It wasn’t exactly euphoria but Friday night’s “Meet The Board” proved enlightening and for me, personally, it was revelatory.

That comes from studiously avoiding social media partly because it seems to bring out the worst in people.

We left the meeting in good heart but unfortunately Saturday promptly followed and ruined everything.

The only plus-point from the disastrous single-goal defeat was that there was no sign of the capitulation that occurred at Mansfield.

The team battled right until the final whistle and maybe deserved a point but, on the other hand, if a team dominates proceedings so much and still fails to achieve anything do they actually merit any reward?

The match stats show that Crawley had 22 attempts on goal but failed to get a single one on target.

That statistic is chilling news for the managers but at least shooting can be coached.
