Not one to slag players off but Wilson isn't good enough, he's causing all sorts of problems.
Slight upgrade on Josh Granite, heart of a lion but pants at football.

Free kicks, corners, penalties consistently rubbish

I keep remembering Dunn saying a few weeks ago that we had been training on taking free kicks. No sign of it - last good one I can recall was the one that gave Platt the header in last minute at Cambridge.

That wasn’t a free kick

Hope is not a strategy yet we continue hoofing long balls forward in any old direction and we just hope we win the ball.

It wasn't a free kick. It was a throwing which Barry crossed in.

Indeed. It was a superb cross by Brad Barry.

It’s the old Cox / Rugby Union tactic - play in the other end of the pitch - and as you say , hope for the best .

Not great is it ?!!

We've got to play to our strengths and right now we haven't the players to move it slickly through midfield. Keep doing what we are doing and will get chances.

Crawley are another bang average side. Standard ain’t much better than NL so far in this league. Only issue is we are nowhere near the team we were last season.

I did fear the worst when Kay of all people was about to take the pen. Surely someone (or two) should be practicing in training taking a good pen, so we have someone we can rely on.

Wilson completely out muscled for their goal. Kay passing, crossing, penalty all look poor ! Not sure when we get a chance at goal we try and pass it again "shoot for god sake" and i can see Brown getting sent off or giving a penalty away at this rate. I'd bring Taylor and Sea on for Reid and Beading
