    Only enjoyable element of that half is Morais’ commentary - which those at the ground won’t have heard. I don’t know whether he’d make a good manager, but his analysis and insights are spot on every time I hear him.

    There are several attacking options on the bench.

    It's GA's responsibility to change things to get more attacking options on the pitch.

    Only he won't, because we had a couple of chances so we'll carry on regardless and then just throw everything up in the air for the last 15 mins and hope something works.

    I think Derbyshire will have scored more than 16 during his career.

    Just seems their is a distinct lack of confidence all around out there for the boys. Cook especially looks disgusted; body language not good from any of them. Smith looks like a conference striker at best most of the time, has to bury that. Asides from their goal Crawley hasn't done much, same as Crewe was the last game.

    Be a shame to lose once again to a team like that.

    Not possible for them to be above us after they signed Foulds and Sutton according to some.

    Half time takeaway

    Can’t fathom the quality of officials, three times pointed out to Crawley he was adding time to general play, permitted their keeper to funny about with the ball. The offside flag and official was a joke . Doesn’t the idiot know we don’t have VAR? Two or three players going down stopping play yet adds two minutes and only played I min 30 seconds. Cook seems to be accepting he’s going to be bullied and getting no protection….Give em some back instead of passitivity?

    Odour waste of space, get Bobby on, he can’t be any worse. The Walker injury is really hurting now
    Ridehalgh still off it
    Smith deary me, should have buried that 1 on 1 get him off and Oliver on.

    Gilly decent along with Smallwood
    Thompkinson the best of our side.

    Frustrating because a defence like Crawley we should be walking this!

    As poor as it's been I don't think we're out of this game yet.

    I agree. I was pleased when I switched on and heard he was on today. He improves the commentary immeasurably.

    This is awful. It requires changing. Both strikers are off it. Odour never seems to be in the right space. Not just the fans that have been upset this week.

    We need to show we can compete or I'd be making a couple of subs after 60 minutes we can't wait till 70 before changing things.

    We shouldn’t be at 1-0 and Crawley aren’t world beaters. Just depends if we want to turn up this half or not. We’ve started marginally better.

    Cook gets absolutely nothing from the refs.
    Every single game he seems to get manhandled.

    Piss moans all the time at refs so they don't care.
