1-0 Crawley.

Got to go for it NOW.

[Dougals Dad]

Time to play 3-4-2. We need points

On the plus side - see Gaz's post!

(not the one below, the one about Crawley)

[gazwarrington]

We are having a go anyway ... They have 10men and have continued to play with 1 up front !

[Dougals Dad]

55 mins - This has been an impressive response to a serious setback.
For the first 10 minutes of this half, the Robins' players have worked for each other, kept their shape and remained solid. Keep it up and there might just be something in this game for them.
Crawley, on the other hand, have looked dull and uninspired. They've done nothing to suggest they can break the 10 men down, although the electric pace of their strikers will cause problems as players tire.

GOAL - 58 mins - Alty 0 Crawley 1 (Pittman) - The commentator's curse.
Just as I had finished my last update, Pittman cut in from the right, socrched past a couple of defenders and fired a superb finish low into the far corner.
It's a serious uphill struggle now.

I'm not at the game to see if the ref has made a dreadful mistake in sending Joe off, but what the hell is he starting for anyway. Every man and his dog can see Cahill is a better player. Jesus wept. And no, this isn't about, we are losing and so let's get at Joe. He simply isn't half as talented as Tom Cahill.

We can only assume he is not match fit. Every report I hear that compares the 2 of them suggests as much

60 mins - So, 0-1 here and still 0-0 at Weymouth v Farsley. As it stands, both Alty's rivals in the battle to avoid relegation will make up ground on them tonight.
The situation here makes you realise just how difficult it is to compete in this division. Tonight's game was seen as a chance to pick up points and there are few more games in the schedule you would instantly call 'winnable'.
There is plenty of football still to be played but rotten luck like this won't get Alty far.

[tottenham alty]

If we can grab a draw and Weymouth Farsley stays 0-0 it won't be that bad

[louise1925]

I've heard the 'not match fit' excuse many times before...too many times.

[gazwarrington]

Joe was unlucky for 1st booking and second one was a 50/50 where the player just dropped on floor holding his face, all the Crawley players surrounded ref and got him sent off (was only second yellow though) .. reports are VERY unlucky.

According to people at the game Crawley are just a nasty bunch of cheating players, mind what you expect with Evans in charge ?

[Dougals Dad]

, mind what you expect with Evans in charge ?

He should have been booted out of the game for good when he was at Boston

CAHILL ON FOR KING!

[louise1925]

Couldn't agree more. I'd rather FGR had beaten us than Crawley. That says it all.

[SW]

No one has beaten us yet, come on, lets wish this one in.

[Dougals Dad]

FARSLEY DOWN TO 10 MEN - Andy Watson sent off. They have had a few sendings off recently

65 mins - Tom Cahill has come on for Liam King as Graham Heathcote attempts to change the course of this game.
It looks like Alty may stay as there are, in a 4-4-1 formation, but Cahill will get forward from midfield to provide support for Little whenever he can.
The Robins have even had a half decent chance to get themselves back on level terms as Shotton's long throw reached Little at the far post. But Alty's top scorer could only fire wide.

[SW]

As things stand I don't want a winner in that one.

[radcliffe alty]

2-0 Crawley.
