Pete O’Rourke reporting that MK are set to sign Liam Kelly from Crawley. Crawley have well and truly had their team ripped apart haven’t they. Huge job on their hands to replace them and stay up this season. when we signed addai it was reported by the same person (Crawley fan) that he was going there. Seems the perfect type of player for mk dons. Evans doesn't even start for them

They’ve made some panic signings and have wasted a lot of money over the last 24 months. Billy Waters signed from Barrow. Did nothing and then didn’t even get registered for most of last season. Jack Marriott was seen as the star signing that would win them the title. He barely got a kick for them. Parkinson is not a great manager & his style of play is years out of date. Parkinson does know how to swear a lot though

You,d think with a promoted team the opposite would be happening.

Feel they,ll have to change eventually especially when they are having an average mid table season.

Crawley have been odd since the crypto bro's took over...had that first year sacking managers left right and centre and the owner ending up on the bench, second year getting promotion and now ripping apart the team...just when you thought they'd 'got' it

He's clearly done alright with them. You can see why they might have wobbled on this in the autumn of 21 - I walked behind a load of Wxm on Mercian Way after we beat them 2-1 and they were seething about what they were watching around that time. I think they've been rewarded for not bottling it then.
On the other hand, I do agree that their style of football is likely to get found out unless they change. It's not sour grapes, because the defeat didn't really matter to the CHAMPIONS, but I thought they were fairly one-dimensional against us at their place. Lots of knocking it forward and hoping to either pick up the bits or that Mullin would pull out something magical. Fine for L2, but not sure it'll work in L1. As it happened, their second goal came from what I recall being the best bit of football they played all afternoon. So it might be in there...

In the NL in both games at the racecourse they were the best team by a mile against us even if it is hard to admit it. Looking at last season as well it seems no matter who the home team is they seem to be the team who will win that game therefor making honours even.

Looking at last season as well it seems no matter who the home team is they seem to be the team who will win that game therefor making honours even. Well, in the first game at theirs in 21/22 we were by far the better team until half time and missed some great chances to put them away. They were the better side after break but they said themselves that those two late goals, in particular the first one, were goals you couldn't see coming in a game between two evenly matched teams. The second game I can accept we were second best, although again we were significantly the better side and should have scored a couple before they got one. After that, they bossed it - can't complain. We missed out again at their place last season, because again we had the chances to have put them away before they scored and, frankly, in terms of football quality, that first half showed why we were champions. That's our fault for not being more clinical, but I'd dispute they were on a par with us over the two games.

We should have been out of sight at h/t.
