccy and it was backed up by a couple of the Crawley fans who were chatting to me in the bus queue. They clearly rated him much better than some people who post on here.
