00:03 OK, welcome to another episode of Goldmouth Action Podcast,
00:15 where we take a look at all the latest goings-on at Brighton,
00:18 Hove, Albion, Crawley Town, and all sports across Sussex.
00:22 I'm Darren Howard, and this week I'm
00:24 joined by Brighton, Hove, Albion writers Sam
00:26 Morton and Henry Bryant, and Crawley Town expert Mark
00:29 Dunford.
00:30 Albion were defeated by Liverpool at the weekend,
00:33 but got the point at Brentford in a drab 0-0 draw last night.
00:38 We look at those two games and look ahead
00:40 to Arsenal's visit to the American Stadium
00:42 this weekend.
00:43 Plus, we'll look back at the mixed Easter weekend
00:45 for Crawley Town that saw them drop out, then jump back
00:48 into the League Two playoffs.
00:50 You can read all the stories we are talking about with videos
00:52 and pictures online at sussexworld.co.uk/sport.
00:57 And you can check out our other great videos on shotstv.com
01:00 and Freeview channel 276.
01:03 You may also be watching on latest TV,
01:05 so thank you for tuning in.
01:08 First of all, we'll start with Brighton.
01:11 And Sam, you went to both the Liverpool games at Anfield
01:14 and then at the GTEC Community Stadium at Brentford.
01:17 What did you make of the performances?
01:18 And should the Seagulls have had more than the one point
01:22 to show for their troubles?
01:24 Yeah, it was two difficult games for Brighton.
01:26 For two different reasons.
01:27 Obviously, Liverpool were one of the most informed teams
01:29 in the league and Brighton went there,
01:32 probably not expecting to win.
01:33 I don't think many fans were expecting them to get a result
01:36 with the form that Liverpool were in.
01:38 I suppose some hope was that they would come back
01:39 after the session break and weird things can happen.
01:42 But Liverpool really did carry on from where they left off
01:45 in terms of the intensity and the kind of just relentless
01:48 attacking play that they showed.
01:50 But it was Brighton who took the early lead
01:52 through Danny Welbeck.
01:53 It was an amazing strike, really on the hard volley
01:55 right to the top corner.
01:57 You almost felt like they scored too early, maybe.
02:00 I think that's definitely what some people have been saying.
02:01 Maybe they took the lead too early
02:04 because Liverpool just had loads of time to respond to it
02:07 and to be able to turn it around.
02:09 And that's exactly what they did.
02:10 And they had the chance to win by more goals.
02:13 I think Brogdon had a really good game.
02:15 Lewis Stunck was brilliant, back to his best.
02:17 And Hadd Hekker as well has been brilliant all season.
02:20 But I think on another day, Brighton could have nicked a point.
02:23 I think the longer the game remained 2-1,
02:25 there was a couple of really big misses for Liverpool
02:29 where they should have scored.
02:30 And there was a couple of other moments.
02:32 And the longer the game stayed 2-1,
02:33 you felt Brighton could have nicked a point on another day.
02:36 Adam Nolana came on and had a great chance towards the end.
02:39 He did feel like it was all set up for a bit of a smashing grab
02:43 at the end.
02:44 But it wasn't to be.
02:45 And Liverpool came out 2-1 winners.
02:49 And at Brentford, you felt they needed to respond with a win.
02:51 It was a positive performance against Liverpool.
02:54 And you just hoped they would carry that on at Brentford.
02:56 Again, a much needed win because in the last eight games of the season,
02:59 they've got to face Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle,
03:03 Aston Villa, Man United, Chelsea.
03:05 It's just an incredibly tough run in the games they've got.
03:08 And Brighton, so you felt like a way at Brentford, never easy.
03:11 But one of those games, they probably really wanted to win
03:13 and to put themselves in a decent position.
03:16 But we just didn't see that intensity, really.
03:18 I think they really kind of lacked something going forward.
03:21 It was great to see Joao Pedro back.
