At the end of the day, even if they get tonked 10-0 (which they won't) it really doesn't matter one bit, they will probably have banked c £1.5 million from this years FA Cup run and as a football club they have set themselves up nicely for perhaps the next 10 years. It just goes to show what a small club with some real ambition (albeit a massive gamble on the part of their investors) can achieve at this level, or in Crawley's case the one below. Perhaps if we had of allowed Bucks to spend a bit more in the summer, added one or two in key positions, then it might just have paid off for us in the way it has so spectacularly for Crawley.
The "atmosphere" on Tuesday night, never mind the attendance (c 1500?) is going to be very, very flat I fear. However the players (and the fans) have just got to pick themselves up as if we don't I can see this knocking the club big time. It wouldn't be the first tme that a clubs form has gone on the slide after a major disappointment and we must make sure it doesn't happen to us. We are not so far off the relegation spots to be comfortable just yet and for that reason alone the next two home games are vitally important as far as our season goes - two wins would be nice - and lets hope we can get to 50 points sooner rather than later.
