'Mark my words we’re gonna cook this season' - Crawley Town fans react after impressive win at York City

Goals from Gianmarco Di Biase and Danilo Orsi saw Reds progress to first round of the Carabao Cup where they will face Watford on Saturday.

But it was not just the result, the performance was very impressive all over the park with players old and new impressing.

Charlie Barker, who started the game as captain, was immense, Priestly Farquharson impressed next too him and Malcolm Ebiowei showed moments of magic in the first half, including the sensational ball to Kellan Gordon which led to the opening goal.

But you could mention every players’ performance on a memorable night for the Reds.

And fans took to social media afterwards to celebrate.

Lewis Foley replied to the club’s full-time post on X: “Mark my words we’re gonna cook this season.”

Josh Falkner said: “Excellent performance! Two strikers off the mark, clean sheet, 16 players getting minutes, solid.”

Tom JC posted: “Good all over the pitch, York scored goals for fun and to get a clean sheet there and beat them shows our quality. Looking forward to the season.”

Chris Lord simply said: “Unreal lads.”

Alfie (@Alfie_AFCW) said: “Solid Defence. Effective Buildup. Ability to put the ball in the back of the net. If you can keep the blueprint you had tonight it seems some people may have to change their predictions. Coming from someone who don’t support either team.”

Jai Sra posted: “Both strikers off the mark. Really solid defending throughout… Priestley so good, hopefully nothing serious. Crawley would’ve crumbled here in previous seasons, he’s York’s problem to deal with now.”

Le Stiggy posted on the Crawley Town FC Supporters Group Facebook page: “Impressive away performance looking forward to a more positive season this year.”

Michael Fox said: “Played nice stuff first half battled well 2nd. Promising signs.”
