The equaliser was coming way before the sending off. Slocombe kept us in the match, but the stats don't lie - we took a pounding and on another night it could have been 4 or 5.
Taking off Jones at Crowley was ridiculous and completely killed any attacking threat we had. This defensive tweak lasted less than a minute before they equalised and then it was pretty much inevitable they would go on to win. Once again, too many players either playing well below par or not putting in the required effort.
Macca needs resting. He was poor again tonight and he's just not impacting the game at all.
What was the point in bringing Jatta on in the 90th minute? He should have taken Macca off around 70 minutes and given Jatta a run then.
A disappointing result once again and we're now into total freefall with no sign of hitting the bottom. I can see the 'Maynard Out' chants coming out at the next home game if we don't get a result.
Our players are clearly not useless - at times we played some good football but so did Crawley, Robertson lacking experience and just not good enough yet at this level , let himself and the team down. We were clearly lacking height up front and Maynard taking off JJ & Crowley was a bad mistake. Some promise shown but much to get right.

What would those projections look like basing them on current form and not the season as a whole? FGR have got 10 points out the last 5, which is a far better PPG than the table shows. We have 0 from 5 and I don't see SM getting another point at this rate. I think we're safe but not as safe as that table suggests.
On Maynards interview after the match he stated that Robertson had given everything tonight, what match was he watching he was awful before the stupid sending off, and should have been withdrawn sooner. Could not believe he took jones off, what kind of manager have been left with!