03:23 And he really was a live wire.
03:25 And it looked like he's never been away.
03:27 And he was the most likely to create that goal scoring chance.
03:31 It didn't come, really.
03:33 And it was Danny Wilbert who came on and probably had the best chance
03:36 of the game.
03:37 And he was playing one-on-one and he was denied by a brilliant block.
03:40 And then injury time, he ran down the left-hand side.
03:42 And it was a brilliant run, actually.
03:44 It kind of left the defenders trading behind him.
03:47 And then you almost felt like you could have found Moda
03:49 if he looked up, but he went alone and put it wide of the goal.
03:53 But a frustrating one.
03:55 But they did really well to keep Ivan Toni quiet.
03:57 Really good defensive.
03:58 Yeah.
03:58 Brentford looked even less like scoring in the game.
04:00 So that goes as a credit to Brighton.
04:03 When you consider Brentford against Man United the other day
04:05 were absolutely relentless with the shots and the chances they had.
04:08 And Brighton really did limit what they could do going forward.
04:11 It was just a shame they couldn't nick a goal to win the game.
04:14 Nick a goal. Yeah.
04:15 Just quickly, what's the deal with Ansu Fatih?
04:19 He was a notable absentee from the squad yesterday.
04:22 Yeah.
04:23 So he was missing along with Evan Ferguson and Valentin Barko
04:27 were the three ones that we were surprised to see missing.
04:29 It was revealed quite early on that Evan Ferguson had picked up a minor knock.
04:32 So that was why he wasn't in the squad.
04:37 We weren't too sure why Ansu Fatih and Barko were there.
04:41 It wasn't until the press conference afterwards that the Serbi revealed
04:45 that he actually left them out of his own accord.
04:48 He decided to leave them out.
04:49 He said they weren't ready to be in the squad.
04:52 They need to go away and work alone to improve their physical condition,
04:56 he said about both Fatih and Barko.
04:58 And he was asked to elaborate on Fatih.
05:01 And he said that he's in no doubt about his ability.
05:05 That hasn't changed at all.
05:06 He's still one of the best talents for his age in the world.
05:10 But something is quite missing.
05:11 He has higher expectations of him than what we're seeing from Fatih.
05:14 And he is not showing the right mentality that he mentioned.
05:18 And he needs to work on his fitness.
05:20 So that's a real concern.
05:22 I think when you consider the money that he's on,
05:24 the excitement that there was when he signed.
05:25 Obviously, we've spoken before that he probably hasn't lived up to the hype,
05:29 you would say.
05:30 And he really has had opportunities to with Jao Pedro and Vitão
05:33 being out for long periods and other players that have been out.
05:36 He's been looking towards a player like Fatih to really step up and be counted.
05:41 He's not really done that, has he?
05:42 I think he obviously had a good run of form towards November time
05:48 when he got a goal against Ajax.
05:50 Yeah, he got a goal in the assist against Ajax.
05:52 And he got a goal against Manchester City in the consolation goal.
05:55 And he was just starting to show a little bit of what he can do.
05:57 And then he picked up that injury.
05:58 He was out for a few months.
05:59 And since returning, he really hasn't stepped up at all,
06:03 which is a strange one, obviously, because of the quality that we know he's got.
06:07 He hasn't really shown it brightly yet.
06:08 And it's obviously a strange one and a difficult one for Brighton to deal with.
06:13 Yeah, yeah.
06:14 It would be interesting to see an on-form Fatih,
06:16 who'd have been great against Brentford, wouldn't he,
06:17 to unlock that tough defence.
06:20 But interesting to see if he'd be in the squad against Arsenal this weekend, Henry.
06:26 Mikel Arteta's team, they looked really solid against Man City, didn't they,
06:29 in the 1-0 draw.
06:31 And then their second team pretty much swatted aside Luton last night.
06:35 What can happen?
06:36 You can get anything out of this at all,
06:38 do you think, Henry?
