1) First start for Hardie in place of Jephcott who dropped to the bench. No Mayor in the 18 with Cleal taking his place. Lolos back on the bench too in place of the absent Telford.
2) Argyle were unplayable in the first 15 but just couldn't find the killer ball. Moore and Hardie made good runs off the ball but Edwards and Bakinson either didnt see them or didnt use them preferring to go for width through Cooper.
3) The next 20 Crawley cut out Cooper and it seemed like we had transplanted the Adam's defence from last year and said keep it short - we were awful. Palmer and Grant weren't much better. We conceded a soft goal and could have let in more.
4) The last 10, Sarcevic dragged us back into the game. Clever bit of skill did the defence and the Crawley player hacked him down. Sarcevic got up and thumped the ball down the middle as the goalie went to block his normal shot.
5) Unfortunately it was the second 20 Argyle that turned up for the first 15 of the second half and it took a Canavan goal line clearance to maintain parity. Wootton looked to have lost confidence and he and Grant constantly gave the ball away although Grant did put in a number of good blocks.
6) Jephcott replaced Edwards with Moore dropping wide. We weren't firing as normal. Bakinson drove a couple of shots and Cooper ballooned one over and we lost a couple of goal mouth scrambled. Palmer had to be on his toes at the other end and saved one at feet. Grant also made a couple of saving tackles.
7) Into the last 10 and Crawley had a golden chance as Palmer was drawn off his line. Them immediately Hardie was put in but failed to finish. Blushes saved moments later as Jephcott put away his first real chance.
8 ) Double substitution with Joel Grant and Conor Grant replacing Barkinson and Hardie. There was still time for Crawley and they threw on attacking subs. 7 minutes of injury time. Crawley won a free-kick on the edge of the area. The header was nodded back and there was the equaliser.
9) Another game when we weren't quite at our best with a rare poor performance from Edwards and Cooper also not at his best. Sarcevic and Josh Grant, despite his profligacy, were the picks for me. A game we should have put away without too great effort.
