Crawley vs Barrow (12/12) Match Thread

[bigmac95]

We’ve thrown this away. Awful awful game management

Hugely frustrating, but it isn't the manager's fault if we dominate a period of play, go one up, then allow the other team immediately to take control (without the manager changing instructions or formation). That was the turning point. When we went 2-1 up I hoped we would keep up the pressure and go for a third to kill it off.

I don't know where we go from here. Dunn's future is a matter for the Board, but the big question is whether there is someone else available who could do better with the same squad.

How do you know that isn’t the instructions? We do it every time we go up! If it’s not the managers instructions it’s become common place enough for him to fix it!

This isn’t a one off!

Could someone else do better? Absolutely. On paper we have some good players and they are being utilised In a poor way!

For anyone that inevitably asks "who is out there if we sack him?"

Dunn should do the decent thing and resign, if he has any dignity.

This is beyond him .

He should but would you walk away from big money?

Your right but ex prem player he will be set for life not like he needs the pay out.

He wont resign. How much will he be on a year? 80-100K?

[spirit of 1990]

We never “let” Rooney go, he wasn’t coming back.

Was he not under Contract ? I thought he was in which case he couldn’t go without the Club’s agreement

Doesn’t work like that does it? He wanted to go so what’s the point in trying to keep him.

Evatt was under contract as well.

Time for him to walk.... relying on Bradford and Southend to lose more than us and that won't happen all season.

Absolutely spot on.

[SayitagainSam]

Not all bad news - our goal difference v Stevenage has improved.

Should be but I still dont think theres anyone that would turn that sort of money down.

[Slenderhead]

That was totally embarrassing. They were able to take the total mickey out of us after the sending off. Any good football played earlier in the season and similar to last has just... well... gone. They are good if not excellent players so somethings got to change quick.

This today has come from putting 2 defensive midfielders on to try and sit on a 2-2 with 15 mins to go and then thinking oh [SwearFilter] once they went in front. I loved Dunny as a Blackburn fan whilst he was playing but he cannot cut it as a manager. We just cannot allow this to carry on beyond this week regardless of what it might cost. If it means we end up seeing nothing for the money from the Premier League then so be it. If it's left any longer and then still have to pay him off that gives the new man little chance to turn it around. Must go tonight sorry.

Firstly, never a foul for Brown's second yellow never mind another booking.

However, that was two poor teams. You can look at it and say we did OK and could've come away with more on another day, but even so it still wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination.

We are a very very easy side to defend against, slow, pedestrian, midfield players who are all alike and who slow the game down as soon as they get the ball. We are incredibly predictable and opposition defenders must love playing against us.

Behind and down to ten men, we once again take off easily one of our most potent attacking threats in Josh Kay and that for me beggars belief. To compound matters we bring on Harrison Biggins who isn't even a footballer in his dreams.

When we were behind the players we brought on were Biggins, C Taylor, Brough and Sea. One truly attacking player who we know little about, a defender and two players who are nothing footballers.

Tom Beadling should not escape without criticism today also. What is the point of him? Heavy touch after heavy touch and we might as well have played with ten men from the off.

I'm afraid it's becoming untenable for Dunn now. I like him, I want him to succeed, but he's not going to. We need to make the decision now.

[cuffy]

At this rate we won’t even match Stevenage’s three wins last season that earned them a reprieve due to Macc’s demise.
Will the happy clappers and give him a chance brigade please wake up and smell the coffee.
I cannot thank the board enough for what they’ve done for us to date but if they continue to back Dunn and he takes back into non league they will have undone all their hard work in a blink of an eye.

Some interesting names, but who could we afford.

And what have the chaps been doing who have been available since 2013

[Mark Johnson]

The way he went to ground, it has to be a yellow. No need for him to make that tackle on a yellow

[Mark Johnson]

A Jones and Hardcastle midfield would make a difference for us. Hopefully we can get them both back soon
