Sussex Derby Ends In Defeat

Crawley V Eastbourne one of the biggest derby's in the world. Easily matching Inter Milan V AC and Barcelona V Real Madrid.

Arriving at the ground at 7 our fans are are told straight away to go into the ground as we are segregated and can go nowhere else, Trouble expected eh ?

Eastbourne must have underestimated how many Crawley would travel as at 7.15 the cue for the food was a good 30 long and they were running out of food. After 25 minutes in the cue I finally got food at it was neally kick off !

Out come the teams and here it is the sussex derby !

Crawley's team come out at an away game to singing (Very suprising for the away fans) and the chats of Blue Army get louder each go.

First half not very much to talk about as it was pretty even and again if Crawley had a decent striker we would have no doubt scored but the Crawley faithful stayed supportive throughout with fantastic backing to their side.

Second half and within 40 seconds Crawley are 1-0 down. A looping headers goes towards goal and our keeper makes no attempt to save it. Fantastic !

It even wakes up the Eastbourne fans for about 2 minutes while they sing, Shock !

The game goes on but Crawley continue to struggle due to the lack of effort shown from the players and everyone could see it coming Eastbourne score again. Yet again a keeper error as he steams out of his box and doesn't manage to get the ball. Top job.

Credit goes to the Crawley faithful who continue to show backing to their side throughout which only seemed to be getting louder !

After their second goal the game changed and Crawley seemed to take control of the game. More poor finishing ends up with Crawley failing to test their goalkeeper.

From a corner (Literally) Crawley pulled 1 back. A straight drilled corner gets a flick from the near post and sails into the net.

Crawley really gained control of the game from here but more awful finishing leads to Crawley failing to gain a second.

The game showed that:

Most of the player do not care about the club
Evans picks the wrong players in the wrong positions and has the wrong tactics
Eastbourne fans are quiet until they score when for 5 minutes they are loud
Crawley do have passionate fans and can sing at an away game, For 90 minutes too !!!!

Eastbourne 2-1 Crawley Town
Eastbourne Fans 0-1 Crawley Fans !

Outsung at home tut tut !

BLUE ARMY !