06:39 Well, I think that when I spoke to Dzerbi last night,
06:43 the final question that was asked at that press conference was,
06:46 you've got a really tough running of games.
06:48 How are you going to turn these somewhat decent performances into results?
06:53 And he said that we need to have big results and big wins against big teams.
06:58 And that'll be no different against Arsenal on the weekend.
07:01 And I feel like with the likes of Martin Udagali,
07:04 who's just been such an engine for them,
07:07 it's going to be quite difficult for Albion to just break down the team entirely.
07:12 And I think that we'll have to just see.
07:15 But in my opinion, I think it'll be a real tough game.
07:19 We could go either way, but it will be decided in the first 10, 20 minutes
07:23 to see if Albion are really able to push forward and actually create chances,
07:27 because there was a lack of creativity in some sense.
07:32 And in terms of the Brentford game,
07:35 it was quite a hard one to take for Albion fans,
07:38 because it looked like we were knocking at the door,
07:39 but just not creating any chances that would have resulted in a goal, really.
07:46 So, that was a shame.
07:48 Yeah, Brighton's home form is pretty good, though, isn't it?
07:51 Absolutely. I think I was speaking to Sam on the way down to the Brentford game yesterday,
07:58 and our away form is pretty shocking against London's sides away.
08:02 We haven't won many of those away in the capital.
08:06 But yeah, like you say, Brighton do have a really good home record at the moment.
08:10 And I'm hoping that with previous games that we've had with Arsenal,
08:14 we've been able to nick either a point or sometimes get three points out of them.
08:18 So, we'll just see. But they're in such good form at the moment.
08:21 And it really does depend if Brighton are able to show up and actually have their players,
08:27 like Jal Pedro, be in form for them for that game.
08:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah, indeed.
08:33 But some interesting matters off the pitch as well, Sam.
08:35 Brighton released figures boasting record profits,
08:38 which is, is that testament to a well-run club,
08:41 or do they just sell too many players, basically, Sam?
08:44 Yeah, I think both arguments are fair, I'd say, really.
08:46 I think, obviously, Brighton's profit will be that high
08:48 because they are so very good at signing players on the cheap,
08:52 and then they're sending them off to huge money.
08:54 And I think they're one of the best, if not the best in the world at doing that, really.
08:58 And we've seen it time and time again, obviously, most recently with Kaysedo.
09:02 Obviously, they probably didn't get as much money as they would like to
09:04 for a player like Alexis Mikhalis,
09:06 especially when you see how brilliant he's been for them
09:09 before one of the signings of the season.
09:11 So, they may be thinking they could have got more for him.
09:14 But I think that's a variety, really.
09:16 I think most of the time they get the most possible for a player.
09:20 And we've seen that time and time again,
09:21 because it looks like Kaysedo has gone for maybe too much money
09:24 than he probably should have done, perhaps.
09:26 So, it kind of works both ways.
09:28 But I think there definitely is an argument that
09:30 fans would always like them to see
09:32 would be less in profit if they were getting better results on the pitch.
09:36 And I think when the players they've lost this season,
09:38 especially Mikhalis and Kaysedo,
09:40 they've not really been able to replace them
09:42 as well as they might have hoped to,
09:45 as they have done in previous seasons when they've lost their key players.
09:48 I think it's definitely been the toughest challenge yet,
09:50 I think, with those two players.
09:51 And I think fans probably would have liked to have seen them
09:54 spend a bit more of that money they've made
09:56 to be able to get into the Europa League or even better.
09:59 I think they could have done with some more names in there.
10:03 But obviously injuries haven't helped at all.
10:06 But yeah, it's a difficult one,
10:07 because it's really a double-edged sword.
10:09 It is, isn't it?
10:10 How you run a club properly to stay in the Premier League
10:13 and compete against the big ones,
10:14 but also try and keep your best players as well.
10:17 It's very tricky, very tricky.
