After last week’s welcome return to winning ways in Wales for our patched up U’s, it’s time for our first Friday night football of the season. I’ve always enjoyed a Friday night game, reminds me of nights at Layer Road, and I wish we had a few more of them. We now have six home games left, including this one, and only two are on a Saturday at three o’clock. We have two Friday night fixtures, a Tuesday evening and an afternoon game on Good Friday.
Danny made a surprising number of changes before the Newport game so it’s not easy to predict what team he’s going to select for this evening but I’m guessing the U’s will line up as follows:
Macey
Vincent Young Tucker Flanagan Terry
Bishop Barbrook
Lisbie Anderson
Payne
Tovide
Subs
Akachukwu, Goodwin, Gordon, Hunt, Read, Williams, Back
I’m assuming we’ve still not got another goalkeeper to take a place on the bench so have put Back in there as nothing has been said about Edwards or Iandolo being ready to be in the squad.
Crawley currently occupy 21st spot in the table and only have six wins in the league this season with their last win coming against Harrogate at the end of January. They have had a tough run of fixtures recently though and managed to pick up creditable draws against MK, Chesterfield and Swindon. I do think they’re one of those teams that are better than their league position suggests, although I’ve been thinking that all season and they’re running out of time to prove I’m right in my thinking. They could even find themselves in the relegation zone come five o’clock tomorrow.
On my last Crawley preview I only came up with Luke Gambin as a someone who had figured for both sides, but Daniel kindly added the following players:
Tom Dallison – Signed for an undisclosed fee from Crawley in January 2022.
Tom Eastman – Had a short spell on loan at Crawley in 2011.
Ryan Dickson – Signed for Crawley in 2014 after rejecting a new contract with us.
Jamie Cade – Signed for Crawley after being released by us in 2005.
Tarryn Allarakhia – Signed for Crawley after being released from our U21s in 2018.
The weather at the Jobserve this evening is set to be dry and chilly with a west-south-west wind making if feel even colder than the predicted five degrees. Wrap up warm U’s fans, it’s going to feel pretty cold inside the stadium tonight! Quite frankly we have a terrible record against Crawley, but I feel (hope) we’ll have too much for them this evening so I’m going for a tight 2-1 victory with goals from Lisbie and Payne.
Up the U’s! |  |

Nice one, cheers RS.
In his pre-match interview it was nice to hear Danny reminiscing about Friday nights at Layer Road, they really were special times. I just checked ticket sales, and the South Stand is approaching a sell-out, so it should be a cracking atmosphere tonight. |  |

Team announced - Hunt in for Terry, Read in for Barbrook, but otherwise as you called it RS. Strong line-up considering how few options we have. | |

Has Tovide got balance problems. I'm sure they could do something for him to stay upright! |  | | |

Six yellow cards, 18 fouls and goodness knows how many more that weren't given, but the creepy crawlies got what they came for. We should have buried them, but it's another 2pts dropped. | |

Utter crap, and that was just us. Nobody else to blame. | | | |
