Match26 Sep 2026

Chastening afternoon for Crawley Town

A 0‑3 beating by Bristol Rovers was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match26 Sep 2026

8 matches without a win for Crawley Town

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Crawley Town are no longer polite ones.

Match26 Sep 2026

8 matches without a goal for Crawley Town

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 8 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Jacob Chapman keeps Crawley Town in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Malcolm Ebiowei 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

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.

Match16 Sep 2026

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.

Match19 Sep 2026

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.

Match19 Sep 2026

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 ratings21 Sep 2026

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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

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.

Match19 Sep 2026

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.

Market24 Aug 2026

Scott Malone 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

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.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Malcolm Ebiowei

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Crawley Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jay Williams 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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Malcolm Ebiowei stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.54 on the card, and the Crawley Town support went home talking about one name.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Jacob Chapman left out for tactical reasons at Crawley Town

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Match22 Aug 2026

Crawley Town draw a blank against Oldham Athletic

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Oldham Athletic defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Dion Pereira

Successful dribbles: 8. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market24 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Crawley Town and Andrew Brown

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
