Looking forward to this...... I\'m about an hour away. Any team news? - trundlebus

According to the BBC website, Crawley's two main playmakers Pinault and Smith are out injured and they have another 2 or 3 injury doubts.

I agree with some of the other posters that this could be one of our most difficult away games and we should take advantage of a possibly weaker Crawley side which other teams won't have to face this season.

Wish I could be there but Crawley's a bridge too far for me today

Up the town or not at all!!

Hey guys , you never know jeff louis may give that extra 10% effort as its against us! crawley should get 60% out of him then

Any feelings ahead of the game then guys?

I know we're only a game into the season but this would be a great 3 points for us today if we can pull it off.

I'd put money on us conceding from a set piece today But we'll go on and win 2-1

head says 1-1, heart says 2-0

i have a good feeling today, but i do think we will concede from a set piece today, but we will get the win 3-1, 2 for gaz taylor and 1 for mark williams