10:19 Yeah, and Henry, another piece of news off the pitch,
10:22 a new five-year contract extension
10:24 for the CEO and Deputy Chair, Paul Barber.
10:27 He's widely credited as being one of the best in the business
10:30 at what he does.
10:31 Would you go along with that?
10:34 I'll have to say yes,
10:35 because it's not only myself that thinks that and the fans,
10:38 but it's also De Zerby when he was asked in the post-match press conference
10:41 yesterday, said he is one of the best going around.
10:45 And you can just tell with the way that the club's run
10:48 and the sort of partnership between Tony Bloom and Paul Barber,
10:52 it's just unmatched and it's sort of that,
10:55 sort of, you know, an upcoming club that's been able to work so well
10:59 with, you know, the little resources that they had and building up
11:02 and getting these record transfer fees for some of their players.
11:05 And I think on paper, they've done remarkably well.
11:09 And speaking to Tony Bloom earlier in the year,
11:12 I asked him about if his goal overall when he did buy the club
11:15 was the Premier League.
11:16 And he said, yes, we always had very high ambitions.
11:18 So him and Paul Barber really do know what they're doing.
11:23 And I think it's great that Bryson can keep hold of him,
11:26 because as we've seen with recruitment staff at the Albion
11:30 and managers and backroom staff,
11:32 it always seems to be that it's a cycle of moving on
11:35 and then finding another replacement that's doing just as good, if not better.
11:39 So, yeah, no, it's just great to have him involved.
11:42 And I think that partnership between himself and Tony Bloom is an unmatched one
11:46 and really quality and key to what Bryson are doing.
11:50 Join us after the break, and we'll be talking about all things Crawley Town.
11:54 OK, the Easter weekend started badly for Crawley,
12:09 but ended brilliantly for them, didn't it, Mark?
12:11 Can you talk us through exactly what happened?
12:15 Yeah, it was a funny one, because going into Friday's game,
12:18 Good Friday's game against Doncaster, they were in the playoffs.
12:21 Everything was high, home crowd.
12:23 It was going to be-- they were hoping for a record crowd.
12:26 They got a record home attendance, home fan attendance,
12:29 but not an overall record attendance, because it was the first of their two
12:33 pound games, so cheap entry.
12:35 Hoping to fill it up, they thought it was going to be rocking,
12:38 playing Doncaster, a team who were in form, but were 19th in the table.
12:42 And they just didn't turn up, Crawley.
12:44 And yeah, Scott Lindsay was really disappointed afterwards.
12:46 They lost 2-0.
12:48 And he just said they just weren't aggressive enough,
12:51 and he just called it a massive missed opportunity,
12:53 because if they'd won that, it would have just really cemented
12:57 their place in the playoffs.
12:58 But they dropped out of the playoffs that night.
13:01 And he was asked whether being in the playoffs
13:05 added a bit of pressure to the players, and he said it might have done.
13:08 Maybe they're better off being outside the playoffs
13:10 and sneaking in right at the end.
13:12 But there were certainly no nerves at all on Monday, Easter Monday.
13:17 They went to Newport, always a tough trip.
13:19 They drew 2-2 there, I think, last year.
13:22 But they scored after 50 seconds, thanks to Dion Conroy returning.
13:26 First game in quite a while for him after getting injured at Harrogate.
13:30 And yeah, they didn't look back after that.
13:33 Ronan Darcy scored.
13:34 Lawrence Maguire scored an absolute cracker,
13:36 volley from a Will Wright free kick.
13:38 And then, oh, I can't remember who scored the final goal.
13:42 That's embarrassing, isn't it?
13:43 But yeah, it was Adam Campbell.
13:47 That's right. Really good team move, Adam Campbell.
13:49 Slide home, yeah.
13:51 So, yeah, it was an amazing performance.
13:53 They're back in the playoffs now, and other results, again,
13:55 going their way with Gillingham losing and things like that.
13:59 They've been quite lucky.
