Crawley Town player ratings: Who shone for the Reds in their opening day defeat at Carlisle United?

Carlisle United forward Kristian Dennis’ early goal consigned Crawley Town to a 1-0 away defeat in Kevin Betsy’s first League Two game in charge.

Alain Harper and fans on the GH Away Travel coach did the player ratings for the game at Brunton Park.

They said: “Not a great start to the season but not creating anything up front is worrying despite having four forwards on in the second half.

“We gave the ball away so many times and the midfield work rate was sadly lacking at times. The team must improve going forward.”

Here’s how Alain and the travelling Reds supporters rated the players’ performances in Carlisle.
