Crawley Town player ratings: 9s for goalscorers and an 8 for 16-year-old triallist as Reds beat Daggers

First half goals from Harry McKirdy (21 mins) and Harry Forster (32 mins) saw the reds 2-0 up at half time. An early mistake in the second half allowed the Daggers to pull one back, but further goals from Reece Brown and two from Trialist B finished the scoring.
