Finding it difficult to complain about three wins in a row, moaners turned to the state of the pitch at The Valley and it has to be said that the investment in a new one does not seem to have paid off. I use Top Grass to keep my north facing patch of lawn in a walled garden in good condition so perhaps they could help out at Charlton (they're a national franchise and I would recommend them for lawn treatments).
Curbs has always said that one shouldn't get too pessimistic after a loss and too optimistic after a win and four wins in a row might be a challenge at Crawley, although we need to compensate for one of the most disappointing performances of the season. Needless to say, the away end, such as it is, is sold out.
Crawley have won three, drawn two and lost five at home. On Sunday they drew 4-4 at Exeter after being 4-1 ahead at half time. I haven't been able to find out what happened at Exeter, but it suggests that Crawley can score goals but also have a porous defence. We need to keep our defence tight, marshalled by Lloyd Jones, and rampage forward when the opportunity occurs.
In the West Sussex Badger prediction league, I forecast that we would be 8th at this stage of the season so 9th matches my expectations. The play offs are within reach, although the graphs provided by Louis Mendez show the extent of the challenge.
