Crawley Yesterday....
Posted: Sun Jul 10, 2022 10:51 am
22 players used yesterday, it was also interesting to note what others weren't involved.
Apparently Seny Dieng & Luke Amos were nursing knocks.
1st half: Walsh, Paal, Clarke-Salter, Dickie, Uncle Albert, Stefan, Field, Thomas,
Chair, Roberts, Dykes
2nd half: Mahoney, Hamalainen, Gubbins, Dunne, Kakay, Dozzell, Masterson,
Owens, Shodipo, Kelman, Bonne.
I met up with Sammy at Park Royal & we then headed off to Victoria Station for
the trip to Crawley.
Bumped into Ray Marno from Eastbourne at the station & we decided to walk to the ground.
Good Rangers turnout & it soon became the usual social occasion.
We took an early lead when Sam Field rose up to flick home Stefan's corner.
Rangers fashioned 3 or 4 efforts during the 1st half, Albert blazed over the bar & other
efforts came from Paal & Thomas.
As for the home side, not only did they fail to trouble Joe Walsh I don't remember them hardly
getting into our half before the 1st 30 mins or so!!! Half-time: 1-0.
The whole side was changed after the break & it was good to see Charlie Kelman & Macauley Bonne
as out & out strikers.
We soon doubled our lead & what a goal it was
Bonne challenged their sub keeper at the
corner of the box. He won the ball, twisted round & floated the ball magnificently into an
empty net.
A good run down the right wing from Shodipo resulted in a great cross into the box which was
superbly met 1st time by Macauley Bonne.
Despite dominating for so long, the home side pulled a goal back & 4 mins later Osman Kakay
gave away a penalty.
On 82 mins, Manny Adebowale slotted in the equaliser.
The draw certainly flattered the home side. On show for them was Aramide Oteh.
I thought Olamide Shodipo did well & apart from his goals Bonne looked the sharpest of
the 4 strikers on show.
They gave our turnout as only 1,346 in an attendance of 2,674 but looked more
