Changed my lose vote to win vote now, hope the players are getting the feel-good feeling and are revved up and ready to go for tomorrow.

I can see PB asking a lot of questions and respecting the opinions of Mr Duncan and Fagan.
There could be a few of the seemingly discarded younger players involved and a re-birth for the likes of Kyp.
Picking a team will be tough for us punters but the side will include forwards, and I think a few new set piece ideas, maybe a new captain?
And I hope the times of players paying no heed to the instructions from the sidelines to be lessened.

you mean like he respected Sturrock’s opinions on the team selection for Wembley?

this is the most egotistical man in football. This will have Phil Brown’s stamp, and only Phil Brown’s stamp on it

No, where do I suggest that he would take a "tip" from MM (prev manager)?

Most egotistical? Wow, that is a stretch, he will be high up the list of minor managers but a long way down the combined player, manager, pundit, ex player/manager list for that rank although I suspect you are high on the list of the unimpressed observers.

You are spot on, it will be his pick, his stamp and his last rolling of the dice on our club's league status.

Like him or loathe him, I am indifferent, but I really hope he can pull us out of this impending disaster.

Get that done and then we will see.

As Crawley have 2 points from the last 18, we've gone 9 home games without a win, ( law of averages etc ) if we don't win tomorrow then imo it's all over.

We’ve been handed a huge lifeline courtesy of our 12 fingered friends. Don’t let this chance slip tomorrow!

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Not sure this match will have PBs stamp on it ,but im darn sure the players will want to show PB that they can play football and also sure that there will be some voices heard from the senior players on that pitch during the game ,to help each other , PB wont allow heads to drop and strikers will now shoot on site they more than anyone have to show up and prove themselves .PB will listen to Fagan and Duncan on how the team should be picked and then decide on the formation .GO you blues , now is your time to shine !
