The Crawley Town Courier
Match28 Aug 2027
No end in sight to Crawley Town's wait for a win
50 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Crawley Town has to find a result from somewhere.

Crawley Town cannot find the net
38 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Matthijs van Nispen: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Crawley Town have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Crawley Town is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Stanimir Prazov is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Tempers go at Crawley Town
Seb Revan was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Lee O'Connor falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Keanan Bennetts runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
In brief
- Market A long bet from Crawley Town on Benjamin Allen
- Market Crawley Town buy the years ahead of Michael White
- Market Crawley Town buy the years ahead of Liam Shaw
