THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

lost to play-off winners, not that it's any consolation.

A manager who no-one rated. A load of signing from non-league that no-one rated. I recall last summer seeing their signings on BBC Football L2. and thinking they'll finish bottom. May well lose their manager and some of their players, but for now well done all concerned with Crawley. Let's hope their owners do them justice.

Hopefully inspirational to our club, all be it let's not go down low budget non-league signings route like Crawley. It almost certainly works once in a blue moon. No doubt a lot of other less noticeable factors have to be aligned too.

Can we pinch their Liam Sweeting equivalent ?
Ive lost confidence in him some time ago

They have been superb in the playoffs and deserved to go up for their new owners, who seem to be able to pick talent, be it a manager or a player. A massive lesson to us on and off the field. The Crawley fan zone was good too.

I believe their owners are their data analysts.

On BBC Radio Sussex they said had 5 non-football side of the business F/T staff.

No fancy stuff there.

So what are they doing right that we aren’t? Sky said they have 5 fulll time members of staff. Looks like we’ve got that in medical team alone!!!

Your guess is as good as mine. I would just point out that their best player, Kelly, is 28 years old, in his prime and in his correct position, that while their goalie can play, he can keep goal too, a solid centre half who can play too and they can also play it long to their centre forward. They see to have got the spine of their team right. Plus a manager to is real find.

Probably a good thing Crawley had gone up, just so we don't have to play them again next season.

They were great and deserved it. Really surprised they didn't finish higher in the league.

Still not convinced that they're not just going to be the next Bury, though.

Crawley would have beaten any league 2 side today, they were brilliant, controlled the game and restricted Crewe to very few chances.

Glad we didn’t play them at Wembley today, it would have been a massacre

Absolute credit to Crawley, all three games they've been fantastic.
