Crawley must have left wondering how they had managed to come away with the 3 points as they were 1 of the worst sides to visit this season. The first half was a non event apart from slack defending gifting them the goal from a simple through ball and that was the only attacking threat they posed all game as Roberts did not have to make a save. Unfortunately their 'keeper also had a pretty easy afternoon as the stats tell the story, 14 corners, 17 shots with only 1 on target as Lewis, Hoskins, etc all blazed decent chances over the bar. After a lack of intensity in the first half we came out with more purpose in the second but despite the early pressure we failed to work their 'keeper. We were better in the final quarter after the subs had been made and Zimba looks like he has goals in him but could not convert the 1 on 1 when put through by Kabamba's flick on. I don't think he is able to play the Etete role and we are probably going to have to revert to playing 442 to accommodate him with a target man. I thought our set play delivery was below the usual standard and was puzzled by the decision to take Koiki off, who had made several good bursting runs, and then put Pinnock at left back. We are now at the half way point of the season and our 3 strikers have a total of 2 goals and therein lies our problem. Not difficult to see what needs fixing in the transfer window. After 6 weeks without a home game it was rather disappointing to record our lowest home Saturday attendance, it was not as if they weather was particularly bad. With FGR and Sutton to follow a vast improvement on that performance is needed otherwise we are going to have a very bad month.
