Creepy Crawley:1 U's:0 - loan rangers needed (and 20 word match reports)

I wasn't at Crawley on Saturday and am not sure what to make of the performance.

On the one hand the radio commentators were making sound as if we were knocking the ball about with the vim and precision of Brazil circa 1970, and that we were unlucky not to win comfortably. However, a glance at the messageboard suggests most people who were in attendance weren't so impressed.

Either way, it's obvious that Lingy needs to dip into the loan market, not least because Pottsy looks set to be sidelined for eight - 10 weeks with shoulder-knack. Re-enforcements are definitely needed up front as well; I know Phillips hasn't had that many games but surely time must be running out for him - I'm not entirely sure what he contributes, as he doesn't seem to be an out-and-out target man or a goalscorer. And as much as I harbour vague hopes that the Forest Green version of Mark Beesley will turn up before the end of the season, it seems highly unlikely, and I'm a bit bemused as to why Lingy continues to use him as a non-impact sub when Adam Marriott seems to have a greater effect on games.

On the match itself, here are the latest crop of 20-word match reports, the Broadfield toilets are getting a bit of love, and rightly so;

Powderpuff in attack.
I had two tuna sandwiches.
The Broadfield toilets are good.
Tired now, after a 'nothing' game.

The Us put in a disapponting performance @ Crawley The side looked void of ideas and inspiration.D Crow had Us best chance.

Russell looked good, Reason played well, Evans was loud, Crow missed a sitter, the toilets were nice. And we lost.

Ling's Awkward Smile,  10 February 2010 at 00:45  

Just got back from Salisbury. Too despondent for a haiku (or for 20 word brevity). We were dreadful from start to finish. No creativity, no fight, no urgency, no talent, no clue.

The sooner this lot shape up or ship out the better. It's not all Ling's fault but I'm beginning to run out of excuses for him, his tactics & team selection. Something needs to change within the next 2 matches or we're going to have a real fight on our hands.
