Under the new style of Kevin Betsy, when he can, Addai is needed to either find a teammate with a pass or act as a safe option for his defenders in possession. Against Leyton Orient, the 24-year-old’s indecisiveness at times could have given the opposition a goal or two. It seems he still needs to get used to the quick decisions the Reds’ play style requires.

At 22-years-of-age, Omole did well to hold his own against Leyton Orient’s new signing, Theo Archibald. Despite the physical battle, the former Spurs defender used his stature to his advantage and delivered a composed performance.

Conroy played a brilliant role for Swindon last season and looked to be the perfect fit for the Red’s new possession-based style. This weekend though, he seemed quiet and lacked confidence in possession but performed well in his partnership with Francomb. Once he’s adapted to his new side, the defender should be a certain name on every team sheet for Betsy.

Francomb’s composure on the ball was excellent. The experienced centre-back didn’t let the opposition press affect him and was pivotal in Crawley moving the ball out from the back. When Leyton Orient did get the chance, Francomb was well positioned with a block or challenging well in the air. As Crawley push for promotion this season, Betsy will rest-easy knowing he can rely on Francomb to set an example for his defence.

Ogungbo came on for Omole around the half-way mark of the second half, at left-back. On the ball, the youngster looked confident and eager to create chances. He showed exactly why he’s been able to climb the ranks at Arsenal and played with class.

Crawley began the match with hardly any attacking threat and could have used Nadesan in the starting eleven. As Orient continued to dominate possession in the second half, when the Reds' number 10 was brought on he had little effect.

Similarly, to Telford and Nichols, Appiah failed to bother the opposition defence. At times he did pull away from his position and linked up nicely with the team however, he seemed isolated for most of his time on the pitch.