14:00 And actually, Lindsay said that after Friday's defeat,
14:03 we've been the tallest players.
14:04 We were lucky because all the results have sort of gone our way.
14:06 Teams were drawing, dropping points, etc. around them.
14:10 So, they're back in the playoffs now.
14:11 They've got a game in hand.
14:12 They're two points clear of it.
14:15 So, yeah, it's a really, really positive time.
14:19 And yeah, I mean, to beat Newport 4-0 away from home
14:22 is just quite a result and a real statement from them.
14:26 And I think, yeah, they really are in the pole position now.
14:29 They've got some tough games coming up, but I think they can...
14:32 I think we could be on the verge of a historic trip to Wembley for Crawley Tidwell.
14:35 Yeah, yeah.
14:36 Just on Newport very quickly.
14:38 Sorry, I think we've seen, obviously, earlier in the season
14:40 that they gave Man United a really hard game, didn't they?
14:42 Yeah, they did.
14:43 In the FA Cup.
14:44 And they really were.
14:46 I remember watching that game and seeing how kind of...
14:49 Obviously, it's easy to kind of probably play out your skins for games like that,
14:52 but you just saw kind of what they can do.
14:53 And Crawley just, yeah, completely put them to the sword
14:55 and Newport never looked like scoring.
14:57 So, it was, yeah, an incredible performance.
14:59 Really impressive.
15:00 To be fair, Sam, we could give Man United a tough game.
15:03 So, true. That's already true, Peter.
15:05 But, no, yeah, it was, Sam.
15:09 You're right. It was so impressive.
15:11 And it was Crawley's ninth away win this season.
15:14 What's the secret to their success on the road, Mark?
15:18 Well, you ask Scott Lindsay,
15:20 because he was asked this after the Newport game,
15:22 and he just said, "We're a better side than we were last year," sort of thing,
15:25 because they only won two games away last year.
15:28 He just said they're a good side.
15:29 But it's all down to Lindsay and his staff.
15:31 The amount of preparation they do into these games.
15:35 And I think it was after the Tranmere game as well,
15:38 because there was a couple of times where, like,
15:39 Jay Williams and Clydie Lollos, they were winding the home fans up.
15:43 And I think they just love putting it on the home fans' grounds they're visiting.
15:50 I think they just love winding them up.
15:52 So, that's a real incentive.
15:54 But plus all the meticulous planning that Scott Lindsay and his team do
15:57 into sort of the personal match-ups within the game,
16:00 how they're going to play.
16:01 I mean, we all know how Scott Lindsay's going to set up,
16:04 but there are just minor little, tiny little tweaks he makes to each game,
16:09 how they're pressing, who they're pressing,
16:11 how high up the pitch they're pressing, etc.
16:14 And I think, yeah, it's just down to that.
16:17 And like you said, they have got a much better team than last year.
16:20 I mean, last year, they were a way before them.
16:21 And another two two-more-away games this week for them, two tough ones.
16:26 They travel to title chase in Mansfield on Saturday
16:28 and then Wrexham on Tuesday.
16:31 Are these make or break for Crawley in their pursuit of the playoffs, Sam?
16:35 I think they're huge, huge games there.
16:37 And I think when you look at where their hands are at the table,
16:40 they're both going for automatic promotion.
16:43 They're tied neck and neck in points at the moment as well.
16:45 So, they're two teams that will be desperate to win themselves
16:49 going into this late stage of the season.
16:52 So, I think it's all set up to be a really exciting game
16:54 between teams that have so much to play for.
16:58 And that's really what you want to see coming through the late stage of the season.
17:02 I think it's the worst thing of any clinical game.
17:04 So, they have nothing riding on it.
17:06 It's a bit of a dead rubber, but having so much at stake.
17:08 And I think that's all set up to be a really exciting game.
17:11 And I think Crawley can really cause damage to both teams.
