Lanre Awesu breaks a bone — 20 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 20 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Lanre Awesu in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Crawley Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match13 Dec 2031
At last: Crawley Town win one
5 matches without a win, and then this, against Barnet. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.
Match13 Dec 2031
Crawley Town see off Barnet
Three points for Crawley Town, 1‑0 the final word against Barnet in a contest settled by the finer margins.

William Sørensen gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Squad15 Dec 2031
Crawley Town count the cost of losing Anthony Atkinson
26 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
Player ratings15 Dec 2031
Nobody on the pitch touched Tom Wingate
7.74, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Crawley Town had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
The dugout15 Dec 2031
The manager has not finished forgetting William Sørensen's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Interim Coach has his say
“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Interim Coach on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
