I was there, only second time this season - for me it was a great defensive effort, especially the way we had the beating of their (considerably taller) forwards in the air much of the time. The last ten minutes were frantic but the lads gave all they had. From a long way away, I thought their goal was taken very well out of virtually nothing. Bavs made a couple of unbelievable saves (and a couple of worrying flaps but hey....).

But Winnard m-o-m for me, then Barnett who showed more calm than the others in keeping possession. Long and Coid did OK for me too.

Spray had a thankless job up front alone, especially as Amond got sucked deeper and deeper into defence. He died five minutes before he was substituted - he'd certainly given all he had to give. Lindfield did a good job in his time on the pitch, chasing our long clearances out of defence, worrying the back line more than somewhat and, crucially, slowing down the inevitable return of the ball for the next wave of Crawley attack.

I was expecting a torrid time and from the start Crawley looked dangerous - but they never really delivered. In the end, I was actually disappointed that we didn't hang on to the win - but ever so relieved that we survived the 6 minutes (where did they come from?) of added time.
