Well im looking forward to this tomorrow, especially the awards night after.

I hope Cooky goes with his strongest side, which im sure he will do.

Come on the reds!!!!!!!

:):)
 
Re:Creepy Crawley Town Match Thread..........

What is your strongest IX/formation Smudgie???? :)
 
Tough one mate, I have missed the last two games because of work but personally I would go with this tomorrow......

...........................Bavs
.........Joyce......Toto........Murphy.......Mcintyre
.......................Barnett.....Hughes
.........Lindfield.........Hatfield...........Devitt
........................Podge....................

Bench
Nicholls
Hopper
Carver
Liddle
Evans

For me personally Joyce's form has dipped abit the last few months of the season, he has played Right Back before and done a decent job, Craig is a far better attacking Wide Right.Though by the sounds of it, Cooky likes Craig as a Right Wing Back, which is probably what we will see again tomorrow.

As for the rest, I guess they pick themselves at the moment.
 
Bavo

Craig Murphy Toto Macca

Charlie Hughesy

Liddle

Dev Evans

Podge



Hopper/Carver/Joyce/Nicholls/Stockdale.


With the injuries, plus the - alleged - departures, that would be it for me :) :)

First penalty of the season and a first goal for Toto!!!!!!!

Will be completely wrong on all counts of course...............

:) :) :)
 
Agree about Luke, hence the place on the bench. Thought that Will was still injured, or I would have played him!!!

Home game before last, Liddle played in the Proccy role - box to box and breaking up play, that is his best position for me! All about opinions and Cookys counts :D :D
 
Although we got beaten today I enjoyed a proper game of football, compared with this awful cup final on telly. Rubbish.
 
Same old story really. We made enough chances to lead by a good two goals in the first half, missed all our chances, then rued our profligacy in the second half as Crawley felt their way into the game and got a goal.

It's difficult to take as Crawley were nothing special; indeed they were half the team Shrewsbury were a couple of weeks ago. Akinde was a handful but Toto defended admirably. Lots of long-balling from both teams and the worst referee in the Football League, Mr Deadman, made for a difficult watch. Perhaps our lads switched off due to the formality of proceedings. That's what mid-table mediocrity can do.

Looking forward to this summer and seeing the team rebuild.
 
Agree about the missed chances shaker, but i take great heart from the fact,In the last 2 home games,we have played 2 of the promoted sides n neither has outplayed us. Roll on next season.;)
 
Really wanted the 3 points today for Cookie and the lads but every cloud has a silver lining and we have got rid of the creepy crawley,s for one season at least.
On a positive note thought we played some good stuff today against some big lads,young Marcus Carver seems like he has a great future ahead of him and was unlucky not to bag a couple.
 
Got to agree about the comment on the referee. The worst I have ever seen at the Crown. Decisions given as fouls against Crawley, yet when they did similar things, nothing. When Toto was booked, the lad dived better than any swallow diver. I actually feared for Stanley in that I expected one of our players to get red carded, such was the play acting on Crawleys part. Good Luck to them in League one where I think they may get found out. i am now looking forward to Cookie and Leam forming a new team for next season, where I think we can be amongst the front runners, i am that confident.
 
Well I think 3-3 would have been a fair reflection of the game.

As others have said, missed chances have cost us dearly.

Agreed ref was pretty poor, but well done to Crawley, decent set of fans, despite their reputation.

MOM Toto for me, a rock!! Young Carver also had a good opening 45 mins, got into some great positions.

Most positive aspect of the day for me was confirmation from Hughes & Mcintyre they are signing deals next week :)

Looking forward to Cooky rebuilding the side.
 
Funniest moment was a rather tipsy Bav's................

"Who are smudgie & cashman I wonder, they hate me " ..............

Lol oops !!!
 
I dont hate you Bavs :)

I just wish you where as good as every week as I know you can be !!

Burton Albion away springs to mind this season, best performance from a Stanley keeper since the Rob Elliott days :)
 
In his post match interview on Radio Sheffield for Rotherham Steve Evans made special mention that Crawley had been promoted at Accrington.
