A potentially difficult game following on from the disappointment at Forest Green. We're only a point ahead of the visitors, who are in a decent position mainly thanks to a good home record and their fans seem happy with the football under Harry Kewell's Italian replacement Gabrielle Cioffi. The last time I saw us play Crawley was a 3-3 draw early in the relegation from L1 season, when Rovers grabbed a late equaliser. Don't know that much about their current side, but it seems a reasonably strong squad, with a few stalwarts like Felipe Morais in good form.
It will be interesting to see what changes Micky makes after Tuesday's disappointment at Forest Green. Haven't heard any injury updates, so assume that the recent absentees remain unavailable. MM will have to decide whether to stick with 451 or change formation. Given Paul Mullin has done fairly well when given any time on the pitch recently, my inclination would be to go for two up front, but unsure the manager views things the same way. Even if we stay 451, would expect more changing than simply the return of Ollie Banks.
Prediction: Think the crowd will be around 5.5k and not expecting many to venture up from Sussex. Not confident about this game at all,but so far this season, Crawley haven't travelled well,so expecting the points to be shared.
