Squad

A one-man rearguard from Jacob Chapman

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

The cup run ends for Crawley Town

0‑1 against Queens Park Rangers, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Match

The wait goes on for Crawley Town

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match

The goals have deserted Crawley Town

7 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Crawley Town can tell you which week it ends in.

Player ratings

Malcolm Ebiowei runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Crawley Town

Lewis Richards 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.

Squad

Aitor Morcillo pulls a muscle — 14 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 14 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad

Words at Crawley Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dion Pereira is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Point won or two lost for Crawley Town?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Cheltenham Town? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Match

No end in sight to Crawley Town's wait for a win

5 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.

Match

Crawley Town cannot find the net

5 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.

Squad

Jay Williams 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Crawley Town

Kellan Gordon 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Kellan Gordon

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Crawley Town sign Ezequiel Morales, one for the future

Ezequiel Morales is 20, and Crawley Town have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Crawley Town sign Mark Pearson, one for the future

Mark Pearson is 14, and Crawley Town have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Crawley Town sign Charles Young, one for the future

Charles Young is 14, and Crawley Town have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad

Renato Amorim signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Renato Amorim and Crawley Town agree another 3 years.

Player ratings

Malcolm Ebiowei runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Lewis Richards 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.

Squad

Jay Williams 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Danny Cashman

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

No investment in the facilities at Crawley Town

Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.

Market

Fate Kotey is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Crawley Town has been clear about where Fate Kotey stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

Tempers go at Crawley Town

Lewis Richards 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.

Squad

Dion Pereira stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Dion Pereira and Crawley Town agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words at Crawley Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dion Pereira is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Crawley Town and Lewis Richards are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

6 new faces, and Crawley Town are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market

Scott Malone told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Scott Malone has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Crawley Town.
