Crawley Town player ratings: Goalscorer gets a 9 as Colin Kazim-Richards enjoys dream start as head coach
Crawley Town secured three points in Colin Kazim-Richards’ first game in charge as the Reds beat Gillingham 2-0 at the Broadfield Stadium.
Two second half injury time goals from Taylor Richards and Tobi Adeyemo sealed the win for the Reds, who stay 21st in League Two and travel to relegation rivals Newport County on Good Friday.
Here’s how we rated the players:
Jacob Chapman – 7 – Didn’t really have much to do. Distribution was good.


Scott Malone – 8 – An absolute rock at the back. Calm under pressure
Charlie Barker – 7 – Looked solid at the back. Dealt with what came his way well.
Lewis Richards – 7 – Looked solid in defence, and good going forward. Replaced by Akin Odimayo on 81 minutes.
Dion Pereira – 7 – A good performance from Pereira. Good in possession down the right side. Replaced by Taylor Richards on 73 minutes.
Ade Adeyemo – 7 – Good going forward but was part of a back four and defensively not as good.
Jay Williams – 8 – As solid as he has been in the middle. Good going forward.
Louis Copley – 7 – Good to see Copley back in the side. Battled well alongside Williams. Replaced by Max Anderson on 73 minutes.
Tobi Adeyemo – 9 – Had a great game up front. Scored Crawley’s second goal in injury time.
Ronan Darcy – 7 – Played out on the left and didn’t seem as effective in that role. Replaced by Harry Forster on 73 minutes.
Danilo Orsi – 6 – Didn’t really get into the game that much. Some good runs but nothing else. Replaced by Harry McKirdy on 46 minutes.
