They have won 6 of the last 8 games at home, now I don't feel so confident as I have been all week. How does everybody else feel ?

I feel that on our day we are a better side, but they will try and bully us and intimidate us and knock us off our game. I expect a very high tempo from them, with us not being allowed to settle.
I think we need to go toe to toe with them as best we can and get stuck in and not let them harrass us.
Personally, I think we will get beaten, but will be safe due to Notts County or Crewe slipping up.
Notts C won 5 in last 29 matches
Crewe won 2 out their last 9 at home
I would say I feel rather better now.
We've also not conceeded a goal away from home in our last 4 matches. Got 0-0 written allover it which would do for us.
Rather Martin or 3 at the back than bloody Donkey here is a goal as im shit Webster
Rather willis recover and put him CB to deal with the pace they posses up top next to Johnson.

Another Crawley fact;
Nuneaton Town have thrown a spoke in Coventry City’s survival wheel by making sure that Crawley Town midfielder Lee Fowler can play in Sunday’s relegation dogfight at the Broadfield stadium.
Fowler, who launched his career as a Sky Blues apprentice, joined the Red Devils on loan from Boro in August after Dean Saunders, his manager during a spell at Wrexham, was drafted in as an interim replacement for the ailing John Gregory.
That arrangement was due to end this week but, Fowler revealed: “I have had to sign for Nuneaton again and extend the loan so I can play in this game.
“To be fair to Nuneaton it was them who rang the FA and asked them for permission because I was due to go back. I am over the moon I am able to play in this game.”
Crawley need to win the game while a draw would keep Coventry safe but 31-year-old Fowler, who has played for a dozen clubs since leaving City in 2003, reckons the home team have the edge.
“I don’t think they are as well organised as us,” he said. “We have a game-plan which was shown against Swindon away."
The Boro really don't like us much do they!

Well one player has had his words shoved down his gob in the championship this week, Maybe Fowler wants to be league one's.

Yep. I like it when the opposition try and brag some sort of superiority.
Good motivational tool for us, that.
Talking of motivational tools, what's Andy Thorn up to these days?

I can almost picture the Nuneaton Town secretary on Sunday afternoon - sat in a large swivel chair, stroking a white cat sat upon his lap.

Fowler will enjoy being tormented by Ward and Fleck and O Brien playing keep ball ( for three passes)
Thorn is currently scouting for Jim Bean in the outback looking rather red faced, says its too much sun though.

Ready to press the button on his desktop tannoy, to call out in his evil, villainous voice, 'Kill them kill them all!'
So what happens if Fowler scores a free kick to send us down in the 89th..

We move to Nuneaton, take over Liberty Way, call it HR2 and boot them out to play park football in a Sunday league no-one has even ever heard of.

Cue a thousand posts on 'Ten reasons why we should never have let Lee Fowler go'. And then make it our close season mission to cull every white cat in the Nuneaton area. If any poodle/bijon friese should be caught up in the frenzy then so be it.

Have you seen Lee Fowler of late? If we can't at least draw with this lot we deserve to go down.
He's even fatter than fatty Fleck.

and our status gets nearer to theirs with each season.

He has also been one of their better performers with a few assists and a 1 or 2 winners.

Go on Sir, just a waffer thin mint!
Watch him score to send us down and get his belly out, it would be your fault!
It will indeed be my fault. They can sit in on my own in the North stand next season in penance