17:14 I think we've seen a little bit of mixed form,
17:16 especially from Mansfield, where they haven't put a run game,
17:19 run of wins together in recent weeks.
17:20 I think Wrexham have been in slightly better form.
17:22 And they did recently beat Mansfield in two.
17:24 Neil Wrexham did.
17:25 So, I think Wrexham are probably the team most in form out of the two.
17:28 But I think even if you can get a draw in both games,
17:31 or a win and draw, I think you don't necessarily have to win both.
17:34 But try and avoid defeat if possible.
17:36 And their away form has been so good, I want them to be able to pass Crawley.
17:38 So, yeah, it's two huge games.
17:41 Crawley can come away with two draws.
17:45 Even that would be good, I think.
17:48 I think it's actually a bigger game for Mansfield and Wrexham
17:50 than it is for Crawley, these two games.
17:52 I think, like Sam mentioned there, they're both chasing the title,
17:57 but they would have looked at Crawley, seen their away form.
17:59 I mean, Crawley battered Wrexham earlier in the season, but lost 1-0.
18:03 I think Wrexham and Mansfield will both look at this fixture and think,
18:07 "God, this is a tough one for us."
18:09 So, especially with Crawley's away form.
18:11 Yeah, it's going to be an interesting couple of games for them.
18:17 But one thing came out this week that struck us, Mark.
18:20 The EFL League Two Manager of the Season nominees have been announced.
18:24 And Scott Lindsay wasn't there.
18:27 What the heck's going on there?
18:28 That's a bit of a travesty, isn't it?
18:30 Oh, it's an absolute travesty, yeah.
18:32 I've written a piece, actually, this morning,
18:34 conveying my anger about why he hasn't been there.
18:36 I mean, there is a chance Crawley won't get in the playoffs.
18:40 I mean, they've got some tough games coming up.
18:44 They might not get there, but whatever happens,
18:46 the job Scott Lindsay has done this year, and I know he'll admit it,
18:50 it's not just him, it's his backroom staff, as I've mentioned,
18:52 and all that as well, and the way the players have signed up
18:55 to his philosophy and all that.
18:57 Everybody's...
18:58 But the job he has done, I mean, the biggest thing he's done
19:01 is stop the fans singing about Wagme.
19:04 Because that's all they did last year.
19:06 All they did was sing about Wagme.
19:07 And they seem to have forgotten about Wagme.
19:09 Well, some of them haven't, but a lot of them have.
19:11 And he's just made it such a feel-good factor around the place.
19:14 And the players that he's got in, we've talked about it a lot,
19:19 but non-league players, Clydie Lollos was at Oxford City,
19:23 Jay Williams was at Banbury Town.
19:25 Yes, Banbury United, sorry.
19:29 And they've become first-team regulars.
19:31 Will Wright wasn't wanted by Gillingham.
19:33 Liam Kelly was relegated with Rochdale last year.
19:36 And that is all players that teams didn't really want or didn't really...
19:40 And he's made them into this team that could be on the verge
19:43 of a trip to Wembley, which is just incredible.
19:47 Nigel Clough's been nominated.
19:49 Lee Bowell of Crewe, I think, is, and Mike Williamson of MK Dons,
19:52 they're the three that have been nominated.
19:54 I mean, there's a real possibility Crawley could beat Crewe
19:57 and MK Dons in the playoffs.
19:59 How embarrassing is that going to look for the EFL
20:01 or whoever's decided these three nominees?
20:04 If Scott Lindsay's team gets promoted above those two,
20:07 it's just utterly ridiculous.
20:09 He hasn't been recognised for the job he's done.
20:11 I mean, at the end of the day, it's an award.
20:13 It doesn't really matter.
20:15 I mean, I'm sure it doesn't bother Scott Lindsay.
20:17 He hasn't given one thought to it.
20:18 But all the fans and everybody around Crawley Town
20:21 will know the job he has done.
20:23 And think he's probably been recognised for it.
20:25 So, yeah.
