Ben's Crawley Thread

Tubbsy to get top scorer. 2nd is very nice to see, as well as smashing 11 past AFC Wimbledon.

Yeah Tubbs is class, Akinde got injured and this Brandy has come in and scored 4 hat-tricks though

Thought I'd get revenge on them for the 3-0 drubbing in the Carling Cup play-off

It's always nice to beat them in any game. Though I started a new FM game today as Tottenham with updated squads and Crawley lost to them in the play-off game.

Are you and Wimbledon rivals sorta because of competing against each other and being only 25 miles apart?

Yeah, a rivalry has sort of built up over the years.

Similar with us, Norwich and Millwall, until this year

Can't wait til the league games between us, one should be put on Sky IMO, always has goals.

Are you on Sky at all?

I believe the away game to Northampton on the 8th October is on Sky as it's listed on the website as 12.45 kick off even though doesn't say anything about being on TV.

Ahh nice one. Might give it a watch.

November Update:

Another month with a 100% record in the league. Got knocked out of the JPT in the Quarter's against Charlton on pens but I'm not that fussed about that. Pleased that I managed to hold Scunthorpe away as well.

Results:

Table:

1st in the league, exactly where we should be!

Not going to like this then

December Update:

Not a good month. I managed to beat Scunthorpe to progress into the 3rd round of the FA Cup which was a plus but after that my players have just been exhausted and I've slipped off a bit in the last few games. My 3rd round tie is against Bolton which should be good.

Results:

Table:

Still 2nd though which is good.

January Update:

Again, not a great month but I picked it up towards the end. Not too worried about the Bolton result but Tubbs missed a penalty at 1-0 I'm now out of all the cups so can focus solely on the league.

February Update:

A pretty good month all in all. It frustrates the hell out of me though that every single game that I have 0 points from all games where I failed to take the lead. Any game I've not scored first in, I've not scored in at all.

Results:

March Update:

For the 3rd month in a row I had a 100% record in the league bar the one loss (actually, on reflection, I didn't ). I got absolutely trounced by AFC Wimbledon, much like back at the start of the season. I was pleased to pass 100 goals though

Nice to see 100 goals, could've done with at least 6 yesterday. I see Play-off spot is confirmed as well! Automatic promotion or day out at Wembley?

Auto's I'd hope! Being a Leeds fan I hate the play-offs.

We've moved into 1st at just the right time, Swindon have been bottling it somewhat so hopefully we can stay ahead. I do have a pretty tough run-in though. 3rd, 4th and 6th in my last 5 games.

Here's hoping they bottle it on Tuesday as well. I wouldn't mind a day out at Wembley with Crawley to be honest, just so long as we win.

Indeed Nah seriously play-offs are too stressful man! Obviously it'd be great looking back if you'd won but at the time it's absolutely horrible!

I guess, but like a year after Old Trafford to go to Wembley would be amazing for us. Then again I'd take automatic so we're there already.

April Update:

Wahoo! Promotion.







Obviously a great month because I won promotion, but also I played really well throughout the month against quite tough opposition. Shame I let a 3-1 lead slip against Port Vale.

Table:

Do I win the league though? Stay tuned to find out.



Pretty much a given really.

Yay! You better have won the league.

Gotta take something spectacular for me to lose it really

I am against Rotherham though who are still fighting for automatic promotion and Swindon are against Southend who have nothing to play for in 14th.

Still, I am not going to lose 5-0 and Swindon are not going to lose 5-0

In fact yeah, a point and you're there. Come On You Reds!

Swindon are 4-0 up after 17 mins

And we are?

Nope, I lost.

Uhoh

Damn it Ben!
