'Forget what's happened' - Scott Lindsey's message as Crawley Town look to climb the League Two table
Scott Lindsey says his new signings have got to hit the ground running as Crawley Town look to climb the table in the second half of the season.
Reds are currently 21st in the League Two table – just two points off bottom place – after winning just four of their first 25 games of the season.
But since New Year’s Day, when the January Transfer Window opened, they have made eight new signings, including former heroes Klaidi Lolos and Danilo Orsi, and given the squad a mid-season overhaul.
Lindsey believes he has the squad now capable of climbing the table, but they have got to settle quickly. “I think what we've got to do is forget what's happened and try and look forward and we want to try and bed these players in as quickly as we can, because we've got no time really,” he said.
“At the start of the season you've got pre-season, you've got the start of the season where you can bed players in, you can work with the style of play, you can work with the players and look at different players and make sure that they're bedded in really well.
“We haven't got time for that.
“We've almost got to hope that they've got ground running more so than anything.
“There's no guarantees because there's no guarantees in football, but we know that we've signed some really good people, some good characters who have actually got that winning mentality about them so, hopefully, we see a difference just from that.”
Reds host Notts County at the Broadfield Stadium on Saturday.
