As Crawley were brushed aside by an impressive Oldham, Jack Butler rates the players on a disappointing afternoon at the People’s Pension Stadium.
9. Josh Wright 5.5
Battled hard as always, but like his teammates was a bit guilty of just chasing the ball. Not much involvement in the second half, until he won a header to assist Tilley for Crawley’s goal.
10. Sam Matthews 6
Lovely turn to find space on the edge of the box, but could only fire his effort over the bar. Struggled to get on the ball and was subbed with just over 40 minutes gone.
11. Tom Nichols 6
Service was shocking. Sure enough, Nichols still works hard, but would be nice for the striker to get a ball that wasn’t just aimed hopefully in his general area or booted at his face from ten yards. Much better as part of a front two.
12. Ashley Nadesan 6
Subbed on after the first Oldham goal, but barely had a chance to catch his breath before the visitors had their second. Seemed to play right wing in the second and was found crossing the ball rather than getting on the end of them.
