Watford trip will Crawley Town stars 'where they want to be', says Reds boss Kazim-Richards
Crawley Town head coach Colin Kazim-Richards believes Saturday’s match against Watford will show the players where they want to be.
Reds travel to the Championship side on Saturday in the first round of the Carabao Cup after beating Scott Lindsey’s York City on Monday night.
And a trip to Vicarage Road will show the ambition this Crawley Town have got, according to Kazim-Richards. “What Saturday does now against Watford is show these players where they want to be,” he said.
“That's the games that they want to play and that's where we want to get to? We're not going there to make up the numbers. We're going there and I'm going there to set up to win. Football's like that.
“Any given day, anyone can be anyone, right? But what it does do is show everybody where they want to be and where we should be heading.”
Defender Charlie Barker, who was outstanding at York on Monday night, said his side deserve Saturday’s trip. He said: "The boys have worked hard, they've pushed their bodies in their first 90 minutes. They deserve to go get that trip to Watford, but we're going there to win.
"They're going to be a good side, but if we played like we did at times tonight, I think we can compete with anyone.”
