Jack Butler rates the Reds’ players on show as Tom Nichols’ late penalty saw Crawley draw 1-1 against Walsall at the People’s Pension Stadium. Do you agree?

. Glenn Morris 6.5
Had little to do throughout, but was sent the wrong way after a composed penalty saw Walsall take the lead. Not much he could do to be fair.
. George Francomb - 7.5
Decent knocks looking forward to Nadesan, and great bit of covering when McNerney was beaten in a 1v1, early in the first half. Offered a lot going forward, and picked out Nadesan with some wonderful whipped crosses. In the second, Francomb sat in front of the Crawley back three and stopped most of the travelling sides’ counters.
. Joe McNerney - 7.5
See ball head ball - McNerney must have the phrase pinned above his spot in the dressing room. Dealt with Walsalls’ long throws with ease. Booked for a clattering tackle.
. Jordan Tunnicliffe - 7.5
Swept up behind the back line really well and was unlucky for the penalty. Admittedly, I am along way away - but it looked soft. Put his body on the line to win the penalty. Was as brave as it gets with the keeper flying out.
. Jack Powell - 7.5
Great ball across the box to find Tilley in the second half and worked hard in the middle - especially, in the first half when the Reds were outnumbered. Good again from Powell.
