'Let's fight on' - Scott Lindsey has Crawley Town owners' 'full support' following Reds boss' Cheltenham interview

Reds lost 3-0 in Gloucestershire on Sunday – their 14th defeat of the season – after a poor second half display. Lindsey called the second half display an ‘absolute embarrassment’ and said the ‘players are just not doing enough’.

Crawley do not have a game now until January 17 with no game this weekend. Lindsey said: “We could do with a month off, really, to be honest with you to get some fresh faces in and get to work.

“Because either I’ve got to change, the club change me, or we change personnel in there. It’s very simple.”

Co-owner Ryan Gilbert, who is on the club’s board along with Raf and Daniel Khalili and Maxwell Strowman, told us Lindsey ‘as always’ has their ‘full support’.

"In partnership with Scott, we are 100% focused on the January window and look forward to welcoming a strong group into the building,” he said.

"Integrating the new talent is a key focus for Scott and the management team ahead of our next scheduled game on the 17th.

"As always, Scott and the team have our full support. Let’s fight on."

Some fans have taken to social media to question Lindsey’s position following a poor period since Boxing Day where they have only taken one point from four games.

Carl Gillespie posted ‘Scott Lindsey has to go’ on the Crawley Town FC Supporters Group on Facebook and Steve Webb wrote: “So who's going to say in Scott we trust, still? 10 games without a win, no plan B, and he's stated in the past he doesn't have one. He may have got us promoted, but that was 2 seasons ago, he didn't keep us up, and this season has been a disaster.”

The ownership group KB Sport and Leisure, under the leadership of Raf Khalili, and with the help of Director of Football Erdem Konyar, have already backed Lindsey in the transfer market with five new signings since the January Transfer Window opened and rumours of more to come in, including promotion hero Klaidi Lolos.