20:26 But onto the score predictions for this weekend.
20:32 Henry, we'll come to you first.
20:34 Brighton versus Arsenal, 5.30pm kickoff
20:37 at the Amex Stadium this Saturday.
20:40 What do you think to that one?
20:42 Well, I think that it really is going
20:45 to be dictated in the first 10, 20 minutes
20:47 to see how Brighton are going to respond
20:49 to a few performances where they have played well,
20:52 but not had that attacking threat.
20:53 And it's going to be a case of if we can get that spark back.
20:57 So, my prediction would be 2-1 with
20:59 Gilles Pedro to feature on the score sheet.
21:02 Yeah. Yeah.
21:03 Mark, do you think that's...
21:05 Do you think Brighton can get anything from this one?
21:08 I don't know.
21:09 I've been so impressed with Arsenal this year.
21:11 They just seem like a different team.
21:14 So, I think it's going to be 2-1 or 3-1 Arsenal.
21:18 Yeah, I'd go with 3-2 Arsenal, I think.
21:21 Sam, do you think Brighton can get anything from this?
21:25 I don't think so.
21:26 I think Arsenal will win this one, 2-1.
21:29 I think, yeah, they're too strong at the moment
21:31 and they have to win for their own title race.
21:35 And I think, yeah, it's a really tough game for Brighton.
21:37 Hopefully, they can make a good account of themselves,
21:39 but I think Arsenal will come out 2-1 winners.
21:42 Fair enough.
21:42 And, Mark, we're looking at Crawley Town now.
21:45 Mansfield versus Crawley on Saturday.
21:49 I think they can get something.
21:51 I think they can get a draw at Mansfield.
21:53 Mansfield haven't been in the greatest form.
21:55 So, I'm going to go for 1-1 at Mansfield for Crawley.
21:57 1-1 at Mansfield.
21:58 Henry, what do you think is going to happen at Mansfield?
22:02 Well, like Scott Lingsley was saying,
22:04 there's maybe a bit of pressure on the players.
22:07 So, I feel like it will be a difficult fixture for them.
22:11 But I'd probably have to almost go ahead
22:13 with the same thing as Mark and say a 1-1 there.
22:17 1-1, yeah.
22:18 I'll probably go with a 1-1 as well.
22:20 Sam, how do you see that one going?
22:23 2-1 Crawley.
22:24 Their waveform's going to continue.
22:25 They're going to be solidifying the playoff.
22:29 Good stuff.
22:29 Good stuff.
22:30 We hear the Premier League sides complain about fixture schedules,
22:33 but Crawley are straight back in it on Tuesday.
22:36 They're at Wrexham, Mark.
22:37 What's going to happen there?
22:39 They're going to win at Wrexham, I think.
22:40 I'm going to go 2-1.
22:42 Like I said earlier in the season at the Brawthorne Stadium,
22:45 Crawley absolutely battered Wrexham and somehow lost 1-0.
22:49 They just could not score that day.
22:50 So, yeah, I think Lindsay will have the better of them.
22:53 And yeah, I'm going to go for 2-1 Crawley.
22:56 2-1 Crawley.
22:57 Henry, would you agree with that?
22:59 I think that it will be the same case
23:02 and it will be a case of Crawley having all of the ball
23:05 and then in the last few minutes of the game conceding.
23:08 To be honest with you, I think it'll be one of those games
23:10 where they perform really well
23:11 and it's just not quite what it seems
23:14 and it will be a 1-0 defeat.
23:16 1-0 defeat.
23:17 Fair enough.
23:18 Sam, just quickly, can you see Crawley getting anything from Wrexham?
23:22 I think it'll be a draw.
23:23 I'm going to go for 1-0.
23:24 1-0 draw.
23:25 I think Wrexham will take the lead and Crawley will equalise.
23:28 Yeah, yeah.
23:29 I think I'll agree with that one as well.
23:31 I think it's two draws coming up for Crawley, I think.
