Three points a must on Saturday if we’re to keep our slim play off chances alive. I don’t think we’ll get there but nice to have something riding on it. Crawley are the same and actually are in a better position than us. They sit 9th in the league just a point off the play offs but with games in hand on most teams. Crawleys charge up the table has been based on recent form. Before their Monday night draw with Stockport they had won 5 out of their last 6 games and are peaking at the right time. There away form is half decent with 7 wins and 8 defeats. One to watch is top scorer Orsi who has 17 league goals this season.
As for rovers we are usually strong at home and confidence can’t be any higher after the recent Wrexham and Mansfield wins. It will be interesting whether Crawley come on to us as much as those sides did, or whether they sit back a bit. Despite their play off ambitions with games in hand and our current form I’m sure they would take a point.
As for team selection and assuming everyone is fit I’m expecting the same starting eleven as last Saturday. Tom Davies is of course captain but it doesn’t send out a great message if Yarney is dropped after last week. Similarly Morris might come back in but who would be dropped out of Jennings, Norris or Saunders? None I’m guessing unless injured so I’m expecting the same team.
Play offs highly unlikely, but let’s hope we can keep the good vibes going.
