Kelly tries to shield it but gives it away, then Bayliss gets it and Kelly tries the wait for the player then dive but didnt get it.

No idea today.

Going to plump for a 2-2 and us for once getting a late equaliser.

McDonald and Ponticelli late on from the bench.

But Mcdonald started. ;-)

 

[Nick]

We look very narrow so far.

 

[Esoterica]

Good tempo so far. Pressing high up the pitch. JCH higher up and McNulty a little deeper. Kelly playing a good 15 yards higher than Doyle so far too.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

We look very narrow so far.

Bet Steve Evans doesn't?

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Sounds a cracking atmosphere

 

[ccfcway]

I thought that Reid would start. He would cause some problems for Mansfield.

He’s caused some problems for us !

 

[skyblueinBaku]

It's early, I know, but Wycombe and Swindon are both losing.

 

[ccfcway]

We look very narrow so far.

Very, but it’s no surprise

 

[Nick]

Passing it round a lot but not really getting anywhere with it as it just ends up with us giving it away and them countering.

 

[Nick]

Goal kicks are coming back at us every time, aimless.

We're lulling them into a false sense of security!

 

[Nick]

Bayliss hasn't been effective at all, Shipley has had some possession but doesn't put the ball in the box.

 

[sw88]

Header won by JCH, Bayliss to McNulty, back to JCH, shot saved

Counter attack, Willis last man pulls his attacker down, straight red

 

[wingy]

Oh fuck Willis.

 

[Otis]

We never make things easy for ourselves do we.

 

[Nick]

Willis sent off. Takes their man out clean through.

Burge had the ball already though.

Fucking stupid, straight from their goal kick.

 

[wingy]

Expensive, where do we make the change ?

 

[wingy]

Jesus .

 

[Nick]

Can hear their fans talking

"A bit harsh"
"He would never have got control of that ball"

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Nearly said on here earlier, we haven't had many reds this season (one?) until now.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

No chance we get a result here with 10 men, moron Willis

 

[torchomatic]

Bloody bollocks

 

[sw88]

Free kick that follows deflects in

1-0 Mansfield

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Crawley 1 -0 down now. Things are going our way in other matches. Hope we can capitalise on it.

 

[Otis]

Oh bum. 0-1

Could be game over already.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Brainless challenge. That's us fucked then.

 

[Sky]

All you can do is laugh

 

[sw88]

Expensive, where do we make the change ?

One of the midfielders for Hyam, surely?

 

[Nick]

That's embarassing. Willis didn't need to do that, burge should have had that ball all day.

 

[sw88]

All you can do is laugh

Or cry

 

[Esoterica]

Was so pleased with the start too. So much more intent than we've previosuly had away from home. Never bring a man down clean through in L2, just as likely to miss as they are score at this level.

 

[Nick]

One of the midfielders for Hyam, surely?

We need to try and get a result here though.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Oh fuck off Willis you cock.

Hopeless now, Kelly just aimlessly puts it forward.
