    It will have been a long time since we played a competitive match, when Crawley visit in mid January. The momentum will have been lost, perhaps too much time to think about things, however it is up to the players and management squad to refresh things.
    A long journey for Creepy, not sure if the hotels are open with Covid. I guess the roads will be quieter, a good four hours on the road and an early start if not.
    I see they have united the Wright brothers, not sure if they will ‘take off’ as a unit.
    The home fixture when a certain ex-Manager was there eight years ago, was always a feisty night!
    Crawley’s away form over the last eight is good, Won 3 Drawn 4 Lost 1, so a tough game in prospect.

    If they've reunited the Wright brothers, maybe they're flying up?

    My total error! But I guess you get my drift.

    Watching Leeds struggling, I think the Muppet commentating is paid by the word. He never stops talking.

    Hopefully a cup game will have tired them out, can see a 0-0 or 1 - 0 win

    Clearly Crawley are a top ten side, should be top half of the Premier League.

    I'll take a 4-0 defeat if we can somehow keep the score down.

    Hopefully they get a glamour tie in the 4th round so their heads are elsewhere. Not wanting to get stuck in so as to not risk injury for Anfield, Old Trafford or The Emirates.

    Lxxxs have been fined £200 for breaking lockdown protocols for making a pointless journey to Crowley today.

    That's what I was thinking. I seem to recall our league form dipping when we were on the way to the league cup final? Hopefully they see a trip to Bradford as it bit of a come down after today and their heads are on another big name in the 4th round (and a possible 5th round name too).

    Always happy to see Beeston Scum beaten.
    But Crawley look a decent side.
    Wasn't there a mini riot after the game, when Fatty Evans brought them to VP a few years ago ?

    Don't forget we drew at their place only a few weeks ago, restricted them to no shots on target.

    Not a chance.

    We're the biggest name on the footballing calendar for many of these teams, it's their cup final.
