First half we dominated and really should have been more clinical and killed them off. However, typical of us we just didn’t turn up second half. We created absolutely nothing and were deservedly punished. Bitterly disappointed to be honest as we let them off the hook.

Predictable. Knew the equaliser would come after we missed our final chance in the first half. We switch off after 85 minutes.
@easymorninrebel
Same stuff, different week. Once again not ruthless, once again punished late on. Now have an extra game that we don’t need. Only positive is that we are actually in the draw.
@bradcooper71696
Three terrible second halves in a row and three where Powell has refused to attack the opposition. Where are our cojones?
@danbasildonblue
Another opportunity blown thanks to another shambolic second half display. It’s difficult to remain positive when they play like that against poor opposition. It’s all starting to feel very similar to how it was a year ago.
@djmikejolly
Shocking. Guy in front of me taking pictures of the clouds. Said it was more interesting than the game. He had a point.
@stevewest1903
The game should have been closed out by half-time. Negative approach at end of first half carried over into second which was worse. Crawley defence couldn’t handle the passing and movement in first 10 minutes but that didn’t last. Now an extra game we could do without.
@goneshrimping
One striker at home against League Two opposition for the last third of the game is saying to the opposition bring it on. I’d have thought previous experience of this tactic should have been enough. And has our midfield only got 60 minutes in their legs?
@philjd52
Should have buried the tie in the first 20 minutes but poor finishing again. Second half was embarrassing, we played as if it was a pre-season friendly and totally underestimated Crawley who deserved their draw. We need goalscorer. Time to bring in Wabo or young Charlie Kelman.
@mattholland99
Honeymoon period well and truly over for Chris Powell. If that was a Phil Brown team he would have been castigated for ordering the team to sit back and protect a 1-0 lead. Baffling in every way. Still can’t take chances, still can’t kill games off.
@sheldonw65
Clueless, inept and passionless. Second half a disgrace.
