Crawley Town Column: Feed the Ors and he will score!
I was going to write this column about past FA Cup third round glories against the likes of Derby and Leeds for the Reds, but the return of striker Danilo Orsi on a permanent two and a half year deal has changed all that!
What an unbelievable signing, with Klaidi Lolos signed last week as well, we have a very familiar looking and dangerous front two again. Lolos coming back was amazing enough, but to then sign Orsi as well is unbelievable. Both players add to the other latest recruits in, Louie Copey, Akin Odiniayo, Jonny Russell, Tobi Adeyemo, Taylor Robinson and Theo Vassell. So in total eight new players through the door already in this transfer window. I’ve never known a January shopping spree like it, and I thought my Mrs loved a bargain! Hats off to our owners for putting their money where their mouths are. Clearly we have people at this football club that are determined to succeed. Scott Lindsey must have thought all his prayers have been answered at once to get such a highly talented group of new players in the building. It’s just a shame we are so far off the play offs. Because with some of the talent now at his disposal, it’s only a matter of time before we start climbing up the league.
If ever a fan base and a football club needed a pick me up, this has certainly done the trick. I can easily imagine a much higher percentage through the turnstiles when we take on Notts County at the Broadfield Stadium this Saturday. The only disappointment I can see is Nick Tsaroula coming out the tunnel in the wrong shirt!
Our season starts again here, Come on you Reds!!
