First time I saw Crawley v Burton it was a Southern Premier game. Burton had to move into the Northern Premier to get promoted to the Conference. Their manager at the time said of the move (I paraphrase) At least we will not have to go to Crawley any more. Good ol' Nigel Clough. I try to remind...

Strange one that Adam. Bolton fans seem to think their manager should be changed because he is not good enough. Still, ten loses on the bounce and the goodwill for Clough will be toast. We all say they should be given some leeway because of their previous record but they seldom are. It is a...

Last season Wimbledon wanted £27 for a game in league 2. I just decided not to go. Casey

Managed to sneak a win in extra time. Both scorers bagging their first for the club. We're in the hat. Looks as though it will cost us our keeper for a couple of weeks as he has concussion. Young kid, Jasper Sheik, got his debut to replace him. He is really well regarded around the club but the...

Just been released by Crawley. Video with our groundsman (who decided to spend a year as kitman) speaking about pitch care and so on. It's more interesting than I've made it sound but it is Crawley's groundsman talking about pitches in general with a few memories of the season thrown in. Casey

Only ones that are pie in the sky. It's always easy to overspend other people's money. Ask them to pay extra to watch a game Ans see how quick they scream about that. Casey

Probably buy my lot with change down the back of the sofa! Casey

We already have "fans" calling for Rob Elliot to be sacked at Crawley. Got feel sorry for him. The squad he has been served up just does not have the wherewithal to compete. For instance, two of the three defenders had one season in the pro game and the other had 4 games. The two pivots we...

I didn't go to the Northampton game yesterday and I'm bloody glad I didn't! Those who did say Crawley were completely powderpuff, slow and preferred to keep the ball to trying to attack. Sums up our season. Watched the highlights, the defending for the first goal was terrible! Short corner...

I'm not despondent. I just don't think we have the players to do well in this league. It's about levels, a player can be good at league 2 and look rubbish at league 1. I'm hearing we went with a back four of 4 centre backs last night ( no full backs at the club) plus a more direct counter...

Dear lord what happened. I'm far away and no access to anything but a friend's texts. Thanks Lincoln, always liked you. Casey

I'm not sure we will win another game until January when we can get some defenders in. Mukena is a young lad who will come good but leaving him on his own at the back while the other two defenders fly forward us unfair in him. I believe the modern term for it is rest defence. There should be 3...

Benjamin Tanimu made his debut away at Reading yesterday. He got 12 minutes and we didn't concede while he was on the pitch. Casey

And he has joined us while recovering from injury. Casey

First calls for Rob Elliot to be sacked I'm a long way away so no real comment apart from we look great between the boxes and crap in them. The players we have are not good enough to stay in the league so it is a bit unfair to blame the current manager but football has never been fair. Casey

Just signed free agent Tyreece John-Jules. Ex Arsenal but never played. Been on loan at Lincoln, Donny and Ipswich. His record says he is a one goal in four striker but it's hard to say with youngsters as they tend to play as subs and such Casey He is related to Cat

Flint and Williams suspended for Crawley. That leaves our defence looking woefully light. I'd bring in Malone but the ' betting' is he will not play for quite a while. Conroy, the club captain, has been injured all season and was last seen with a big boot. That leaves us with a back three of...

We let in 9 goals last week and scored 6. I'm not a football coach but I have a sneaking suspicion of what area we need to work on. Flint getting himself sent off was stupid. Pretty much the same foul within ten minutes. Obviously misses the next game but I think that makes five bookings. He...

We were doing ok until the sending off (I would have given the two yellows) . Then Elliot had a brain fart and replaced the midfield. Good grief Mularky is a liability! Barker isn't ready for league football and after those subs, and where he played them, I'm not sure Elliot is either. If we...

We ain't very good. Luckily, not or they. After seeing us v Bolton and Mansfield recently this is a poor showing. If we can perform as we did in those two loses we were walking this game. Sorry Salop. Casey
