I haven't seen the forward's (Smith?) challenge on the keeper back but right there, at the time, it really looked as though he did that deliberately. He went to stop then thought "Im having him". I was a forward, I know about leaving a sly one on the keeper when they're diving at your feet. This was more than that. Honest opinion.
When I first posted I didn't know about the foul for your winner as I'm about as far away from that as possible to be. It was a foul but a bit hard for the ref to see. A team like Wrexham, top of the table, sometimes gets them, sometimes not. A team like Crawley, at the bottom of the league, always has them go against.
McClean was actually funny. If you get grief from the crowd give it back. Nothing out of order from where I was.
Lovely goal for our equaliser! That's what we should be talking about.

Yeah I didn't think there was much wrong with Smiths challenge on the Keeper. Both entitled to go for that ball. In general I was quite impressed with your keeper. The fact you almost got the point (and possibly deserved to) was largely down to him I thought.
Definitely a foul be Lee before the winner. We got lucky there (and as you say those things rarely seem to go the way of the team scrapping for points) and in general we didn't play well- particularly in the second half. We've been like that for weeks now. Thankfully still picking up points which is masking it somewhat.
I didn't think Crawley looked a bad side, just had nothing up top. With Smith and Rodriguez joining (who did ok considering they only signed on Friday) and then able to bring on Marriott, Fletcher and Lee it shows the difference in squad depth within the league.
As an aside it's funny to see Crawley fans complain that we shouldn't even be in this league and only got where we are due to money. I think some recent history lessons are probably needed.
