Away at Brum with an untested keeper in goal and a defence that gives away at least three great chances to score every game, often more!
I forgot to thank Bolton for loaning us a keeper last week. He did OK but did give away a penalty after being left in the lurch by our defence.
I'm feeling...
Crawley sign their 8th keeper of the season. Toby Steward, on 7 day emergency loan from Pompey. 20 year old with a few games in the National league as the sum total of his experience.
Straight into the side to play Birmingham today and, I presume, Exeter on Monday.
With our luck with keepers...
First thing I will say is that ref was flaming crap. He was crap for both sides which I suppose makes him fairly crap. He started early. After five minutes a bloody obvious push in the back was missed but he didn't miss the shout of exasperation from our manager and booked him. I need to watch...
I dont think Cambridge and Crawley will be far behind Shrewsbury in sealing relegation.
Strangely we are set to record our highest finish for 6 or seven seasons (glass half full type of guy) with our worst defensive performance in 50 years (glass half empty).
Orient were miles too strong for...
Just got back from Stevenage. The fans turned up. Shame about the team. Back to sideways and backwards passing for us.
Nice free kick goal for them. Decent equaliser for us followed by our usual capitulation at the end. I'm not going to look it up but we must be world record holders for goals...
Trundling up to Stevenage tomorrow. A direct train from Three Bridges (the main line station in Crawley). I will probably have to put up with Arsenal fans as the train goes right by their stadium as well.
Looking forward to a good day out, one or two (gallons) beverages and fingers crossed for...
The 7th time we've scored 3 or more goals this season. We've won one of them. We've scored 6 against Posh this season and haven't got a point!
At the end we had a centre forward (Swan) playing as a left back and another (Adeyemo) playing as right back . It's been our problem all season. Oh...
Rob Elliot is available. He was unlucky at Crawley, unlucky with the squad he inherited, unlucky with injuries and unlucky with the recruitment being out of his hands.
Louis Storey (our manager for one day) isn't. He signed as a player for Darlington and scored on Saturday.

We haven't been "shit" as such, just not quite good enough...well, there were a few games we were absolute tosh. But even the better teams have had to work hard to beat us.
Just watched the goals. Crawley scored four goals !
Casey
I didn't go today. I wish I had now. I've not heard from anyone who went (in detail) just been told we thoroughly deserved it.
Napoleon always said he'd rather have a lucky general than a brilliant one. Lindsey's return has coincided with the return of Flint in defence, Quinrena on the wing and...
I'll be honest. I don't think he is going to make a top class footballer but the stats (if true) can't be sneezed at. Mind you, even in my dreams I get the sack from a scouts job.
Casey
Lindsey saying all the right things since he came in, we're too good to be in this position, it's going to be hard but it's doable, great bunch of lads, excellent training this week, but I think we're too far adrift to catch up.
We beat Rotherham in the reverse fixture but it was a very...
Wow!
That must be painful for Shrews fans. The only loyalty in football is among the fans.
You could spin it that it allows you time to get the right person in for next season.
Casey
I'm still not a fan of the fist pumping stuff though.
Still reckon we're back here next season but hopefully if we come down fighting we'll have a chance to do well next season.
Casey
First half we were OK and deserved to be more than a goal to the good (Doyle missed an open goal!).
The second half was probably the worst football I've seen two teams play for ....well, for ever. Both sides deserve to be relegated to park football for that second half! The only redeeming...
Can Crawley get a double bounce of two new managers in a week?
Both teams let in five goals last weekend so I'd expect some defensive work would have been the mainstay of training this week.
The reverse fixture was one of the oddest games I've watched. Gas deserved to win the first half by a...
Crawley have signed an emergency keeper from Hull.
Timothy La-Totula, was playing at Doncaster last season when they went on that amazing run from 2nd bottom to just missing out on automatic promotion (last day Mansfield snuck in if memory serves).
Can't say I've seen him but it's one game...
