Back in February, Crawley picked up just 1 point from a possible 18 (including a 2-1 defeat at EP), finishing the month in the bottom two. But they beat relegation rivals Harrogate and Rochdale in March, before winning at Hartlepool in April. Taking maximum points against the shite around them just about kept them up, but will there be enough crap at the bottom of League Two for Crawley to finish above this season? Sky Bet don’t think so; they’re joint favourites with Harrogate for the drop. Our regular Crawley correspondent Dan Jones isn’t too confident either, with his club doing their summer shopping in “a charity shop”. (I won’t rub it in about the Nick Powell we’ve just picked up in Selfridges.) And with their weird crypto owners still struggling to win over the locals, Crawley could be in a spot of bother. This season will be their 13th in the Football League; that could prove unlucky for some in West Sussex. As well as a load of stuff on Crawley, we’ve got Hannah Brown joining us once again today with the third instalment of “Postcards from Pinatar”. It’s been a really popular feature on the website this week, so a big thank you to Hannah for sharing her Spanish tales with us. She’s flying back home today (on the same flight as the players) but I’m sure we can scrape enough money together for a new pen and a diary to keep Hannah on board for more of her adventures this season, even if Morecambe and Milton Keynes might not be quite as appealing as Murcia. https://thescarfmyfatherwore.substack.com/p/doncaster-wimbledon-colchester-crewe-b04 |
