    Their manager seems a “character.”
    Can’t see him and Derek getting on.

    The weather forecast suggests an interesting afternoon for tactics. Not sure how it will catch Valley Parade, but this level of wind will make long throws and hoofing it even more frustrating.

    Wind behind Threlkeld's long throws might reach the edge of the area

    Whoever is captain tomorrow needs to win the toss so City play to the Kop in the second half.
    The creepies ' defender Tunnicliffe is already talking about frustrating and " turning the home crowd against the team".

    Noticed theirs no Prem league this weekend, does that mean the match will be available on I-follow?

    Which is a problem because we tend to start well for 20 mins then drop off and Adams half time team talks have zero effect!

    It would be interesting if one of our statisticians on here could check comparable results when kicking toward kop in the first half compared with fans preferred option of second half.

    One thing I have noticed is that if we do have to kick toward kop in first half it awakes the crowd up sooner. First halves at Valley Parade quite often resemble a library

    Don't think Gillead offers anything in whichever position he plays.

    That's a popular and mythical narrative on here though isn't it? To say he offers and contributes to nothing whatsoever is just blinkered IMO. He's been involved in many of our recent goals, usually retains and reworks the ball effectively and works really hard defensively - another common myth on here i.e. that he doesn't. No he's not a flying winger and never will be, but he's not being played as such and anyone expecting that is missing the point. His goal output is admittedly woeful.

    Only audio passes available on the website so won't be available. Although it's technically an international weekend in the FIFA calendar for some continents but not for UEFA it won't be in the exemptions for the 3pm black out

    Bradford Saturday, Swindon Tuesday. They're two teams that have played in the Premier League, does that just show what big clubs there are in this division?"

    John Yems: "Not really. It just shows you they weren't big enough for the Premier League, doesn't it?"

    I think he’s just a bit thick, people often post his post match rants online for a laugh even a lot of Crawley fans say he makes little sense. By his logic because he’s hey aren’t in the PL anymore the likes of Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday aren’t big enough for the PL but Brentford are, club size is irrelevant these days the size of your pockets isn’t…

    Mark Marshall came on as a sub in Crawley's last match. He's bound to get a better reception than the Carlisle crew if he appears at Valley Parade.
