Squad10 May 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Simon Martin

26 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Crawley Town lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad10 May 2027

Jacob Chapman 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.

The dugout10 May 2027

Lewis Richards 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.

Squad10 May 2027

A row about effort at Crawley Town

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nacim El Hassani was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout10 May 2027

Damián Martínez knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Crawley Town, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout10 May 2027

Harry Forster is still paying for one afternoon at Crawley Town

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Market22 Mar 2027

Francisco Vera hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Crawley Town can pretend not to have heard.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Words exchanged at Crawley Town

Jacob Chapman and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad22 Mar 2027

A row about effort at Crawley Town

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Taylor Richards was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match20 Mar 2027

A bad afternoon for Crawley Town against Chesterfield

0‑2 to Chesterfield, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Jacob Chapman

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jacob Chapman, and the manager let it.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Andrew Roberts to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

The form table has caught Francisco Vera

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Dion Pereira runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

Francisco Vera knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Crawley Town, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Both of them Denzel's — 8.51

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.51, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A fracture rules Joseph White out for 22 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Crawley Town will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Crawley Town

Amin Nabizada and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match24 Oct 2026

Denzel among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Denzel on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Crawley Town and Accrington Stanley.

Match24 Oct 2026

Crawley Town find a way past Accrington Stanley

Accrington Stanley made Crawley Town work for it, but the scoreboard read 4‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Taylor Richards 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.

The terraces26 Oct 2026

One of their own: Denzel

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

One of those days for Nacim El Hassani

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.08, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Crawley Town lose Kellan Gordon

40 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match26 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for Crawley Town

6 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

Crawley Town cannot find the net

4 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Crawley Town

Taylor 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.

Match22 Sep 2026

Bristol Rovers take the points off Crawley Town

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Kellan Gordon out for 70 days

The medical room confirms 70 days on the sidelines for Kellan Gordon, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Crawley Town

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Latta N'Dabrou was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Nacim El Hassani 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Too much change too quickly at Crawley Town

20 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Francisco Vera

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

In brief
